I wouldn't even go that far. I work for a tech company and am extra careful, even outside of work — on public forums, talking about my company or even controversial issues regarding tech in general because someone might mistakenly believe I am speaking as a representative of said company. It just wouldn't be professional.
Here's some more influence and then weird connections:

- The Japanese word for bread is "パン" (pronounced 'pan')

- The Korean word is "빵" (pronounced 'ppang')

- Both are loaned from the Portuguese 'pão' (bread).

- In Chinese many kinds of bread are called <something>包 (<something>'bao') or 包<something> ('bao'<something>). Examples: 面包 'Mianbao' (bread) or 包子 'Baozi' (steam bun). Note the 包 'bao' sounds a bit like the Portuguese 'pão'. However, it turns out this is completely unrelated and 包 means something more like "package" (or so all the translators and dictionaries I could find claim) so most people believe that this is a false cognate and not a loanword like in Korean and Japanese.

- Despite this, the Chinese 包 'bao' has ended up in Korean as a kind of loan word as well, but because it seems to mean the same thing as 빵'ppang' and is used in similar ways in Chinese as 빵'ppang' might be used in Korean and for various pronunciation reasons in Korean, Chinese origin breads are also called 빵'ppang'.

- The proper translation for 包 into Korean is more likely 꾸러미 'kkuleomi' (package).

- So....Chinese-Korean breads are often called <something>빵 such as 찐빵 'jjinppang' (steamed bun)) even though the correct Chinese name for the Chinese-Korean 찐빵 in China is called a 馒头 'Mantou'.

- However, in Korean, a 만두 'Mandu' is a different but related food, a dumpling, and in Japanese a 饅頭 'Manjou'.

- Going West instead of East from China, the 'Mandu' as a food goes back a thousand years and spread all over the Silk Road, so local variants are found all over Turky, Persia, Afghanistan, Mongolia and so on are called the same thing and may have been the basis for the famous Russian "Pelmeni" and Polish "Pierogi" and various other dumplings known around the world.

And thus the great bread-dumpling belt is enjoyed around the world to this day and was established by explorers, wanderers, conquerors and traders.

Personally I prefer having tabs at the top of the browser because they are always accessible without being too distracting. I find having a wide sidebar of tabs pulls my attention away more often than I would like.
I don't know what the situation is like in the US, but in Canada, the old railroad corridors are often siting there, unused, because the railroad company owns the land and is trying to sell it some obscene fee (land that the government originally gave them for free).
The point of this thread is that if you are ordered from Amazon, you actually might have to deal with this bullshit. Selecting a seller requires as much care as eBay at this point. It's not what it was.
Does it matter? Central banks are creating money, so of course they can pay the interest rates they made up from whole cloth.
This is it right here. If you watch enough of the show, you'll eventually discover that most of the savvy entrepreneurs are actually on the show pitching to the sharks for the publicity. The sharks know this is a problem, and this is why some of the most watchable scenes are when an entrepreneur gets an offer that matches his ridiculous original ask, but then rejects it. This basically proves they had no intention of actually going in for a deal, and most of the sharks (especially Mark Cuban) fly off the handle over it. Totally fun to watch.
>But how come, somehow, whites will always be safe and don't need a "white" country?

Nobody is at war with us over our country's borders

>Oh, and for the record, most Jews are "White" as far as my eye can tell.

A lot of people disagree, actually. In fact, "white" doesn't refer to skin color, but ethnicity. Hebrews are usually considered to be non-white because of their ethnicity ("Jew" is just a colloquialism and doesn't refer to their religion, but ethnicity).
It's interesting to hear that some people actually enjoy turbulence. You would think that anything that introduces stress to aircraft components would be a cause for concern when travelling in a metal tube with little chance of survival in the event of catastrophic failure. Planes are reliant on routine and properly thorough maintenance which isn't exactly a guarantee given the time or cost constraints. And when you couple this with the fact that there are planes flying that are very near their end of life expectancy how could you not help but worry when turbulence hits.
Interesting. TOS can't be a 'catch all'. There needs to be another criminal intent. But, wouldn't using the plugin to avoid paying for the service be the other crime? Seems like two crimes? Which would satisfy?

http://harvardlawreview.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/1265-...
Will do. Happy to do a Show HN at some point if there's interest.
If he could explain turbulence, that would be good for a Nobel Prize.
How is that different from any other investment?
Oh, that's way more interesting. So they have standing? I can see the argument that altering the execution of the program sent to the users computer is a DMCA violation (i vehemently disagree, but i can see it). But i don't think they didn't actually wrote the page that's delivered to the user.
Agreed, not implausible. Sorry for downvote. Actually after having thought about this a bit, there are many possibilities.

