Which is why bog standard COTS OS shouldn't be used for these types of devices. They should use a proper hardened embedded OS that has some form of mandatory access control / capability isolation system.

The long and short don't use standard desktop Windows (or even standard embedded Windows), Linux or MacOS to run these devices.
Composers' identities are rarely a secret, because there are separate royalty streams for performance and composition. OK, pop fans may lean towards the assumption that their idols' songs are always deep personal confessions but there isn't some grand conspiracy to conceal the facts of authorship from the public. Most people just don't think about it very much.
Is it not likely that the secret police of the world's most powerful empire in history is leveraging companies into creating these vulnerabilities?
Ah, the tired old argument of machines will take our jobs away. This has been wrong before and will be wrong again. 70% of US workforce was engaged​ in agriculture in one point, now it's 1.5%. There was no bloody revolution.

Also some argue this time is different because we're now automating jobs which require thinking. They conveniently forget that many jobs were automated before. E.g. in WWII an army of women used to calculate artillery ranges, now it's all handled by computers. New jobs will be found just like before.
What would keep Amazon from adjusting to this or Acquiring the company if it got big enough?

My understanding is that NIT is a particular implementation of UBI.

Alternatively, you could say that--even with non-NIT UBI--since we have a progressive tax structure, the net change in taxes for people above some income level will be exactly the same net change in taxes as NIT is proposing. The money has to come from somewhere after all.

I wouldn't work on high-risk consumer credit either (I assume there aren't many coding jobs in the prison industry).

My problem with casinos is the same as your issue with high risk consumer credit. You're right: there may be exceptions.
Isn't that kind of obvious given that it is 110M years old or did you interpret this as potential dino-burger material?

LDAP with caching using SSSD is a better solution. I just implemented it to replace using a configuration management tool. I use the configuration management tool to setup the LDAP server, and LDAP for authentication. But would take the configuration management tool over your toool. Your tool is too niche.

No barely any of it is from Paypal.

Paypal was sold in 2002 for like 1.5 billion to Ebay, and Musk had like 10% of the shares.

He does however own something like 25% of Tesla. Thats about 12.5 billion.

Machines like that, which cannot shoulder the risk of applying updates to a network-connected general purpose OS designed to run third party (potentially malicious) code on a non-deterministic non-realtime system... probably should not be using such a system. Patching is risky, not patching is risky.

They should have formally validated software running on formally validated deterministic realtime hardware, running in non-networked environments (But with telemetry and remote control from networked computers if that's convenient) we just don't bother because it's cheaper and legal to get away with selling hacky nonsense.

In this case, we got lucky that the skin was fossilized enough to be durable enough to be exposed (with a lot of care I'm sure). But I wonder how much fossil data in the loose surrounding soil is lost being swept away in the standard process of getting to the bones. For example, if one could apply a 3D scanner/sensor which could pick out density/composition around the bones before they were removed from the earth, what forms would we then be able to see...

You'd be right, if all value production was in utilitarian, physical stuff. Increasingly however we're spending a smaller percentage of our income on stuff, and more on services and immaterial goods.

To produce a two ton truck, you need to use more than two tons of resource, that much is obvious. But how many resources go into the production of my copy of GTAV? Or my blue-ray of The Lord of the Rings? Or my viewing of a show on Netflix? The marginal resource usage is pretty much nil, just some electricity, paper of plastic. The resources expended in producing the work itself can be significant, but they are amortized among the many millions of copies.

Now obviously there are limits. Humans need physical stuff to survive, that's not going to change any time soon. There's a limit on the amount of actual stuff we can make. But there's no clear limit on the value of that stuff. We keep finding new ways to make little pieces of plastic or bunches of electrons in wires valuable all the time.
I have no idea why this is getting upvoted. A blog post that simply observes a bunch of self-serve kiosk machines, has a bait title, and is used on HN for an uninformative rehash of a UBI discussion that has taken place here over and over.

I'm sorry, I can't hear you, the sound of the US administrations declaring bankruptcy is too loud.
The issue with negative income taxes is that they create steep effective marginal tax rates. Suppose you set the floor at 12k, and suppose someone has an existing job at 12k. They immediately lose all incentive to work, because they could make the same amount by not working at all. Your effective marginal tax rate is 100%. There are ways to make this effect less pronounced, but those ways end up morphing a negative income tax to be closer to a basic income. If you get rid of the effect altogether, you get... A basic income.

Even if you make twice as much as the negative income tax floor, you're still facing really high marginal rates. Enough people would drop out of the market economy to make the negative income equivalent to a basic income in financial cost, but more inefficient both because low income jobs would be obliterated and because it'd be (a bit) more complicated to administer and more prone to fraud.

Compare that to a basic income. There, as a first order effect there's no reason for the person to quit the 12k job, because they're now making 24k.

It might seem silly to give someone making 500k 12k a year, but economically and fiscally it doesn't matter: they're taxed at a rate that covers their own basic income and plenty more.
The problem is that the technology stack required by modern equipment is too large to be satisfied by anything but a general-purpose OS. Good luck trying to get a mathematically proven OS.

Cont is one of the trickier monads to "get".

Cont r a is a computation that knows how to produce an "a" but, instead of returning it directly, passes it to a function that takes the "a" and produces an "r".

