The same argument leads a rational person to stop obsessing about the supposed morality of killing humans. The touchy-feely appeal to "think about the suffering of the _humans_" is likewise species-ist
"sites which allege that they are legally required to be loaded if embedded in other sites."

In that case, maybe the best technical and legal solution is to block any sites that contain their domains completely. I.e. boycott anyone who does business with these people, without "violating" someone's interpretation of DMCA.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned anything about Rudy Rucker, whose blog this is from. Some credit him with authoring the first cyber punk novel, which was titled 'Software.' It's the first in his 'Ware Tetralogy' (Software, Wetware, Realware, Freeware) which I'd certainly recommend checking out.
It doesn't matter if operators get prosecuted or not. What matters if is people in general see running exit nodes as somewhat risky. Unless there is a reasonable perceived payoff, even a very minor perceived cost will be enough to stunt the growth of such a network severely.

Same goes for freenet and the like.

> There is no timeline for F# support on UWP. If you must use UWP for your workplace, then F# is not an option for you. We make no such claim that you can do this, though. If there is such a statement somewhere, please do let me know. I do not wish to mislead anyone.

>This is an interesting point:

>> Full tooling support, every single feature as VB.NET and C# have on Visual Studio.

> Is it your expectation that every programming language be supported across everything you can use in Visual Studio?

>> As for .NET Core, most of us on the enterprise hardly care about .NET Core beyond UWP, until it gets feature parity with .NET Framework.

> I will challenge this position. Perhaps you’ve not seen .NET Core in your organization, but we’ve seen strong adoption and significant interest in the enterprise for .NET Core. And this also goes beyond Visual Studio tooling. Many enterprises have developer who wish to program on macOS and deploy to Linux machines. We’ve made that a priority for .NET Core, and F# is every bit as capable as C# on that front. This has also been a significant area of growth for C#, F#, and .NET as a whole.

> No further news or updates on F# Support for .NET Native. There is no affinity between .NET Native, .NET Core, or VS 2017. It's an orthogonal area.

> There are three options:

> Use UWP Bridge

> Deploy elsewhere than the Windows Store

> Use Fable + React Native

Come on Microsoft, this is unacceptable, you're driving valuable programmers away from your platform.

F# is a mature fully .NET compliant Microsoft language, it should be expected and a high priority to get the .NET Native UWP (your main platform) to accept F# code.

Most people I know invested in F# with the expectation to target Windows without fuss and workarounds. And no, UWP Bridge and Fable + React Native are not acceptable solutions.
Putting the GO in HBO GO. Their naming scheme between HBO NOW and GO is also awful, and they even have separate apps.
Hrmrmrmmmmmrm..... saw this on le reddit today about Charlottesville:

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/aug/12/virginia-uni...

"He said that they would not back down fr" ... article starts to get pretty scary about here...

... side note ... I feel like my comment is at least semi-appropriate response to this article (sans rhetorical styling), and yet feels a bit off-topic for the website. I wonder if one could parse the site and split into 'social articles' and 'tech articles' with some textual analysis / browser extension-y magic..

to continue my point, I'm sure Charlottesville is usually a decent place, but maybe needs a diversity education program or something before it is a /really/ nice place, idk.
Anecdotes proof? Very convincing.
I'm starting to think this "AI" is just a giant regex

The lack of an objective test is more problematic tan the lack of a cure.
I strongly suspect they aren't.

You're looking at a high-precision instrument, that's being fit inside a distinctly finite space and mass budget, that will have to operate for years (possibly decades), and which is beyond reach of any conceivable service mission for a very long time.

Movement, thermal control (the Webb operates in the low end of the visible spectrum, through the infrared, so its temperature itself is critical), alignment, and drift, all matter.

And every piece of equipment has to be tested and trialed to the maximum extent possible.

Yes, it's a bit Rube-Goldbergish, but then, so is the specification.
It’s good that this issue is being addressed, but I wish there was an equal amount of attention for people like me with the opposite problem: too much social interaction and no way to escape it.
I feel that you are missing the whole point of "AI breakthroughs that will soon kill us all and need regulation". It's not about AI becoming self-aware and start to proactively taking over humanity starting from a Dota game, it's how we are finally capable of putting AI anywhere.

The point Elon Musk was trying to show is that nowadays, we have the technology and the research to replace humans by AI for making judgement calls, no matter how difficult it is. And this was proven with a "simple" game of Dota. And if we are able to build a system to play Dota, we are also able to build AIs for anything at all.

