Which is not a negligible threat. A major logistical crash will drop your standard of living down to what can be grown or made locally (compare the fall of the Roman empire) and a sudden one (such as a nuclear war) will for a while drop you down to what has already been stored locally - very very little, in this age of just in time delivery. Expect immediate and very violent food riots.
In my experience ddg is less contextual. For instance when searching for something that is trending, Google will often give the most expected results even if the search keywords are incredibly vague, while ddg will give more standard results respecting the keywords.

That’s the very reason I switched to ddg, but it bites me back everytime I try to catch up on stuff everybody already knows for days, and need to fallback to !g.

> In short, adding a decentralized network of paid/incentivized actors to any existing potential cryptographic problem space (a fair rough summary of the smart contract notion?), in particular the subset relevant for most businesses, doesn't seem to solve anything particularly well and typically decreases critical measures of engineering elegance such as simplicity, comprehensibility, predictability, etc. while increasing negative measures such as technical lock-in to piles of rapidly evolving technologies for which hiring and building is expensive and error-prone.

You could say very much the same thing about most supply-side innovations when they came out. Why buy a factory machine when your workers do it just fine? It's complicated, error-prone, you'll have to hire expensive, specialized mechanics to deal with it when it breaks down. It decreases measures of engineering elegance, like simplicity, comprehensibility and predictability. All the locking you into that vendor with a massive upfront capital cost.

Smart contracts eliminate trusted third parties (sometimes) and automate certain processes that previously couldn't be automated due to trust issues, or were automated but centralized (with the aggregating entity extracting rents). Fixing these things will reduce transaction costs globally, just as factory automation did.

Will it solve everything? No, at least not soon. Will it eliminate lawyers, courts, and so on? Not even close. But it will do some things. Things like escrow, notarization, and assurance contracts (e.g. kickstarter) are all easily amenable to blockchain / smart contract solutions. Prediction markets are another good one.

My point is basically this: People have been making unbelievably grandiose claims about cryptocurrencies. And those claims are, largely, bullshit. However, there are some things that they do very well, and they are starting to do them.

> Akins also alleged that the defendants violated his rights by removing videos he had posted on the CPD Facebook page, by ordering him to stop filming the filing of a citizen complaint in the CPD lobby, and by posting in the police department a flyer with information about him.

While I support the right to film public officials in public (which Akins did sometimes), it seems he takes his actions too far, to the annoyance of officers.

Perhaps the judge focused on these specific instances behavior, rather than a typical event of filming an arrest?
Discrimination is by definition unfair; therefore divisive. I thought everyone agrees on that.

It's very hypocritical to scream how discrimination against women or POC is bad and needs to be routed out, only to turn around and start discriminating yourself.

Discriminating against anyone (yes, even people you disagree with or don't like) is unfair.

Treating people differently based on their gender is sexist.

Smearing, bullying and firing somebody for disagreeing with you is bigoted.

The hypocrisy on display in this whole brouhaha is astounding.

The author isn't saying that all uses for oil would be eliminated. It doesn't need to be. It will take far less impact to ruin the oil industry.

They've made huge investments in production -- with 25+ year timelines -- that they'd be unable to make payments on if their incomes fall a mere 20%. And if the market for refined oil shrinks by even 10%, the glut of excess supply will drive prices down enough to put a number of companies deep in the red.

Oil is currently profitable because of its huge scale, high demand, and generous government subsidies. Upsetting any of those variables threatens the industry's already thin margins.

They may be right to deride the memo. They are not right to deride anyone who wonders whether writing something like that, and sending it internally to a mailing list intended for discussions of this subject, is maybe not an offence that deserves the outrage it garnered. Nor what basically amounts to a social death sentence.

Otherwise I'm with you until your last sentence. This is not a kind of human nature that I think we should accept. Especially because, as you say, it just doesn't work.

With electrical drivetrains making custom cars more feasible (easier to obtain for small car makers, simpler to integrate into a custom setup), we can hope for more of such design becoming reality in small numbers.
This concept car probably really was just designed to be maximal crazy :), but I think it is a great concept. It would only require a few small changes to become a really cool and modern car.

> They have a keen understanding of the total cost of finding and onboarding a new employee.

