Often not good? Where?

The French do care about food, it's not a stereotype. I live in Germany and most people here don't really mind having a company restaurant that's "good enough", or don't mind not having a hot meal for dinner. The French (and a few other nationalities) really do, and put more effort and money into eating properly.

How many ISIS members do you think will read these comments?

IMHO, it is just childish, and to me, devalues someone's comments when they resort to insults. It's as if you were talking g about Trump or Clinton but referring to them as "idiot" rather than by name. It's simply unnecessary and shows clouded, emotional, judgement.

French people do not really talk much about food. Sometimes with foreigners, because it's a bit of a cliché topic, and foreigners usually may want to talk about it, or as a way to chitchat with a foreigner (but between french people, this very rarely happens).
However, they talk a lot about wine, really a lot, and that is very boring when you don't drink.

As for food, it really depend on the restaurants, or event where you happened to be, but I wouldn't call french food «bad», it's usually ok or above ok.
Actually, I wouldn't call any country's food «bad», not to my taste maybe, or very different to what I'm used, but generalizing to bad a whole food culture, that's a bit harsh, and certainly unfair whatever the country.
Yes. A well developed legal field is completely why lots of companies incorporate in Deleware. It's got nothing to do with highly favourable tax regimes. I'm sure it's the same reason Ireland and Luxembourg are so favourable.
What the article doesn't discuss is genetic engineering to make longer-lived humans. That's more likely to work than a rejuvenation scheme. But it's a tougher sell; it benefits only the unborn.

A major genetic redesign might require generating a new species, one that doesn't interbreed with old-style humans. Or maybe several new species; Squibb people and Novartis people might not interbreed. That's a social problem for 50-100 years out.

I personally prefer lxss. While it has some limitations, I am yet to face issues with rust projects. You can also use Intellij-based IDEs with a rust plugin and run `bash` in the command prompt accompanying the IDE. It feels like working on Linux ^_^

If Rcpp were not a thing, R might have died from being slow. Since it is a thing, though, people can easily write packages that are certainly fast enough for what they want to do, and that keeps the language useful.

Maybe not in the restaurants, but in private life. For example, when I went there as an exchange pupil, I lived with a family that had potato crisps as a side dish.

If you come to Paris as a tourist, of course you can also stumble into a lot of bad restaurants that are just looking to rip of tourists. Of course good stuff also exists.
VS17 has an option to "quick load" projects. It loads up in a jiffy (unlike it's previous versions), but you cannot use some of the IDE features.

I think it's important to consider the difference between "possible benefit" and "avoiding injury/death".

When it comes to safety--because we understandably put such a large value on human life--small risks are something we consider.

I believe all of your examples fall into the safety category. Even worse about your examples is that the situations are unsafe and misleading. I think our regulations surrounding the safety issues that you listed are reasonable.

Pre-commit: framework for managing multi-language pre-commit hooks
Its simple, but that doesn't make it easy.

The most tractable way to pull it off is to dramatically lower your expenses. How much do you need to live? If you can get a consistent 5% interest from your assets (-2% inflation) then $1m will net you $30k of spending money per year without digging into the base. Saving up that much money in the tech sector over an entire career (especially one thats been extended due to anti-aging research, which is what we're talking about) is very doable. Lots of people pull it off, they just call that asset 'their house' and call saving money 'paying off the mortgage'. If you sell / rent out the house and move somewhere cheap then you can be pretty comfortable living on less than $30k/yr, depending on what you want to do.

Science researches problems that are deemed important, and funding of those problems should be proportional to the importance of the problem. Death I argue is one of the most important problems of all so research on how to cure it should be funded much better than it is. If it happens in our lifetime or in our children's or in 100 years doesn't matter. What matters is that every day we accelerate the curing of aging we're saving 150K lives.
I'm sure you can get a lot of good food, it was just my personal experience, and my remark was meant to be humorous. I should also note that I don't like wine much, and I was a vegetarian when I was in French - not the best conditions for enjoying their food.

Talking about food and wine all the time would quickly get boring to me, so I'd probably prefer the Sillicon Valley version in the long run.
It's a classic induction error. N=2 is worthless.
Wayland works pretty well now, it's just lacking software support. And even that's not much of a problem, because you can run X clients inside it with XWayland.

It is not strictly "experimental software" at this point.

Also, Fedora is the "bleeding edge" distribution of Red Hat and is purposefully usen as testing bed for new features, like in this case Wayland.

