You are the one who described inflation as "stealing from savers, and transferring wealth to the people who are the earliest recipients of the inflated currency". That is talking about purchasing power and not money supply.

There are certainly some situations when you want to encourage saving over spending and investing. However I would argue it is not an ideal stable state. It is more difficult for an economy to grow when people don't circulate money through spending and don't increase future productivity through investing.

The benefit of a central bank that can control the money supply is that you can adjust these things on the fly depending on what is happening in the economy. Bitcoin cannot adjust the money supply in reaction to the economy.

It's really unfair to the Russians to be grouped with such a poor liar as Donald Trump. His lies are all the same, and assuredly do not advance the art. If everything is always the worst or the best as in Trumpean narratives, there is no place for building to a climax, nor a proper denouement.

Thanks! Our functional goals are similar to NNVM (deep learning for all devices) but I don't know much about their technical approach. I think some of the developers are here in Seattle actually so hopefully we'll meet them at some point.

As far as differences vs TensorFlow, Keras, etc, we're not aiming to replace the developer-facing Python APIs. You can run Keras on top of PlaidML now and we're planning to add compatibility for TensorFlow and other frameworks as well. The portability (once we have Mac/Win) will help students get started quickly. It's much easier to write kernels in our Tile language than raw OpenCL or CUDA so we think this will help speed up research as well. On the throughput side we already outrun cuDNN in some cases and it's likely we can give Volta users a boost once we add support for its tensor unit.
I was at a top 1000 site and the senior product manager offered free dinner to be the first team to hit certain metrics (like pagespeed). He knew 100/100 wasn't useful but the difference between 50 and 90 for us was fairly significant. Are you chasing a number or what the number means? The latter is a good thing.
> I'm wondering if there are some ideas out there on tackling the deeper cause.

One rough way to think about it is I=PAT, where I is total environmental impact, P is population, A is affluence per capita, and T is environmental impact per unit of affluence.

Population has grown exponentially, per capita affluence has grown dramatically, and reductions in the last factor T haven't been able to keep up.

Worse, if you consider the "goals" of our major systems of economic organisation -
or at least the observed behaviour - they aren't set up to minimise I, or even really consider it - it's more like our ways of large scale cooperation are focused on economic growth, i.e. roughly trying to maximise P*A.

If you live in an affluent western "free market" democracy it is probably politically difficult to push for major reduction or limits to population P or affluence A.

In terms of what can be done, it's probably better to focus on smaller scope/smaller scale problems. Not realistic for one person to solve the whole world's problems. If you can help push politically to regulate environmental impact in your area of local politics, that's probably very helpful. Not necessarily aligned with skills as an engineer, but this is probably more valuable than building something within current political/market framework.

If you're able to set up a small business or not for profit that is able to help others save money with side effects of reducing environmental impact, that's probably also helpful. This is less ambitious and isn't tackling the main root causes, but is something that is more in your control.

The subsidies were not that huge (at least recently), in the scheme of things. The local manufacturers were basically given a much slower reduction of tariffs than other imports, starting 25-30 years ago. Australia has generally been ahead of the curve in reducing these, relative to most places.
I'd wait and see how this gets used before we assume Twitter is now pro-establishment.
So, without value-add industries, how will the economy of Australia function long-term? As an exporter of raw commodities? That has not worked out well... For pretty much every nation that's tried it.

Google acquires innovators, it doesn't innovate much itself. Everything new Google has launched since like... Chrome, has been an acquisition, or an integration of a couple of acquisitions together. (Sure, that work is not small, but at the point Google got involved, the innovative part was mostly over.)

Self-driving car team was picked up wholesale from a university, DeepMind was an acquisition, most of what Google Lens is was from an acquisition. Projects like Ara, Jacquard, and Tango were all from Motorola's ATAP division, which they acquired. Almost anything you see coming out of Google can be traced back to an existing thing that Google purchased, rebranded, and relaunched.

Paying people more takes Congressional action and costs money, above and beyond the pay those people would make based on rank, time in service, etc.

Signing an EO doesn't require Congress, and doesn't cost extra money. Plus, if you use the USAF pilot shortage to justify it to Congress, they might limit the numbers to the quantity you can justify as necessary for that purpose, and limit the use of whatever solution is adopted to USAF pilots. With this EO, there are no numerical or functional limits, the military can reactivate whoever it decides it needs.
>As it is now, it's just a tool for the police to criminalize whoever they feel like.

There is actually something to this. It's the latest moral justification for around-the-law searches. Last few decades it was drugs. Police can pretty much search anyone if they reasonably believe they have drugs. This can get stretched into anything, such has having a few hundred bucks in cash. This means police can stop and search just about any car.

Next it was terrorism, so police can warranty search anyone or anything at airports, bus stations, train terminals, border crossings, just about anything. These powers aren't limited to terrorist activities either, but terrorism was the justification.

Now, computers yield more information that vehicles, so police need a way to extend their powers to search anyone's computer. Enter child porn.

As a general rule, anytime the government prohibits or extends their power "for the children," it's a huge red flag. Child porn fits into this category. It's hard to object to expansion of power to battle this too. I mean think of the children (ignoring their dystopian future).
The company said it was able to determine how many viewers were streaming Netflix content through audio recognition software in the 44,000 Nielsen-rated homes across the United States.

