I'll bite.

Are we using this as a practical real-world example and not just an abstract logic experiment?

If so, then barter economy would come into play. Now, you're bartering with perishables here so there's really no use in overproducing ("stockpiling") bread or fish.

We're to assume that all three people are looking for balanced diets, or would rather not eat just bread/fish, so both producers trade with each other for the other's product.

If a machine comes in that can produce fish or bread more efficiently than its human equivalent, then the land owner that now controls the means of production no longer needs the other two producers to pay him anything.

He can continue to take fish and bread from them, but it would just spoil uneaten in his stockpile. So, these two producers must now find something of greater value than the now devalued (see: supply shocked) fish and bread to pay the rent, if we assume the land owner is purely business-minded and has no care for preserving others professions, or face being evicted.

However, since this is a barter economy this means its also likely a libertarian system. This means the two producers would both benefit greatly from "removing" the land owner from this equation and continuing their production of an outdated good. Both now have monopolies for their goods and are well off forever to the end of time.
Fair enough, then. Which bills?

I still don't know why the political process working as intended justifies the degree of paranoia that leads to mass stockpiling of guns and ammunition, though. Or why that paranoia manifests behind all gun control legislation, not just the "draconian" attempts which fail.
Bill Gates said so, so it must be true.
>Researchers have yet to find solid evidence that automation has ever destroyed jobs.

This is completely untrue. Ball State University found that job loss in the 2000s due to automation dwarfed the loss caused by free trade[1]. There is tons of other research that corroborates that[2].

The next hololens release isn't until 2019. The current device shows a lot of potential - but you're right, the fov (and the resolution) need to massively increase. Additionally, the headset is a bit clunky and cumbersome. Hopefully, the next iteration will be lighter as well.
Diluting founders' equity is the least important point. A messed up cap table can make your startup uninvestable. It hurts the whole company, not just you, the founder. Which is why you mostly see these deals peddled by VCs without a track record.

Even if you can't get a different deal you might want to pass. There's just no point. Unless all you want is a salary.

As a technologist, and a follower of automation related news for the past 4+ years, I have basically given up on the economists, save for a handful like Robin Hanson. They will probably realize their folly when it's too late.

Even their claims that "automation based disruption didn't happen in the past" is simply false. They back their claims by pointing to current unemployment (or the pre-2007-crisis rate of 4-5%), i.e., obviously unemployment is really low therefore automation didn't take away jobs.

No you dummy. Automation did take away jobs, and the people whose jobs were lost were directly affected by it, and millions of families were destroyed.

In recent history we can point to two major time periods of this sort, the first industrial revolution (around the turn of 19th century), and the second industrial revolution (at the turn of the 20th century).

In the first one, the subject of economics, and statistics, and more involved census-taking was still in its infancy, and Europe was in general in a state of turmoil with warfare more rampant, so it's possible that the harmful effects of automation were not documented thoroughly.

The second time, things were a lot more stable, economics and statistics were a lot more developed, and yet:

- World War I happened! (why do you think things were so agitated around that time, after many decades of relative peace? Do you not call the events leading up to it social disruption?)

- Major recession happened (any chance it had anything to do with the 2nd industrial revolution?)

- World War II happened. (again, partly the result of social agitation, WWI, and recession).

In the mean time, within decades a whole generation of farmers were rendered obsolete and asked to dismiss themselves. These middle-aged and old farmers were the bread winners of their families and didn't have quite the resources to "retrain" themselves and put themselves back into the workforce, something the economists love to tell you about as a solution. What ended up happening is that, after a lot of pain and suffering, their younger generation (the "millenials" of 100 years ago) got themselves educated in the newer trades, entered the workforce and brought the unemployment back to stable levels.

If you can comprehend what happened in the decades roughly a 100 years ago, just know that what's happening this time is at least 10x worse if not more!

What about smaller businesses?

Startup and local enterprises have far less choices than the giants like Netflix, Google, Apple and cable companies.

- HW box: insane venture for a small businesses

- Desktop app: Good luck with adoption! Unless you're Apple and have a way to force your iTunes-equivalent down your users' throats. Also, lots of work specific to desktop apps.

