This is a reasonable analogy too, but that does not help (me at least) to understand the position of the judge and prosecution.

Deciphering the letter would mean he writes down the cleartext version, or reads it out aloud or something like that, which could much more obviously be argued as "being witness against himself". Their position is that this is exactly NOT what they are trying to force him to do, so the fifth does not apply.
I've considered applying but I didn't like the idea of becoming a Perl developer to be honest. If they were looking for Go or Python developers I would probably have applied by now as I think Amsterdam is a great city.
Exactly. It is like running your own authentication system in production without deeper knowledge in CS. It works well, until it doesn't.

I can feel the pain with regards to Northern Ireland.

Though, it's hard to justify how Northern Ireland happen to become the UK’s poorest region, given how Ireland is more prosperous than the UK by the numbers.

The whole situation is hilarous IMO.

Its interesting that I can't find a comment in this thread that speaks to API design or how easy it is to use.
Probably worth bearing in mind: I seriously doubt many of the people they interacted with had _any conscious bias whatsoever_. I mean, explicit misogynists exist, but most of us just make judgements on incomplete information, sometimes badly.
I agree that child pornography should not be illegal to possess, only to make or profit from the distribution.

My theory goes: if you're not a pedophile, I don't think stumbling upon child porn will make you one, just like watching violent movies won't make you a violent person. If you are a pedophile already then seeing child porn may be a way out of actually harming children, just like watching gore movies be a way out for some sexual fetish with corpses.

We should be going after abusers (obviously) and people who actually profit from distribution, which add an incentive for child abuse even for people who are not pedophiles, just desperate for money.

Having pictures on your computer without an intent that could cause harm should not be illegal.
Nope, just means that they didnt measure that particular metric.
It gets better over time.
Totally, especially when we care about those people and when we value their opinions.

More like farming, harvesting of other natural resources and electricity generation, long-distance transport infrastructure, warehousing, and actual housing for many of the people who commute into London every day to provide vital labour but can't afford to live there.

London makes a lot of money because it's dominated by high-return service industries, most famously the financial sector based in the City. It includes relatively little in the way of production, manufacturing and storage, which don't scale as well but are obviously essential to everything else being possible.

As an Indian it always amuses me to see folks in western nations tying themselves in knots over the vegeterianism debates. The possibility of eating a 100 percent veg diet never raises the kind of reaction that I see around here since its a way of life for a huge number of people in India.

There are a wealth of lentil protiens, plants and fruits supplemented by milk based side items like yoghurt and cottage cheese which provide for the possibility of having a vegan only lifestyle. This is more driven by meat centric recipes and food culture prevalent here and the subsequent lack of vegeterian food culture. There are bazillion recipes involving yellow, green, black lentils of all kinds, chickpeas, beans, dried peas, okra, eggplants, multiple gourds, there are tons of veggies I barely remember the english names of and then the whole gamut of wheat breads. naans, rotis, flaky fried pan breads coupled with all kinds of rice preps, basmati rice, biryanis, the pilafs and pulaos, coconut, maize etc etc. So not only there are tons of vegeterian options, there are all great tasting options. Here eating vegan is like "meh tastimg food".

In my home backnin Delhi, cooking chicken was reserved for special occasions once or twice a month and the daily diet was all Vegan. It was only after I moved abroad was the need to have a "meat protien" daily became part of the conversation. Everytime I hear this debate I go like, "you guys have no idea how good tasting vegeterian food can be outside your country". I see that its driven historically by availability of meat recipes only and meat has played a central part in western cuisines. For me, I can easily glide into full Steak and Pork chops chowing mode from pure vegan recipes for a full month without skipping a beat just because I have exposure to a larger set of cuisines and recipes. or it may just be an Asian thing.
I wonder if a female name with the same words attached would be met much differently? Maybe they responded to the personality, not the gender.

I think I would, without any malice, relate more closely to someone who was a tech type rather than a business/sales type, regardless of gender.
To provide a different perspective, I got exponentially better at my job when I decided to embrace deliberate memorization. I sort of have these mental patterns of "irreducible complexity" built up--things I couldn't or wouldn't have gotten organically, because I memorized half-understood or not-immediately-useful-but-promising-looking things until I could lock them together, like holding up a two legged table until I could find a third leg. I came to think of them like mental scaffolding. The scaffolding ended up discarded in the end, but I wouldn't have the building without it.

I think you misread; the government doesn't know the password. Nor are they interested in the password, per se; they are interested in the contents of the suspect's hard drive. Therefore, rather than ask for the password itself, which is information contained in his head and therefore arguably "testimony", they are merely compelling him to perform an "action" in decrypting the drive; he is free to keep the secret of the password itself.

