I am unable to create a public account. I get a spinning wheel when I input a public name, and it doesn't do anything else. The create button is disabled until (seemingly) I get a response back telling me my chosen name is okay or not.

Unfortunately, their Web site didn't seem to have any clear way to register an account.

Another point is that searching for contacts only works if you type in their last name. If you try searching for a contact by first name, then they won't show up.
you get cash at closing from what the seller has paid your Redfin agent. This is either applied to your closing costs or given back to you as a check. So, the argument over who is paying is off topic when the fact is, if you buy with redfin, you'll likely save a couple thousand dollars.
While I agree with you, do you have an alternative list?
The problem is the food flavouring which has been extensively tested... as food flavouring and not when vaporized and inhaled (and there's the whole thing about to which temperature it's heated).

Personally I believe (and afaik current science supports that) vaping to be far safer, but it's probably not safe and there are a lot of unknowns left.

I actually expect the inconsistencies to increase. The legalization (restricted to cannabis) is being introduced as two separate law proposals, for medicinal and recreational uses, so you might end up with just the former, and all it implies in terms of regulation.
There is value in writing clean, impeccably-designed, beautifully architected, const-correct, lint-free software. Just not much business value in it. I have unreleased hobby projects sitting on my hard drive at home that are works of art (if I must say so myself!), and were great learning experiences, but are commercially pretty much valueless. That's OK.

You need to have a goal and adapt your software writing to that goal. If your goal is to make the next Flappy Bird and pull in $100K revenue per day, you probably don't want to be spending your time figuring out why "the time between ticks increased to 20-30 ms and then it dropped again." Your time would be better spent slapping together version 0.01 of about 40 games and shipping them, hoping one of them takes off.

Needing to optimize and rearchitect something is a problem you have after you get U$ER$.
I always wrap absurdly-long submarine sandwiches in a tarp. Even in the dry season in Cali.
Can you be more specific? China is a big place and there's a lot happening there! One non-profit in China for instance has kindly translated the entirety of part 1 into Chinese and provided a discussion group for Chinese students.
I agree with this article: all the fear about AGI taking over the species seems the hide the far more dangerous likelihood of efficient but non-general AI ending up in the hands of intelligences with a proven history of oppressing humans: i.e. other humans.

Besides which AGI, when it comes, is just as likely be a breakthrough in some random's shed rather than from a billion dollar research team's efforts to create something which can play computer games well. Not a lot Musk or anyone else can do to guard against that, except perhaps help create a world that doesn't need 'fixing' when such an AGI emerges.
This is what HN readers and Paul Graham enthusiasts might call a reverse submarine or an insider submarine.

A traditional submarine is when a PR firm supplies journalists with stories that are true, but just happens to favor their clients.

It tries to give biased information a patina of unbiased objectivity (to the extent that the newspaper is considered to be less biased than a press release).

This reverse submarine -- a critique of Amazon published by Jeff Bezos' paper --
tries to give what appears to be a biased news source a patina of unbiased objectivity by running what appears to be a piece that's critical of the thing it's thought to be biased toward.

Bezos can now say, "Hey, look at this Post piece that's critical of Amazon. Clearly, I'm not pulling the strings or censoring articles that make my company look bad."

But bear in mind that we don't know what's under the surface. We know what articles critical of Amazon he has let through, but we don't know what articles critical of Amazon he hasn't let through.
Ah, the last device to allow me to listen to terrestrial radio and MP3s without using data or my limited phone battery is now gone.

I know, who still does that? Well, actually many of us in the NYC area who listen to NPR in the morning... because the data drops out and our phone batteries are dead from the frantic early morning emails we all do.

Sure, we all love our spotify downloads and our podcasts, but the MP3s I've collected, and the simple OTA radio just worked, in many places were data didn't.

And I'm even sadder that they never went to digital or "HD" radio. Sometimes we think we are so clever with our streaming stuff, when we are literally suffering with a crummmy stream when we could just get it free OTA. Compressed, staticky, and annoying, sure, but free!

So RIP, my iPod friends. From hard drives to SSD, you faithfully carried books and music for me across the world and at every hour of the day, something I can't say of my phones, and you did it well.
What about all the criminals that can no longer make money selling on the black market? Killing unregulated production allows for cleaner, safer substances to be created with known strength and purity.