- Mobile app: Again, good luck with adoption. You'll need a way to show the content on larger screens. Also, lots of work specific to each mobile platform.

- Blu-Ray: let's assume not an option

- Browser app: Less adoption friction as it will work on any device with a modern browser (including Smart TVs and game consoles). Lots of work, but can be used for every platform (including native apps by using web views).

Browser apps are clearly the best choice for smaller businesses, except for one problem: no DRM.

Content producers/middlemen see non-DRM content as a piracy risk (a questionable decision) and therefore write requirements for a certain level of "content protection" into their licensing agreements. Smaller businesses have less bargaining power and it is unlikely they could negotiate out such a clause (or convince the middleman of the stupidity of DRM and how it rarely actually prevents piracy).

EME will enable smaller distribution businesses, increasing competition and giving consumers more choice.

There hasn't been any net yet.
One doesn't deserve a high valuation just because the problem they are solving is hard.

The company he came from, Amazon, has more cash than anyone could raise. They have logistical expertise and are perfecting same day shipping at a national scale.

They also offer Amazon "Fresh" which is essentially the same service except they don't skirt labor laws by classifying their employees as contractors.

And non-tech people actually trust Amazon and order quite a bit from them.

For them to succeed outside of a few big cities would require gross negligence and incompetence by Amazon, which isn't impossible. But seems unlikely.

Unsubstantiveness and name-calling make for a bad kind of HN comment. If you have a substantive point, you're welcome it to make it thoughtfully. If you don't, please don't post here.
tl;dr is that Amazon can deliver a better experience because they actually know exactly what they have in their own warehouses. Often times on Instacart you order something and it gets replaced with something else because it was out of stock, because they work with other stores like Safeway, Whole Foods.

Also everyone already has a relationship with Amazon so it's just easier to go that route.
Not OP, but unfortunately YouTube Red isn't available in places like Canada last I've checked.
> What would actually have been leaked, a cleartext password or the encrypted/hashed password stored on an affected server (or both)?

Depends on the app. The apps I write will do a PBKDF2 w/ 20K rounds on a password before sending to the server, which then hashes that hash again before storing/comparing. I suspect most apps just sent the username/password plaintext over SSL, meaning the plaintext passwords would have been leaked if the app used Cloudflare to terminate SSL.

That said, if someone got the PBKDF2ed password hash from the SSL payload, they could just as easily use that to log into an account, but they'd have to at least do a little bit of work to break the hash if they wanted to actually crack the password.

In other words, you were absolutely right to change all your passwords.

I'm pretty impressed as well. I'm using as a IDE/debugger for Python code and running under Linux, and works very well. The debugger is not as solid as PyCharm, but the editor is certainly better.

It became my second go-to editor, right after Sublime. Kudos to Microsoft for releasing as a free tool, and multi-platform.
Hi there, I work for Keen IO. The AutoCollector SDK was fixed early this morning. Version 1.0.8 no longer sends password fields in plaintext. If you upgrade your version to 1.0.8 you'll be good to go. We're working to inform all users of our AutoCollector SDK that they should upgrade immediately. Thanks again for bringing this to our attention.

I actually agree that online grocery shopping should be great. It's mystifying to me that it isn't: if you go to the UK, the experience is fantastic: order direct from the grocery store, easy to order, cheap and efficient delivery.

I think it's pretty logical that with lower corporate tax rates, we would see an increase in business activity in the economy

Ask the state of Kansas and its "March to Zero" tax plan how that turned out.

Hint: it's been plenty of time for these policies to have their effect, and business is not booming and the budget deficit is blowing up like a balloon.
Yep. We also need to start treating people who don't believe in anthroponegic global warming the same as regular climate change deniers. Because at the end of the day both groups fight against efforts to curtail global warming.
Not necessarily. If the license allows you to redistribute the code, you're just redistributing it to GitHub, and you're OK as far as the software license goes.