No one claimed gobject c was simpler to write than c++. That would be a foolish claim.
it's not possible to decide if something was a good decision or not by looking at realised performance over a short time scale.

having a portfolio that is entirely concentrated in the S&P will have less risk adjusted expected reward than one that allocates a bit in some other buckets as well (e.g. international shares). c.f. the book "random walk down wall street".

If all birds are dinosaurs, then what's the distinction between a dinosaur and a bird? Well, there used to be dinosaurs who weren't birds.

Likewise, there are compilers I wouldn't call transpilers.
I feel that those who argue that any approach other than running human brain emulations and then reverse engineering them or speculatively modifying them is the most likely way to get to AGI has a pretty steep hill to climb in order to justify that point of view.

Nothing else that is going on now or even on the agenda or even foreseeable offers a plausible, definitive plan to get to AGI. Whereas brain emulation is clearly going to achieve that goal fairly shortly after the maps are good enough and the computational capacity large enough, and the following experimentation is a far more reliable way to determine the underpinnings of intelligence than present efforts at de novo construction.
I don't think the different interests group is being remotely dishonest. Their started claims are pretty consistent with what you would expect from someone who is skeptical of the discrimination hypothesis. Namely if discrimination isn't the primary driver of gaps in tech, pushing for equal representation is going to pressure some women into jobs they don't really want and prevent some men from getting jobs they want. As for dishonesty, the discrimination hypothesis group can't even seem to debate the issue without misrepresenting their critics and accusing them of bigotry (for example, the reporting and comments here regarding the Google memo). I don't want to get into a tit-for-tat, because I'm sure discrimination skeptics have some pretty silly or dishonesty arguments as well, but dishonesty seems like the rule for discrimination hypothesis folks, not the exception. I'm happy to agree to disagree on this point since it's not likely to go anywhere productive.

Regarding the "just look at other cultures" point; that actually supports the different-interests hypothesis, because those other cultures are almost always those cultures with the least gender equality. The countries with the greatest score on the gender equity index have larger gender occupation gaps. The discrimination hypothesis actually fails to explain this, while the different interests hypothesis does a pretty good job.

Lastly, given that women achieved parity with men in law and medecine in the 80s and 90s (fields during a time that were far more hostile to women than now); women didn't need special programs, diversity officers, scouting programs, pipeline investment, etc, none of which are significantly helping tech now. The discrimination hypothesis fails to address this as well.

Hopefully this at least makes it clear that there are legitimate reasons to be skeptical of discrimination. At worst I'm simply wrong, not dishonest.

But they are not asking him to testify, admit guilt, or anything like that. They aren't even asking him to tell them the password, just to enter the password to decrypt. This is more like expecting access to your house when a search warrant is provided.

EDIT: To be clear, it's not that I feel he should necessarily be compelled, but rather that a fifth amendment defense is weak in this case, since it's not a testimony at all, but rather revealing already existing material (as opposed to compelling the defendant to write a confession).
Yes, the chrome/ff extension.
DNS CAA – This not so new security mechanism becoming mandatory in September
The flaw in your logic is that you assume any important outcome of said study will be seen as valid by the people in power who can do something about the results of the study. Many high power people in the government actively try to present scientists as liars and frauds, and you think we should just let the data speak for itself? How's that working out so far?
Yea, this has been a sort of "no shit, sherlock" thing for me. Especially when it comes to alcohol consumption. It effects so many systems in the body, especially neurological. Not only are there toxic metabolites but high dose or chronic alcohol (ab)use will significantly alter the expression of many receptor proteins within the glutamate systems which are vital when it comes to memory and cognition.
When it comes to actual food, again it's a no shit situation. We need a large variety of different nutrients for our systems to operate. We can synthesize some stuff on our own, but all of the raw materials come from the diet. If some components are missing for any part of our neurological systems whether they be transmitters, proteins, or even fats to build cell membranes (which change properties with different ratios of available components) then those systems will not be operating as well as they could be.
why not raise the price of water...vs adding a tax?
I agree. When we think of it as a cyphered letter, it is more clear to me that the government is compelling him to incriminate himself. So instead of collecting evidence, they are forcing him to provide evidence, which to me is a clear 5th amendment violation.

When we use the safe analogy, well safes are easy to open, no big deal. The government opens them all the time. Why is that such a huge leap? Using the incorrect analogy muddies the real issue here IMO.

