the cable industry only got off the ground and youtube only got off the ground by willfully ignoring copyright laws and engaging in a get big quick while stalling litigation strategy.

if "piracy" is the only way for superior distribution platforms to succeed then there is clearly something wrong with the laws.

i think you are probably right that requiring non-discriminatory licensing (i.e. whatever licensing deal you offer to one party you have to offer to anyone on equal terms) would be a fair and reasonable way to foster competition and innovation while reasonably compensating copyright holders.

Do content writers need this type of Websites?
I want to understand from content writers perspectives do they need automation (approvals, the pipeline for posting on schedule time to different-2 mediums, a dashboard to manage content dates, testing various versions of same content)? I know most of the blogging web is powered by WordPress & there are many plugin & utilities are there to help content writers? Websites like contenttools.com , contenttools.co
Ok, but how long did it take to find a polynomial algorithm for primality checking (published in 2002)? [1] And NP-complete problems are even harder than that! The history of mathematics is rife with conjectures that would be considered true if viewed "scientifically", but have an extremely large counterexample that disproves the whole thing. [2]

My two cents: I'd think that it probably would be, if you could freeze its physical state and repeatedly apply it to single static images and measure it's response and do gradient descend on that.

But in reality the brain is stateful and noisy and works on a stream of images. Even if now and then, by sheer accident, for a short time, your brain might be mislead, it surely wouldn't go like "well I was pretty sure that was an X, but just now Y is scoring higher than X, so I'll just flip my opinion on that in an instant".
And here is a reference to what I mean by non-standard methods.

It's a bit subtle. What they found is that the polymerease step (the actual duplication) is independent, but the helicase step (this unwinds the original double strand DNA) has some sort of mechanism to limit the difference between the two strands.
* If my colleagues don't have to understand how do deploy applications properly, their work is simplified greatly. If I can just take their work, put it in a container, no matter the language or style, my work is greatly simplified. I don't have to worry about how to handle crashes, infinite loops, or other bad code they write.

* We have a whole lot of HTTP services in a range of languages. Managing them all with fat binaries would be a chore - the author would have to give me a way to set port and listen address, and I have to keep track of every way to set a port. With a net namespace and clever iptables routing, docker can do that for me.

* sometimes, I have to deploy and insecure app. Usually, it's a badly configured memcache or similar. With net namespaces, I can make sure only a certain server has access to that service, and that the service cannot ruin my host server.

* Its possible for me to namespace everything myself with unshare(1) and "ip netns" and cgroups and chroot and iptables... but that would consume all my available time. Docker can do that for me.

* When you reach more then 20 or so services to keep track of, you need tools to help you out.

* load balancing. Luckily, I don't have to deal with extreme network loads which would require hand-made solutions, but just pushing up that number a little to do ad-hoc load balance makes things a lot easier.
I can see python being very useful for this, but perhaps ruby would be a better fit? I can't help but wonder if lively.next+ruby on the truffle vm might not be able to steal a lot of attention, and kick off a bit of an "old-style" / message-passing object oriented revival... One can hope...

In that case, look at the forex fixing scandal for inspiration. The exchanges reported entirely correct data -- the problem was that banks (allegedly) executed intentionally bogus deals because that only cost a bit of money in comparison to the large amounts of money that they made as a result of manipulating the reported data.
As a non-smartphone user, or as I call them zombies, I have some bad news for life on the other side...

When you are not one of them, dealing with them in public can be extremely frustrating, simply walking along the street at a normal non-zombie pace takes considerably more effort than it did 10 years ago because it's one way navigation problem... it's like that film "Surrogates" where Bruce Willis breaks the mould and goes out into the real world to walk among the surrogate robots, it's basically the same problem (insensitivity to their surroundings), that film was spot on, the only difference is that it's little glass rectangles and mind manipulation instead of robot surrogates.

