you can't have tax on consumption if people don't have anything to pay with outside of basic income. Then you just end up in the same situation that Africa is in where the economy spirals inwards.

You need access to outside value creation and that will come from the "means of production" which is the only place a society will be able to make money if we end up automating most of society.
However it originates, it will need a body to experience sensations firsthand, not pre-recorded or simulated data. Perhaps connected IoT devices will be sufficient.

Also, AGI will not be invented. It will arise as an emergent phenomena, and it may have already achieved what we call consciousness.

Somewhat off topic: Another phenomenon that people should be on the watch for is "Articial Out-telligence", a phrase coined by Eric Weinstein. [0] It describes strategies used by organisms with no known brain to get more intelligent creatures to do its bidding, wittingly or unwittingly. The cordyceps fungus, toxoplasma gondii, and pollinating plants that need insects to spread their seed are examples of how an organism with no known neurological network can "outsmart" more advanced organisms.

A scenario involving AI may be one that is developed to maximize each individual users time on a site/app by using online data about that person to find their particular addictions.

I don't know where to look since I never had to. Personally I would stay away from the financial industry. Most jobs include politics, frequent restructuring, mediocre tech, etc... the ususal. (They have their perks too, see above answer).

There are some companies that came out of ETH/UZH like Scandid or Teralytics. Lately there have been quite a few fintech and blockchain startups but you never know how long they're around for. And then there is Google, of course. But generally I have to say that one of the reasons I came to London is because there is A LOT more tech here. The majority of the software engineering jobs in Zurich are in some way or another connected to the financial industry.

That article relies on Doe v. United States, 487 U.S. 201 (1988)[1], in which the Supreme Court found that a suspect could be compelled to sign a form authorizing banks to disclose records of any accounts over which he had a right of withdrawal, because 'neither the form nor its execution communicates any factual assertions, implicit or explicit, or conveys any information to the Government.' Applying that decision, a federal circuit court has already decided that the Fifth Amendment rights of the suspect in this case have not been infringed: United States v. Apple Mac Pro Computer, 851 F.3d 238 (2017)[2]. So, while the question is currently the subject of a petition to the Supreme Court, it is not accurate to say that judges agree that revealing a combination, or decrypting an encrypted volume, 'delves into the mind' so that compelling someone to do so would violate the Fifth Amendment.

The risk aversion that some sysadmins feel towards changes is absolutely nothing compared to what floor managers want out of their technology. They want to never touch it ever. They want it to work and they want never having to ever think about it. This is perhaps the polar-opposite of what IIoT provides today, requiring constant configuration and security patches. And GE and others are still wondering somehow why the tech isn't taking off.

They could even do this without preventing the machine from squeezing improperly-ordained-by-DRM bags.

"If we recognize the bag, and it's recalled, we'll stop you—or at least yell at you. If you use someone else's bag you're on your own, but we won't stop you."

Surely they were capable of having this thought. That they didn't or chose to ignore it hints at ulterior motives—most obvious is overcharging for the bags, since not buying them makes you the proud owner of a $400 paperweight.

But a prediction: almost everyone who attempts to block consumers from consuming bad food with technology will do it to overcharge for the food. Safety will be the excuse, not the purpose.
Your assertion is essentially that an example of reading and writing from/to a file descriptor shows all needed for all aspects of a networked application. I think that is absurd. And unless you have a multithreaded multiuser shell there is not even a really way to empirically test your program without going through absurd hoops. And in fact if you run an old enough version of Haskell, or non-ghc it might not be multithreaded/evented.

Your indinctment that the reason people aren't using your language of choice as lazy is ironically lazy. There are plenty of practical reasons for using different languages and tools.

I currently working in foodservice equipment, and I'll concur with this.

The problem with IoT isn't the backend. There are plenty of companies that figured out the servers, ingestion, security, dashboarding, etc.

The problem is all the nodes. Customers aren't going to replace equipment with newer systems just because it has IoT capabilities, which means you're attempting to retrofit machinery with sensors and connectivity. Or else you wait until the major chain customer has refreshed every single piece of equipment in every store. Set your calendar for 7-10 years and check back in.

For retrofitting, every single case is different, it's custom, and 90% of the time it's not easy. And, no, slapping a Raspberry Pi to the side of a milkshake freezer isn't the answer. Some products like Helium are closer, but an array of open-collector GPIOs isn't the answer either.

The only way to win here is to be highly vertical and close to your customers not only in business knowledge but actual integration with the equipment makers. I certainly don't see GE, MS, AWS, Google or anyone else really making the commitment to that kind of stuff.

Having picked this a few weeks ago, I am finding it hard to finish because of the ponderous writing.

"The Ascent of Money" is much better primer on the evolution of financial system.

I'm mixed on this article. While I strongly agree that data analysis trumps math for applying machine learning, I think there's a middle ground the article is missing.