This is something that really needs supporting proof (in so much as there is proof of any economic estimate). I'm sure a convincing case could be made for the contrary. A relatively small investment in a neglected transport system in Leeds (for example) may well yield greater returns.
Agreed. Joe will end up in jail because his blog had a comment section. What about Facebook? Are they going to put Facebook in jail?
Mechanical Sympathy by Martin Thompson

Whether a right is “clearly established” has nothing to do with the officer’s knowledge, but whether courts have clearly held that the right exists in novel scenarios. The (somewhat misguided, in my opinion) premise is that we don’t want officers philosophizing about abstract legal principles, but rather there has to be appellate or Supreme Court case law they can apply to the situation at hand.

Just like airplanes, the first few planes costs the most due to R&D and then the rest are just for materials + labor. The harm has already been done, and I doubt the guy has the originals.

If he's financially supporting the abusers by purchasing the pictures, then they should be prosecuted if there's proof, but is there really any harm done if the number of copies of a picture goes from 10,000 to 10,001?

> I'd be surprised if this "community" could gather money for anything remotely useful.

You can't go right by starting an "attack" on a bunch of people of very diversified backgrounds and ideologies.

> Also: I'd like to see the outcome of a fundraising, and the demographics of the donators, to see how many pledge outside of CA, and outside of the USA. This would give me an impression about the extent of the Trump is Satan and the world is about to end mindset.

If you are not my ally then you are my enemy. I'm really sick of this ideology. There is a whole set of people interested in green tech that have exactly 0 opinion in politics let alone Donald Trump.

> Just to make it clear: I'd not give a single penny for it, I care for the health of US citizens only as much as they care for the health of citizens of other countries.

This is just plainly and unnecessarily aggressive. It's like the "non-existant" fund-raising is relying on your donation. No it isn't. Just like the rest of the 7 billion humans and hundred of millions of other companies and entities.
Exactly, but the original quote doesn't say that they compared decrypted content with known hashes. It doesn't say anything about how they learned about the "content stored on the encrypted hard drive".

"Investigators said content stored on the encrypted hard drive matched file hashes for known child pornography content."

I read it like this: They figured out that the disk had some incriminating files, as I described in another comment of this thread.
To make this work hashes are of no use, they need the original files.
For various reasons they might not want to admit that they are in possession of the original files, hence the cryptic and vague phrasing.
I've even been using these rules here to work on making the Debian distro rootfs.tar.xz times we provide for Google Cloud Platform reproducible.

That was really interesting.

I'm interested why he's so pessimistic about the simulating a brain approach. Yes it's the boring and obvious approach but it also seems the most direct.

Also found this quote interesting

That really puts a face on greed's victims. Thank you.
It's called the self driving car - an AI that interacts with the world. It will be a launching pad to other AI agents.

I think this is not the hill you want to die on. Everything points to this guy being guilty and the court of public perception would not be on your side. Though it does seem possible that they are using this case to set a precedent for future, less clear-cut cases.
I don't know your situation, but I can't help thinking that some of the attitude you describe is more perception than reality.

One of the things even our current government has managed to say reasonably clearly is that people from the EU who are living and working here legally today will be welcome to stay post-Brexit. They're quibbling over details, because that's what politicians and diplomats do, but I don't think anyone serious is suggesting that someone like your partner or her son should lose out here.

Similarly, there are some very nasty racist/xenophobic people in the UK, and sadly there always have been, and it looks like there are similar unpleasant undercurrents in various other places around the EU as well. However, exactly none of the Leave voters I know would be among those people. There seem to be plenty of reasons people voted Leave that have nothing to do with the immigration issue or somehow wanting to "throw out" citizens from other EU states. One group of people I talked to before the vote were even tending towards Leave for exactly the opposite reason: they had nothing against reasonable immigration, but didn't see why the EU should have an advantage over, say, someone similarly qualified or connected but from the US or Australia, and they wanted the whole immigration and visa system to be forced to update for the 21st century. (Possibly an optimistic view of the likely outcome, but a reasonable enough position in principle, IMHO.)

I am not ashamed to be British because of the Brexit vote, but I am sad about how it's been portrayed particularly in the media and by a rather unpleasant part of the Remain contingent online, because I think it makes some people feel far less welcome here than they still are by most Brits.
I disagree. It's too expensive to run a low level brain sim. In the meantime deep learning based AI achieved superhuman or close to human results in many tasks, such as image recognition, voice recognition, translation, car driving and Go.

The AGI will be a reinforcement learning agent, as it will need to be able to perceive and act in the physical world. Thus the path to AGI is the path of RL. The most essential piece in RL will be the development of environment simulators. AlphaGo was a trivial simulator - simple rules in a simple world - but we need real world simulators in order for the AI agents to learn to act. Fortunately simulation is almost the same as gaming and there is huge interest in it both for humans and AI, so it will be developed fast.

So instead of simulating the brain, simulate the world (imperfectly) and run deep neural net based RL to learn to act on top of it.
When he says "artificial life", is he referring to reinforcement learning?
