Hi, I've tried to find some way of contacting you, looked though your post history but nothing came out.

I'm interested in joining your freelancer group, and see whether I could be useful to some of your customers.
As others have mentioned, remote work from sites like Elance/Upwork and PeoplePerHour (I'm currently in both) has dwindled in the last years, and by now most of my work comes from repeat customers instead of new leads from there.

I guess your customers ask for web development: the last finished job that I can show you is a balloon sculpture design tool for a business in Australia:

If you are correct, then it's interesting that so much effort is/was put into organized trolling by hostile state actors, if it has no pay-off. Why would that be?
It's still regulatory capture, but you're probably right about the small company exception. The biggest effect is probably to make it easier for a German social network to thrive over a foreign one looking to move into (or stay in) Germany.

So, again, it's probably going to reinforce information bubbles as places to share thoughts and ideas will stay tied to a nationality and/or small.

> ...this is a bad excuse for giving up trying at all.

I think all of Western Europe is struggling with information bubbles as surprising election results have been happening one after another. Is it "giving" up to not double down on that phenomenon?

>The Cartesian self-centered rationalism leads to schools of thought that do not cognize outside of their own constructed worlds, ignoring actual every-day life experience. It applies criticism to its own artificial world until it exhausts itself in meaninglessness. In reaction to the educated elites, the masses give rise to the Second Religiousness, which manifests as deeply suspicious of academia and science.

>The Second Religiousness appears as a harbinger of the decline of mature Civilization into an ahistorical state. The Second Religiousness occurs concurrently with Caesarism, the final political constitution of Late Civilization. Caesarism is the rise of an authoritarian ruler, a new 'emperor' akin to Caesar or Augustus, taking the reins in reaction to a decline in creativity, ideology and energy after a culture has reached its high point and become a civilization. Both the Second Religiousness and Caesarism demonstrate the lack of youthful strength or creativity that the Early Culture once possessed. The Second Religiousness is simply a rehashing of the original religious trend of the Culture.

There may be workarounds for every single issue, and as a techie I could do them, but I pay specifically not to have to spend time & energy on any of that.

So it is not about freedom and liberty - it is about who will control what people speak and who will determines what is legal or illegal. Since these major monopolies like Facebook or Google are much stronger than many traditional states, they can do whatever they want by simply blaming a country in not doing what they were said to do. Now these corps are so large that they want to test how it works with larger countries like Germany.
> money supply isn't large enough, so Bitcoin, like gold, becomes a store of value and is useless as a currency.

This isn't true though, the supply of the money has no relation to whether or not something becomes a store of value. The key attribute is that it's finite (deflationary).

However, I need to say that a finite currency isn't deflationary forever, it can only be deflationary until there is no more demand for the currency, which has to happen at some point, then the currency becomes stable and mature.

The money supply is important as well, bitcoin is infinitely divisible (easy network upgrades possibly required) so for all practical reasons money supply (liquidity) will never be a problem for bitcoin, but it has been a problem for every single currency which came before. Gold especially because it's expensive to deal with changing and re-issuing the money supply each time you want to add liquidity.

Today, it's much easier with digital banking but liquidity is still not 100% all the time so when liquidity needs to be added or removed, it's done in unnatural ways, which leads to instability in markets.
Unless you make a popular anti-Hillary hashtag, in which case that will get silenced as soon as the execs find out about it.

https://twitter.com/AmirAminiMD/status/925810690518147072

I don't remember the exact hashtag, but the one where people talked about her fainting in public was also censored. That story BLEW UP everywhere and the hashtag itself was very popular with many tweets coming-in every second, but it was nowhere to be found on the Twitter trends.
I use autocorrect because it lets me type sloppily enough that I would make a lot of spelling mistakes without it, frequently making words unintelligible. Of course, I could type reasonably accurately if I slowed down, but in theory, with autocorrect I can type faster and still end up with the right text most of the time. Yes, miscorrections happen, more often than I'd like, but not enough that avoiding them would be worth even a small speed penalty; virtual keyboards are slow enough as they are.

…On the other hand, my teenage younger sister has always used her phone with autocorrect disabled (just because she doesn't like the capitalization), and she types pretty quickly. Maybe it's just a matter of training yourself with autocorrect off, and eventually you can type accurately while keeping the same speed. But I'm not sure. There's no doubt that training would help, but can it make up the full difference, compared to a user well-trained with autocorrect on? (…And for that matter, if I care about speed so much, shouldn't I switch to a swipe-style keyboard? But that's a separate discussion.)

