Something I try to do is whenever forever I spot an obvious facebook scam (share to win free vouchers or holiday or something) -- I explain in the comment to that person exactly what I saw that makes me suspect it's a scam.

It's a subtle way to educate without "telling" which puts alot of people of. For more direct approaches, see some of the other comments about rules for his mother, etc. :)

I find this helpful as 90% of the time these scams are super obvious to me but not others, so I try to share that knowledge.
I am not entirely sure that legalisation alone increases unhealthy usage. I think people that fit profiles which make substance addiction a significant risk, are mostly the same profiles that don't respect 'the law because it's law'. At the same time, I know of plenty of people who drink dangerously but don't touch other substances. The comparison is difficult because of all the factors that promote drinking in society.

Mindset/cultural attitudes are the central question. Say if the UK's binge-drinking culture transposes to binge-consumption, and introducing legality is considered an opened door, then the healthcare structures are critical. It's also probably quite hard to educate GPs - who seem to be big on drinking away their stresses at uni but avoiding other drugs - into an open mindset that identifies the right problems.

The pros and cons seem to accommodate a careful optimism and evolution-of-culture outlook. Not necessarily sweeping reforms. The problem for this view is that those with vested interests support sweeping anti-reform, whatever way you want to look at it.

It just happens that Google and Facebook draw most of their revenue from being middlemen in the advertising industry, the same way Uber is a middleman in the transportation industry -- Uber doesn't have the fixed costs that you'd expect a large cab company to have.
Last month I had the disappointing surprise of finding a lock on my bike. I forgot I put it (it's been years since I last used it). And it's not a key lock.. so I'm screwed. Not willing to cut the cable.. I decided to brute force it. 999 space is fun. Luckily you quickly find similar tips than the alignment one to speed up the process. And since it's not a full rotary lock, I could also "DDR" the tests by testing when going from 0 to 9 then from 9 to 0. 5 minutes later and 800 attempts I was lifting my bike like a king. Until I realize the rear tire was dead. TL;DR; do not succomb to the seductive power of cryptanalysis.. check rubber first !

Author of that comment here.

Still being sent back and forth between Microsoft UK and Microsoft US with an occasionally unusable laptop.
Wasn't that always true though? The earliest internet I knew was through AOL cd's, but it still seems like the internet as we know it was born of cancerous (mostly pornographic) ads.
Not sure I would use it, it seems a bit too much of magic to me (coming from ruby, I really love how everything is explicit in go), but this is certainly a clean and well executed idea. Good job, guys!
We can ask ourselves what could exist without ads.

Most newspapers could make old-style ad deals, like they do for print. A few newspapers also still finance their sites almost entirely through subscriptions, and those would continue to exist (e.g. Süddeutsche, SPIEGEL). As would obviously publicly financed sites (BBC, ARD, ZDF, NPR).

Also products financed via paying customers, such as imgur used to be, or possibly reddit if they change the way reddit gold works.

Also, most people's blogs would continue to exist, as many self-host or use services where the free users are subsidized by the paying ones. Even WhatsApp used to be profitable with that model.

We'd be going back to a 2010 era web, and I'm not so sure that's actually bad. We'd lose the corporate dominance over the web, Google, Facebook, etc.

Now, there is one part where paying user subsidizing doesn't work, but where ads are currently the only model of financing, and that's search engines.

But considering those act as a public service, maybe after advertisers leave the web and Google goes down crashing, a government could just buy Google (as the German government bought DHL, or major shares in VW, they could probably just outright buy Google).
I think a certain percentage of the population does drugs and that's just how it is. It doesn't matter if your a lawyer a welder or unemployed, people like drugs.

This is just one company. I worked for a big mobile games company, and their main complaint was how expensive where ads nowadays. They used to pump millions and get as many players as they wanted. Now you need to take a lot of care on how you spend your money, as the return of investment is not guaranteed if you pay too much.

If other companies follow suit, then we can talk about a more general issue. Maybe it is just that their campaigns were ineffective because were not good, or because their target users are not reached on digital ads.

You can also do that on Lisp's cousin, Smalltalk. :)

Have you ever delved into Xerox PARC documentation?

Lots of goodies regarding Interlisp-D, Smalltalk and Mesa/Cedar.

Java, .NET and Swift are probably the only modern environments that expose that experience, even if not at the full extent of those environments.