You claim that there had not been any real breakthroughs over the past years but truth to be told, today we have AI playing Go, AI managing self driving systems, AI playing games of Dota against the top players. All of this happened over the last few years, 5 years ago this all felt like a distant future.
I thought this at first too, but the viewing habits of children are different. Some kids literally watch the same thing every day, for weeks or months. The convenience of being able to give them the iPad to calm them down at dinner with their favorite movie is probably worth $15 or so per month to plenty of families. Sure you can pirate it for free, but you're really paying for convenience. Piracy is a service problem, and right now playing DVDs isn't the best experience available.
You could do it in those languages. But it would be uphill all the way and you'd look back in a year and realise you'd expended 10x the effort trying to hammer a square peg into a round hole than it would have taken to just learn R, Python or MATLAB upfront.
That would cost more CPU for the same result.
First, there was a study.
Then, they come up with some explanations.
I'm not sure how convincing the explanations are, but it's hard to discuss the results of the study, especially if we don't know the methodology.
If you remember the days when cable first came out it was a mess as well. Every company like MGM with Epix is dumping their library behind a paywall waiting for the great consolidation to come and buy licenses to all the libraries or just buy the library outright.
There was no sex under Socialism, I am a living proof of that :)

That doesn't sound like CFS though. If you have CFS, working for a few hours or jogging for a few mins, leaves you in pain and fatigue for weeks.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is also a very bad name, because many patients don't have fatigue, but they have very high exercise intolerance (jogging for a few mins leaves you bedridden). That's why the current discussion is to rename it to S.E.I.D (Systemic Exercise Intolerance Disease).

Yours sounds like a mild depression, which can be easily treated through therapy or anti-depressants if needed. But I would see a doctor before of course.
The discussion is not about "what could've been", much less about "what should we do today". It is mainly about what "would've been if we lived in a world where RMS managed to forbid proprietary/closed-source software". I posit that if this prevailed in the 70's or 80's, there would simply be no software revolution.
Realizing that Sims games are really meta-games about life is how you actually win any Sims game. The only winning move is not to play.
i know a thing or two about loneliness. there have been periods of my life during which, i am now sure, i experienced some of the deepest loneliness that a person might ever experience outside of being marooned on a small island.

i guess i wont go into detail but i was completely alone for four years. during that time i developed mental health problems and negative habits that, at the time, i did not realize were due to loneliness. this was compounded by super bad stress from other things in my life. i reached profoundly low states of mental well-being -- looking back i actually am astonished. there is no doubt in my mind that whatever i encounter later in terms of loneliness, it will never come close to that.

after four years i met a girl and we lived together for another three years. the article hits the nail on the head about married couples -- having an so is the number one solution for loneliness. it turned my whole situation around and has left me off much better even though the relationship came to a sad end. if any of you guys are stuck being super lonely, i would recommend getting a girlfriend no matter the cost. also, i would recommend taking a complete multivitamin. something in those things makes my depression a lot better. good luck.
We can easily reduce it by half: "Let’s dispel with this fantastic fiction that agreeable potatoes don't know what they're doing since they know exactly what they're doing: they're trying to change this wonderful, beautiful country." (11%)
You can't avoid FB either. It tracks you even if you're not logged in, and even if you don't have an account. And by tracking you across sites it can infer your age group, gender, sexual orientation, political leanings, income bracket, and other personal preferences through simple co-visitation mining. And they know your rough location via geolocation, too, as well as how many people live in your household, whether you have kids and how old they are (assuming they browse the web), etc. None of this requires you to volunteer any data about yourself, and none of this (in the US) requires your consent.
The reason I don't buy the "destroying jobs" argument is that we have tens of thousands of jobs just in the small country where I live that could be automated away by 1980s technology. For a US-specific example, look at the way you submit your taxes. That shit could be 99% automated away, like it is in many European countries already, and you have several large companies that would come crashing down, together with many thousands of government employees suddenly without a job. There's no AI required. Why hasn't it been done already? Why should AI change that?
Hi, I submitted again because at that time I did not know and did not post with Prefix "Show HN:". Maybe that's reason?
The "taking of the world" scenario is a too narrow view of the whole complexity of AI regulation.

There are other more realistic and important scenarios that need to be addressed, for example: AI's default behaviour when challenged with a possibility of a car accident on a self driving system. Should the car try to avoid the accident by jumping of a cliff, sacrificing the life of the driver and of the people inside the car, or should it hit the next car making the accident worse for the other person but potentially saving the life of the people inside the car?
I wonder what is meant by this question. In a very naive sense of the question, the type of mathematics Gödel worked on (foundational?) wasn't really computation oriented or even formulaic, so the ability to perform lots of calculations very quickly probably wasn't of much use to him. Indeed, computers where available to him in later years.

A more interesting interpretation of the question (to me) is what if he had access to computers used as mind amplification devices. For example; such as by using Mathmatica or Maple to explore and visualize theorems and things. I'd imagine the benefit of this activity for someone like Gödel would be "not much". Computations and simulation have inherit limitations; precision and rounding errors for scientific computation, and the fact they can only model what we can imagine for another. These people such as Gödel, Neumann, and their ilk, new this, they begat the era of computation we have today, and all the limitations that involved. Neumann in particular was famous for, when presented with your problem, would tell how to solve it.

What's new today that they may not have foreseen is the vast level of internetworking and human communication that arose from ubiquitous presence of computers and networks.