Anyway, the fundamental problem is that without the tactile feedback of a physical keyboard, it's much easier for your fingers to get misaligned, so the relative positions of the taps might be reasonably correct but the absolute positions are totally messed up. Even though you can see when you make a typo, humans have pretty high latency in responding to visual feedback, and you only get the feedback after the fact (whereas on a physical keyboard you can feel if you're in the wrong place before you've actually pressed down on the key). It seems more efficient to just type the whole word at once, and even if you were misaligned, most of the time autocorrect will figure out what you meant. (Especially if you keep going with the sentence, which can change previous words after they were seemingly finalized. I used to go one word at a time, stopping to correct any word that turned out wrong, but after I learned to trust autocorrect a bit more I realized that some of those corrections were unnecessary. This applies especially to the word "its", which autocorrect likes to change to "it's" but will often change back when appropriate.)

Actually, I make typos on physical keyboards too - which I'd like to think is just a side effect of being a fast typist, though I'm probably less accurate than most - but my impression is that those are more often timing rather than positioning related, and I can often tell they've happened by feel alone, letting me hit option-delete to redo the word immediately without waiting for visual feedback to go through my head...

> The president is not constitutionally incapable of committing crimes

I doubt the president will ever be arrested or tried in a traditional court while holding office. If the president was literally murdering people in public, Congress would have to have an emergency session, impeach the president, remove the president from office, then there'd probably be a trial somewhere that got appealed all the way up to the Supreme Court to decide if it was a valid trial.

"The Constitution does not answer every question. It includes detailed instructions, for instance, about how Congress may remove a president who has committed serious offenses. But it does not say whether the president may be criminally prosecuted in the meantime."

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/29/us/politics/a-constitutio...

> So, yes, Presidents can definitely break the law, including laws that have to do with speech.

There's a legal theory that the president, while serving the duties of the office, is given certain immunities. This is why the president doesn't always respond to subpoenas and why the local government can't issue a search warrant for Air Force One, etc.

caveat: I am not a lawyer, though from my reading this isn't a matter of settled law anyway, so even lawyers are speculating.
Burn in is a problem with all OLED displays, like it was with plasmas.

Having said that, the screens that I use the most are all OLEDs and they are amazing displays, the best displays I ever had.

If you are careful there is no such a problem. It is going to be a big problem if you use the screen outdoors because you will have to ramp up the display intensity. This is the reason Apple recommends using the ambient light sensor, because most people are indoors most of the time, with orders of magnitude less light intensity for the screen to compete.

And being outdoors there is a significant difference living in Madrid,Spain or Saudi Arabia with more than 300 extremely sunny days per year, or living in Frankfurt or London, when most of the time is cloudy.

We should have to wait to other screen technologies for "having it all". Looks like Samsung real electroluminescent QLED will be as good as OLED without the problems, but there is a ton of work that needs to be done. I believe it is remarkable how far displays have gone.

Twitter's words are that one factor they may consider is "the report has been filed by the target of the abuse or a bystander."

That seems reasonable enough because the "target" may not consider it abuse at all, even if the same behavior against someone else in a different context would cross the line. Getting reported by the target is a stronger signal than being reported by a misguided (if well-meaning) bystander who files a dozen questionable reports every day.

Isn’t the assumption you mention simply the assumption made in the Bellmann equation? In that case the assumption would have been made in previous versions of AlohaGo too.
This will kill the platform in the long run since it encourages inflammatory behavior. The president's tweets undoubtedly create a lot of attention and business for Twitter. But for all the wrong reasons. This reminds me of the Benetton ads in the late '80s / early '90s. Attention != relevance. http://www.alistgator.com/top-ten-controversial-united-color...
OP explicitly discusses the second big distinguishing in the opening paragraph of the section titled, 'The Alpha Zero Neural Ne':

“The Alpha Zero algorithm produces better and better expert policies and value functions over time by playing games against itself with accelerated Monte Carlo tree search. The expert policy π and the approximate value function Ŵ are both represented by deep neural networks. In fact, to increase efficiency, Alpha Zero uses one neural network f that takes in the game state and produces both the probabilities over the next move and the approximate state value. (Technically, it takes in the previous eight game states and an indicator telling it whose turn it is.)”

Regarding whether OP touches on temporal-difference learning I am unqualified to say but they do not explicitly mention it. Furthermore I am unqualified to judge how central this technique is to the level of play achieved. However in the DeepMind paper (pg. 20)† that start talking about temporal-difference learning thus:

“Self-play reinforcement learning has previously been applied to the game of Go. NeuroGo[40, 41] used a neural network to represent a value function, using a sophisticated architecture based on Go knowledge regarding connectivity, territory and eyes. This neural network was trained by temporal-difference learning[42] to predict territory in games of self-play, building on prior work[43]. A related approach, RLGO[44], represented the value function instead by a linear combination of features, exhaustively enumerating all 3 × 3 patterns of stones; it was trained by temporal-difference learning to predict the winner in games of self-play. Both NeuroGo and RLGO achieved a weak amateur level of play.”