If GitHub then does things with that code that the license doesn't allow, it was GitHub that is doing something it's not allowed to - unless, as uploader, you've agreed to indemnify GitHub for this sort of thing.

We already have tremendous political instability in the US and Europe right now caused in part by a not-so-great-but-not-devastating economy and the Syrian refugee crisis.

I see your talking 64 bit floats there which is my habit too.
Having only 24 bit mantissa float32s seem insufficient for producing practically uniform variates - the missing 2^24th can be spotted averaging just a billion or so of them.
I dont know if it has been improved recently but last year Chrome's Math.random was only putting 32 bits into its float64 - the missing four-billionth can be suggested from the average of a few hundred billion variates.
Yes because three.js does. (I helped implement that in three.js)
It's easy to see and I've said this here before. As a business owner doing manufacturing (for example) replacing manual labor with automation costs less. That's less in terms of TCO, so that includes setup, operation, energy, and maintenance. The idea that the low-skilled assembly jobs are just replaced by high-skilled jobs is untrue. Those high-skilled jobs pay more - perhaps 2-5x more, and if the TCO is actually less that means significantly fewer man-hours due to the higher hourly rate.

The notion of replacing low-skilled jobs with high-skilled, better paying ones is true. However since the TCO to the one purchasing the automation is LOWER it says a lot about the total number of people to maintain the system.

This of course neglects any secondary effects where lower costs may increase volume and wider use of the product. But to a first approximation automation destroys jobs. Obviously.

These arguments are weak, and unconvincing.

One particular stood out. That EME would protect user's privacy somehow. But that sandboxing, as his primary illustration of HOW that might occur, is NOT part of the standard.

So, the standard does not protect the user directly. His assumption is that browser manufacturers will do so via robust sandboxing against the EME blob. (and for now, they probably will)

His core argument rotates on a few points, essentially boiling down to "its better for the user to have EME than not", so having this central argument for this make sense is important.

And it doesn't make sense. EME doesn't directly protect the user's privacy. It perhaps allows, via unspecified methods, a browser to do things. Maybe.

Given these rationalizations, I wonder what his REAL reason for pushing EME? Fear of being left out of the conversation and wanting to be "friendly" to content interests is my top suggestion.

We will see where this goes, but I don't envy the massive hit to his reputation he's taking here.

I am extremely sad that this turns into an argument for making certain that all source code in the world is at least indirectly accessible specifically via GitHub (at which point people will find it there and expect the developers to respond and generally track everything going on there, even projects which are much happier using more open tools); like: it isn't sufficient that your code is "open", it actively has to be part of the unified GitHub empire.
Thats a pretty bold conclusion. What evidence do you have to assert this? I'm not being a jerk, its just everything I've read in the past indicated that routine checkups do not lead to better health outcomes. If new contradicting evidence is available I'd love to know.
While Vox tends to lean pretty strongly anti-Trump I think this article is actually pretty good/neutral.
I think the difficulty in seeing how this time really is different is that increasing technology is exponential at replacing human labor. But exponential growth is extremely unintuitive. It initially looks linear, and this approximately linear phase can last an arbitrary amount of time. But eventually, a wall is hit and seemingly overnight the explosion is unstoppable. I feel we've been in the approximately linear phase all this time which is why we have so many naysayers saying this time isn't any different. We'll never have the political will to make changes until a third of the country is unemployable.

Whether it is because the business model is terrible (they make all of their money on ads) or the app can't possible have users (it looks horrible and I can't figure it out), the end result is the same - less competition and more breathing room to have a shot at succeeding.

So basically the Laffer curve? [0] It's definitely an intuitively appealing idea, but the point at which government revenue is maximised might occur at a much higher tax rate than you think (if the empirical work in this area is to be believed, which is a tenuous proposition either way). Also worth remembering that the government revenue maximising tax rate is very unlikely to be the economically optimal tax rate.

At any rate, barring some kind of international agreement on minimum corporate tax rates (which seems unlikely), there will always be incentive for governments to lower corporate tax rates to attract foreign capital (though I think the argument is less strong in the case of the US compared to a smaller open economy).