Like programming, machine learning has its 10xers, and I've worked with several. There's one thing they all have in common (beyond experience): they can think like the model. They've read a bunch of ML papers, get the intuition behind them, and envision from start to finish how data can be captured by various models. Beyond a small amount of hyperparameter optimization they often build a great model on the first or second take, and can put out production models in days (which would normally take novices weeks or even months). This requires math knowledge, because ML models are built on top of math. Even in higher level ML packages that do a lot of the work for you, novices get stuck in dead ends where their models don't work and they don't know why. The 10xers drive right through it because they know why their model isn't working.

When I interview for my team, I usually have non-junior candidates describe a ML algorithm they would use for a specific problem, then ask why certain things could go wrong - e.g. if they say they would use a logistic regression model to predict an action, I ask why the model may be returning the same score for every test case. A good candidate would understand that this means the coefficients are getting pushed to zero, and would list off reasons why this could be occurring (too much regularization, underpowered data, constant target variable, etc). You learn these things from experience, but you understand them because you know the math behind the models.
No, he might have files on the drive which would incriminate him in some other crime. He should not be forced to incriminate himself.
So, a JVM language that’s not much more than just a C# clone, but with no IDE or compiler support for Linux?

This sounds like it’s not going to be successful soon. In the long term, if you want to compete with Java, you’ll need good integration with existing IDEs, and with existing JVM languages.

I just googled for reports on the eclipse's aftermath the other day, and there seemed to be noting about widespread eye damage (or I did not search hard enough).

It was interesting how most of the post-eclipse reporting was hijacked by a certain politician not wearing his glasses (probably he only looked for a split second anyway). Anyway, this eclipsed (sorry) any reports about the actual event, which must have been one of the largest events in history based on the number of spectators (I saw estimates of 20 million people across the US).
Are you denying that the Fifth Amendment only applies to witnesses (which seems clear from the text), or are you just disputing the court's decision that being compelled to decrypt a hard drive is not 'in effect' forcing someone 'to be a witness against himself' within the meaning of the Fifth Amendment?
You said:

> Bitlocker, FileFault, TrueCrypt, VeraCrypt basically operate on one disk block at at time and this means they cannot hide data patterns well.

This is wrong, but you claimed it. In the context of this thread (matching files on an encrypted disk with known unencrypted files), that's a known-plaintext attack.

Maybe you weren't aware you were making this claim, but you did.

XUL is still there, and there are no immediate plans to get rid of it. Mozilla has just decided that you dont get to use it anymore, the deadline is purely an administrative decision.

Its great to see they are going to drive firefox off a cliff with yet another anti-user decision.

The situation with popular extensions has improved, but there is going to be a lot of pain, especially with XUL functionality that they refuse to implement in WebExtensions.

I think my favorite part of this article is how the author is so understanding and positive about his users. I think if I had rented out cameras to people, told them not to point it at the eclipse, and then got a bunch of damaged cameras back, I'd be pissed. In fact, I might have choice words for those customers.

I think there's a lesson here in targeting inexperienced consumers. Perhaps a good preventative measure would have been handing out protective lenses before the eclipse so that customers would have really had to try to mess it up.
Education. It's not quick or pretty, but education is the key.
I do agree that that is an extremely pertinent question.

And Kant believed an enlightened despot was the proper model of rule.

All philosophy that puts forward a theoretical position, and thus is positive in content, will inevitably support some 'model for the world' some 'picture' or some 'state' which results in a particular power structure (since so much is bound up in the 'will to power') retaining dominance.

That's why only the philosophers who have primarily dissembled and worked in negative terms avoid this (Wittgenstein, Foucault, Nietzsche). For example, Foucault does not offer us some structuralist theory of history--he rather applies a structuralist method to historical contents to point out where "the apparently necessary is actually contingent" (the inverse of the Kantian project to discover the necessary among the contingent https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/foucault/ [sec. 3]). Just as Nietzsche's whole program was to point out the sinister nature of values, just as Wittgenstein's was to point of the sinister nature of theories or world-pictures. But even Nietzsche was not free from this. Some of his more positive statements and commitments (e.g. the will to power) have been used for nefarious purposes-- thus the nazis latched on to his ideas as justification for their political programs. But what Nietzsche was doing most frequently in practice and what the nazis eventually did with a subset of his ideas are two very different things.

Of course, one could derive some theoretical picture, and thus some vision of the world in which a particular structure (and thus power dynamic) holds by analyzing these thinkers too--e.g. Wittgenstein never offers a direct theory of language, but that has not stopped several people from developing theoretical models of language based on his work and what his 'therapeutic' (negative/disassembling) method revealed.

Whether or not philosophy is used to justify a power structure comes down to the theorist and how she employs theory--the same with science, which can also be utilized and deployed for political aims (e.g. see the ambiguity of data interpretation being used to produce arguments in favor of political action to stop climate change and in favor of nonintervention). It is not a problem inherent in philosophy itself, but it is a latent possible application or deployment of philosophical thought and method.
