This is my current hesitancy with "view through conversions" and the industry's rather, optimistic, definition of an impression (especially when running remarketing with VTC... essentially paying to target people who have quite likely found us via organic means and aren't being influenced by our ads). Currently trying lots of experiments with direct, tracked clicks from specific ads through to the CRM. Seeing only a handful of ads get any kind of direct click > conversion response with a reasonable attribution window.

So a larger scale programmatic campaign is either a much earlier part of the pipeline than a lot of the adtech companies would have you believe, or is fairly pointless.
If you take a 1980s inflation measure, or the big mac index, and extend it out, it turns negative in 1984 (87 for big mac) and stays negative. If you take government figures for inflation, yes it stays positive.

But unless you agree that since 1990 people "deserve" less housing (and therefore don't see the less square footage for their rental/mortgage dollar as any kind of loss), less fuel, a lot less education. Then in 2000 it gets lowered again. We've gotten to the point that they call the current measure "PCE deflator". So unless you agree people now deserve less of essentially any and all capital goods, ...

This is the issue with government measures. Their claim is that they're just adjusting to what they're seeing, and the "underlying value" is the same. Yet when I offer an economist to provide him with a 10 year supply of tobacco if he pays for my PhD ... no takers (and that's generous, in 1980 it was just 6.8 years of tobacco for a PhD, and I think that included housing for 5 years). That's an investment yielding over 5% ! No takers. But ... I thought the underlying value was the same ? So I'm offering you something of what you claim is greater value for something of less value, and yet you don't take the deal ? Obviously something is wrong here.

They have an excuse, obviously. The reasoning goes like this: more inflation, without higher wages - people spend less measured in goods (in a few years even in dollars) - therefore the inflation measure must be broken (doesn't represent a realistic basket of goods anymore type argument) - inflation measure gets replaced with something with less of whatever got expensive, and less in general - goto 1. Result: inflation measure gets deflated by ~5% every 5 years. Substract that and productivity growth has been negative for decades. This matches people's experiences much better than the figures, so I'm not really willing to accept the PCE deflator.

So these official figures neglect to state that "real" is calculated using about a different inflation measurement every 2 columns. Not totally non-overlapping, perhaps, but different. And despite the repeated claims that they're just changing it to reflect what people buy it always changes in the same way ...

Needless to say, for specific inflation measures, productivity is disastrous. For instance, take square footage real estate per hour worked. Gold in kg per hour worked. Those sorts of measures. They look really, really, really bad.

And for what should be the real inflation measure, the total amount of money, which is total credit + M1 supply, and calculate what portion of "the world economy" you get for an hour of work and see it evolve over time ... blimey.

I entered a Google-Blacklist screenwriting contest last year to promote non-stereotyped tech characters in media.* I wrote a pilot about a couple raising a family while running a makerspace. The reviewer didn't like it because it was too tech-focused and most people wouldn't get it. Then they got really hung up on the fact that my couple was mixed race, and said that it was not only wrong of me not to draw more attention to this fact, but that the whole first episode should have focused entirely on it. The review was so obtuse, and knew so little about my audience and the subject matter it was astonishing. It reminded me of an English teacher friend who did away with peer reviews, arguing that having other students who are as inexperienced as you critiquing your work will only hurt you.

*I'm fairly certain now it was either a scam or another one of those Google side-projects they fund and forget about because winners were never announced.

I'm totally onboard with UBI if it is actually needed. The problem is people PROJECTING that it will be needed. In the current world human labor is very much in demand. Maybe people won't be able to use the specific degree that they went to school for but that just means a bit of retraining and/or a bit of mindset shift. If there is a massive outflux of jobs in America, then there are many questions that need to be answered before even approaching UBI as a solution. For example, "are all countries suffering the same job losses? If not, then why not?"

Ask HN: Tamper resistant geolocated pictures
In this time of easy Photoshop for everybody, I think often about how useful it would be be able to create have digitally signed pictures with time and geolocation, so that it would be very easy to know if the picture (with its location and time) could be trusted or not.

Intuitively, I would think that it would be impossible to give this kind of guarantee with a software-only solution that ran on standard smart phones, as it would be easy enough to run the software on a development virtual machine that could be undetectable by the software, and could feed any picture and GPS data the faker wanted.