So if you're using Fedora and don't like Wayland, systemd and other such "experimental software", maybe you should stop using Fedora.

(That's not to say I like Red Hat or what it is doing to the Linux community by forcefully pushing whatever they want to be the default on every Linux distro out there.)
The unsupervised learning capabilities demonstrated by a human infant are a pretty lofty target. Give it time.
I still see a major shift, in that we're passing the point of human abstraction levels. Before, everything was at best a tool. An peripheral for the same kind of humans ever to use. Now we're changing ourselves. It's a lot more different.

ps: btw, "good life" hasn't changed to me. Who wants to go to the country side, walk in the forest, sit down a fire with friends, look at the sun, the sky; animals. Enjoy a disconnected cabin ? To me the basics of happiness didn't change, and tech doesn't really improve that either; in a way .. tech is often pornographic in substance; an excitation in "more" (more capabilities, more bandwidth, more speed).

I'm from the camp the singularity is a continuous process.

When you travel away from the Sun, the light from it gets dimmer and dimmer and dimmer, until it becomes single photons appearing with more and more delays but on average energy of 'dimmer' light.

Fly towards the Sun and there isn't a sudden cutoff point where it goes from dark to bright, or bright to incandescent, it's a continual increase.

Same with life, lots of people born, lots of intensity around birth and infant children and parents and education, intensity diminishes with age as people spread out and dissipate, everyone's looking back in at the source of new life while getting further and further from it and more and more separated from each other and lower energy levels and less and less 'happening'.

Singularity? Moving towards the intensity with technological development and more intricate, faster, and sheerly more connectivity all over, more encoding of ideas into information patterns.

Unless you want to imagine it like flying towards the Sun becoming falling towards the Sun, becoming a specific point where everyone burns up and dies. :/
I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt and say this article is designed to be from the point of view of the user and to imply that you simply shouldn't get carried away with new systems, because they don't provide inherant value.

However, the author doesn't write that clearly (except maybe right at the end), and instead comes across as "I don't get the value of this, so I'm going to claim it has none." PulseAudio gave me a ton - individual volument control for aplications, routing different devices to different applications easily, routing audio over a network, etc... Likewise, most of the examples provide some value. Everyone just has hatred for it because Ubuntu rolled it out too early when it was still not very stable, and people still remember it as this buggy problematic thing, even though it's been rock-solid for years, in my experience.

The Firefox example is the most stupid - they are moving to a shared standard with other browers precicely to get away from the issue of every browser having their own standard.

To me, this just reads as another "Wah, things are changing and I want everything to stay the same". Suck it up. Yes, often developers make or use new things just because we like learning and exploring. That doesn't mean new things can't do something it would be excessively hard to do in the old thing. It's about weighing up the cost/reward.

Again, I'm probably being too hard on the article - it does kind of make this point at the end, but in my opinion ends up making the point of "fear new!" instead of the more nuanced point of "address the cost to your user of using something new before using it" that I think it's actually trying to make.

I doubt I can stop it. Even if I were to construct an impressively viral meme set akin to, say, Christianity or Islam, and which makes researching immortality or attempting to become immortal a primary taboo. Even then, it would only take a few people immune to my meme set to open Pandora's box here.

Still, such a meme set would significantly delay the inevitable. If you're going to spread ideas, a HN comment is as good a place as any to start. Beats a street corner and a sandwich board...

"Very few people cook for each other. If it’s at home it’s often food delivered from a startup like caviar or for the wealthier hosts a private chef."

Really? I'm in the UK and even wealthy people try to put effort into actually cooking for their guests, even if it's something as simple as a roast thrown in the oven for an hour. I definitely always cook for my guests, unless we're in mood for pizza, then it's takeaway.

I've definitely noticed that about some American homes though - massive kitchens with huge gas ranges, and they all look completely brand new, unused - is it that people cook less in general?

Let's take some safe language, e.g. c#

1. object should not exist and the second free is incorrect

In C# I can have to variables pointing to the same object, I null only one of them. The second should be nulled too, but it's not. That's a logic error. So in C# I end up with some object that should not be there, but it is. Which is better - doube-free or undestroyed object - depends on use case.
As someone with an economics background (BA), and medical research career (concurrent with ML), I can say (subjectively), that this feels different.

You'd be surprised at the prevalence of regulations! ("You have one flush toilet. U.S. regulations require every legally habitable dwelling to have at least one flush toilet connected to an approved sewer or septic system." -- So a composting-toilet-only house seems to be illegal everywhere in the US.)

