I went to Disneyworld a month ago. My first thought when they scanned my finger prints was "bet that was forwarded to the government so they can easily unlock my phone"

As for why they do it, it's to make sure you don't share a pass. Buy 2 passes, 2 people go in. 1 person comes out with 2 passes. Goes back in with extra person, repeat.

They don't scan you on the way out. They could but it would be annoying (and maybe illegal?) to have to line up to get out of the parks.
They didn't invent the term. The term was invented first. The OSI was founded later. See the OSI's own post on this [1].

A much more detailed discussion of the origin of the term and its initial use appears here [2]. The latter link in particular is interesting reading, because it includes the political dimensions (especiall w.r.t O'Reilly's difficulties with the FSF).

Oddly they never say that DNSCrypt encrypts your DNS traffic, just that it's cryptographically secure.

The OpenDNS page on DNSCrypt does state that traffic is encrypted.

Confusing...
California passes ballot propositions all the time that Norquist (and the often more relevant in California, similarly aligned Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association) oppose.
dnscrypt is an encrypted channel back to the DNS server. They can tell it's going to OpenDNS because of the IP address, but the cannot see the payload.

A CNAME isn't a redirect; if you add a CNAME record from thing1.example.net pointing to thing2.example.com, the browser still uses the domain name thing1.example.net for certificates, and just does a DNS lookup on thing2.example.com.
The size I'm referring to is shown in iTunes Connect, which is the administrative side of the App Store that the developer uses to manage their app releases. As far as I'm aware the size shown in the App Store's user-facing UI does reflect the size that will be downloaded by the device. I think it's possible to see this size in iTunes Connect, but since I don't myself have any apps in the App Store I can't easily verify this.
One major hurdle is that getting to anywhere habitable other than the surface of the Earth is way beyond our technological ability.

So instead of having a livable minimum wage, you pay people under a livable wage, then tax the business/business owner and use that tax to pay food stamps to the worker. Makes way more sense! /s

> What does a business do? In a real competitive environment you can't have your expenses go up by $24K per month and simply raise your prices. It doesn't work that way at all.

> If you source materials and services from other US-based companies and all of them see their wage costs go up by 25% you can bet some of your costs will go up.

I thought companies couldn't raise their prices? So pick one, either prices go up or costs don't.
I wouldn't necessarily use the term "exploited" (I would save that for a different sort of situation), but you've certainly been put in an untenable position.

It sounds to me as if the problem here is not the pay grade but the expectations. Did you know what those expectations would be when you agreed to the project?

What you're expected to get done in the designated number of hours sounds to me as if it would be unreasonable at virtually any pay rate. Assuming the app you're building has a certain level of complexity, I wouldn't expect those results in that time frame from anyone less than the most experienced professionals. And it's obviously unreasonable to expect you, as a student, to work at an equivalent velocity.

My guess would be that the people in charge of this project don't actually understand the work involved in it. Either way, I would run, not walk away from it.
There's a github link on the website.

You are not getting my point.

The relationship between two nouns in a noun-noun compound is very flexible. Sometimes it means the head noun is made out of the attributive noun ("apple pie"), sometimes it means the head noun is found in the attributive noun ("ice algae"), sometimes it means something completely different (how about "ice axe"?). So, because that relationship is so flexible, it's just not absurd to consider that in the case of "ice tea" the relationship is that the head noun contains the attributive noun, as is exactly the case with "bubble tea" and many other NN compound examples.

And I will say again that the semantic relationship between "is made out of" and "contains" is so, so similar. Given the huge variety of acceptable semantic relationships between two nouns in a NN compound, it's really ridiculous to claim that "contains" is not acceptable whereas "is made out of" is, especially so when there are tons of examples of the "contains" relationship that staunch prescriptivists never object to (again, "bubble tea").
Anthropogenic CO2. I thought that was apparent. Naturally emitted CO2 emissions are relatively constant and balanced over the last several hundred years, anthropogenic CO2 is not. Therefore as we continue to produce excess CO2 which cannot be absorbed by the system it results in excess CO2 which is not removed for upwards of 1000 years. We're removing sequestered CO2 and putting it in the atmosphere. It's not that complex.