One (the one you seem to be in favor of) is that due to higher hiring standards even if the average abilities are similar, after the hiring filter average woman is more skilled than the average man.

Another is that (just like it was described in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14988086) you have lower standards for women than for men so that you cut incompetent women some slack.

Yet another is that while the averages are similar, men are much more varying in their abilities, so that both ends of spectrum (outstanding competence and extreme incompetence) are dominated by men.

Etc. There can be a lot of explanations besides the bias in hiring and without some empirical evidence it is difficult to choose.

FWIW I've met my share of incompetent women. But I'm not US-based, and that might explain the difference.
I'm not sure gold has been stable recently. it has regularly had 30-50% swings up and down over the last 10 years. recently well off it's highs.

An individual is an individual. Individuals make up a group. You can apply statistics to individuals in a way that you can't apply to an individual.

I'm repeating the word to make a point. Your second quote might say "individuals" but it's talking about a group.
Facebook makes slightly more than a dollar per active facebook user (in profits). So if they did payout to active users, it would be just a couple (or tens) of dollars. Hardly an "income".

Reasoning: Facebook's profits divided by active users.
At first glance you're right, but it's not hard to imagine an ad system which makes the text of a website invisible (or scrambled) until the advert has loaded, and imagine an ad blocker which is designed to do the unscrambling without rendering the ad.

I don't know if that's the precise situation here, but if the ad blocker is intentionally carrying out a process like this to access the copyrighted work of the website without obeying the restrictions of the technological control process, then I could see that falling well within the bounds of the DMCA.
Sure, there are laws limiting the totally unchecked exercise of power. Your example is too extreme, though.

In my case, I was being sarcastic... yet it's nearly true. His mega-wealth let him buy the oceanside estate to begin with, and then his mega-wealth lets him ignore fines. The laws against this abuse are (as evidence here) quite weak.
I think it may be worse than a lost packet, though. If the destination host is truly gone from that network, the nearest router might reply that no such computer exists, causing the socket to be disconnected. (It's been awhile since I've studied TCP/IP; I'm not sure what the exact correct reply would be...)

Perhaps this could be mitigated by adding a timeout that keeps sockets alive for awhile in case the destination shows up somewhere else.
I think you should investigate "isochrones"
Huh? The fact that the majority of people dismissed this memo, and is actually a small amount of the usual suspects getting "offended" about Damore getting fired, tells me that people are more "incredulous" about his argument.

The funny bit about "my assertions" as you call them, is that actually the only "assertion" I make is: this is not settled science; trying to build an argument around it is as useless as us trying to decide policy by speculating on whether Bitcoin will destroy fiat money or not. It's people like Damore (and you, apparently) who are trying to make this a "settled matter".

Please, back your assertions. Please tell me in concrete numbers what percentage of women are not interested in STEM because of biological factors? I mean, if it's settled science, you surely know the answer, right?
FBI doesn't have to get involved; the USPS has kick-ass federal special agents of their own.
If we somehow get to a world without computers and electricity, I doubt gold has much value either. Water and bread though, those will be valuable.
I've been on a smaller jet where on approach to O'Hare, banking left over the lake, we must've hit a aircraft vortex. We went from maybe 20-30deg bank to something close to 80 in an instant while simultaneously getting that lovely zero g feeling if falling. Lasted like the article says maybe only a few seconds but I'd be lying if it didn't get my adrenaline going and a few expletives out of me.
If I'd made a really bad career decision, I would have spent years working on this problem in a suburb of Cleveland. A startup I once worked for pivoted from mainframe scientific time-sharing to school bus scheduling. Fortunately I'd left by then.
Sorry, I never meant to imply the offender was male or female. On the contrary, due to the value of using a female name, it should not be regarded as evidence of the offender's actual sex or gender at all.
I loved the VehiCROSS-I especially loved the fact that to save money on a very low volume vehicle, Isuzu created ceramic-faced concrete stamping dies for the sheet metal. I wish I could remember where I read about the tech, but this was 20 years ago....
Pretty sure OP left off the <sarcasm> tags.
Wasn't the valuation at more than 700 million some time ago? What are all the consequences of dropping the valuation from 700m to 150m? Any ideas?

It works as an investment precisely because the tokens will be tradable, and with use and demand they should increase in value significantly.
That's exactly what I was thinking!

Perhaps blocking all the 3rd party sellers and/or checking with fakespot.com then injecting some <div /> in the page displaying some sort of rating...

So, they serve you the food, and you pay for it.

But, you choose not to eat the raw onions they've served with the meal.