Someone could buy an incredibly valuable vacant lot and fence it and never use it. As far as I know, that's not illegal but would cause the same problem you've pointed out. I don't think the utility hookup regulations are based on such "waste of space" reasoning.

I don't think you can get 4 million.

Looking through some listings on a broker like FEInternational (https://feinternational.com/buy-a-website/), most SAAS businesses are valued at 3-4x anual profit.

He said profit margins were 60%, so $400000 x 0,6 x 4 = $960000.

And thats for a healthy business. This one is not growing, so you get probably less then that. After the seller's fee, and taxes you might end up with something like $600k.
Except that is not that simple when you own the business. You will always be responsible for things at the end of the day and that itself is a big burden.

What is human intelligence, if not the result of a colossal, distributed function optimisation process driven by evolutionary forces over millions of years?
First, most problems you encounter, even those 'more interesting' won't probably require much of an algorithm-creation chops.

It does usually require more of an ability to evaluate many of of those possible solutions that you were looking up. A.f.a.i.k this was one of the reasons why current iteration of SICP is taught in Python and not in Scheme.

But if you encounter these kinds of problems more regularly, what helped me was to build over time a library of more general problem solving strategies.

i.e. is this a graph search? Can I use dynamic algorithm? Is there some recurring pattern that would suggest recursive algorithm? Can I pre-compute something that would help here?

I acquired my (even though somewhat limited) library by studying the problem areas that interested me. I.e. graph theory, distributed systems, complexity theory, databases/logic programs, security. On the other hand, I have learned most of this while in college.

Difficulty level 1: The only ML in there was some 1-line language translation feature they were consuming off Watson REST services for a tangential feature on their app

Difficulty level 2: Self-trained CNN on a custom dataset using TensorFlow and changes to start/end layers on the NN

Difficulty level 3: Custom rolled 12 layer CNN trained with with novel hand labeled data.

How many people to you think know the difference between these and the fact that each step is a magnitude or more harder than the last? That's not even getting into trying to apply research grade stuff.
That could viably work, but has one downside.

If you shift all the way to the extreme of "super safe", when the inevitable bored trolls come along and figure out how to game the automated filter and get gore/porn/whatever into the safe sandbox for long enough for it to get a few views, the news will have a field day from the resulting chaos.

Ultimately, any company that tries to do this will get bad press.

You would literally need a mod team running 24/7 vetoing every single video before okaying it. And you'd need like a 7-second delay for streams.

But then you'd have the problem of "hi whoever's watching this video and making sure it's okay".

Closed/private video streams with a bounded number of participants would be the responsibility of those who joined the group though.

So it's really a money question. And the fact that you'd need 1.5-1.8 mods (however you'd implementationally interpret that) to get around human tiredness and boredom, driving costs up.
Yup. But it may be that some people with enough information and time to watch the stock and relevant data on it literally second by second could make a killing. And some people might be in a position to influence the time of the turning point and stimulate an avalanche of a fall.

Broadly, no way do I believe that many people, not even fleets, especially not individuals, will put up with the charging time of a battery powered car. It's just so darned much more convenient to fill up a 20 gallon tank with gasoline.

My guess is that the promise of electric cars was boosted by both the anti-fossil fuel push and the self-driving push. IMHO, with Trump, the anti-fossil fuel people just lost, big time, for a long time. E.g., we won't have carbon taxes, the theme will be "drill, baby, drill", and US gasoline prices are on the way down. For self-driving, my view is that the lawyers will make the insurance rates too high and more lawyers will pass some very restrictive laws. Then self-driving will be for some special cases and/or will need a lot of highway engineering that will take a lot of time and money and won't happen for years. For more, no way can Tesla do something significant that GM, Ford, Chrysler, Toyota, Honda, BMW, MB, Kia, etc. can't do just as well or better. E.g., there were electric cars ~100 years ago, and the story has been the same since then or as a Ford exec once said "You build me a good battery, and I will build you a good electric car." For a while there was some hope for a capacitor, which can be charged as fast as the electric power connection permits, but that approach seems to have flopped. Finally, I'm guessing that Musk has had a lot of subsidies, and I have to guess that Trump will turn off that faucet. Net, I see no real hope for Tesla. IMHO, Tesla is going down, soon. So, some smart and/or lucky short sellers stand to make a bundle.