Because they will be involved in recruiting, they will also have a keen understanding of how much that increases their workload, which is otherwise pretty flimsy in a lot of cases. The more churn, the more they can justify their headcount.
You can use youtube-dl[1] to download videos from YouTube (and transcode them to free formats) without runnning their proprietary JavaScript. There's even a free software Android project[2] that lets you stream videos without running their proprietary JavaScript -- and in my opinion it's much better than the proprietary YouTube app.

RMS's concern with YouTube is that they use proprietary JavaScript and they use patented media formats. However, RMS has always made it clear that if you have the ability "at hand" to rip DVDs then purchasing a DVD is not unethical. Both of the pieces of software I mentioned allow you to avoid running proprietary software.

His other concern is that RMS wants people to publish things he appears in in a way that is much easier to access with only free software. The Internet Archive and CCC provide video hosting that is completely free software, with non-patented formats like VP9, and is easy to use. The idea is to make those forms of publishing more widely known about.

I'd be really interested in how differently tiered data sets (ladder rank) would work as sources for teaching.

Is it possible that training on diamond players is less effective than training on, say, silver? Is that actually even an interesting thing to look at?
I suspect it's because of a prejudice that there's something anti-social about working with technology. And that prejudice effects both the people working with technology (some of whom embrace that anti-social attitude, when in a different environment they'd do something about it), and people who don't want to go into tech because of that prejudice.
Well, that just argues for a Land Value Tax. If you buy land in downtown SF and want to make that a parking lot, more power to you, but you pay taxes proportional to the unimproved value of the land, and so you pay a lot more with respect to the value you gain than if you were to use it for office space.

Publicly auction public parking spots and allow them to rise unboundedly in price.

These are all economically efficient approaches. Instead of shaming people, we should incentivise non-wasteful behaviour (and I think economic efficiency is a good guideline here).
In RMS' world Photoshop wouldn't even come to existence.
This is not about Trump. This is about men feeling more obliged to success than women, because: culture.

If James Damore's claims (a former Google'r) are that people who are not female have no biological reason, and thus no moral reason, for acting like a complete asshole towards people, which is my take-away from his internet publications, then why do women act like assholes toward each other? And also, who the fuck are you, James Damore, to say anything about the oppression of women in a world defined by men. I hope you never get another job.
> Judge Nanette Laughrey ruled that [..] any citizen or the press, has no right to record the activities of public officials on public property

Weird how governments do watch their citizens in public all the time, waving any privacy concerns with arguments of "public safety" or "national security". While at the same time they prosecute whoever is filming them at work.

Similarly with Shenzhen I/O; I constantly think if I could make those microcontrollers as e.g. WiFi-enabled devices with small screens (e.g. via NodeMCU). You'd program and wire them with your computer or a smartphone, but the point would be that each such device executes its own piece of code, displaying the code and the state of registers on its small screen (and signal routing would go through the network for simplicity).

I kind of expected network based tests as reviews.

E.g. throughput, latency, connection setup, encryption strengths, fixed ip address etc etc. This is just a feature compare, where one trusts the vpn provider on their blue eyes, e.g. "No logging or tracking"

I cannot imagine a sane service provider that doesn't have some kind of logging, not of your (in vpn case,) browsing activity itself, but when you connected, what accounts are getting brute forced, etc etc. This is logging too.

>>he published a rant for all the world to see making it the CEO's problem.

Except he did not publish it, My understanding it put it on a internal system shared with a few people, other people inside google shared it more and more people inside of google until another Google Employee sent it to Motherboard or Gizmodo who published it for the world to see.

So then would you support Google firing who ever sent internal communications to a "news" organization which is likely in violation of company policy?

It seems like you're talking about predictions, but the point of "reliable sports scores or political information" is about a trusted source about past/current facts.

People have no problem verifying the bet results of yesterday's game or last year's elections. However, making a blockchain that can't possibly be manipulated into thinking that Clinton won the election (no pitchforks needed, you're misleading a single automated system, not everyone else) is actually much harder than it seems - especially if the decisions are enforced by the system, final and irreversible and can't be overruled by courts if it's found to be fraudulent afterwards.
Politics, favorite foods, religion, dress sense and other ideas aren't innate.

Gender, age, ethnicity and sexuality are.

Hence swapping gender for politics doesn't work.

Additionally Damore argued for assessing individuals as individuals rather than as tribe members and assuming discrepancy is down to bias - even if you did sub someone's chosen politics for their gender, Damore's proposed fix would still require you to assess the individual.

Hey guys, I'm the guy who made this. Let me know if anything isn't clear or if you have any questions.