Of course, given the budget, I guess a better option would be to buy a license to one of the surviving Common Lisp commercial environments.
In the US, bible belt culture generally regards drugs as shameful, and yet, this is where heroin and meth abuse is most prevalent. Same with porn use, drug use's cousin. Less shaming leads to the same levels or less than if their were shaming because, counterintuitively enough, shame and blame increases isolation and foul moods which leads to more drug use than otherwise would exist.

Best for anti-drug folks to take some responsibility for creating this "war on drugs", its attendant culture and the lives lost.

Testo GX do an overhead press. Do a barbell curl and do a lined tricep extension, okay? These are exercises that have two things in common. One they're compound. They usually involve multiple joints. We want to start trying to build your coordination on these movements and allow you to become stronger, allowing different muscles to work together. The second thing is, they allow you to eventually overload. So let's just look at a case of the arms. A barbell curl is always going to be the heaviest bicep exercises that you will ultimately be able to do. You're not going to be able to do more on a concentration curl than you are in a barbell curl. So I want you to focus on those bigger exercises, okay? Now, how are we going to break them up? I want you to start by simplifying again. I know that people will probably tell you to start doing total body workouts because that's the best way for a hard gainer to build and – no. What I'd rather you do is actually conserve your energy towards those movement patterns on particular days. So, break it down into, again, movement patterns.

Some of the best image-recognition systems, for example, can successfully distinguish dog breeds, yet remain capable of major blunders, like mistaking a simple pattern of yellow and black stripes for a school bus.

That's exactly the problem. Robots lack sanity checks because they lack real understanding. If you cannot recognize an object that is far away, you are instantly aware of your inability to identify this object. A computer just runs its code over it and outputs complete garbage, and this nonsense then enters the system and does who knows what damage.

Plausibility checks are incredibly complex! If you are in central Europe and you are not in a zoo and you see a leopard fur pattern, it's probably not the living animal! And so on.

If we invest heavily in some AI tech, let it be to produce huge medical datasets. The software and hardware is ready. We're only lacking sufficient data to make more diagnoses with super-human accuracy.

I have a friend who had a 40+ inch rear projection TV(not a modern LCD/plasma but one of those much larger ones), a couple of very large wood cabinet speakers(probably at least 3.5-4x1x1 feet) and a small mini fridge(still filled with food) all stolen, during daytime hours, from a 20-25 unit multi-story apartment.

Anecdotal I know, but I wouldn't assume most people are terribly attentive.
A thought experiment: suppose my company makes and sells shoes. We're a shoe company, right? Then one day some soda company calls us and says they'll give us money (a generous $10 a pair, our pairs sell for $100, cost $90, hello double profit) if we put their logo on the tongues. Sure, we try it out, shoe sales don't seem negatively affected (they're great shoes) so we keep it and keep taking money for the ad. Basically one guy at our factory coordinates with the soda company to make sure we're paid, and makes sure we have logo supplies and that each tongue has a logo on it, but the rest of us are just focusing on making and selling shoes. Are we still a shoe company? I think yes. What if for every logo'd $100 pair of shoes we sell the soda company pays us $50? $100? What about $200, much more than the cost of the shoe for their ad, such that we start giving away the shoes for free? Still a shoe company then? I still think yes.

Well its India, in some transactions, lets say the final price is 1 million, the buyer and seller will agree to show the price as 800,000 legally (so you pay the tax on that amount) while 200,000 is paid in cash.
I can echo the same is very valid in Finland. Certain behaviors that are very stereotypical here are Protestant/Lutheran by nature. It's also a bit amuzing as mostly people don't recognize that and are typically very anti religion or atheist.

Not sure what he has in mind. There are already a lot of smart people building Q&A systems. We need tests to establish if a system can read. Once you have those then you can throw a competition up on Kaggle with a big purse.

I'm a little unclear as to the logic of your argument. If you are implying that Bezos is controlling WP's output then wouldn't he have stopped some of the stories you posted? I don't remember when he took control, but I'd note at least two of those stories are from this year.

There are other articles critical of Amazon from WP too, eg: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/birkenstock-...

Maybe you think there should be more, but it's not like other news sources have huge numbers more.

(Also, your argument that Amazon is a monopoly isn't one that is widely made. I can't think of a single category where Amazon doesn't have meaningful competition. Just being successful doesn't make a company a monopoly.)
Caught in the net
The sort of data they have would macro-, that's not telling you if any particular click is fake.
"I figured that even if the article is off by 2 or even 3 orders of magnitude, I would still be doing very well should I develop something similar."

