> What they're asking is why do we let this happen in a country that boasts about its commitment to democracy and human rights?

The let part is very curious for its implication. What would the proposal be exactly, other than using violence and bureaucracy (every investment goes through an inherently corrupt government investment approval board) to curb free association and dictate capital flows through a command & control filter?

Want to invest in Coca Cola? No you may not, they've killed millions of people with obesity, diabetes and cancer over decades. So says some government tyrant dictating what you're allowed to invest into.

Want to start a marijuana company and take an investment from another marijuana company? No you may not, it's a schedule one drug that is evil, according to some government drug enforcement tyrant. They're not about to let you do such a thing.

You'd have to isolate yourself from half the planet economically to follow it to its proper conclusion. That includes: China, most of Africa, most of the Middle East, half of South America, several Eastern European nations, Russia, along with plausibly India and the US. And really where would we draw the line (other than arbitrarily by previously mentioned government tyrants)? Let's review the historical slave trade practices of various European nations for example, surely that counts against them in this absurdist premise. No investments are to ever be allowed from the Netherlands accordingly.
For example, consider a rather trivial theorem which says that if you have two positive integers in decimal representations Aaa...aa and Bbb..bb, of same length, then the sum of them is larger than number (A+B)00..00.

So this theorem gives you a property of the result (the result is larger than some number) without you having to calculate the result (sum the numbers) explicitly.

The Hashlife algorithm mentioned in this thread is another case, basically it's an algorithm to prove certain "theorems" about the Game of Life and applying those theorems to speed it up.

Phones already have proximity sensors and facial recognition. We're just not using them to scale pixels yet.

But for most intents and purposes, it's enough to assume a "typical" distance for the type of device in question. People with bad eyesight are free to place the device closer to their eyes, zoom in, or adjust a system setting that makes everything look larger.

I would never knowingly take blood money from a dictator, even if it meant I lived an impoverished life.

Yeah, for a while I insisted on setting my "retina" Macbook to its full resolution, but once I started using a second (non-retina) screen, I grudgingly scaled it to a more reasonable size and haven't looked back.
Fun thing is: pixels don't have a size. They are just 2d locations (with a color assigned).

But most devices relate them to screen pixels. And therefore scale coded pixels to the screen density.

High density devices can do this in multiple ways: every screen pixel is a coded pixel, or scale the coded pixels so the user can 'see' them.

That's why using pixels in code work because the device is scaling them to a screen size that is nice for the user.

I think they simply don't have an elegant, technical solution for what amounts to old fashioned "policing" or "investigative" work that they simply refuse to or don't want to do because it probably isn't a priority (until it is).

The solution seams akin to the neighbor stealing cable.

What do you mean by MMI?
I found when I applied the principles I use for software, it helped me make much better presentations.

Build a (user) story. Why are presenting? What do you want to accomplish by taking to these people? Based on what they already know, how much background do they need? Your don't build features by adding buttons and sliders - you figure out user stories by asking why a dozen times. It's not quite the same dynamic but you can roughly go through the same exercise, even if it's just in your head.

The other big thing is to reduce text content to the bare minimum. Remove sentences (move them to speaker notes, if you want). Keep rephrasing things to make it shorter. If you have lots of text on screen people read it and don't pay attention to you. If you're reading the text verbatim, you might as well just email your content and not waste the time talking.

Visuals are good when possible. Even dumb stock photos can work: for example, if you're making an argument that your onboarding process is too complex, a photo of a crazy highway interchange can help reinforce that. It certainly leaves a more lasting impression that a 9-point bulleted wall of text.

Current estimates are that there are slightly more bacteria than human cells (3.8x10^13 vs 3.0x10^13) in a "reference man". However, the mass of the bacteria is only 0.2kg, so human cells totally dominate by mass. Interestingly, most of the human cells by count are red blood cells.

Recently used CSS Grids for layout control and Bootstrap v4 for element styling. Grids are insanely easy to use and do a really good job of separating content and presentation.

