I'm kind of shooting my own desires in the foot here, but that was a fiction.

We don't really have evidence for what happens when a generation of much-stronger, much-smarter than average humans are born, and subsequently give birth to another generation of even stronger even smarter kids. I'm hoping it's not a bunch of sociopathic Khans and that if we can figure out how to make smarter babies, we can also avoid making sociopathic murderous ones.

EDIT: On the other hand, I'm seeing the fear now - we create 100 of these superkids, and it turns out sociopathy is simply more fit than non sociopathy. They use their superior intelligence to out-perform "normal" humans, breed more of themselves, take over the world, and "normal" humans are gone.

Bad for normal humans, good for... whatever humans are after?

I guess it comes down to whether you're willing to accept that the continuance of some version of the human race is better than the potential extinction of all of the human race (which I believe is inevitable if we don't start making changes like this).

Maybe. Although I'd think a consumer friendly policy would tend to drive scammers out, but the lure of Amazon may be too big for them to resist.
What value do 3rd party sellers actually provide to Amazon customers? Yes sometimes the price is lower, but that's usually because they bought the goods at a retail store auction for next to nothing (these auctions sell lots of returned merchandise sight unseen). Anyone running one of these businesses has to realize what they're doing is more than a little sketchy.
I'm sorry I didn't have a chance to respond before -you've been very patient with your responses! Thanks!

Yes, this is quite neat!

I will look up the rule/theorem you mention. It seems "kind of" reasonable in the sense the same number of independent parameters should show up in any representation, but (and this is probably me just being dumb) I need to think about why wouldn't the form of the representations not affect the number of parameters.

Although, if m parameters in a representation can be mapped to n (m>n) parameters in another, the m parameters aren't really independent.

OK, now I am just talking to myself :-)

Also, in this context, the results around discriminative classifiers learning better than their generative counterparts (asymptotically) is something I need to think about. [1]

As I alluded to in my other response, I'm not sure getting rid of legitimate disabilities like Down's is optimizing for "shorter-term competitiveness." Your argument is basically a slippery slope argument. If we fix Down's, what's next? When does everyone become a 6'4" blonde haired blue eyed Adonis? If you'd rather say that we need to keep having folks with preventable disabilities because it represents "all sorts of good stuff," feel free to tell that to their parents.
> God ordered all Canaanites exterminated in Deuteronomy and Joshua tells the story of that extermination. Their reappearance in the following book proves scripture wrong without any help from scientists.

1. Joshua tells the story of that extermination.

WHERE does it say they we exterminated? As someone that has read a ton I have no idea where this idea started from. Probably some modern non-academic "bible expert."

Joshua 16:10 They did not dislodge the Canaanites living in Gezer; to this day the Canaanites live among the people of Ephraim but are required to do forced labor.

Sample of Lazy Academics or Research. Theology is a serious discipline and is pretty addicting. I know many PhD and Professors who were never Christians or Jews and just love this stuff because of the discipline.

Also if you don't read much ancient writings and especially biographies and histories you can easily get caught in a trap. Taking a modern world mindset to those reads renders them void and mute. Just like the colors many other things are very different to the mindset of Ancient Near East and Greece then today.

I can tell you I am absolutely shocked and disappointed in most modern Christian leaders and non-academic "Biblical Scholars." I just figure they don't actually read or study anything. They just listen to opinions with no academic or logical mindset and just run with emotional ideas. This is why their is Hermeneutics (academic discipline of interpenetration of literature) that many preachers rail against. This is part of why we have the crazy lack of morals and principles in the modern Christians here in America. So I don't blame you for just figuring Joshua exterminated Canaanites.

> "These differences are not really a problem for most people, especially with computers becoming faster and faster every year. 2
While some programming languages are certainly faster than others, what really matters is it gets something done."

The difference in execution speed between, for example, the same task implemented in C versus Ruby can be 100 to 200x. This is not a trivial difference at all. In other words you can get a 100x execution speed with the same hardware.

NOTE: Programming languages per se can't be measured in speed; what one can measure is programming language implementations. But the features and idoosyncracies of a PL will inherently affect how much speed an implementation could strike.
Yeah, well, this has been basically obvious for a while now: the world simply didn't develop the political will to deal with climate change in time to make a difference. It's probably still worth pretending that we have a chance, if that fiction helps us make changes that will mitigate some of the effects, but we're really just deciding whether we're going for "bad" or "worse". If we were going to achieve a good outcome, we'd have to have gotten serious a decade or two ago.
You're forgetting that DNA is far from the only input. There's also environment. And you're underestimating the chaotic, nonlinear system that is the material world.