Here's your problem. Firstly: lame motivation, in that there's no reason for a player to give a crap about this motivation. It doesn't relate to the experience of the game at all, only to 'players give me money'.

More importantly, you're fundamentally misunderstanding how internet markets work. It's always a 'viral' power-law thing where the one you're getting excited about, the incredibly profitable game or the PewDiePie youtuber etc, is unattainable. You can't have that, you're not already them, and there IS no 'second or third order of magnitude', those are also extremely tiny groups and it takes decades of work and impressive existing name recognition to even get there.

There is no correlation between merit and reward, except that 'a set level of merit is required just to get you into the zone where the power-law guys operate'. Past that point it's essentially arbitrary and governed by rules you can't affect. You don't get to turn into a PewDiePie or a slither.io, there already is one.

My advice as somebody who's in the top 3.5% of all Patreon worldwide (which is surprisingly nonlucrative, further making my point) is this: look to what you're already doing in life. For me, it's audio hacking, and so my Patreon around that 'succeeded' because I came into it with literally ten years of doing business and being known by the general audio-plugin public, with an existing brand identity and a dedicated fanbase. That got me earnings roughly a third or a quarter of what direct sales was getting me (but: much more steady and predictable and growing, which has done me a world of good).

If you haven't already been publically making games for ten years or so, the last thing you should do is look at slither.io and go 'I should do that and make a tenth/hundredth of the money. How hard could it be?'

You're fundamentally misunderstanding how internet economics work. On the internet, if you try to get 1000th as much as slither.io by making something half as good and hoping for the best, you get NOTHING.
Promises are one of those features misunderstood for 2 reasons.
Several leading initial library implementations were broken from day 1, and couldn't/wouldn't later introduce breaking changes to existing users.

Another factor dragging down the impression of Promises: Google search seems to love returning 5+ year old articles. They almost universally suck.
Even the stuff I wrote back then was awful.

New articles are not necessarily spared, they often suffer from a number of issues: Overly Simplistic examples, fragile function boundaries, leaky variables, arbitrary 'design.'

So we should ban every personal choice with negative externalities? There goes alcohol, twinkies, contact sports, driving, etc. It's a personal choice as much as anything else, so just estimate the cost of any negative externalities and cover that through taxation.

The model of inhumane prisons and death sentences? Actually the US has a pretty similar model to that already, so I'm not sure what your point is.

So what would be your equivalent position in the 1940s about the nuclear solution? "Don't worry about it, humanity has always prevented slow moving disasters."?
Because the question is not about whether one should develop AI or not, but if we should be worried and work actively to minimize risk, as has been done on the nuclear case...

So suppose you simulate 100 Earths from today t=0? What are the best strategies to prevent this problem? Are we doing all we can? What proportion of the 100 Earths have a good outcome?

In other words, what are the risks and benefits of adopting a "worried" versus a "don't worry about it" position? For example, what's the worst that could happen if we all worry today for nothing, and in 50 years we all live happily in the cloud?
What if we don't worry now and it turns out that AI somehow wiped half the population (or all of it)?

If there's a possible huge meteor (say 30% chance) of hitting the Earth in about 50 years, would you be "worried"?

If she has any doubts she just rings me but that's rare.
Most of the AI progress in last years is just tuning pattern recognition algorithms. We can not expect these algorithms to produce results like humans, because humans have a lot of information not just from percieving the world, but their patterns of thinking are also vastly dependend on the underlying structure of brain, that has developed over milions of years of evolution.

If there is a cliff, toddlers are scared of being nearby. They definetely don't have the ability to "imagine=simulate" the consequences of falling over the cliff. The fear is in the structure of neurons of brain.

If you feed classifier algorithm with images of black dogs and white swans and then want to classify black swan. Both classifying it as dog(because of color) or swan(because of shape) are right. The difference is only in bias, which features do you prefer.
But Amazon isn't a monopoly is any way.

The WP has covered various union's arguments against Amazon, eg: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/07/17/why-t...

I think you may misunderstand what left-wing people generally think. This quote from the above article summarizes it quite well:

Jon Leibowitz, a former Democratic chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, said the agency has a duty to challenge any deals that could end up hurting shoppers.

“Think about the Amazon business model — that’s typically bringing down prices and enhancing innovation, which is a benefit to consumers,” said Leibowitz, now a partner at the law firm Davis Polk. “But the FTC is a very professional agency, and they’re going to pay attention to any substantive concerns raised by outside parties.”
