I work in the financial infrastructure space, and while I'm no fan of Symantec, using Let's Encrypt would get me laughed out of the room by compliance and our auditors.

>That's a CRTC ruling designed to promote Canadian content. It's a protectionist measure because the US is right next door. It has helped artists get exposure. Stills shitty when a third of the radio content is the same stuff all the time.

This is why the Internet is such a wonderful thing, when it works properly (without worrying about georestrictions, for instance): it allows us to route around things like Cancon, and listen to the streaming audio of our choice.
Make no mistake, this is going to be an even greater period of uncertainty for current SYMC CA customers over the next six to twelve months.
Presumably the idea here is that DigiCert is buying Symantec's customer database, and instead of Symantec painstakingly transferring its users to a new, trustworthy certificate issuance system, everyone will just use DigiCert's.

Which, if that's the case, will mean Google and Mozilla more or less killed the web's largest CA.
You may want to come up with an escape plan then. If digicert can buy Symantec so that Symantec can escape censure what message does that send? At this point Symantec should be considered so radioactive that nobody would go near it for fear of contamination. Symantec betrayed all of us and digicert, in buying it and rewarding the behaviour is doing the same.

With the immigration crackdowns by the Trump administration, we've seen more and more stories about labor shortages in agricultural jobs often performed by immigrants. The problem has reached the point where wages have been increasing. Do those with criminal records consider these jobs? Why or why not?

I would imagine that agricultural jobs would be low-risk for those types of employers since those with criminal records are unlikely to be interacting with customers or exposed to high value inventory. Both of which are characteristics of a job that would give employers pause about hiring someone with a criminal record.
I read your comment as supporting the idea that women forgo STEM roles due to gender-specific negative pressure (certainly true in some cases), while I'm suggesting (also) that some may be choosing different career paths to achieve more fulfilling lifestyles than STEM offers at its best.

Apologies if I'm interpreting you incorrectly.
Venezuela Is Collapsing. Could a civil war be next?
I am not a lisper, but that looks pretty cool. The non-lisp ways of writing that would either require adding parens like GP or writing things like "result /= 2", but that means repeating "result" or whatever variable many times.
I didn't say you didn't say it wasn't
This is basically sample fragments with some very simple repetition rules, which are then picked and mixed manually.

The repetition makes it sound a lot more musical than some of the more extreme academic music you can find. But it's still a product of its source material enhanced by human editing.

There's no sense in which this is any kind of AI. There's no NN, no symbol grammar, and barely even the simplest rule-based expert system. It's more like a semi-random razor blade tape editor and mixer.

But... it's new to most audiences, who won't have heard of Autechre's more interesting experiments with Max - or any number of other projects - and who are used to a rather precious narrative about the sublime nature of musical composition, which the text shovels on with a back hoe.

It's one of the odd things about music - it's performative in more than one way. Not only are composers supposed to perform music in the obvious sense, they're also supposed to perform "I am a composer and/or performer" in very standardised genre-specific ways.

In academic music and other genres aimed at intellectual audiences that means the music has to be supported - i.e. marketed -
with program notes that suggest to the listener how important, culturally significant, original, refined, and creative the music is.

If you take away the notes and let the music speak for itself, you immediately lose a lot of the impact.

I suspect most people who heard on this Soundcloud without any explanation would think "That was weird and maybe mildly interesting" and move on without giving it a lot more thought.

AI won't have solved music until the music can stand on its own without needing that kind of marketing.
On the other hand, being completely unfamiliar with genetic imprinting as we are, we have no idea what the effects that this kind of single-gender inheritance may be.
Amazon keeps indy sellers around so they can use shopping data to identify trends on high-margin, easy-to-produce good that can be readily copied and offered by Amazon for much cheaper.

