Encryption is only a danger if you have no values. If you value something, like a farm in Massachussets where your family lives, and some sheep and you like your PSVR, then you have reasons to like encryption. Encryption is defense. It can protect the things you love.

If you are a purely political agent, with no values, just an ideology you are trying to impose on the world, then encryption might be a problem. To you, the world is just power struggles. You like this person, you don't like this other person. You want this to happen, you don't want that to happen. Control is good when you wield it, and bad when someone else does. It's no way to live. That's a prehistoric approach to existence.

There are infinite universes, so there is a universe for everyone. The faster we get to the point where everyone has a universe that they are protecting, one which can sustain their body, the sooner we can see these technologies for what they are: safety.

Armies and nations and crypto breaking should be needed sparingly. We need to get to a world where they're needed sparingly.
Most of the time it's the same reason why web pages are MBs in size today: lazy developers that uses a new library for every feature they need, without a deeper analysis of costs and benefits.
The average new car price in 2016 was $34K.
Such an extraordinarily clickbait headline. I'm saddened that mainstream media has fallen to such lows. Anyway, the bots started speaking "shorthand English" (gibberish) to each other -- which probably wasn't very useful for training a human-facing chatbot -- so were shut down.

This would be true if the entirety of the library was used by the application. Wouldn't the linker throw out anything unused?

Coal plants would not be cheap to operate either if they had to pay for all the environmental damage they actually cause. Natural gas plants... they seem to be a good compromise for now, but we just cannot depend on fossil fuel to meet the electrical needs of future generations.

It is my sincere hope that we continue having a nuclear power industry to maintain the know-how learned over several generations. This would be useful not just for domestic power generations, but e.g. generating power for space stations, lunar/martian bases etc.

Sorry for the extra bandwidth, forgot to optimize the images.
Just assuming you have a giant washer/dryer at home and it would handle say, 3 of the loads at one time.

10 loads total.

1. Put 3 loads in washer. Wait for cycle. 7 loads waiting to start.

2. Move 3 loads to dryer. Put 3 new loads in washer. 4 loads waiting to start.

3. Move 3 loads out of dryer and fold, move 3 loads from washer into dryer, put 3 new loads in washer. 1 load waiting to start.

4. Move 3 loads out of dryer and fold, move 3 loads from washer into dryer, put 1 remaining load in washer. 0 loads waiting to start.

5. Move 3 loads out of dryer and fold, move 1 load from washer to dryer.

6. Move 1 load out of dryer and fold.

Total run time, 5 cycles.

10 loads at laundromat

1. Put 10 loads in 10 washers.

2. Move 10 loads from 10 washers to 10 dryers.

3. Move 10 loads out of dryers and fold.

Total run time, 2 cycles.

Compounding variables are overfilled dryers that may result in clothes not getting entirely dry or a very busy laundromat with limited available capacity. At the laundromat, you begin folding while adding time to any load that needs it. At the home dryer, the entire line cycle is blocked for the additional time needed by each blocking dryer.

Don't get me wrong here, I'm not advocating for letting laundry build up just so you can go do it at a laundromat. The convenience of having it in your home is well worth it - but if for some reason you do have a huge build up it's a great way to buy back your day / weekend if you want to be able to leave the house.

> Rational choice agrees that people don't act on perfect information

No, full rational choice theory posits that people do behave in a way which maximizes actual (not expected) net utility, or, in more detail, as if:

(1) They have a coherent “utility function” mapping each potential path through time that might be taken to a unidimensional, real-number utility value.

(2) They have perfect knowledge of the outcome (path through time), or at least resulting utility value, produced by every possible option with every decision they make,

(3) They consistently choose the option that maximizes utility.

There are more limited modifications of rational choice theory that attempt, with varying degrees of success, to close the predictive gap between full rational choice theory and actual behavior resulting from the fact that humans do not behave “rationally” in the sense of rational choice theory, but they aren't what is involved with the question “how can you lose when rationality is on your side?” asked upthread.

SEEKING FREELANCER - Remote - Designer

I’m looking for an independent/freelance designer. I run a small consulting & development company, and we occasionally have need for ‘design’ type work on both internal and client projects. It’s not enough to warrant a full time position, but I need to be able to rely on someone when we do need something done.

Sometimes this will be small jobs to fix/adjust something that a client’s designer provided. Other times it will be start-to-finish design on large projects.

Ideally, I’d like you to be able to handle any of the following:

- Rough sketches of ideas (could be on paper or digital)

- Conversion of paper sketches (either yours or others) into digital sketches

- Creating vector artwork to allow scalable designs

- Converting existing bitmap artwork into vectors

I’m sure there will be other things I’ll ask about, but that’s the key things that I’m trying to get done recently/right now.

To clarify: this isn’t a one-off job, but it isn’t a full-time gig either. I’m looking for a designer I can depend on to get jobs done in a reasonable time-frame, when I need it. How that works in terms of billing is pretty flexible.

I don’t mind where you live or where you work from. If you’re living in/visiting Thailand, I’d love to catch up for a coffee, but otherwise I’d expect to converse via email, IM or VoIP calls.

I might consider small agency type companies for this, IF you can guarantee me I’ll have direct access to one or two consistent designers, and not just a black box of ‘design magic’ with a PM in the middle playing Chinese whispers.

If you’re interested or just want to know more, email me stephen@koalephant.com

Edit: PLEASE make sure you mention seeing this post on HN, because honestly I'm looking at an email right now that I can't tell if it's a response to this post or random-chance spam.

Taxation is theft by definition, but getting rid of it altogether is a completely unrealistic endeavor. All we can hope for is reducing tax rates and educating people about "taxing the rich" (label that is usually used to advocate raising taxes on capital gains).
