Yeah, it is just the way thing are.

And till now, you had no other option.

But it looks like things are changing with regards to finance.

Because now, it is going to be much more difficult for the government to regulate your financial activities.

The "way things are" is changing, and changing for the better.

Don't like it? Then the government can send in its men with guns and attempt to stop it.

The technology is getting better and better, though. So it will soon become extremely difficult for those men with guns to do anything at all with your untraceable, untraceable, and unstoppable financial activities.

May the best group win. The government will need all the luck it can get.

Does that actually happen in the US every day? The hospital is keeping a kid alive, they decide it's better to kill the kid, so they kill the kid? Am I misreading you or is that what you're saying happens?

It's been my experience (anecdotal as a person in a family of 8 MD's including pediatricians) that the US actually keeps people alive way past the point where it's appropriate to do so - family has the right to force emergency life-saving procedures and hospice-type end-of-life care isn't as common.

Actually, reading the blogs, that's what the parents are trying to do - send the kid to the US in an attempt to save his life, and the UK says that's cruel and he should be allowed to die.

Have I totally misread this?

I'm a math educator. Although of course I want to see more women in STEM, I've never been directly involved in the appropriate outreach. With that lack of qualification firmly established, I hope I may say that this is a wonderful thing.

Anything that successfully shows STEM can be a "girlish" activity (literally in the sense of something girls do) is to be applauded; and hopefully this effort, in a pre-existing mentorship structure, will have a knock-on effect wherein older mentors (I don't know what they're called in the Girl Scouts) can serve as direct examples (of women in STEM) and as positive role models.

Thanks for all the answers. From what I infer, the one thing that's consistent is to look for year on year revenue growth. A company that achieves that will have a healthy exit. A company that doesn't will be forced to a lackluster IPO or sold off for the minimum value or will shut shop.
In the US, people from places that not even a scholar with a geography major can find on a map are afraid of being attacked by people that don't even know their town exists, and even if they did, I highly doubt they even bothered to go all the way there to just to harm an average rural guy that nobody knows. It's nonsense.
The same way non tech folks are terrible at hiring programmers is the same way tech folks are bad at hiring sales & marketing folks. Many people who claim to be good at marketing at terrible, worse you might end up with someone tarnishing your image by spamming your product or even getting your site blacklisted by Google due to bad SEO.

So do tell, how can we evaluate and vet that someone is good at sales & marketing?

I gave one example of many of the ways in which we absolutely do restrict the rights of the entire population to engage in voluntary interactions to preempt crime. We limit the types of contracts that everyone can engage in, to prevent a subset of them that would be used abusively. As another example, we place restrictions on freedom of assembly -- voluntary interactions of groups of people -- based upon location and time of day because of the potential to create a disturbance, not the fact of having done so. And so on.

That's fine, and it is of course how many projects use the GPL in most cases in practice -- but as it reads in the readme, it sounds like the GPL doesn't [allow] someone to fork the project, port it to say, OS X, or arm - and sell the changed fork to a to a customer without giving the changes back upstream. The porter would have to offer sources to the customer, and the customer would be free to upstream the sources - but from the GPL, there's no legal compulsion to do so.

Anyway, I guess I would have reworded it somewhat, to make it more obvious that the source is under GPL, but that the project welcomes and encourages upstreaming changes. This opposed to the code being under a modified GPL.

This is not really true. Once a company exceeds a certain threshold of non-accredited owners, it automatically becomes a public company, and faces the same disclosure and controls requirements as a company that became public via IPO. That is why all competently written private stock offerings sell stock with heavy transfer restrictions, so that shareholders can't force management to take the company public.

This is an aside, but of the 26 currently active bitcoin mining pools, you'd only need to compromise the top 4 to have >50% mining power. Perhaps a little social engineering could bring that down to 3.

I wonder how difficult that would actually be.
Is there any advantage of using ICOs as as glorified Patreon or Kickstarter compared to just taking orders in ETH? Why are you issuing a token to begin with?
I'm uncertain of how much value the SEC provides. Problems they fail to solve:

* High brokerage fees

* Poor-outcome annuities

* Penny stock trading

* Risky options trading

Tokens are fraught with fraud, but the impetus for research is upon the individual. I fear that regulating this will stifle innovation with little benefit to end-consumers in terms of safety, because people will still get swindled out of their money by other legalized means.
Well, if you only need to maintain transactions within your own organization and there is full trust, why not just use a simple SQL database to record transactions instead of a much more expensive and complex blockchain? If there are multiple parties, what's to stop one of the nodes from, say, buying 1000 GPU instances on EC2 and massively increasing their hashing power. Even if you have some type of network control settings that only allow certain nodes access to the network, the proof of work could be distributed and you could just proxy the answer back to the machine that has access to the network.

i think 'smarter' was probably not the best use of words. equally smart and much more creative about getting the job done. original comment was too snarky as well, didn't really mean to hate on coal miners. it really is a false equivalence though.

starting from nothing it took about 6 months practice and general skill building to where i could work on projects and not screw them up for everyone. one nice thing about this world is that if you aren't so good, you can still pull in minimum wage if you work hard. once you get the hang of things you can build up a client base and start charging more. and if you have any kind of flair for design you can start selling bespoke pieces instead of just being a pair of hands.

after about $60/hr it gets a lot tougher. you don't really qualify for the really high-end work (i.e stainless pharmaceutical). and no insurance.