On the contrary, with a hardware solution which integrated the camera, GPS, end encryption on the same chip, registering also the focus, exposition and other data, I would expect the system to be much more difficult to tamper with.

So what I'd like to ask anybody expert in the field is:

* is there anything like this already on the market, or being worked on? Any chance to see something like this hit the consumer market anytime soon?

* how easy would it be to trick a dedicated hardware solution using fake GPS signals?

* does any cell phone on the market have any hardware encryption solution that would allow creating a difficult-to-tamper software solution?

Thx!

Human beings don't live in reality they live in their imaginations work to bring that imagination into the real world through technology. History is just that history, we never had this sort of tech so looking to history and saying it won't work is irrelevant. Basic psychology is that humans don't live in the real world but in their imaginations. There is already a subsection of society that's already so involved in gaming that they don't care about the "real" world any more, links on the edit above.
Nvidia's Tegra is key to their mobile compute efforts. There is no way they are going to license it to anybody. They would sell Apple the chip... maybe. But they would want Apple to buy into their whole stack, which Apple isn't going to want either.
The aggregators are also always showing the cheapest fares, regardless of the restrictions on those fares. More and more airlines have fares like Delta's "Basic Economy" which does not even let you pick a seat. Everyone is familiar with the long standing "non refundable" restriction on most of these fares but the newer restrictions vary from airline to airline and the aggregators don't do a good job of detailing those.

Contrast that to booking on most airline sites where they very clearly and very obviously show you the restrictions because they publish the fare alongside of the less restrictive fares as a way to up sell.
Right. Regardless of if their sentiment is justified or not generally what you see from the drivers on that sub is a sentiment of "damn the man" against uber itself.

The problem is how best to expose those and 100,000 other potential buttons to the user who has better things to do than "navigate".

An obvious solution is a search box, but most sites also have terrible search functionality, so users have learned to ignore it. For the rare gem that has useful search, dressing it up as a chatbot could get people to actually try it. Too bad it looks like a lot of devs are just dressing up their shitty search as chatbots, so users are being trained to ignore them as well.
The problem with having robots do this kind of work is that the majority don't integrate well: they don't learn English, they don't drink in pubs and they have their own schools.

I'm arguing that inequality at the moment is obscene. Here[1][2][3][4] are some sources backing up my claim.

Basically, inequality is massive and accelerating. It's hurting the lower and middle classes to the point that small business creation is slowing down a lot[5]. Seeing how a lot of people are employed in small businesses(49% of private sector workforce[6]), it's acting as a real drag on our economy, keeping wages down and making inequality even higher.

I think this is somewhat well understood in things like Sports Psychology. You don't tell a receiver to catch X number of throws per game, you just encourage them perform. Likewise, training that more accurately simulates performance is more effective than working toward some metric.

Maybe it's not so much that a human isn't to blame in the case of an algorithm classifying something incorrectly, but that an algorithm might make mistakes that a human wouldn't.

I've read a very interesting article [0] about autonomous driving recently, a discussion about the ethics and social obstacles in the way of adopting autonomous cars. The author makes the case that while algorithms might perform a task safer than humans in total but they will inevitably make mistakes. And those mistakes may well be mistakes that are trivial for a human to prevent.

Algorithms making lethal mistakes that a human professional will be extremely unlikely to make, will be the hardest part to swallow if we adopt automation in critical roles - even if the total amount of deaths can be reduced that way.

Even if they are safe across the board, statistically proving to people that autonomous machines perform correctly and aren't prone to obvious mistakes would take decades and billions of hours of operation to be able to make a statement about their safety relative to human performance - since lethal accidents due to human error are relatively rare events. So we are faced with a hen and egg problem in that regard.

I don't know where the quote is from but it represents my only hope for the future of research.

Of course, the hardcore bean-counters would not let that middle ground happen either; they are people in power who absolutely positively won't give you almost any leisure.

It's still a good idea however. And some managers would embrace it since the notion of "paying somebody for possible benefits 5-10 years in the future" is something which our current form of capitalism hates. But some of them are reasonable people and would accept a middle ground.