Compared to typical sequential execution, this gives more power to the "current" phase of the computation, because it might choose to invoke the passed a -> r function more than one time, none at all, inspect the resulting "r" and change course based on the result, etc.
> The CPGB’s loyalty to Moscow also triggered its morally darkest moments – the switches of line dictated by the Communist International (Comintern) in the 1920s and 1930s; the U-turn following the Nazi-Soviet pact in 1939, which arguably did more damage to the party than any other event in its history

The USSR signed the Nazi-Soviet pact of 1939 because England signed the Nazi-UK pact of 1938 in Munich. Molotov wanted and would have preferred a pact with the UK and the west, and had made such diplomatic offers and was rebuffed. Finally for the Soviet Union's survival Molotov signed a non-aggression pact in 1939 while kicking industrial production into overdrive at home. If the "Nazi-Soviet pact" is a "morally darkest moment", what was Neville Chamberlain's "peace in our time"?
I believe the issue is that DNAs half life is short (521 years in bone[1]) so after 110 million years, the DNA is pretty degraded.

As a young earth creationist myself, this is awesome! The explanation that it somehow got buried in the ocean so deep in mud that it escaped rot, bacterial decay, and normal ocean-floor scavenging is particularly unbelievable to me in this case. It seems far simpler an explanation that the dinosaur was buried by a massive flood that suddenly buried it under high pressure, thus causing quick fossilization. But, nevertheless, it's an impressive display of the power of quick fossilization, and I'm thrilled to know more about it.
Maybe you could try a different web browser?
Yes, that's one of the problems we're already facing, as I understand it. Too much of the money is in too few hands, and it's not being circulated back into the economy the way that it would be if that money was spread out among more individuals.

How to architecture the ranking of a feed like Quora
We are working on a forum-like project where we have to show the answers in a feed just like Quora.

The ranking should converge toward an ordering that is independent of the amount of attention an answer has gotten. This means that sometimes highly upvoted answers will rank below answers with fewer upvotes. As usual, the quality of a writer's previous answers will provide a hint to us about how a new answer should rank, but once we have enough votes on an answer, those become the most important signal for ranking. All of this will mean that new answers can now get to the top very quickly if they are the best.

Google most likely to find the enthusiast forums for the car/manufacturer, then searching the forurms. Probably there is a subreddit too for your car.
I don't think you can completely separate the issue from other gov't actions. When the NSA or other gov't agencies come knocking on the door requiring a backdoor or other system security compromises, I would argue that those actions become a broad discouragement for private industry invest in security beyond a certain point.
I have found it extremely important to stop working at the end of a big accomplishment. Doesn't matter if you still have 5 hours of time left in the day and tons of energy to keep working -- when you stop and watch tv for a bit, that nagging feeling "I should be doing work" will be met and sated with the new feeling, "hey, actually I did something pretty great today." If you just keep working it feels like nothing has changed.
There is no law of economics that says the latter two have to be supply limited, to the grotesque extent that they are.

I'll give you housing though. One of the reasons housing is expensive, though, is because it is closely tied to job opportunities.
> if encryption had a backdoor

This is the flaw in the logic. "Encryption" can't have a backdoor any more than math can have a back door.

Specific types of encryption can. But there's nothing to stop a malicious user from using a non-backdoored encryption algorithm or inventing their own.
Funny I was reading about that yesterday, here is a snippet that might help you if you do not need all memory in one process:

options = tf.GPUOptions(per_process_gpu_memory_fraction=0.5)

session = tf.Session(config=tf.ConfigProto(gpu_options=options))

That way you limit how much the GPU can use up front and then other applications can use it instead.

Of course if you need all of the memory during one phase of the computation, want to free it and then re-allocate it at a later stage you are probably out of luck.

But if your pipeline would normally allow for all tasks to run with limited memory you might get away with this strategy at the expense of some speed.

Good luck!
This is an important approach to this problem. If you attack a hypothetical future leader, everyone can picture someone that might be worse, whether or not they like the current leader. It's a good way of avoid being dismissed over partisan concerns.
So this will get users on to the next Android Framework version but if there are security bugs in vendor implementation or underlying firmware it'll still continue to be problematic for users. But it will solve the PR problem for Google if OEMs and Carriers update the framework version quick enough - the question raised mostly by tech pundits - when am I going to get the next update to Android - will have a satisfactory answer.

Not to say this isn't a huge step forward from status quo - if vendors contribute features and fixes to MediaServer and everybody uses the same implementation it will be much easier to update it for all vendors.

What still sucks is this is not going to be Google that will update the Android framework - it's still OEMs and the carriers.
It's interesting because some cities publicly documented their switch to Linux, then came back to MS things (for some reasons). But in the end having open source, untied software is of political importance if you want to avoid being tied.
Was anything found that was not already well-known?

The article states:

"Wrap Up

... we’ve scraped hundreds of thousands of articles, created text classifiers... and gotten insights from the results. The only way to perform an analysis like this is using machine learning and natural language processing, since there’s no way we can get a person to read through and interpret 270,000 articles."

I would have to say

- there's always sampling, and

- ask or read the reports of an expert, since they live in their respective news spaces.

What do you mean by, "actively being used" though? The rich tend to want a return on their money, "invested" seems like a type of use, even if it is passive. Crazy hypothetically, if it reduced the money available for investment, it might raise the interest rate on loans, reducing the rate of lending, so reducing the total money supply.
Ah, I may have misinterpreted the intent. That helps, thanks
The problem with taking money from the rich and giving it to the poor is that you undermine riches' motivation. If you limit the prize, then you also limit amount of effort that one is willing to make to get it.

Therefore, after UBI is introduced on mass scale we might see a slow but steady decline in economic activity: fewer new companies started, fewer investments made, riches focusing on tax evasion and moving their business abroad instead of just running and developing it, resulting in recession.

Of course you can go with nuclear option and forfeit all their properties at once, in the name of social justice (does that ring a bell?) but you can only do it once, and eventually will run out of the money seized this way.
