I don't understand your distinction "purely for enabling immorality" versus "fraud or something". If I enable, or otherwise assist with a crime, that is a crime. Crime is an immoral act distinguished by government policing.

any immoral act, or being an accessory of one, is a crime just the same as fraud as soon as you decide to police it.
Downvoted because Penrose does not actually commit this fallacy, therefore naming it after him is something of a cheap shot, an excuse to not actually engage with his ideas.

This is a pretty cool solution for de-centralized web.
This is being complicated by the out-of-touch rules on what constitutes "live TV" - I occasionally watch news from my home country through a VPN, and sports events that are also might be broadcast live to at least one country somewhere. Despite neither having anything to do with live broadcasting in the UK, I still have to pay TV license.
I guess it depends how you use it. I keep it in my car as a replacement for fast food when I'm short on time and I'm healthier overall
Unfortunately, that ship has sailed. The industry had years to decide on a standard for this, but never even got to the point where one company would standardize on a single charger for its whole product line for more than about three years: most companies would do a full business line with compatible chargers, but consumer laptops had something different, and when they did a big hardware refresh, they'd change up the power connectors too.
FWIW, HiDPI support does not work on Linux either. All icons, color palette, custom cursors are about half the size they should be on my 4k monitor.

Scrolling is pretty choppy and it doesn't support smooth/inertial scrolling.

So 3/5 of his listed issues exist on the Linux version.
you'd think devs would realize how played out this line is. still waiting.
> I don't know of any mechanism other than voting for gleaning the popular will.

Sortition (choosing public officials randomly) is one possibility.
Ok, so what are those reasons exactly?

I actually don't believe your analogy holds. My mom uses Dropbox but she would never use rsync. But my mom can drive to Target or open her Amazon app and buy Ensure just as easily as she can order Soylent.

I do think Soylent is just rebranded Ensure/Slimfast and there's nothing wrong with that. For the most part, Ensure targets baby boomers, Slimfast targets gen-xers or people who want to lose weight, and Soylent targets millenials/professionals. Again, nothing wrong with it (so long as you don't act like Soylent is some revolutionary/brave-new-world product).
> the cafe setting very helpful for avoiding the obvious distractions like Wikipedia holes,

Don't forget a cafe (or anywhere) is also "not home" in that -- over time -- you are conditioning yourself that a cafe is a place of work whilst your home is not. This helps one be more productive in both environs.
Many cryptocurrencies have found ways to economically incentive "full nodes" without being subject to sybil attacks (one actor pretending to be multiple computers). They do this by requiring the node to have a balance of that currency, and lets them earn as miners (making it prohibitively expensive to sybil). Similar to proof of stake but different.

This makes their networks more secure quicker as well as turning nodes into investments in themselves. The amount of that currency you can earn in a year is the yield. This promotes price appreciation on the markets, and for those fearing mass dumps and market corrections it is prudent to realize that node operators all have different time horizons, just like any dividend investor in stocks.

This is all complementary to whatever else you would like to use those networks for.

With yields being around 8% annually, there is plenty of room for other market participants to discover these networks and accept lower yields.

Key words to look for are Supernodes, harvesting, masternodes, staking

When any network with those things become valuable and liquid enough then ICOs can happen with those currencies being the funding mechanism for the next leg up.

Each of these phenomenons have to be evaluated individually, for their interesting and their most dubious aspects. Yes many ICOs are organizations with no more backing than the blue skies of Kansas, but they don't have to be dubios. It helps to see the ecosystem as a whole, and this ecosystem is a new evolution of capital formation.

It'll be interesting to see if they can get their first generation of airliners off the ground and operating profitably quickly enough to embrace the coming wave of next generation composite aircraft. The C919 looks to be almost entirely traditional aluminum construction but the future of transport aircraft is looking to be increasingly based on carbon composites. The problem is that the industrial processes and supply chains for aluminum vs composite aircraft are extremely dissimilar. China however may have an edge here in the future as composites are still very labor intensive to construct.
This type of reaction is one of the reasons why everyone that cares about good UI/UX is on either OS X or Windows.
There is a massive amount of info supporting ketogenic diets and fasting. I'd recommend you look into the Keto Talk and Fasting Talk podcasts and read Jimmy Moore's books: Keto Clarity and the Complete Guide to Fasting. Also, congrats on your progress and keep it up! I dropped over 60 pounds (started at 215 lbs, now at 152 and very lean) doing what you're doing.

But ceejayoz's advice is good advice... always do your own research!
Skimming the ingredients and descriptions for those, they seem to be intended as protein powder mixes for bodybuilders, not general meal replacements.
I cant speak for design community as a whole, but I do design a fair amount of things including UI. I think many speak of simplicity since it is pretty much rule number one because its tied to use. Anything not needed is waste or simple cosmetics.

What you can do to innovate is often very limited for a few reasons. You would be amazed how many people dont know what a sandwich menu is, if you vary from the "standard" you lose tons of people right off the bat. Also clients are very scared to try anything new simply because they tend to have a "not broke, dont fix it" mentality.