IMHO.
Sure, women who take time off to raise kids will take a hit to income. In a married family, the husband compensates. If the woman is unmarried, she gets child support/alimony to make up the difference. So, either you're arguing that child support/alimony is too low, or that married couples get hosed with the externality of having children. This is recognized in law, and people with children get tax deductions, and if they don't earn enough, they get government provided healthcare, food stamps, WIC, housing assistance, etc. On the other hand, the married couple gets the joy of raising children, the satisfaction of contributing to the next generation, and hopefully someone to look after them when they're old. You can argue that this isn't an equal trade between society and parents, but it's not an issue of male/female discrimination.
if you compare it to a gymnosperm (the dominant plants before angiosperms), like, say, the structure of a pine cone but unfolded/unwrapped a bit, the reconstruction in this paper may seem more obvious.
I know that. I read the article. What's the point of your comment other than restating the article premise? You answered none of my questions.
Krita does have a paid app in the Windows App store plus they have a one on Steam called Gemini. But I'd guess they don't make a lot on this. Something like Synergy primarily makes money because it gets sold to business which are more willing to spend.
Anecdotally, by far the raunchiest place I've ever worked was a catering job that had a pretty even male/female split (not sure if it was exactly 50/50) with women overseeing the operation. That place was a lot of fun.
The position has been filled.
> Which, if that's the case, will mean Google and Mozilla more or less killed the web's largest CA.

No, no it did not. Symantec deserve zero benefit for any "customer base" transfer and digicert should be ashamed for rewarding Symantec's behaviour.

What Symantec did should result in punishment so severe no CA would dare do the same ever again. Their business should be null and void and considered to be worth absolutely nothing.
Palmer Luckey's new defense technology startup Anduril draws execs from Palantir
First time creating an account on HN. Wanted to to say what you're doing is important. I will be sure word gets around about this in the appropriate circles where it would be useful.
> As one of the btc nouveaux rich, help me understand something I see reoccurring among my other btc-rich friends. Generally, when you're up big (and in some cases extremely wealthy), you diversify your investments in order to preserver your wealth. However, almost without exception my btc friends are such believers that they are holding on for the ride forever.

That's the idea.

However, you have to understand that if say SNAP stocks made someone rich, then diversifying makes sense, but if you got rich by some investment in some company Cayman Islands (but with a real business model), then you wouldn't just bring back the money or part of it purely for the sake of diversification.

In other words, diversification away from bitcoin isn't in the same boat as diversifying away from real estate or some stock.

From your friend's perspective, if they sell $100K worth of bitcoin, then is it possible that they might end getting on the radar of the govt and could be on hook for more than $100K?

In addition to that, bitcoiners also believe that bitcoin hasn't reached it's peak, so when it reaches it's peak, they wouldn't have to sell their bitcoins (because every business would accept bitcoin). You don't even have to go to 'every business' part. Even if half of the businesses accept bitcoin, then they don't need to sell their bitcoins.

Finally, if your nouveaux rich friends expect a Venezuala style situation, then, holding it further is the rational choice from their perspective.
> If women in these communities feel harassed more often, it’s more likely to be a result of gender balance than a cause of it.

Rather than speculate, you could also ask those women why they feel harassed. But then you might not get the answer you're looking for!
So I had some bitcoins at time of the fork. Do I have the other new coins as well? How can I spend, sell or buy them? Is there a multibit for bitcoin cash?
That definitely seems possible. I have also read some interesting stuff around how women tend to end up a few years behind their male counterparts due to child care, maternity leave, and them choosing not to take less demanding positions to spend more time with kids. There is a lot in there to unpack and you could still argue it is a societal discrimination thing (women are expected to do more child care duties), but that is not an argument supporting pay discrimination at a corporate level, but more of a societal shift that has to happen between child rearing partners. I don't know if this matches up with data and studies, but just logically, it is inevitable for a woman to have to take at least a little more time out than a man due to the biology of child birth and child rearing.

I think all of this points to women not attaining the same rank/position as the key factor in gender differences, not a discriminatory pay gap.
> Why do you ignore the lower range.

Because, partly from experience (hiring for companies I worked for) I know that it's a lot harder for the companies to find qualified experienced candidates to fill positions, so when they put out a range, they are telling the candidate what the maximum base it is that they are willing to pay.

So as a candidate, I only look at the higher number knowing that's what I am going to ask for, and if they really like my skills and experience, that they will most likely honor my request / demand.

Also, in case it wasn't apparent, I am in San Francisco, so I think candidates in general in this area have more leverage, but you are right, it may not always be the case in less "tech companies saturated" areas like say, Idaho or someplace else. YMMV.

EDIT: See @fecak's answer, recruiter for 20 years who also says that "The high number is the only thing many candidates hear"

You can post the benefits too! And those have the advantage that they're probably going to vary a lot less over the entire company — e.g., everyone is offered the health/dental/vision, whereas salary depends on things like skill, position.