I'm no expert but this implies to me that it was probably the sum total of all the subtle architectural decisions made by the DeepMind team plus their AI hardware and software platform that made AlphaGo Zero excel.

>Actively spreading the harassing or inciting material is an implicit endorsement - you could stop it if you wanted.

Hosting an open forum is not the same as endorsing ideas on said forum.

In fact, I would argue strongly to the contrary-twitter has an implicit social responsibility to allow all dialogue, as it is effectively in a position to limit speech, given the size of its audience and its position as a disseminator of information.

Do you really want faceless corporations like Facebook, google, and twitter deciding what is and is not appropriate material? Especially when they effectively have more immediate power in censoring or creating narratives than our own government?

I have learned to type much faster with autocorrect by working with it and understanding the limitations. I'm not a very good speller, but as long as I get enough letters correct, the phone will do the rest. And for long words I often skip a few letters, because I just need to be close enough.

When in the US or elsewhere where landowners can decide who can do what on a piece of land, how do you know where you can go picking berries or mushrooms? Do you check a map for some indication that a certain piece of land is "public" rather than privately owned? (Some countries have a right of access to any land meaning anyone is allowed to walk/pick berries/mushrooms etc on any land regardless of who owns it).
Hold on, you dont think it absurd that, by the logic in your post, if I retweet something as newsworthy as the president tweeting "negroes are bad", that I will be banned as well?

This is exactly the kind of myopic mindset that makes me worry about twitter censoring speech. Not to mention how easy such censorship is to abuse in order to, say, craft a narrative...

That was actually an issue with iOS 10 as well but only in the quick view, not the full app. There you’d see messages out of order and sometimes duplicated.

In the full app opening and closing the keyboard fixes it. I can’t believe they haven’t fixed it, and actually actively made it worse.
What's your definition of teamwork? If it is that in order to complete a large task (e.g. building an iPhone) that it is beneficial to work together with others, it's obvious, because even the best engineer in the world doesn't live long enough to fix everything currently.

If however you are saying that there exist many tasks for which you actually work together to come up for a solution for a known problem, I doubt that.

Case in point: Perelman.

To make it more concrete: if one is using cloud services, is one working together with that could service people? Is that teamwork? I don't think so. Yet, it is cooperation.

In jobs where you need to hold a heavy object in place such that someone else can put a nail somewhere is only teamwork, because of technological limitations. Robots that can do this already exist, but they are too expensive. As such, I also don't count those classes of work as teamwork.

Taking the above into consideration, what remains of your "teamwork"?

As long as imports are allowed (or at least there is a black market), importers should be willing to sell for at USD and BTC, so in theory USD and BTC are still better than local currency.
Yes that would ne better.

My point wasn't to get pedantic nor to criticize this particular sentence alone. I'm essentially saying that beginners' material could often be as easily comprehensible without the sort of "simplification" that actually says something wrong.

>Prohibiting filtering is also censorship -- it's telling people they have to see your thing in place of the thing they want.

This reads like a paragraph straight out of 1984. No one is forcing people to view anything by prohibiting filtering. It simply is making certain available on the platform.

Now I suppose one could argue that filtering is a form of speech, but thats still reaching I think.
Ask HN: Has anyone had a dispute resolved by Airbnb?
I recently rented an apartment via Airbnb, the host was an agent - not the owner.

At the end of my stay we agreed an extension of a few weeks but outside of Airbnb.

There was, however, a dispute about the figure agreed which I refused to accept.

I offered to pay an extra day via Airbnb at the published rate with a view to leaving the next day. The agent said this wasn't possible and I either accept the deal or go now. It was 8.30 pm.

I left the property after the agent agreed the house was in order and there was nothing left to discuss.

After leaving the agent posted some offensive and questionable messages to me on whattsapp.

At the same time I received notification that he had just left a review.

My reputation on Airbnb is, thus far, very good and I don't want this damaged.

I have informed Airbnb about the incident and to know his review will be malicious. I have requested it should not be published.

They have told me to submit my own review. Both reviews will be in the public domain as soon as I do this. (They have confirmed this).

So my option now is to post a defensive review and hope for the best.

Has anyone experienced anything similar and what was the outcome?
I touchtype at around 90WPM on a keyboard and swipe/glide typing (which obviously relies heavily on autocorrect) is the only thing that makes inputting text on a smartphone somewhat almost bearable for me. Otherwise I feel like I'm trying to type with mittens while drunk.

It's reasonably fast, I don't have to aim for tiny boxes with my fat fingers and it takes care of accents when I type in french. The correction algorithm is also getting better (albeit still far from perfect); sometimes it'll correct the previous word based on what I enter next. If you want me to disable this you'll have to give me a full size keyboard as a replacement.