I do a lot of training type interfaces for large companies and I literally try to compress everything down to a 1 button solution. You put 2 buttons marked start and stop and someone will be befuddled right off the bat. Sounds like exaggeration but its not, If anyone has to click a menu to find something you will lose people because they will wonder where something is at and not click. I try to have everything on screen in an "order" and as little as possible. Anything "extra" and people get distracted etc.

Making UI at this point is like making hammers, try to innovate/design a new hammer.

I agree with much of your statement because I see lots of room for improvement, so wasnt trying to come off argumentative. I simply find its usually not just the designer but also who you are designing for that is the limitation.
It depends on what you mean by "relationship"

Consider that we know "where" things happen, but it doesn't follow we know "how" things happen.

It is a bit like opening up a computer and taking a thermometer and measuring the heat kicked off by various parts.

Now I can tell you that when I run MatLab, the part called "CPU" gets hot. And when I run games the part called "GPU" gets hot. So clearly the CPU is the Matlab part of the computer and the GPU is the games part of the computer.

What we need is a theory of software before we can make progress, and that is what we lack.
I am reminded of a quote from The Princess Bride: "...you cannot track it, not with a thousand bloodhounds, and you cannot break it, not with a thousand swords." And that just infuriates the prince, to the point where he just has to go destroy something beautiful, out of spite.

People put locks on their homes to keep criminals out. It does not matter if the government can break those locks, until the government itself begins to act like a criminal. At that point, it becomes necessary to build locks that even a government cannot break.

The Snowden alarum showed us all that a portion of the US government has become functionally indistinguishable from an organized crime ring. So, sorry Comey, but perhaps the FBI should focus for a while on investigating and burning out the criminal corruption within its own umbrella organization before we talk about maybe allowing it the power to intrude upon our personal lives at will, in the name of the greater good.

By the house metaphor, law enforcement is more like vampire legends. The vampire has the strength to batter down any door, but if it crosses the threshold without first being invited inside, it loses its power. Except the cop-vampire can also be invited in by a magistrate who issues a warrant.

And perhaps even that is too lenient. Maybe our warrants should be issued by a grand jury. Allowing them to be issued by a sole judge, or panel of judges, seems an invitation to erect secret, rubber-stamp courts like those used for FISA warrants. Maybe your secret keys should be protected by an M-of-N consensus algorithm using about 30 cryptographically-random peers. The government then has to convince a bunch of presumably reasonable strangers that it should be allowed access to your keys. Should be no problem if you're a dangerous criminal, but impossible if the state just wants to sniff around in your dirty drawers.

Web Performance in a Nutshell: HTTP/2, CDNs and Browser Caching
Remember cell phones before Mini USB took over/was mandated by the EU? At many events there used to be booths that would make money by having every charger cable available to charge your phone.

It's great to have a unified connector for everything. My USB-C NexusX cable can charge my friends Macbook.

And eventually, hopefully, in a few years time, it will also mean that wherever you go for a presentation, a USB-C option will be available. There is a really good chance that this will eliminate a lot of duplicate cables and dongles.
Nectar seems to be super polarizing. I think it's the best one personally and drink it about every day, roughly 3x more than original + coffiest combined.

Long story short, we're still working on making the API available to our members. Plans changed along the way and we ended up releasing our mobile business bank account first, but our long term goal of offering a more open platform remains.

It's tough to do anything innovative within the US banking system due to regulations, partner challenges, risk, and other factors, but we're going to keep working at it.
Kolab, a new and complete solution for fun and efficient real-time collaboration
I agree in terms of pure utility that that makes a lot of sense. You basically spec it out via setting up types.

But in the context on SICP I'm not sure that would be ideal. As that book is about teaching 101 programming by introducing you to the idea of black box abstraction and building a program through layers of abstraction.

Starting with types would be an entirely different approach to go at it.

So personally, in my ideal university, I'd prefer to learn Scheme/LISP as the 101 course introduction to programming and learn a Haskell-esque language the following term and thereafter.

Although that being said, I used a practical language as my introduction to programming (Ruby) before diving into SICP - which really taught me programming. So maybe it's worth going with practical first, then diving into the theoretical underpinning so you fully appreciate and grasp what you are doing.

Although the article mentions that many parts were bought under contracts from foreign companies (making "US technology" appear in the title), I wonder how many domestic parts were built using stolen trade secrets and intellectual property.
> What's wrong with those microwavable stuff?

I'm guessing you and many other commenters haven't hit the age where heart disease, high blood pressure, and pre-diabetes start raising their ugly heads. All of those conditions are depressingly common in the Western world and require medication with various side effects to treat. Each one of those microwaveable meals, though tasty and convenient, takes you one step closer to a rather unpleasant conversation with your doctor.

Given this, it should hardly be surprising that there's a market for a convenient meal replacement that is, if not actually healthy, then at least health-neutral.

("Just prepare your own healthy means and exercise more!" you say? Easier said than done. Just because you are able to do it doesn't mean everybody is in a situation where they can do the same.)
GitLab is a good example of excellent software. It has a proper business model and has built a great community.

Most Linux desktop applications sadly have no good business model. If you have a business model you can pay developers, designers, support, writers, etc.
It's not very well written - this starts out as a children's story but rapidly transitions into 'conveyance' and 'authentication'.