After decades of prohibition, we can conclude the "War On Drugs" is a lost cause and people will always seek out drugs. If people are going to take drugs regardless, let's make sure they're clean and the profits of sale don't fund criminal gangs.
I just have to ask, how do you know that the two incidents are related? The airbags may have deployed when she hit that pothole regardless of the rear-ender. Especially considering that a rear-ender would not trigger an airbag deployment, because that force is in the opposite direction of what an airbag is designed to protect you from.
The reason for the SEC to prevent fraud, Ponzi-schemes and related shenanigans before they implode isn't to protect the individual fools and their money - courts could prosecute that stuff after the fact. Rather, regulation happens because the collapse of this kind of scheme tends to have collateral damage impacting people beyond those who chose to use such investments - the employees of companies that go bankrupt, the homeowners who first pay high prices for home and then can't pay their mortgages when the economy tanks, etc don't have any choice their implicit participation in any "economic free-fire zones".
In regards to (1), I don't get it. Just because the value changes doesn't mean it's not fixed. A trivial example is 100 = XA + YB + ZC. Fixed, yet weights for each value can change. And with (2), what's the value then?
What are some good OpenStack providers? and are there any that can 11 nines durability?
Calling it an "Atari problem" sounds quite disparaging and misses the point. It's like calling a convolutional network doing the ImageNet task a "Doggy-detection" problem. That may be the original development problem, but the final product still helps detect cancer in CT scan images... Same goes for advances in reinforcement learning made on atari games.
Maybe go with a two column layout and make the examples collapsed by default. Put an expansion toggle button in the header of the nav column, as well as the option for individual expansion.

I hear you... commoditization of connected hardware makes this future a real possibility, and yet it hasn't gained consumer traction and it does add real cost to the products. $3-5 of hardware cost + thousands of hours of software adds $30+ of cost to the consumer on most devices. Thats a lot

When that changes I'm still not sure it'll happen. There needs to be a consumer demand and today there isn't.
Perhaps the AR-18 would fit, the IRA were big fans
Here's another fact about the Quake re-write: It was done AFTER the hugely successful product was shipped, not before.
Actually the SEC just makes sure things are fair. Investors, analysts, CEOs, etc... can pretty much say what they want. SEC rules are specific and Floyd hasn't broken any.
it sounds like people who don't work with machine learning asked that question. People who do work with machine learning should see the difference. Besides what is mentioned in the blog post, OpenAI is a research effort for moving start of the art, while fast.ai is for teaching students in a non math heavy way.
We the people might not be created equal, but a part of us are aware that in some regards we're disadvantaged and we fight to overcome that disadvantage.

So I don't understand your point.
We don't make specific time predictions because it's just not possible. But we can make relative predictions. However long it takes to get to AGI, when we're (say) half way there, the amount of societal upheaval will be enormous.

If we can't navigate that successfully, we'll never get to see AGI...
Agreed - even though it's a bit of a learning curve, static typing helped me make more sense of what I was doing - I had to learn it with Swift and I really like (and think it's good for beginners) that there's this layer of 'guidance' integral to the language.
Ok, so I consider myself an above-average programmer, capable of building a standard database driven web applications using the latest du-jour techniques.

I suck at Math - I mean I _really_ suck at Math. I can visualize algorithms and data structures and have no problem whipping up programs. I have written a lot of code in my lifetime and have helmed a lot of successful projects as my capacity as lead programmer or architect.

But I will never be a programmer that writes code that uses Math, like for games, simulation, 3d graphics, operating systems, drivers, autopilots, etc...

So, can a Math idiot like me get into A.I. by going to your site?
With attitudes like this, why wouldn't the existing owners feel their existing way of life is being threatened? Not everyone loves living in a high-density environment, and some people would tend to want their community and home to have the same properties that made it attractive to them in the first place. When you suddenly get an influx of new population that wants to change the character of a community and starts entertaining schemes of forcible land redistribution, how could one not assume that the locals are going to feel like they're being somewhat invaded?