Haven't we effectively halted evolution, though? Strength doesn't really matter when you can become wildly "fit" in this world via brains alone, brains don't really matter when you live in a society that isn't ok with (generally) letting people die on the streets of hunger, etc. Seems the traits being selected for is a total crapshoot - anything goes.
The Amazon 3rd party seller system is not designed for these small sellers to win. It's designed for Amazon to see which products are in demand and how much customers are willing to pay along with gathering feedback from customer expectations.

It's more of a platform to see what works and what doesn't, at the expense of small businesses who wanted to sell on Amazon. At least that's my perspective. A 3-5% margin may be fine when you run a 100B business, have economies of scale and a world-class brand, but the same will spell disaster for a small business.

There are also a lot of dishonest 3rd party sellers who come and go like a swarm of locusts. Maybe they "win" in the short run by selling counterfeit goods and not honoring Amazon policies, but in the end they will lose also when Amazon bans non-prime fulfillment of orders (that day is coming sooner rather than later, my guess is before 2020)

As a father (who does the cooking), I can relate to that difficulty. However I'm not allowing youtube access precisely because of the unpredictably of the content. I prefer my child to go on a Netflix or Disney Channel binge of her favorite show, rather than let her brain get hacked before she's able to understand what's going on.

But turning the TV off (mobile isn't allowed) usually results in solo play with toys. It took a bit of coaxing but now when sitting down, we agree how many episodes will be watched before the screen goes dark.

For one thing, if, as is likely, you try to fix a security vulnerability and fail, then you just fraudulently sold a product with a known vulnerability.

> Regardless of the price, an exchange cannot seize customer assets by giving them 10 days notice for withdrawal.

Perhaps, but the legal question is whether a protocol fork as a matter of law creates a new asset owned by the customer, creates a new asset owned by whoever controls the wallet keys, or merely creates an opportunity which someone who controls wallet keys may exploit to generate a new asset by participating in the ecosystem on the new side of the fork.

(Fundamentally, this also lays near the question of legal ownership of Bitcoin or similar cryptocurrency in general and what specifically is “owned” when one owns them.)

I like how you portray the US to have a higher moral standard for this subject matter. I wonder if there's a Chinese guy who read the article and said:

Maybe it is time to start thinking about an international agreement to limit unethical genetic engineering. A "Paris Accord" for "Genetic Engineering" if you will...
It does. I've worked at two places that implemented the first two items in one degree or another. One place my manager assigned me a project to automate the commit counter for each developer and wanted to implement a standard template for the commit message developers would be required to use and that could be used to identify the particular feature or project so that commits / dev / project could be measured.

Software development in the Bay Area and other tech hubs with similar (or aspiring to be similar) company profiles can be depressing.

Personally, I'm not "extremely wealthy", but I'm certainly holding a larger percentage of my net worth in bitcoin than is prudent. However, I sold enough to make back my initial investment long ago; if it crashes to zero tomorrow I won't be ruined.

I'm not holding bitcoins as a matter of principle. I have a number in mind, and if I hit it I will have enough money to retire at 35. At that point I plan to sell ~90% of my bitcoins.

I could sell some now, and make a significant amount of money. But I already have plenty of money saved; a little more isn't going to change my life. For my bitcoin investment it's FU money or bust, and any amount I sell now just lowers the chances that I'll ever get to FU money.
Being phased out by what?
A lot of people will be talking about ethics. But I'm thinking more along the lines of economics.

Rich people having expensive gene edited kids. They're stronger, smarter, more driven, and healthier than your kids. They are better looking. They'll be more advanced than kids their age. They'll have all sorts of built in advantages.

The social and economic gap will widen. Opportunities come easier to the people who look great, are crazy smart, and are driven to attain them. So the rich kids become richer and more powerful.

It's one thing to get a head start in life because your parents give you money. It's a much bigger advantage when your parents can also afford to give you built in physical and mental advantages far beyond other people.

Imagine being the kid who realizes he's slower than his classmates because his parents are poor, and that it's too late to ever change that.
What was the reason you guys dropped HList approach? I'm curious since I have to deal with tables with north of 200 hundred columns and because of forever annoying Scala's tuple parity limit (22) Slick falls back to HList which is really heavy on a compiler and IDE aside from other drawbacks.
I had no idea that things worked this way until I read this thread. It was not clear in the slightest from what the exchanges were saying that the fork would entitle me to another currency.