Simply: you can authenticate by testing one binary value many times (the cave), but you can shorten the handshake process by adding multiple secrets or multiple possibilities for each secret-test. The goal is to create a result which is highly improbable without secret knowledge, and you can trade off different values (number of secrets, number of handshakes, size of secrets) to achieve that.

I confess I don't understand the last line of that section about 'conveyance'. The process appears robustly ZKP even without successive attempts.
I was extremely fortunate to be able to get a house with a 'lab' over the garage. The previous owners had built it as a sort of 'party' room with a wet bar and a small toilet. Makes an excellent 'home' office.

Perhaps they have a very good understanding of accounting and how easy it is for a company to artificially inflate overseas profits. Note the legal troubles about Ireland. If companies could bring overseas profits home tax-free, we'd miraculously have no domestic profit the next year.

That's kind of the modus operandi of physics, I suppose. Max Planck started from a specific conclusion, that the spectrum of the Sun is limited at high frequencies in ways that Maxwell's theory clearly is not, and then searched for some way to explain the difference.

Banks here in the UK use your chip & pin based card as a second factor (or rather, as the two factors - the chip you have, the pin you know) - they give you a little card reader that can use the card and pin to provide a 2FA token for logging in or sign requests to send money.

It's a much better system. Of course, some banks don't use it to it's full potential - many use it only for signing money transfers, but it's still pretty good. The readers are also cheap and standardised, so you can use any one of them for any account, which is useful.
Rob says in the post that they will be using the funding for faster expansion:

I am not the only one who has this interpretation of him. I certainly arrived upon it independently but so did many (more credible) giants in the field.

As far as I can tell, he doesn't have an argument that consciousness stems from QM beyond the rather elusive nature of both.

This is a really weird myth that has started spreading lately. That somehow Soylent was just another meal replacement in a long line of meal replacements.

No, none of the products you mentioned is anywhere near as nutritionally balanced as soylent. And those that are, clearly came after
> Becoming a state would put enough regulation and oversight in place to make those problems go away, or at least put their corruption on the same level as a normal US state.

Becoming a state wouldn't fix the combined impact of NAFTA + the Jones Act, which alone is enough to wipe out the economy[0]. Corruption may be a cherry on top, but eliminating that doesn't solve the problem that there is simply no way they can export anything at a competitive rate, and that they also can't import things they need at reasonable prices either.

And becoming a state is in Puerto Rico's best interests, but it doesn't fix this problem either. Hawaii is suffering as well from the Jones Act - the difference is that Hawaii's economy was slightly less dependent on NAFTA-affected trade, and over 20% of Hawaii's economy comes from the military and national defense. So Puerto Rico is hit harder, but not for reasons that would be solved by statehood.

[0] NAFTA itself would not have been as much of a problem for Puerto Rico if it weren't for the Jones Act, so it's specifically the combination of both that's relevant.

Our system, at times, doesn't let us vote to impede human rights. Gay marriage is now the law of the land, because the Supreme Court deemed there to be a right to it despite legislative efforts. The right to a fair trial isn't always popular, but we don't get to vote on it. The right of the KKK to march and speak isn't popular, but we don't get to vote on it.

Same with immigration - courts have blocked plenty of enforcement measures and violations of human rights like long-term detention of children. There's a reason "majority rules" isn't the only way we do things in the US and most other democracies.
Maybe I'm not understanding your point... you only pay if you want to use it in a closed source capacity. The alternative (just a vanilla copy-left license) would mean it's simply impossible to use in a closed source project at all.

So if all you do is write open source software, there is no difference for you. And if you write closed source software (or some project/client suddenly requires it of your for some reason) then you have something you can do.

It seems like a win-win?

These stories are incredibly incendiary, fueled by Murdoch's News UK Group. Whilst I think you would be an idiot to run unknown software on your home network (even if it means you get free TV) there have been no prosecutions against individual users yet.

Sky's sport and movie subscriber base are obviously taking a hit from people moving to pirated content. That is why you are seeing hyperbolic stories about 10 years in prison for watching football on a Kodi box.

Here's something else that should shake US and UK highly skilled workers. Our time will soon come as well.

In China, they are racing to match and surpass western standards. I would say, they have already matched in some cases. But unlike the west where companies export out to save costs. Companies in China do everything in-house.

There will be a time where these 6 figure jobs that some HN users have, will go down by 50%. Why? Better coders outside of the US, UK, EUR, etc.

Of course, there will be a portion saying that we must keep our skills up to date. But not everyone can do heavy math, statistics, and ML. Just think of the developers who work on drupal, wordpress, javascript. What percentage do you think they can develop AI systems on tensorflow and neural nets?

A major shift is coming. As developers, we need to prepare.

But that's not how you should measure it. You goal is not to minimize MSE. Your goal is to rank movies in a way that users like.

So the test would be to randomly split users into test and control, show ranking based on Bayesian averaging to control, show ranking based on James-Stein or some other method to test, measure some metric of user happiness (a different hard problem, click rate on top titles?), then do the comparison.