This would be the analogy of choosing not to render html/javascript content.
I love both Dota and ML, this is awesome. I would love to know whether they release the source code for us to play around.
There are no exchanges that will let you withdraw $xx million a day in fiat.

That's why your lawyers and their lawyers have to negotiate this up front and have a deal with penalties signed before any transactions take place. If you're dealing with amounts that big, you do that.
I'm not sure it meets the definition of a circumvention tool, which appears to be a reference to 'computer software.' As in, the legal definition for such. The courts use a specific definition, found by the entry in the above reply. The few cases I found made use of the specific terminology.

IANAL :-)
>carbon-neutral

I almost guarantee those plastics were not manufactured using a carbon-neutral process.
I would also like to know this, Google should have fired him the same day. I have heard that it took a while to get all their legal ducks in a row before firing him.
I don't really see why a distinction would be made there. iOS's and macOS's process models are being made more similar as time goes on. And as a heavy user of both platforms I'd find it surprising if it didn't behave this way. An option to change it would be welcome, though.
Wat? There are 24 hours in a day 1-24 or 0-23, pick your poison. But 100% Fuck halfday, 1-12 bullshit.

P.S. Also fuckoff non-UTC time.
The UK is such a land of contrasts. Are we pro cycling? Anti cycling? The record shows that we provided the world with its finest cyclists over the past decade, but the experience as a cyclist on the roads is not pleasant.

Are we pro-car? Anti-car? Driving is usually miserable anywhere but the hinterland, and yet we supply the world with almost all its F1 cars.

The answers seem so obvious and yet we struggle to bring about change. This is the land of Newton, Maxwell, Hawking for God's sake! Why is this land of progress yet so stunted in ambition? It confuses me.

Never thought I would see something like this from TechCrunch. I would never buy one of these but I'm just glad that word is spreading about these machines.

...and a Japanese manju 饅頭 is a fluffy, sweet confection filled with bean paste, close to a Chinese bao but quite unlike the Korean mandu.

Mandu, in turn, comes from various Turkic languages, eg. in Turkish they're manti. But in Mongolia, the savoury meat-filled dumpling everyone else nearby calls a manti/manty/mandu/... is a booz, because they borrowed the word from the Chinese baozi instead, but in Chinese this style of dumpling is now called a jiaozi, which is the source of the Japanese gyoza 餃子, and on it goes...
Thanks for the reply!

Just to clarify, is it possible to extract any metadata from the underlying Ether network (if that is being used)?
I would, irrationally, feel bad about sending someone to prison for 20y just because they stole some cash from me.
I have to think that in the investment industries there are at least a few truisms about not being first.
This. I know it, and you're right, flying makes it feel worse. It helps me a little when I'm in flight turbulence to close my eyes and pretend I'm in a bus on a dirt road. But I can't figure out how to ignore it or just feel calm and rational, like I want to.
Right, but if you're a seller and you get scammed, you're screwed, since eBay heavily favors the buyer.
Or even merely using a .com TLD.

I used to live in an exurb of Minneapolis (25 miles) and had to commute to/from the city.

I'm sorry to say that at least for Minneapolis this map is wildly inaccurate. My 25 mile commute would take me, not accounting for unusual weather, at best 1 hour and at worst 2 hours.

I wish I could live in whatever fantasy world they pulled the data from.
The court can order the contract's private key to be magically willed into existence?

The law often sees itself as onnipotent, but it stands no chance against cryptography and unnamed contract authors.
Wow, that was not even close either. And it only takes it two weeks to reach that level of play? OpenAI should create a team of five (as they said they would) and let it play in the qualifiers next year.
And they're not clever enough to deal with Safari's tab bar?

Just as humans can adapt to the tab bar shifting when tabs are opened and closed, humans can also adapt to the concept the tab bar focusing on the left or the right and collapsing the opposite side.

The point of my previous comment is you've lost literal spatial organization already, as the exact same position isn't guaranteed to be the same tab after other tabs have opened/closed, so we're already talking about dealing with relative positioning of tabs instead of absolute positioning. And Safari's tab bar does not screw with relative positioning.
Oh, thanks for deciding that for us.
I once had the USPIS hunting for a $10 monthly subscription box of snacks when it was signed for at an apartment building but my friend never received it. Got a call from a gruff-sounding agent promising to look into it and everything.

I don't think I ever got a follow up after that, though...
This is really cool outreach on OpenAI's part. So many young people watch The International and I'm guessing that at least a few of them are more interested in CS and STEM from seeing this.
I don't quite follow. So who deletes them in the end and how?
There is an individual in the NYC area who has managed to acquire and register (get NY plates for) a late-model Citroen C6, which was to my great disappointment never officially imported to the US. Very, very jealous.
India pioneered a "reversible vasectomy" [1]. Basically they gum up the ducts from the testes. It does not have to be irreversible.