Something that strikes me about the present article is the fact that Gödel, keen to see Rucker before he knew him, was not so keen to converse with him after their first encounter. One might think Gödel was not too impressed with Rucker, maybe found him boring and dull for example.
This is just another version of the ignorant "depression == sadness" meme. Depression and CFS aren't exactly the same thing either.
rr doesn't work on my CPU yet. Or at least not without building from git, and that fails due to some compilation problem or other. I haven't had time to try much more than that, but from what I can tell from the docs it does seem better though I think at unnecessarily high cost. I already have code that make Valgrind fall over because its state exhausts my memory, so I'l be interested in seeing how rr fares there.

Frankly, I'm amazed Google released it and tries to advertise it as a "product" that "works".
Thanks, was scrolling for a clear cut argument.
This looks really good, but you might want to hire a copy-editor in the future:

Most ~~of~~ symbols are the same in \inline-math and \math-container, but there are ~~one~difference~~ some differences , these symbols below will be displayed in smaller fonts

Additionally, when I copy-pasted this here from your document, it included a bunch of metadata you probably don't want to expose to users. I think there is a way to set different clipboard contents for different MIME types, maybe look into that.

Protonmail is adequate. The client (Android) is quite limited, and neither POPD nor IMAPD access are supported.

I'm pretty close to giving up on email entirely based on its deep and pervasive privacy flaws, and for the most part don't rely on it. (I'm lucky to have that option.)

Unfortunately, I don't see an open alternative on the horizon either.

I think the point is you can have lots of social interaction but still have superficial relationships and little support network. Not saying that's your situation of course.

How to social media strategy for B2B content based blog?
Hi,

I am working on a B2B industry blog with niche topics on areas like ITES, Outsourcing, Software, Consulting industry. I am looking for crucial advise on social media strategy. Some of my questions are:

1. Observing the core business topics, should FB be considered for active social media presence? Any success stories or something to follow?

2. How should Linkedin be targeted? Since we are a blog but not a company, at least, not today, should we go for a group in Linkedin or still stick with a company page to push the updates to content?

3. Leveraging twitter - Looking for existing successful players,so far, I only found people with fewer then a thousand followers or those who are tweeting about everything but the topic.

Any other suggestions are welcome
Asking for a phone number as a verification method is particularly toxic for users such as myself who do a lot of international travel and essentially just use phones for data plans.

Due to a close call with one of my own accounts, I absolutely refuse to link a phone number to any online account, for fear of it being required months later when I'm in another country. I still nearly gotten bitten by this problem when Google wanted to use my old android phone itself as a secondary identification method. AFICT, the only safe solution is to also avoid using Android phones (or have no Google accounts you'd care about losing).
This seems to be broken for keyboards without QWERTY layout (about half of Europe) because math mode can not be entered with the '\'-key.

Well, this concept dates from the nineties. Google, as opposed to AltaVista, Yahoo and others, was just a neat, minimalist search engine with excellent results - and they remained in this way for a few years. In the minds of the users it was a company offering a great service while not asking for anything in exchange - and the "Do no evil" mantra seemed plausible back then.
SO "answers"

That is also laughable and more than a bit insulting:

- most of the answers (I encountered) are in fact proper and correct answers because bascially it's a peer-reviewed environment, so no need for those snarky quatation marks. I, and many others, have spent hours and hours writing down good answers, and learning quite a bit while doing so.

- DDG/Google/... know about SO so it is often possible to get these answers way faster than when using the reference documentation, and your brain cannot change much about it

- you'll find answers which are nowhere to be found in the reference documentation - I assume your point is that with enough reference documentation and thinking any complex programming problem can be tackled. Well, yeah I guess, but it takes way more time than needed and anecdotally I have seen code written by people thinking that and it was one horrid mess. Mostly because stuff like 'good practices' and insight in design principles and patterns and whatnot isn't found in reference documentation. While via frequenting SO (and similar, before that existed) you pick up this stuff automatically and it makes you reflect on programming which in turn makes you better. If you use your brain, that is.

If I could point to the flaw in both your and the article's arguments, it's trying to paint either as worse than the other.

Both are exceedingly bad. Both have proven exceedingly harmful (and, yes, useful, which is actually a reason why they're so perniciously harmful).

I never fell into Facebook's maw, though that's cost some inconvenience.

I've somewhat extracted myself from Google's, though still only partially:

DuckDuckGo for search. It's quite good, and I prefer bang search and actual, direct links rather than Google redirects. Though I still miss ranged date search.

OpenStreetMap for maps.

ProtonMail for email. It's not everything it could be, the client has some annoying limitations, and neither IMAPS nor POPS are supported. But at least it's not Gmail. There are other options as well.

My router blocks Google analytics, and a large set of other adtech hosts.

Despite being known as a critic of it, I use G+ heavily. With appropriate pruning and blocking, it's useful.
There was a bunch of popular posts about it on reddit yesterday. I would bet that is probably the most direct source of this post. Perhaps the podcast inspired the original reddit posters.
It's a touchy topic and I imagine people feel less comfortable discussing it than for example the latest Uber scandal.