I just hate the conversation that always ensues with the recruiter; after refusing to name a number, "but we have great benefits, and options! Options!" Options that I am going to value at $0, recruiter. Especially when I haven't had 6 months of experience at your company yet to really see how things internal tick — or don't.
My impression is that even thumbfingered old grannies have mostly figured out Facebook, though. I'm sure there's a market for people who want to use videochat but can't manage even the very simplest of computer operations; I'm just not sure it's a very large market.

I suppose I wish them luck, in any case, if it can make a few people's lives better.
Monsanto Emails Raise Issue of Influencing Research on Roundup Weed Killer
Women don't advance in rank as fast as men, and so end up being paid less. Thus article doesn't refute that because it admits that level is factor in the pay gap.

As to why women don't advance as fast ... my opinion is that it's primarily motherhood that does it. It puts a career on hold for 6 months times the number of children, and women are socially expected to be primary caregivers so they feel pressured not to work long hours (and so advance less). Before they get pregnant employers will suspect impending motherhood and offer fewer opportunities so as to rely less. It's not fair, but it is how it is.
"I hope you share my intuition that utilitiarianism is an unusually thing-oriented and systematizing moral system, and that this gestures at the same large but hard-to-explain difference as the other two results."

I do not. Utilitarianism, at its core, is the exact opposite of "thing-oriented" - it treats rightness of action as a function of the action's good, rather than as a property of actions. In the (act) utilitarian view, something is not good or bad in and of itself - it is only good or bad with respect to its consequences. As such, an act utilitarian should give no mind to "things" themselves, but only to the actions that produce the best outcomes.

Edit:

I enjoy reading SSC, but I think Scott Alexander (and the normal rash of new utilitarians) consistently make the same mistakes that their positivist progenitors made in the 1940s. I wish we (academia, and society as a whole) would stop treating science and human concerns as prickles and goo[1].

I think that your argument depends on perfect markets - perfect flow of information and 100% market efficiency (no transaction costs) and also perfect computability as in the capability for all actors to compute the optimal clearing of the optimal transaction system for the transaction at hand.

I am pretty sure that teaching and medicine are the kind of good that would break these rules - political implementation, people and markets or no.
Nice work. I'm wondering, how would you test/benchmark such an application. Besides manual testing on a variety of torrents, how would you do regression test there? same question for benchmarking. How to compare this work with another client?
Countries usually specify at what point you owe them money.

You can live in Tijuana, Mexico and commute to San Diego, California every day and won't owe anything to the IRS (as long as you are not a citizen or permanent resident). Now, getting your employer to pay you without withholding US taxes is another story, not many employers have experience with this. Not sure if you are supposed to file for a tax return at the end of the year but you still would owe the Mexican government taxes.
They also added compelling generated samples back into the database. A sort of evolution based on the original sounds thay decided to seed it with.
In my mind, UBI was promoted more due to the increased automation that will happen in our work lives where top companies hire a lot less than their counterparts did years ago and more manual labour is taken over by automation.

Moreover, socialism itself is not evil or fundamentally wrong just like neither is capitalism fundamentally wrong, this depends on the government. Many nordic countries have quite often skirted the thin barrier between welfare capitalism and socialism and have not combusted or achieved what you said above.

Instead UBI is championed more as a continuation of the welfare system already in many countries (read the articles defining UBI). The idea of welfare itself is a capitalist notion and UBI should not be identified with the ideas of socialism or capitalism. UBI is not an extremist idea and should be treated along the lines of a more aggressive pension/welfare policy.
So I'm not a bitcoin nor market expert but jandrese laid down his opinion, which sounded like it made sense to me. I was hoping for a well informed response but your comment just reads like you wanted to call names versus explain your reasoning why you think jandrese's argument doesn't make sense.