From the same article I posted and you referenced:

"Dissolution of CO2 into the oceans is fast but the problem is that the top of the ocean is “getting full” and the bottleneck is thus the transfer of carbon from surface waters to the deep ocean. This transfer largely occurs by the slow ocean basin circulation and turn over (*3). This turnover takes 500-1000ish years. Therefore a time scale for CO2 warming potential out as far as 500 years is entirely reasonable."

You stated:
"Because of that the proportion of CO2 that stays in the atmosphere for a given time follows an exponential law with a decay coefficient of -log(1-0.27)=0.19" this was not in the article. You're applying equations which are not appropriate to the system.

To repeat: https://www.ipcc.ch/pdf/assessment-report/ar5/wg1/WG1AR5_Cha... rather than make up equations and argue with me about the minutia you really need to take some time and understand the physical science basis as explained by experts.

Within a thousand years, the remaining atmospheric fraction of the CO2 emissions (see Section 6.3.2.4) is between 15 and 40%, depending on the amount of carbon released (Archer et al., 2009b).

Again....I'd be interested to know what you're reading that brought you these arguments as they seem to be passed around circles of skeptics (not saying deniers).
After rereading the bill of rights I see your point, though it still seems like a very nuanced loophole that can and has been used to supralegally imprison and abuse social deviants (i.e. political dissidents in the USSR, marijuana smokers in the US).

If that was true, TeX already has us covered.
This theory is pretty easily debunked when you consider the primary goal of bitcode is to strip assets from apps that aren't relevant to a user's device, hence taking up less space.

(For example, removing @2x images for a plus device that uses @3x images, or vice-versa).

A good thought, but the problem is, the strata of society that will be affected the most by this kind of automation do not necessarily have the right skill-set to transition to these jobs that tackle these "nice to solve" problems. Think of your average truck driver - what will he do when trucks are suddenly driving themselves? Automation may not hit all of these kinds of sectors all at once, so he might find something to do in the short-term, but over time it will take over most of the jobs that don't require human ingenuity.

Flux devs also ignored all (!) my e-mails about fixing how Flux reads its settings. You can directly edit the settings file via Terminal, but Flux ignores all the values you set and simply sticks to the ones set in the app itself.. even after a restart of the app or a reboot.
> We don't rewrite every law after the people that wrote it died

Sure, for one reason for convenience. But Jefferson, it must be noted, wanted something similar for every law and Constitution (time based, because the alternative is impractical), specifically because the law should represent the will of the people living under it, not the dead hand of the past generation.

You mentioned in another comment that if APL is to go anywhere, that it needs to be open sourced. Unfortunately, the cost of Dyalog and the fact that it is closed source are the main reasons why I've ended up using J.

I appreciate that Dyalog is free for non-commercial use, but I think that part of what makes a programming language successful is if people can start using it in small ways to make their work better. For instance, at my previous job we started using Go for small things and it eventually took on a larger role once we saw how well it worked out in practice. Had we needed to pay to use Go for those small things, we never would have even tried it in the first place. I realize that the Dyalog company needs to actually make money somehow, but I wonder if they are aware of this problem. I did email Dyalog to see if using Dyalog for my work at a non-profit constituted commercial use, but they said that it did. :(

Edit: The reason why I haven't used GNU APL is because it seems like getting it to work under Windows will be difficult, and my work is unfortunately a Windows environment. Maybe I should give it a shot anyway.

What you call will is no different in my mind than any other thing we encode into a NN - it's a different level and depth.

Creating motivation in AI is an open area, and in fact is arguably the big hairy beast when it comes to the "Friendly AI" question or really the whole "General" part of it.

You do the same thing everyone else does in this debate which is move the poles - we don't know how to build "emotions", we don't know how to build motivation - until we do or it is perhaps an emergent property of a sufficiently deep net.

Too many other strawmen in there to argue eg. the idea that we will need always tell them what to do.

The point I am making is that because the reinforcement nature of biological systems is mimicked in the basic ANN structure, it's the strongest candidate (at scale) for the building blocks of an AGI.