I transferred things from a private wallet INTO coinbase quite literally on 21:00 on 7/31 because there was absolutely zero indication from them that this was a bad idea - just that they didn't support some new alt coin.

You know what would have been responsible would be to own up and explain it:

"After the fork private wallet holders will have both currencies so you should remove your coins from coinbase before the fork, then put them back in"

Is that bad for business? Yep; too fucking bad. Coinbase holds the forked coins right now - all of them - privately. They just aren't giving them to customers. They're just another crooked exchange.

Yes, this goes to show that there are ~zero terrorists in the US. The US has an almost infinite supply of soft targets, but since 9/11 there have been no attacks of any consequence. There have been a few minor attacks like Boston bombers, but those have all been laughably amateurish.

The US has no terrorism problem. In 1979, the Irish killed the Queen's uncle in law, and in 1984, they blew up a hotel where Thatcher was staying. That's a serious terrorism problem! What the US has is nothing by comparison. We were unlucky on 9-11, and ever since we've been distorting our foreign policy out of unreasonable fear.
The Myth of Executive Stress (2013)
I wonder sometimes if the origin of coinage was similarly fraught with these sorts of challenges. The history of money exhibit at the British Museum is pretty awesome and they go over some of the 'coin scams' of the day like nicking bits off the coins and remelting them into new coins, melting coins and alloying them with other metals so that they 'felt right' but were diluted. People who no longer had to be 'landed' could steal enough coins and be 'rich'. Etc.

So back in that time when a new coin came out, I'm sure the money changers would spend good long time watching it to see how it was abused before they started accepting it as a 'real' coin.

Seems like much the same is true for blockchain currencies, they all need a bit of 'bake time' before you really understand both the demand and the risks associated with them.
> Come to think of it, I should at least consider that he's making it up, but I've met him several time and he's well versed in crypto and way ahead of the curve in learning about this stuff. Who knows?

If you poll people after a presidential election, a higher percentage of people claim to have voted for the winning candidate than voted for the winning candidate.

It's a lot easier to be well-versed in crypto and claim you won some big bets, than it is to be well-versed in crypto and actually have won enough big bets to "comfortably retire". The former requires hindsight, and the latter requires immense luck and timing.
Beyond that, it was more powerful than many (maybe most) modern governments. It was an international power unto itself.

Apologies, I'll need to re-read my comment and account for that perhaps in an edit. I don't mean to cast any country in a "better" light - I'm only speaking from the perspective of an American. Basically I'm saying if "we" don't do it, "they" will.

The endgame of my argument is that I hope EVERYONE will do it, and I frame it as "us" vs "them" as an attempt to find a way to overcome typical ethical concerns about genetic engineering, most of which I disagree with (so I myself don't need convincing).

My objective is a united human race. Whoever takes us there is fine by me.
I think we should be very very careful about messing around with human nature, especially in the face of the extreme power that genetic engineering offers. It's not just about the dangers of messing up, but the dangers of which things we decide to change.

1) In the same way how a bank use your cash deposits to do whatever they want with those bills, Coinbase can do the exact same thing because they never promised to their clients that they, the clients, were the owners of some private keys. This is basically the end of the story here.

2) Coinbase never said that they would adopt Bitcoin Cash. If these customers were really interested in doing some sort of investment they could have withdrawn their funds somewhere else months ago. Scared of using Bitcoin? then don't! sell your btcs for fiat and transfer it to your bank account, then transfer that to some other exchange that decided to adopt Bitcoin Cash.

I agree with most of this; but there are exceptions.

Many of these rules can be more flexible/broken at big global companies with remote work availability. They usually have experienced legal teams to iron out some of these pretty quickly.

Eg. We're a remote-first product team of 150+ (at a much larger corp.), currently hiring 3 people in China and several more globally.

I'd say more than anything, we primarily only hire people with 5+ years experience in our particular industry. We can onboard an intermediate or senior person within a couple weeks, but a junior with limited industry-specific knowledge would struggle without someone to tap on the shoulder every 15 minutes for the first couple years.

If I were to give someone advice on getting a remote job (more generally): it's more about networking than anything [even more-so than regular gigs]. You need to build up a level of trust with the people you're going to be working with before even applying. Reach out to a few people at the company you're interested in with questions about the product to establish a rapport, really know why you want to work there (beyond pay or working from home), and work towards having a few beers with them in person (if possible).