Perhaps's that's not what you intended but if you had an explanation for why parent's response doesn't work I'd love to read it.
That's wrong. If I hold 1 BTC, I'll have 1 BTC and 1 BCH after the fork.
If I sell for the equivalent of 1 BTC in USD (say, $2500), I'll have $2500 after the fork, instead of $2500+$700 (price of 1 BTC + price of 1 BCH)
I just read that page and I have no clue what Mobius is actually doing.
People who want to buy BCH have relatively unrestricted access to the market since most of the exchanges have reopened BTC deposits. (Of course, whether they can withdraw that BCH is another story entirely.) Most people who want to sell do not have access since BCH deposits are either not available or require multiple days worth of confirmations. Can you see the problem here?
The message is that Symantec doesn't get to run a CA business anymore. Presumably the fact that a sale was somewhat necessary was priced into the purchase price.
The fact that male teachers are equally underpaid, pretty clearly.
I'm talking about preferences regarding science camp versus princess camp (or a chemistry degree versus an English degree). My daughter is incredibly gender normative. Everything is pink and frilly and she refuses to wear pants. But she has no idea that science is for boys.

But it doesn't increase the chance of survival, which is what he probably means when he says we halted evolution.
I also don't understand this. Where did the idea that UBI means 'Communism' come from? I am myself a Communist; the Communists and anarchists of today and since the 19th century would be thoroughly ashamed to see that a concept like UBI has been given the title 'Communism' or even 'Socialism'.

Does GP know that under UBI, there is still ownership of private property, there is still primacy of wage labour (and therefore what Marx terms 'exploitation'), there is still no democratic communal control over the social means of production, there is still a class society, there is still a state. A society which has adopted UBI satisfies all the necessary requisites for a capitalist mode of production - and most importantly requires a state.

So I wonder - have the Communists miscommunicated their aims and goals and theory so as to lead people to be so misinformed, or are people ignorant (I don't use this word in a disparaging way, I am ignorant about glassmaking for example) for some other reason? More importantly, have authoritarian governments of the 20th century permanently misled people to think that Communism means "strong government"? Rather than "the withering away of the state due to the changing societal base"?

To understand the social anarchist or Communist position, someone popular in the left wing Youtube scene has made a well-edited and cogent leftist critique of UBI that came out yesterday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J10jKdPRN9A

It is still a great shame to see comments so misinformed, such that all I must say is: read books! The anarchists, Proudhon and Bakunin and Kropotkin, the Communists, Marx and Engels, the democratic Socialists, Oscar Wilde, George Orwell and the Georgists, including Leo Tolstoy and Albert Einstein. It would do one wonders to become informed on these political philosophies.
There's another way to frame that... too few men put their career advancement on hold when they choose to have children. Instead of sharing the burden, society expects a disproportionate sacrifice from women.

Typical example: Nobody asks a male CEO or politician who is staying home to take care of the kids.
IT depends. If you own your keys, then yes, you have an equal number of BCH now. If you don't it's up to your exchange to decide if they will support the fork, and therefore, weather or not you now have an equal number of BCH.
> Will this make South Korean economy less competitive?

Your comment almost reads like satire. The whole point of the article was to show the dystopian insanity of what a society hell-bent on competition at all costs looks like. High school kids in school 14 hours/day competing against each other for limited slots at top schools, and then competing against each other for limited slots at companies where they work 14 hours/day for low wages. Life satisfaction ranked among the worst and suicide rates the highest in the world. Blatant discrimination on physical attractiveness (hence highest rates of plastic surgery) and parental occupations is icing on the cake.

And you're concerned that addressing these issues might make the economy less competitive? That mindset is exactly the problem this article is trying to highlight.

We completely neglect happiness, and maybe we're all competing for the wrong things.

Open to alternative solutions than UBI, but I don't see anything else that's going to have a significant impact on fixing South Korea's situation.
Completely unrelated to the topic, but does anybody know why I'm getting a private gist link with the post's content when sharing it from MobileSafari (iOS 11 Beta)?

One step closer to the 'master race', I guess my decendants will end up as pets, slaves or killed off.
The giant issue with this argument is that the state of being married/single/having children/etc. is not a fixed state. If a woman who is married takes a hit to her income (and thus all future income) when she has children and is later divorced, has her spouse pass away, or other life event that changes her status, the burden of that inequality is again placed on her. Child support is difficult to collect, social safety nets are not an answer to the quality of life gained by earning a certain amount.

I don't have answers to these questions, but the long term economic burden of children will more often than not fall to a greater degree on the woman should there be any deviation from the social norm of a nuclear family.

I agree it's a problem. But it's women's problem. If they want to get ahead - start negotiating. It's not incumbent upon society to bend over backwards to facilitate every subgroup's predilections. Salary negotiation is a necessary part of the job market. It performs a useful and important function - price discovery. It is not sexist if women are maladapted to it.