Another thing I was thinking about in the past is rotational work: given a team of 6 people, have 1 person always working on a research for at least a month with zero responsibility about the money-making activities. After that month -- or two, or six -- expire, return the person back to the capitalistic loop and put somebody else on the research duty. This however is rather clunky because people will have to be constantly caught up with where are the things currently in the money-making job and the research job.

Perhaps there are other ideas as well, but I am not aware of them.
>30 years ago there was no internet, no smoothy bar equipped fitness rooms, no pretty dorms and everything upscale.

How certain are you that these are the reasons school has gotten more expensive?

I'm a student at a school with a decent amount of cushy stuff and a high tuition, and I can't say it looks like that's where the money's going (or even being sunk). Housing got cushy once university policy stopped forcing us to live on campus, at which point it had to compete with surrounding options (before that we were charged through the nose for pretty tight quarters). The school-provided food options are, ... well, the university's definitely making money on those, and if they're not the company they contract out to is. I gotta say, I don't think paying for gym equipment has significantly held up salary increases on the academic side of things.

You might know better than I (and we're probably in different places), but looking around campus the things that seem to be sucking money away from paying the professors more is a) the ever-expanding number of administrative offices and b) the constant renovation/replacement/addition of buildings. I'll be the first to tell you my campus is an eyesore, but it feels more and more every year like they did that on purpose in the 70s so they wouldn't face much resistance in sinking a ton of money to replace it with a shinier one now.

I'm also not totally unwilling to believe the standard economic argument that gets thrown out all the time: with so many more people leaving school with advanced degrees, finding people to fill teaching positions is a lot easier.

Ask HN: Single node Kubernetes on a VPS?
I own a small vps which I use for private hostings, like mail, nextcloud, a blog and similar things. As of today, everything is managed by docker-compose files and some shell scripts. I'm wondering if it's worth installing K8s on the vps. I have a general interest in K8s. But, I would like to avoid setting up the vps with K8s if it may cause bigger issues or if it is worthless.

Would you recommend installing K8s and do you have references for me how I should start?
A few years ago I was working for a company which provided value added mobile services to the UK market. The biggest money maker at the time was premium SMS, however we didn't have our own SMS gateway - we just resold services of another provider (which was unbeknown to clients at the time).

Shortly after I joined the bosses decided that we were giving away too much money to the provider, so began talks for an acquisition. The provider was willing, but were asking for much more than we were offering, so the talks fell apart. As such we ended up building our own SMS gateway and switched all our traffic to that - exactly replicating their API, bugs and all, in less than a year.

As we were their main customer they ended up losing 70%+ of their revenue overnight when we switched. A couple of years later we bought them, for much less than we originally offered. Both companies at the time were private companies, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if the same happens here.
I've started buying microfiltered milk (am in the UK) because I've always had trouble with milk going off before I can use it all when buying ordinary pasteurised milk, but the microfiltered milk stays fresh plenty long enough to use it all up.

On the bottle the stuff I buy say it's good for 7 days in the fridge after opening. Experience so far bears this out, whereas normal milk manages about 4 for me.

It's entirely possible my fridge sucks, but I have checked the temperature and the milk comes out of the fridge at about 2C, so...

If the blog post seems anecdotal, there's a great, underused book, 'Measuring and Managing Performance in Organizations' by Robert Austin that covers his CMU PhD work, which came to the same conclusion as the quote attributed to Harford: "If a job is complex, multifaceted and involves subtle trade-offs, the best approach is to hire good people, pay them the going rate and tell them to do the job to the best of their ability." It doesn't hurt to make sure they don't have to worry about where to get, e.g., paper clips, lunch, or health care, so some level of administration is helpful.
Automation is going to happen anyway.

There are several ways we can deal with it.

1. We can set up a social safety net to transition displaced workers to a new trade/career.

2. Protectionism.

3. We do nothing.

4. basic income

---

Doing nothing is silly.

Basic income isn't going to pass in USA, universal healthcare haven't even pass yet.

Protectionism goes against capitalism and it doesn't help in the long run. It just extend a dying market like coals. We chose to become specialized a long time ago and not specializing is crazy.

So the most sensible thing is a safety net.

That's wrong. Inflation is more complicated than that. If it were that simple, Japan would not have had the years of sustained deflation.