I went back to tech for .. 4 years because of the pay difference and because of insurance for me and my wife, but I'm back in the shop now because..i think my software mindset is pretty radically different than the way things are done now.

trade work is a constant challenge, and you can see your skills grow over time. faster, cleaner, more reliable, more clever. if you have a little* financial flexility and love hard work, i strongly recommend it as a second career. if i'm lucky in a software shop i get to solve a problem a day, in the metal shop i solve tens or hundreds.

[oh, sorry, should make this clear - if you start in welding/machining you can certainly make quite a decent living, have benfits, etc - i'm just talking about coming in later in life being self taught and trying to carve out a little work here and there]
Are there any libraries out there that implement some/most of these best practices and approaches to NLP? From what I've seen, the existing ones (Stanford NLP, OpenNLP) are getting somewhat dated. Many non-PhD people (including me) would find such a library incredibly useful.
Hah, I used to run into a lot of those GUI issues, and hadn't made the connection until now.
And what more features do I get? Everything I do today on a computer I could do in 1995.
Exactly. A blockchain is supposed to provide a set of guarantees so the nodes don't have to trust each other. If there is already trust, why bother with a blockchain in the first place? If there isn't trust, then there's definitely a possibility that one of the untrusted parties could try and attack or disrupt and the shared ledger.

While Convoy Driver app has slightly better reviews than Uber Freight in both app stores (iOS 4.5 stars vs 4.0 stars, Android 4.1 stars vs 3.4 stars), both Uber Freight and Cargo Driver each have 10,000-50,000 installs in the Android Store and Uber Freight has ~2.6x the number of Android and iOS reviews.

The number of installs and reviews for both is especially remarkable because Uber Freight has only been available for about a month, while Convoy Driver has been available for about 1.5 years now.

Jesse from CoinList & Protocol Labs here -- completely agree that following securities regulation is an especially great idea. Unfortunately doing that correctly can be really challenging. Despite several misleading doom-and-gloom articles written today (http://fortune.com/2017/07/25/sec-says-digital-tokens-are-se...) the SEC has not said that all tokens are securities. Rather, application tokens are a promising new technology that enable all kinds of use-cases, each one unique from the next, and each having a unique 'regulation profile'. It would be very short-sighted to apply broad sweeping legislation and with this ruling, it's clear that the SEC also feels the same.

Just like mifeng mentioned, it really is a facts and circumstances determination per token. Given we had to build all of the token sale scaffolding (legal, tech, etc.) for Filecoin, it made sense to open this up to other technologists as well. Our hope with CoinList is that creators can focus on building awesome tech and expanding the valuable uses for application tokens while reducing the amount of time and resource they need to spend making sure they stay within the parameters of the law.
Filecoin may be limited to accredited investors for this particular sale, but that's not to say other tokens that use the platform in the future would be required to do the same. Ultimately the decision is up to the creators, but they should be very well educated on the implications of what those choices could mean.
Facebook is capable of monetizing current ML capabilities to do things like constantly tune individual news feeds so that its profit is maximized. Certainly counterproductive to some degree for modern society, but it is profitable. Straightforward goal. straightforward outcome.

Elon's claimed that Tesla will have level 5 autonomous vehicles in 2 years. Yeah, in your dreams Elon, that's a massive cognitive stack you can't fit in the vehicle, one we've never built out to such a degree, and your car's autonomy level is going to be a function of its bandwidth to the cloud anyway.
The mean part of me wonders if Elon plans on covering this wild assertion with 'Well, we can't now. Regulations and stuff' - if he's just worried about putting a weapon on a solar powered drone that patrols some area and shoots baddies, yeah me too. But that's just human stupidity, it ain't AI, it ain't intelligent, it's just a dumb program with effectors. All ML really is these days is real big boundary relaxation systems, calculating the massive number of coefficients we need to make the equations work out the way we want. But come on, it's stupider than a rock. It's an equation solver and its brittle as hell. As a tool I love what we can now accomplish, but there's a long road from here to Hal. It's not bloody magic, it's just math.
>The first thing people do with tech is to use it to create or enhance weapons.

That's only true if you're cherry picking. Plenty of tech doesn't even apply to the defense industry.

Moreover, I'd posit thay any limitation placed on tech to limit danger will almost certainly limit potential benefit as well.

Ignorance is never the solution.
The SEC has been dipping into crypto regulation since at least 2013 when they shut down BTCT for running an exchange that traded shares in various bitcoin mining companies. There are people there who have been working in the field for years now and understand it quite well.
One interesting thing that Uber/Lyft/similar did in terms of markets was make it much simpler for people to track and view the reputation of a particular driver - which shapes behavior.

I wonder if something like Convoy would do similar -> rapidly highlight the unreliable truck drivers. Allow a good truck driver to carry their reputation from manufacturer to manufacturer, etc.

This is so cool. I'm an analyst at a tech company, I wish we had more structure used in our day to day analytical work.