That's the most obvious example, but it extends to everything that people do in public, simple things like waiting for someone to get on a bus, trying to cross the road, trying to go through a door, and even driving... it's gotten to the point where rather than simply an annoying distraction, smartphones are now the main focus for many of these people and the real world is a distraction. The other day I got a scornful look from a woman in her car as I was forced to beep my horn multiple times to prevent her from rolling into me as she was staring down intensely at her phone at a traffic light, as if the urgency of crashing came second to her fucking facegram feed, it makes me want to slap people around the face to wake them up. I hate hating people but it's impossible to avoid this now.

Then again, I've never been a smart phone user, so perhaps this difference is more noticeable to me than those coming back to the real world.

How would the users blacklist the miners using the newer inflationary protocol? Is it even possible? By design, the longest blockchain wins, and that would be the one with the inflation if the majority of miners agreed.
Wait, that can’t be wrong because that is literally what DO does. It is a convex hull regularizer around the network activations using noise. That is also why dropout does not solve susceptibility to adversarial examples: It merely extends the regions that the NN generalizes to outward; but that is limited because high-dimensional spaces are counter-intuitively large and the noise required to cover a descent fraction of the “unmapped” space would completely prevent learning. AFAIK, Yarin Gal merely provides a Bayesian interpretation of the noise.
I thought the point was that dropout effectively learns an ensemble of all... erm... subtopologies (if that's the right word) of your network?

The main invention here is being able to write a function as drop dup (^2) + (^2) - abs, meaning the same as fn(x,y,z)=>( x * x + y * y - abs(y)).

But, it does not read at all naturally for a concatenative language. The first two atoms (drop, dup) work in the usual fashion (directly and immediately affecting the stack). Then, the (^2) is just a syntactic input for the + after it, which is now an infix operator, also consuming the (^2) after it. But these _still_ don't yet affect the stack, as the - is also consuming atoms and it consumes the final abs. Then, the expression so built is run against the current stack. It gives the impression of elegance and flexibility by throwing away the very thing that makes concatenative languages what they are.

There are better solutions, like using a scratch space (like the return stack, given in another comment) or otherwise explicitly making given atoms input or output from/to a non-default location.

Please make the search textbox always visible. Most of the times I go to Netflix.com is to see if it has the movie I want to see. (I live in Sweden, Netflix is pretty small here)

And going to the front page of Netflix, clicking the Search icon is not a pretty experience. What happens next is a chuggy chuggy animation of the textbox gliding out, and typing in it is a disaster of input lag.

On the other hand, smartphones in cars are very useful for navigation, with real-time feeds of traffic congestion, voice control, and so on. I know you can do this with a dedicated navigation system, but I've never used one as good as what's built into every modern Android device. You just have to be disciplined enough to use it only for that purpose while driving.

I know what you mean though. Yesterday I was stuck behind a car doing 50 on a 70 road, and as I overtook I saw the driver was busy fiddling with their phone while they should have been paying attention to the road. Especially dangerous at that speed of traffic! Thankfully, I've found this sort of behaviour to be a rare occurrence.
Mostly in countries that have a national healthcare system, as the government has to pay directly for the harm caused by corporations to its population's health. This applies to the coal and oil/car industries, too.

However, one could argue that even countries such as the U.S., which have a private healthcare system are negatively impacted by harmful industries like these, because the citizens pay for healthcare when they could be paying for something else. But the effect is not as direct, and it may not be as big either, as the government can still profit from taxes in the private healthcare industry and so on.

That is not a very distinctive difference. Note that it's also not that easy, at least in the developed world, for a Reserve Bank to change the issuance because it has to make sure that the inflation is under control to ensure financial stability, plus there are many other checks and balances in place including legal & regulatory policy, input from economists / researchers, ...

The interesting part of the Bitcoin experiment is that so far it has had a very large inflation. This has been decreasing, and the critical part of the experiment will determine if a deflationary currency will work or not. My guess is that it might be in danger of collapse as miners will not want to mine it due to lack of incentive, meanwhile users would not want to transact since most will be hoarding it. Which is when the issuance rate might need to be fixed just to keep the miners rewards going...at least, it's one of the scenarios to consider...