*I developed this after I saw how poor google (and any other reverse image search engine I tested, like bing/tineye) performed on rotated images, for example google doesn't match this image [0] to it's original [1] (google's neural network will find that it is a cat but won't match to the original). After playing around with trying to make my algorithm (uniform/nonuniform) scale and rotation invariant I found that I was able to make it fully 2D affine invariant (pretty much by luck)

I developed all this in my spare time actively for about about a year. I also have a c++ implementation that let's you reproduce all this but it's just a proof of concept and so it's quite slow. You can check that out on my github here [2]. There are loads of ways this can be improved but I wanted to get the idea out quickly.

> I don't understand why people keep repeating that statement. He said that biological differences explain the different ratios of men and women, NOT that women are not suited for tech jobs. He explicitely did not say (nor mean) that a woman can't be a good software engineer. Just that on average, more men than women will show the features needed for software engineers.

The problem is that his whole argument is based around biological determinism and those are the same arguments that true misogynists often use to discriminate against women. He even stated 'Neuroticism' as a trait women are predisposed to, which could've been pulled right out of an argument for why women shouldn't be allowed to vote.

Damore devotes zero attention to the impact of culture on what fields women go into. And in a nutshell, that's a major reason this manifesto is problematic and got him fired. Women in IT sometimes have to contend with attitudes that 'women are bad at math' or 'women are irrational' or 'women only care about aesthetics'. These are the attitudes that make some technical fields unwelcoming to women.

He hedges a little bit by saying 'distribution in traits between genders may be a part of why the gender gap exists' but then he proceeds to discuss that as the only reason the gender gap exists.
Yeah. The NSA and the CIA doesn't care about WSWS, and Google simply made an editorial decision that these guys don't have a credible or objective view of history and shouldn't be a search result for neutral terms on history. How's that for a non-conspiratorial version?
Because in the blockchain and cryptocurrency space the hype is so intense that having people who can see through all of it to discuss the pros and cons of these systems is a breath of fresh air.

This announcement is the perfect example. People in the Ethereum community blindly celebrate everything that those in the limelight put out without really understanding it. I.e. most scalability proposals have trade-offs between security, flexibility, and a range of other factors. It so happens that the Plasma proposal has negative security trade-offs -- what a surprise.

The main utility of a blockchain comes from the extremely inefficient means that it imposes costs on its participants to improve security and social scalability. It is trivial to produce a scheme that will improve a blockchains scalability at the expense of security but most people in the Ethereum community have no deeper understanding of the issue than "YAY, GO VITALIK!! AWESOMEEEE GOOD TO SEE SOMEONE SCALING HERPA DERP, PLASMA SOUNDS WAY COOOL!!!"

Hang around in the Ethereum space long enough and you'll also notice the tendency for Ethereum startups to self-cite each other like some kind of recursive circle-jerk of ignorance. Seriously, a lot of these white papers have no basis in reality. I've read white papers that even fail to understand the most basic aspects of economics. A lot of these papers are absolute jokes clearly written by people with no experience solving any of the problems they aim to solve yet only those with technical knowledge can see this.

It would require whole books just to point out the myriad of flaws with these designs. And you know what - in the end it wouldn't matter because no one cares about how these systems work. The average person is only in it to make money which means that anyone who tries to point out a flaw is attacked by investors who probably don't even know what a blockchain is. The space is actually a really toxic place if you want to discuss any of its negative qualities.
It's amusing how my karma went up and down depending on whether the given person had understood the joke or not; eventually normalising at exactly 1. Nevertheless - I can't blame them as there is no way to tell the irony on the net.

Who I can blame is the original parent of this post who was quite confidently stating that omitting semicolons never causes any issues in his code (which is either a statement bounded by scale at which it works for him or it is not error-prone only in specific situations); and then just edited it so that it did not contain that specific line.
Because it takes too long, and everybody wants to get rich quick (or while they try to implement their idea).

Also, on bitcointalk it seems all you need is a whitepaper and a great(!) team (of 1 developer and hundred marketing strategists, financial directors and whatnot.)
I think it's bad to write "woman, or black man, or muslim'. Being a woman or a black man is something that is determined before birth. Your religious views are adopted after birth. That's why I think it is bad to speak of muslim people, as if that defined them the most. That leads to seperation and distrust, we-against-them. Your sex and skin colour is given, your religion can change.