The thing to watch is whether knowing they have become, at least temporarily, infertile, will lead them to unsafe sex practices resulting in more venereal disease.

Well the presentation was a little meh but very impressive tech they built, excited to see the 5v5.
How are the facts incongruent with the narrative you object to?

Generally people who support this guy focus on only the bits of fact the memo author relied on: they ignore the context and his application of alleged facts. That's what you did, for example.
I mean, you could just never leave your house if you were concerned about safety.
Prediction: everybody else there feels the same way.
From the article:

> Implicit bias tests can help people identify their unconscious prejudices

Really? Perhaps mention all the problems with them too; or is this it:

> Not everyone is happy with such initiatives

Maybe clarify if that's due to opposing motives, or for entirely justified reasons, or this is just double-speak..

Why start at 0? Did you echo this from an array?

I think Amazon is part of the scam for allowing it to happen while doing nothing about it and profiting off it like the seller!
One of the problems with Ethereum smart contracts is they are trying to do something that is basically impossible.

A contract is an explicit set of rules as to what the involved parties are supposed to do in every relevant situation that could arise. The problem is that in the real world it is very often simply impossible to anticipate every possible relevant situation. That is because the real world is so complicated, and we lack much of the needed information about what might happen in the future.

The consequence is that in business, unanticipated situations arise all the time where the signed contract either calls for something that would lead at least one party to suffer, or it is not at all clear what should be done.

%99 of the time, the involved parties simply decide informally what to do. 1% of the time one side sues, and in most of these cases the lawyers settle before trial. And if it goes to trial, the judge decides on things like intent and fairness that can't be clearly specified in a contract.

It is just not possible for smart contract coders to solve this problem that experienced business people can't. And let me add that this is similar to the problem with bugs. A bug arises when commands and/or data are encountered by the program that the coder had not anticipated, and so the program does something other than what is intended. It is the same basic problem of not being able to anticipate all possible situations, and so this is why all programs have bugs.

The story is that this baking technique came about as a necessity during World War II to save energy, although I'm not sure if that's actually true.
Is the "two weeks" of time in the Dota environment, or two weeks of training time running in parallel as with A3C or something?
Yeah I agree, even posting on HN is fairly unprofessional. Afaik when you join certain corporations like Apple they limit what you can do online, because they don't want your comments associated with their company. Maybe Google is nice enough to not do that, but it is not uncommon.

So I'm surprised to see comments like this parent comment, saying "he should be free to say what he wants". No, that's just not how it works.
That is the law for California.

http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/opinion/commentary/sdut-...

> In 2014 the Legislature and Governor Brown gave the California Coastal Commission the authority to fine property owners who intentionally block public access to the coast. That authority was included in the 2015-2016 state budget, based on legislation I had written in 2013 to achieve the same goal.

The California Costal Commission website - https://www.coastal.ca.gov/access/prc-access.html

And then from there to https://www.coastal.ca.gov/access/pr-access-facts.pdf

> The California Coastal Act, Public Resources Code Section 30211, states:

> Development shall not interfere with the public’s right of access to the sea where acquired through use, or legislative authorization, including, but not limited to, the use of dry sand and rocky coastal beaches to the first line of terrestrial vegetation.
Ever heard of SRY ?
That isn't the case here. The city owns the corridors.
Then that brings up the important question of how many millions it would take to replace most of the infrastructure with something simpler.
Kanji are not commonly used for any of those words. However, they are typically rendered in hiragana, which is usually reserved only for native Japanese words.

Tabako (タバコ、たばこ、煙草) is another well-entrenched Portuguese loan, with particularly wacky kanji: they mean "smoke grass", which is reasonable enough, but you'd never guess the characters are read "tabako".
This is when human logic overrides a dumb policy. Really, people at Amazon shouldn't be overriding their brain with a bunch of text in a policy.
Indeed, and that's where the argument that he's "all for equality" falls flat on it's ass. I call that kind of reasoning "benevolent bigotry": "ohhh, of course black lives matter! But you know, black people are predisposed to be criminals, so it's understandable if they get shot more frequently..."

It's unbelievable that in 2017, in a field that is vastly dominated by males, someone would have the gall to claim "trying to introduce more diversity is repression."

Can you imagine if the roles were reversed, and the nurses association said "well, we don't really want more males in the profession because they are clearly not biologically ready to deal with people. We'd love to have them, but clearly they are not interested so we'll set a quota on how many can be certified per year"? The same people defending Damore would be flipping their shit.
