>Rather, we should resist our predisposition to attribute human traits to our creations

The whole idea behind AI is to add a human trait -- intelligence -- to machines. So, not only it's ok to attribute human traits to these particular creations, but this is the very reason they were created, and what we strive not just to attribute, but to actually give to them.

>and accept these remarkable inventions for what they really are—potent tools that promise a more prosperous and comfortable future.

Potent tools can also be used to a less prosperous and comfortable future. They've used many "potent tools" in WWI and WWII -- from airplanes to nuclear bombs.

Now imagine AI-cops, AI-surveillance, AI-armies -- including robotic-AI armies. Not sure what those machines will do if they get autonomous in some "singularity", but I'm pretty sure what the greedy, corrupt, etc bastards in power in various places around the world would use them for -- more restrictions, more control, more gain for their personal interests, more and easier wars for the side that has them, more terrorism for the sides that can hack one.
IANAL. This should depend on the contract you had with your ex-companies. My previous big company had a contract that stated that more than two of us could not leave the same time and work at the any same company for a period of 6-12 months.

I think if you and your friends worked together, but now, some amount of time has passed then, it should be fair enough.
Yeah it is broken.

But your 'testing' might get you call from the police. I would be more careful posting xss on live sites.
It could also be that they don't sleep in the sense of humans.

It was filtered by individuals but coordinated filtering was much more difficult -- a crucial distinction.
I stand corrected (and you have my upvote)!

I would say that a CEO’s authority and influence does need to extend well beyond the people they work with day-to-day (though I doubt this is a point of disagreement).

Do you have any thoughts on the parent discussion?
Oh, good point! Do .info, .name, .me, .io, etc. also cause problems like custom ones? Or do you just mean the newer ones like .services and .online and whatnot?
I think you just demonstrated the fat-tail balkanisation of the web - Brit here, never heard of this dude.

For many still, the first time they hear of someone outside their own bubble will be when e.g. old media invites them on as a guest, due to their Internet fame.
These people only know how to tear things down. I don't like FB or even Mark personally. But this is ridiculous and would not unfairly be characterized as sour grapes or simply not wanting progress at all to spite some good careers.

Society never moves at the pace of life. It always lags --even in command economies like China's or to a degree S Korea and Singapore. Adjustment takes time. At the same time as you point out, often times it's damned if they do, damned if they don't.

It's almost as if they would feel better if FB automated all the jobs away --not just manual labor low hanging fruit, but all jobs so that they would not have anything to blame on FB --except now everyone who used to work for them is now unemployed (presuming much of the industry learns from FB and also automates --in a purposely extreme example)
Sigh.

You throw around words like foolish, bias, rubbish instead of providing a well reasoned counter argument. So all you have done is dish out a middle brow dismissal, well done.

I am not sure it's a meaningful distinction. There are no triangles in the "real" world -- if you look close under a microscope, there will be more than three sides -- but geometry proves to be of great practical value just the same.
I'm referring more to people's tendency to dehumanize and hate another group.
Although I appreciate this kind of reasoning in general, I think it can be misleading when applied to animal behavior.

What prevents one of the reasons we sleep to be absent from the set of reasons jellyfish sleep?

Also, wouldn't it be surprising if a behavior as complex as sleeping had only one reason, or if the main reason today would be anything like the main reason back in the days were the common ancestor between us and jellyfish lived? And so, shouldn't we expect that we sleep for different reasons?

I'm not sure about fast food burgers but Japan has amazing hamburgers. I also think most bowls of the "house special ramen" at any major ramen store are probably 1200+ calories.

Even if that were the case if they included temps, contractors, etc. The towns brought that upon themselves due to their aversion to growth and 1960s suburban utopia idyll that remains in their master plans.
Out of the 10 or so TP concerts I have been to, the 2006 Gainesville was my favorite. There was just so much energy in the arena.
It's sad there are still many (including in this thread) who minimize the role of fast food outlets in raising obesity rates by appealing to some moralized and frankly religious notion of "personal responsibility."

What the science tells us is that if you put people in different environments, they will behave differently. Especially when the reward is designed to be as compelling as possible.

Obesity is one of the greatest epidemics in the world today. There is no reason why anyone should have to compete against thousands of food scientists trying to tear down their willpower as a matter of daily course. Their failure to do so is in no way a failure of "personal responsibility." It is a failure of the designers of their world to be on their side in the first place. To assert otherwise is not only cruelly ideological, but utterly unscientific.
Might be better off spending £5k+ on personal gifts for each decision maker than bothering with Web advertising if it's that few people you're targeting :-)

Ask HN: What if all code was suddenly open source?
There's this sort of thought experiment that's been in the back of my mind for the past few weeks.