Mine hurt for more than a month. It's worth it and I'd do it again in a heartbeat, but hate it when people go around telling everyone that it will all exactly be the same. It ain't. Muzzle velocity is lower and the ammunition is visibly no longer standard issue. Further, the recoil action is quite a bit less intense. There's a lot of psychological stuff going on in this mind space, and discounting people's feelings about what is ultimately a primal urge is just foolish.
This is the type of comment I come to hackernews for. Great summary of the possible situation.
I said explicitly in my comment that I don't think this is some
grand conspiracy. I don't think Xcode makes big files to use up disk space. I think Apple just has little incentive across the entire ecosystem to use less storage or use storage more efficiently.

Afaik bitcode is so that Apple can rebuild binaries for different target architectures (e.g. new models of phone, watch, et c) without source developer interaction. It should come in major handy in the OSX app store when ARM64 Macbooks ship in a year or two. A full app store of working apps on hardware launch day will make the bitcode requirement worth it when it's the smoothest architecture transition they've ever done (out of 680x0->ppc and ppc->x86).
Long and very technical. Wow. Really interesting stuff, especially the game specific stuff at the end.

I'm not sure your question has any bearing on reality?

There is no law that explicitly states that selling individualized internet search history is illegal. However, (and you would know this if you read the techdirt article) internet advertising marketplaces don't function that way. It's not that it's illegal, its just inefficient.

Stanislaw Lem, and the Strugatsky Brothers - I think that Soviet-era SF really asked the 'big' questions and is far away from today's 'SF but actually just an action movie with lasers instead of bullets' standard.

For Lem, try Solaris, or His Master's Voice. He often dealt with how alien intelligence is impossible to understand (compare Wittgenstein: if a lion could speak we would not understand him). He also wrote many satires (Pilot Pirx / Fables for Robots).

The English translations of the Strugatsky Brothers you commonly get aren't good as they're translated from (I think) German, not Russian, but the new direct translations from Olena Bormashenko are MUCH better, they flow so much better. Stay away from the old ones.

I think there's a couple of problems with this line of reasoning.

There's not infinite problems to solve - we live in a finite universe, and once we invent a general AI then that's the last thing (as the saying goes) that you ever need to invent -- consequently, no more problems to solve (other than working out how to survive their revolt etc etc).

There's the implication that humans can solve all these infinite employment-providing problems -- clearly plenty of these will be solvable more effectively by AI's (of either variant).

Finally, on this point, there's the implied value judgement in there that we want 'infinite employment opportunities' ... where want either means culturally / emotionally, or just that it's an objectively good and worthwhile goal (to have everyone 'employed' -- and I concede I may be misunderstanding your use of that word) and that we all agree that this is the ideal we should be working <haha> towards.

Beyond that first sentence ... education in new fields is not guaranteed (and casual observation of the rate of growth of ML / AI suggests it's somewhere between hubris and naivete) to be possible, or worthwhile, for humans to exclusively engage in - at the exclusion of, or even just competition with, ML / AI.

Again, extrapolating from what we're seeing happen already, it's likely that we humans will be eclipsed relatively soon in our ability to speculate and investigate these new fields.

So from the article:

"India has more married women with an unmet need for family planning than any other country, and social stigma and a lack of privacy in stores has kept condom use to less than 6 percent."

Progressive acceptability maybe - but it appears Indians have very poor compliance, at least with condoms. Here's some data from the UN in 2015. India does OK compared to the rest of the world in regards to contraception. Most contraception use in India is by permanent sterilization - which is likely BTL (bilateral tubal ligation).

No matter how much we invest in space colonization, only a minuscule fraction of humans will ever be able to leave earth within the next ~100 years. The cost is simply too high, and technologies like reusable rockets will only bring that down marginally. Only a technology breakthrough in propulsion or materials science will change this equation, and making those areas a higher priority won't necessarily accelerate progress much.
I truly can't work out from this and your earlier comments if you're trolling, being intentionally obtuse, believe you're immune by nature of inherited wealth or sanguine expectations around your employment, or simply don't understand the nature and scale of the problems that are being described here.

BlazingDB uses gpus to speed up transformations, predicates, running predicates on skip data metadata, gpu accelerated join algorithms. In terms of partitioning we use both to generate the data skipping meta data on the partitions and to reorder data around so that we can minimize the number of comparisons joins will likely require or reduce the number of partitions that need to be operated on. At large scale reorganizing information becomes very expensive the gpus allow us to crunch those numbers very quickly.