I can see the grievances of both sides on this, but I honestly wish there was more focus on spreading out these 'tech hub' communities to places beyond just the Bay area. There's a certain absurdity to the idea that the tech industry of all industries has this need to clump everyone together into a hyper-concentrated beehive of activity that irrevocably alters the host communities upon which it descends.

True, but it doesn't appear to be readily enforced. One of the lawsuits involving the Fyre Festival revolves around sponsored social media posts that failed to disclose that sponsorship.[1] Certainly, someone could come and sue Mayweather, but not before he dumps the pump.

I recommend that you buy a used copy of https://www.amazon.com/How-Buy-Stocks-Louis-Engel/dp/0316353... and read it to understand what stocks are, why they have value, what different kinds of stock are, and why they are created.

But the long and short of it is that stock is part ownership of a company. Companies are not zero sum, they create wealth through a process that Paul Graham explains in http://www.paulgraham.com/wealth.html. The trading of stock itself is a zero sum game - each time it happens someone is trading ownership worth a certain amount for the same value in money. But owning stock goes up and down with the prospects for the company.

>I think Google is failing here really. They should be able to find the exact product. I should be able to click on an image, and select "Find stores in my area selling this product

Google already does that. At least in my area. Type in a search. Click "Shopping" and it shows stores nearby that could have the item. It's not 100% perfect because it'll be decades before retailers allow Google to monitor their inventory in real-time, but it at least gives me leads, especially when I'm in an unfamiliar city.

You're correct in identifying that credentials and networking opportunities are the real value but 4 years of your life is a heavy commitment. Only you can decide if it's worth it.

I would say go for it but make sure you leverage your time well.

That means, attend as many hackathons/programming competitions as you can. Get involved with some club on campus related to what you're interested in (aerospace club?). Try to increase your network of friends.

I'm half way through a CS program and a lot of people get so caught up in the course work that they have no time left for anything else. It's hard to make time for other things while in school but most people don't even try.

Anecdotal Experience:
There was a short break in the middle of the semester, when everyone was chilling or studying for midterms, I was attending a hackathon which later got me an interview for an internship. I failed the interview and didn't get the internship. However, when everyone was studying for their final exams, I was finishing up my application for Google Summer of Code and did get accepted into that.

Neither of those things would have happened to me if I wasn't in school and if I didn't pursue them myself.

Also, in both cases, it helped that I had previous work/projects that I could build on. I didn't attend the hackathon with the intention of landing an interview and I never imagined that another experience I just did for fun would one day help me get into GSoC.

So, if you start a degree program and you already have some past experience/interesting projects, you're at a pretty significant advantage.
This is OT but another peeve of mine since Bezo's bought the WP. The iOS app blocks articles. I grew up reading it and have even subscribed digitally since being in Boston. I have a login for the site, etc.

But the iOS app is blocking. Grrrrr.

Yes.

B2 is awesome for when you have a local backup. For example, B2 is ideal to back up a NAS. I wouldn't want to use it for set-and-forget cold storage, because of the single datacenter problem.
Perhaps, but the jury is still very much out. The vast majority of RL applications are game playing. Very few examples of valuable applications to society or the economy.

There's also plenty of evidence already that RL isn't really the right way to tackle the credit problem. E.g random search is only 10x slower.
I can't speak for OpenAI as I know very little about it, but I 'm more than half way thru part 1 of the fast.ai course and it's truly been a joy so far. Thanks Rachel and Jeremy!
How often did you send letters in high school?

I know that I thought zip code came before state until I started sending lots of mail.
Elixir in Action is a bit outdated, no?
I disagree with you and reality tends to confirm that having open tools available does not prevent closed tools usage. And there are a few reasons: as you mentioned non technical people may not care about open/closed or at least do not have this high on their priorities, then open tools often are worse than closed equivalent.

I don't mind companies being in it for making a profit, what I mind is the building of a closed web vs an open web. The closed version is doomed to fail and takes away power from the people while the open one is empowering people and gives us a chance at democracy and freedom.

Sadly this is a fight that we lost and I tend to agree with Peter Sunde, now it is a matter of damage control.

This may or may not.