Ask HN: How do you take idea notes / voice memos / reminders to yourself?
Do you use just paper, Email drafts or any special apps? And how do you remember where you have noted down some specific thought or idea?

I've tried several apps like Evernote, Trello, Asana or voice Memo apps ... Also I am maintaining like 2-3 ToDo lists on paper troughout my home. But in the end I often loose tasks, or interesting ideas come up again like 2 months later and I cant remember where I already wrote about it.

What Tools do you use?
Well, yeah, that is kinda the point of inflation, to stop people from storing their value in money and instead use it and invest as to not loose value. If we had permanent deflation nobody would invest because the most reliable way to not loose value is to simply keep money and not invest it.

Petty criminal, probable drunkard.

Workplace accident, I wouldn't say criminal.

Probable drunkard, not criminal (I also once made a ethernet ladder, yes it does not work well, no I didnt use it at a deadly height)

Not criminal, a bit silly. Funny because racism. I'd guess alcohol related.

Not criminal, probably alcohol involved, just a vehicular accident.

1 and 3 I'd also say involved mental illness. True if you want to be harsh we don't want the mentally ill or those susceptible to drug abuse to breed. I kinda think killing them off is not great why not just sterilize them?

Larry Walters who this story would have been inspired by (Not sure why people are saying the movie Up) also got a honorary Darwin award. He killed himself eventually. So he had issues I guess. But he was a legend as far as I'm concerned I'd prefer a world full of him over people making fun over people dying.

We studied imitone before working on Reedom — it's a great and inspiring project. The approach and use cases are slightly different. The main difference is the realtime: imitone mainly focuses on realtime, while we didn't see much value in that.

I agree that this claim is false: “If you study chess, then you will be a better trader.”

On the other hand, I do think it’s beneficial to exercise the muscle of strategic thought and quick decision making. Maybe it’s poker instead of chess. But I think the general class of hobby is beneficial.

> "Air pollution suspected for sharp rise in China lung cancer rate"

Well yeah, no shit.

I went to Beijing once, a couple years ago, for a 2-day business trip. The air looked like the photos in this article. I came home with a cough that lasted 2 weeks. The (rich, expat) people I met on that trip sent their kids to schools whose building were ensconced in pressurized tents, and virtually all said (when I asked) that they were taking steps to get out of China, specifically and solely because of the air (I don't think they had the option to move to another part of China with cleaner air, like Shenzhen).

I don't have any specific solution ideas pertaining to the problem, but it was pretty crazy to witness.
Next year I am going to ditch my phone and just have a watch instead. One of the things I want to explore is how many things I can do with voice commands and hopefully some ideas pop up.

XML has way more surface area than HTML, you could only query a small subset of valid XML documents with CSS. Plus, these days nobody uses XML parsers for HTML anymore, their behavior has diverged; things like behaviour of unclosed elements, valid children tags, are defined in the HTML spec and not possible in XML.

"saying RT is not legitimate news is comparable to me saying CNN is state propaganda of US"
It is comparable, so let's compare - both are statements, one of them is true and one of them is false. RT is not legitimate news, because made up stories are not news. CNN is not state propaganda of the US, because - as far as I know, please do correct me if I am wrong - it is not a state-owned, state-run, state-financed news channel. There is no US institution that sets the agenda of the CNN. Also, my impression from the American media landscape is that the media do shovel loads of (well deserved) abuse on president Trump - state propaganda would not allow that.

"Propaganda, by the way, is a tool used by all governments"
Yes, but not all governments have the same legitimacy and the same aims. If you are looking for an American equivalent of RT, you won't find one; the closest you get is probably Voice of America, Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty, which were instrumental for Eastern European dissent during the Cold War, but are not very relevant anymore.

Ridiculing is a form of shaming. It might even be the purest form of shaming.

Shaming is to make one "embarrassed or guilty because of one's actions, characteristics, or associations."