Imagine every technology company, government, programmer, etc. is notified that all code that has ever been written is now going to be open source, licensed under the MIT license. Furthermore, new code will instantly be open sourced and MIT licensed as well.

Even if all of your code is served in an intranet and has no connection to the WWW, it doesn't matter, your source-code is now publicly available and easily accessible (read-only to the public). Don't worry about the cost or logistics; some perfect public entity with enough resources will be hosting it.

This, for some reason, is just accepted as the new reality. Private corporations like Amazon, for example, are now forced to play in this new competitive landscape of transparent, free software.

How do you think this would affect technology and the way we develop it? Do you think this would harm or improve society? What would the short term and long term changes look like?

Edit: Clarifying some of the language
I've only started using seriously in the company I just started in.

They gave me a good computer so I didn't have problems with the spinning up of the vms but I'm pretty sure that that load would slow my own computer to a crawl. I also can't say I'm a fan of the syntax of the Vagrantfile but that might be because I'm too used to docker-compose.

All in all, I think it's a good tool, but I think I'd use docker for most use cases, including the one I'm working on, but it's too late to change vagrant there.

VC Deal and Dollsr Volume Projected to Reach New Post-1990s Heights
I feel very reflected in this "slow code" interpretation. Instinctively, I try to refrain my self to implement this new feature that looks important but not urgent. The positive outcome is not only that you have more time to think about the proper approach but also eventually, some times, the feature shows it self not needed any more.
> interacts seamlessly and instantly

You clearly haven’t used WKWebView. It renders off-process, so actually data passi gbetween your native code and the JS contained in it is even slower. This is in addition to the many many many limitations due to the off-process nature of the system.
"The right answer to those failures should never be murder."

Many many years ago, a jury in Tennessee disagreed with your first claim, and literally took the law into their own hands in the courtroom against the government as they watched a persons rights get wholesale violated. That jury was flat-out exonerated IIRC. So there's legal precedent against your first claim and a good inherent pressure for your second claim. People would be far less likely to violate the law so egregiously if they knew that people could just kill them and walk away without a second thought of jail time.

You can be sued for pretty much _anything_.

Whether anybody is a) going to bother, and b) going to prevail - those are the important questions. (And note, even if the chances of b are vanishingly small, you most likely don't want a to happen if "anybody" includes large well funded organisations with practically unlimited legal budgets...

Those are not really 'points', though; they are far too trivial. Obviously, nothing counters them, because they are tautologies that could just as well apply to any subject.

The point is to explore a comparative difference in value, and that is realized through mastery of the tool, not merely living in a world where it exists.
I happen to agree. My post and my whole perspective comes as a teacher who has believed primarily for years that rote-learning stinks and critical-thinking and creativity should be the focus etc. And after years of pushing against the trends, I came to realize that the optimal balance is somewhere in the middle.

So, most of my students need me to be totally focused on critical thinking because so many other influences neglect it. But I still find there are times where it's just not the right approach.

Consider statistical learning and exemplar theory. Instead of learning principles, there's a strong argument that we learn by large quantities of examples until we naturally pick up the general patterns…
Every one's a victim, eh? Let's just make all "fast food" illegal.

does that include subway and Jimmy John's? What about Chipotle? How about pizza? Or Chinese takeout? What about Applebee's? Their burgers are pretty bad for you. Also we'd probably have to include kfc. Actually any place that sells deep fried chicken.

So I guess we should just outlaw all restaurants because people have no agency and can't make their own decisions.

But on a serious note, there are healthy people in America that exist within the same environment that you are blaming obesity on and that face the same societal pressures. Explain to me their magic that prevents them from being obese.

Surely the daydreaming about the prize comes from the interest in science rather than an interest in winning a Nobel taking someone down a scientific path? Had you been interested in drama you'd have dreamt of winning an Emmy.

The prize correlates with the interest. It's not a likely causal factor.
Well, all of his are that way when compared to the typical documentary. Anything he wrote (not just narrated) is superb, and if you compare the percentage of minutes that provide real value, you'll see it much higher than most documentaries. Note: I haven't actually done measurements, but I've watched nearly all of Sir David's originals and many others by other presenters/filmmakers.