Rossi's Metallic Laws of social program evaluation ( https://www.gwern.net/docs/sociology/1987-rossi ):

- The Iron Law of Evaluation: "The expected value of any net impact assessment of any large scale social program is zero."

- The Stainless Steel Law of Evaluation: "The better designed the impact assessment of a social program, the more likely is the resulting estimate of net impact to be zero."

- The Brass Law of Evaluation: "The more social programs are designed to change individuals, the more likely the net impact of the program will be zero."

- The Zinc Law of Evaluation: "Only those programs that are likely to fail are evaluated."
This is deep nostalgia for me. A bootloader and a toy ... kernel ... were the first things I ever wrote after leaving Apple II BASIC behind.

The local library had no books on anything other than BASIC and assembler. I didn't know what a higher-level language was - never even heard of C or Pascal or anything - I just knew that I didn't seem to be able to do a lot of stuff in BASIC. After a few hours at the library, I thought that assembler was the only option.

And that's how I spent that entire summer. Going over books on assembler that for some reason were in the library of a tiny Mississippi town.

Ralf Brown's Interrupt List made me giddy once I understood exactly what it meant. I still remember that day. It was in some TSR program that I could view while in EDIT.

Next year, I found out about Pascal, pirated a copy of TP(3? 5?) from my friend's dad and didn't touch assembler again until college. But I found the knowledge of how x86 worked useful for many years, even into my first real-world job.

God, I'm old.

We may have thought that we have something special that makes us particularly good at Go, better than machines- but AlphaGo[Zero] has shown that, in the end, we just have no idea what it means to be really good at it (which, btw, is a damn good explanation of why it took us so long to make AI to beat us at it).

I really like that interpretation!
I never had that problem. Sign up for a "regular" instance, and spend a little bit of time each day checking in, and you'll find people, and suddenly you won't have any problem not knowing who to follow once you've gone solo.
Learning about how to use such tools seems fine, but testing that in exams (and then worrying about whether the students are cheating, etc. etc.) seems completely misguided computer fetishization to me. YMMV.

If you want to get students to demonstrate their use of a CAS, give some real-world modeling problems, and then give them a few days to make a mathematical model (using the CAS, or whatever other tools they prefer) and write up a mini paper about it.
I don't think it's an inversion. The British Empire got materials from far off places like australia in exchange for manufactured goods, made in the centres of civilization where all the people are. You don't see Norway making stuff, you need more people (or less minerals) for that.

Yes, it's optimized for fast decompression. Compression, on the other hand, is comparatively expensive. This trade-off makes Brotli very interesting for static assets.

When we use this technique (known as "tailgating") to break into client sites, we always recommend that the organization try to foster a culture of "trust, but verify". This means employees stopping people if they don't have their badges displayed, or showing unrecognized people to the reception desk, or closing the door behind you to make sure the next person has to badge in, even if they have a badge that looks plausible.

It's not an easy thing to learn to challenge people, but it's vital to maintain a good physical security posture. Employees need to feel comfortable challenging those who they don't recognize, and making sure that employees are part of an organization's security team is important.

Simply Object-Oriented C
Yes.. but my thinking was not that that so much as the level of effort to research any topic.

Say, for example, you wanted to know how your representative voted. Or, you wanted to see how other universities planned for the March on DC January 20? Or, you simply wanted to know the preamble to the Constitution (which we now have on our phone but I know my family didn't have that at home).
When writing an opinion piece, at least in formal writing which has higher standards, writers are trained not to do that. At least in the writing classes I took ages ago.

At the time of the ratification, "arms" basically meant a weapon that could be carried by a soldier. The next larger class of weapons would be "ordnance", to include things like cannon and explosives.

It's also worth noting that the Constitution implicitly recognizes the civilian ownership of ordnance as well, through Article 1 Section 8: "To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water" granting letters of marque wouldn't make sense if individuals did not possess suitably armed ships.
This seems obvious to me, but maybe it isn't based on the implementations of body cameras I'm hearing about: the police should not have access to the videos! A camera should automatically upload its contents to off-site encrypted servers, with the courts having sole access to the decryption keys. No one should be able to access the data without a court order.

It's strange to me that, when faced with problems of official power vs privacy, people never seem to remember the idea of warrants, which are baked into our legal system and have been used to address privacy problems for centuries.
Exactly.

Part of the reason why people purchase or invest in these long term assets is because of expected future inflation. For example a 30 year mortgage with a fixed monthly cost would be a horrible investment in an economy with expected long term deflation. You would be much better off with paying the ever decreasing costs of renting rather than locking in a price that steadily costs more. This is why economist like small and steady inflation.
What's the thread model here? You lost your card/it was stolen, but you haven't noticed and canceled it yet? Isn't it more likely that your card data is scraped up in a data breach or something, in which case your card is still in your wallet? Even if it was very recently lost/stolen, you're not liable for illegitimate charges as long as you report them promptly, so wouldn't it be better to just keep track of your cards?
Keep in mind the "more free" places also tend to be much less dense in general (not just fewer HN readers, fewer people in general). So even if it's relatively geographically isolated where these rules exist, it still covers a substantial portion of Americans (including HN readers).

You would have to prove a) that it was evidence of a crime, and b) the police had reason to believe or know it was such.

In the absence of laws requiring full transparency and access to body cam footage, the body cams are just likely to be abused.