Just to keep up with the Joneses, so to speak, may require adopting new graphical techniques and occasionally rewriting your pipeline to better align with the current generation of graphics hardware and APIs. A triple-A studio isn't likely to target the Xbox One or PS4 with an aging d3d9 forward renderer - for one thing, d3d9 isn't even an option for either, and for two it'd look quite dated. Oh sure, you can reuse a little vector math when overhauling to, say, a PBR-oriented d3d11 hdr-supporting deferred renderer, but you've rewritten a huge amount - and what hasn't been rewritten may be a bit awkward and ill-fitting.

And of course graphics APIs aren't the only thing changing between console generations. Even the basics like multithreading primitives, basic I/O, gamepad input, user profiles, etc. change wildly. You can build abstractions, but those don't always age well on either the design or the performance front.

It's also not uncommon to prototype e.g. your core gameplay loop in an entirely different engine (likely something lightweight that focuses on speed of iteration) than your actual implementation of the idea as a final game (which may focus more on efficiency, high fidelity graphics and animation, etc.) The internal overhauls of a long lived MMORPG may also leave the codebase bearing little resemblance to the earliest released versions. Ports - especially if outsourced - are often developed as very divergent forks, rather than variations on the same shared codebase. So in a very real sense you may have multiple unrelated or barely related sets of code for the same release.

If you're less successful, you may be able to stay in the game by reusing your existing codebases more to be a bit more efficient. If you're even less successful, the most efficiently reused codebase in the world won't keep you in business.
Bitcoin is not a security so I don't think the comparison is valid. Your other examples don't involve securities or the SEC. I'm not familiar enough with Unikrn to comment on that.
This is a fluid development, but basically until Stox proves that it isn't a security, then securities regulations apply. In this case it means lots of disclosures for safe harbor from litigation when it goes bust. (PSLRA)

How is it different than bitcoin or unikrn? Loaded question, but the main thing is that not all tokens are the same. As in, just because something is tokenized doesn't mean the same things apply. Even the SEC understands that, and proved so with their no action report from a few days ago, even though nobody read it and just used the headline to confirm their worldview.

Regulations apply to securities. Bitcoin isn't considered a security. Unikrn might be. Stox might be. This is a factor of how they are offered, issued, and used.
Build instructions, and dependency assumptions for starters.

Sometimes the hardest part is just figuring out how to get a project running, or learning what kinds of settings need to be enabled on deployment.

As for craft and actual in-code understanding, I think the masonry example can fit well (see pair-programming as a more fluid example of this). Granted, if you have an API, you probably want to at least document the interface with an example of how to call it. The complex bits of "how is this architect-ed can be better taught by 1:1.
As a recruiter, I get a fairly regular flow of job applications from people who have had a go at making money from games and decided they need to go back to jobs that pay a salary.

Sad but true.
The current problem is if this were a truly online only method, Redfin would accept and sell listing anywhere. Currently it does not, and is only useful in a few US large population areas. I want to use a service like redfin, but they don't operate in my area. For redfin to really take off (or companies like it) and supplant the real estate broker, it needs to be more available even in rural areas.
While you can prosecute people after the fact, it's rare to recover all or even most of the money.

I'd like to agree with you, but I'm becoming less sure of that with every day.

I think you missed the point of jacquesm's comment: "They are also tracking them quite well so don't compare them to let's say Romania or Bulgaria where tracking is next to non-existent."

In other words, it's highly likely that Romania didn't "do better" than Portugal, but rather they're doing a very poor job tracking overdoses at all.
That's what I thought, given that I didn't see any datacenter photos, tech blog, setup, and that their team is so goddamn small.

It feels like Wasabi is startup with no physical product, but I might be wrong.

As an outsider, the discussion of San Fransisco housing seems incredibly polarized.

Are advocates of new housing talking about disenfranchising their parents, grandparents, and older aunts and uncles? Are they actually talking about tearing down their old family homes that they grew up in and putting up apartment complexes instead?

If so then... wow that's a level of forward-thinking that's truly rare.

If not ... then these people are trying to have their cake and eat it too.

They want whatever district they move to temporarily for jobs to utterly change its character to suit them, at the expense of those already resident there. And yet anything they find sentimental, and all of their families' land assets, will remain safe in their hometowns far-far from San Fransisco.