The prototypical (actually extreme) example is in the original Life on Earth where he is at the bottom of the grand canyon and says something close to "these rocks are too old to have any fossils" and almost immediately cuts to a new scene where he says "Here in Lake Superior, we have rocks slightly newer, and these show the first fossils!". All the other documentary folks would have bullshit where they say, "so, we need to go to a different place…" and images of travel crap before they get to the point.
> so one can make a good decision

As in deciding not to order anything?

Joking aside, when is McDonalds a good decision? At least in Denmark where I live, you can get the same equivalent food (say a burger, fries and a soda) for half the price (if not even less) if you go to a supermarket and buy the stuff, and it will also be healthier (more good nutrients, less bad things). You can cut the cost even more if you decide to make everything from the ground up, and then it's even healthier than both the McDonalds and the supermarket alternatives.

I can see how something like coffee or ice-cream could be an okay choice at McDonalds, but the ignores the fact that the coffee is bad and the ice-cream isn't very good either compared to what you can get in other places.

McDonalds isn't ever a good choice. It might be the best out of a bunch of bad choices, though.
"This is not really a fair assessment"

Yes it is. Most people making an appeal wouldn't know what a prima facie case is. It is in fact how most self-done appeals fail in the first place. Most people don't know when they file for themselves to file pro se - a big failing for initial cases. Little technical crap like that which relies upon a dead language that only us geeks bothered taking in high school as their elective foreign language. WE get the advantage, the common person does not. Then to boot, we pretty much eliminated civics, so most people don't know how to file a lawsuit or defend themselves, let alone know the Latin terms to utilize in the first place!

And the NEW laws are still written in the OLD American English. No bueno.
I, on the other hand, would be stunned if I hired someone from my competitor (Absolutely okay in my book), they later find things he stole from his previous employer and then judge me for having them without needing to proof it.
While I know this is a beta and you’re solving a difficult technical problem, some of the limitations are concernig. With a system like dynamo, you can in most cases pay your way out of bottlenecks.

It would be nice to develop a way in Firestore for users to be able to pay for the number of shards assigned to their workload to reduce relatively artificial limits such as write limits within collections and index update rate.

That way, developers wouldn’t have to plan to leave the platform if their app is successful.
In places where food safety reg is weak, this definitely a reason people would consider western fast food vs local hawkers sidewalk food stalls. Only time I'll eat from a sidewalk food stall, if I can trust the ingredients, is if it's cooked in front of me at high heat and straight into a disposable container.
When talking about potentially inflammatory topics on the web, expecting the reader to "read between the lines" as you say is probably never a workable idea as there can be and are enough potential speakers across the entire spectrum of opinion that any intended meaning could be possible and potentially valid for "reading between the lines" (hence Poe's Law[0] and other challenges in the discussion of complex topics on the web when the range of speaker opinions and audience opinions is large and unknown).

No one ever expects Poe's law to apply to their own sarcasm, but unfortunately it always does.

Ask HN: What technology is involved in your data Warehouse/ETL process?

This sounds like StackOverflow question. Anyway, if you're proficient in Java, why don't you write small app which will iterate over all Git repo dirs, modifies the files, makes commit, push and creates PRs? Not a big deal, right?
I don't see that as a Trump specific thing. As mentioned in other comments, other facilities for the same purpose existed before. VOICE just makes it much more visible.

I totally disagree that this is an exaggerated historic comparison. As someone who grew up in East Germany, all the measures which restrict the individual freedoms, which were put into place, over the years, make me sad and angry. And having historical examples which show the bad effects of such policies in a very striking manner is in my opinion a very useful shorthand, instead of elaborately discussing a policy (with an expected outcome). Especially the effects of Stasi methods are well researched, so they are a very useful comparison indeed.

I just wanted to pint out that what the article discusses has very close parallels to what we know about the "usefulness" of the same methods in e.g. East Germany.

At first I was incredulous that they would make this claim, since it makes it appear they either failed to follow the literature enough to notice other researchers made the remarkable discovery of this system three years ago, or are trying history revisionism to claim that discovery as their own.
But I guess the operative word here is "human". The original research actually gets a small mention in the text body.

Another case of a small but valuable increment of research and nauseating treatment of the same by the spin department I guess.

The fact that in an experiment people changed their behavior based on environmental cues does not disprove the notion of personal responsibility. If you think you have disproven personal responsibility, then you have disproven free will. And if you have disproven free will, then who is your comment trying to convince?

That being said, the truth of this particular matter lies somewhere in the middle. It's personal responsibility and it's exploitation on the part of the fast food chains. Saying it's all one or all the other is equally wrong.