And I used flex boxes within grids to fine tune layout and it's really awesome and simple. Verbose, but simpler than using frameworks like BS, Semantic or Materialize for layouts.
Even if you build your presentation this way, you can fix it: start again. Use your first presentation as literal speaker notes and just rebuild the while thing, but extract the key ideas, be very limited in writing down any words you want to say, and substitute charts, diagrams or photos wherever possible.
Could you explain the downside of allowing auto-fill for sign-in information here? I understand that security is a concern, but I don't see how allowing a password manager to handle sign-ins would be harmful.
No. You can get the remote server's /etc/passwd in some cases. Most OS's would block a file that obvious from a non-privileged app but maybe /tmp/session.32eg3g3.txt is readable. There are sensitive local files that are readable by your web app so you must take precautions. This is in fact a common security hole caused by careless developers.

The filing is what makes it officially into a real lawsuit before the court, so it's not a threat anymore but the first step of the actual thing.

You are right in that it looks like the robots had a lower incidence of major complications but the P value was short of "statistical significance" (i.e. 0.05) so it was not considered proven. This is a long way from saying "there was no difference".

The point is made in the article that a lot of this money was not taken in order to stay alive at all. The concrete example is Slack taking $250 million that they haven't even earmarked for anything in particular, just "operational flexibility".

In my field (social science) you do a PhD in order to learn research methods and familiarize yourself with the literature you are going to relate to in your research. Without this background, it would be virtually impossible to get punished in a big journal.

If you are serious about research, you should do a research Masters / PhD somewhere. What if you join a non-top university? Or can you work on your exam skills? Many universities offer support with that.
It sounds like this feature is akin to vhost which has been available in Linux for a few years. Using vhost-net and OVS or vhost-user and VPP you could build something similar to Andromeda.

Surely there's some people they'd turn down money from. I doubt anyone in the valley is gonna accept a check publicly from harvey weinstein right now. You're right that it's a business decision more than moral, but given enough pressure, the business decision will tilt the other way.
> Em may be a relative size, but it's based on a font whose size is specified in points or pixels. Thus it's indirectly a physical measurement too.

A size specification that can be correctly converted into any amount of meters at all is most definitely not a physical measurement. A unit that has a conversion factor to the corresponding SI unit for the respective dimenion that can be chosen completely arbitrarily is certainly not a phyiscal unit of measurement.
Apple is not waiting for anything. They store their money abroad, and they invest it abroad, in foreign manufacturing and foreign retail expansion and foreign R&D and foreign acquisitions. And when domestic investors complain, Apple takes on domestic debt (at very good terms) to fund stock buybacks and dividends.

The idea that U.S. international tax policy is somehow hampering Apple is just not true. There's a big world out there outside U.S. borders.

What it is hampering is U.S. domestic investment and job growth.
Glad you appreciate it! Jon and I both just like explaining and clarifying. In this case he did actual work, and along with Jake and others deserve the credit (I rarely contribute directly to Compute Engine these days, but I still pretend like I can explain what Jon and others do).

I don't begrudge the folks that prefer to work silently. I'm not adding the names of any people who worked on this (and there are many!) but perhaps don't want to be publicly visible. I assume that's why there are less AWS folks for their launches here, and it's a purely personal decision. You also might be biased since Jon and I are particularly loud and slack off a lot at work :).

Fwiw, please call us out if you think we're straying into Sales/Marketing. That's not the intent, and part of why I make sure to put the disclosure on my posts.

If it's not excellent, keep complaining until we improve!

> people sort of push this point aside either by saying that qualia/subjectivity could be generated by math

It's not math that generates qualia, it's embodiment. The fact that "math" is inside an agent, which is inside a world that evolves. The agent can move about and affect the world, and it has a utility principle (some needs to fulfill) that guide its actions and perceptions - that generates qualia. The source is being in the world, not math. Math describes anything, qualia describes the world as experienced by the agent.

If you take "being in the world, maximizing utility" as an explanation for consciousness, then you can easily classify various AIs and entities as conscious or not-conscious.
Yes, this is enabled for all VMs running on Compute Engine (which includes GKE VMs), however the in-guest iptables &c. bits add non-trivial overhead (I don't have numbers handy, apologies).
Well... having been in a vaguely similar situation about 2 years ago, I recommend picking your golden handcuffs and getting the fuck out before you stop caring all together.

Yes, any kernel >= 3.8 includes the relevant offload features. The improvements here primarily come from reduced overhead getting packets out of the VM (not mentioned in the post is that Andromeda 2.1 also eliminates VM exits when packets are sent and, where supported by Intel, when interrupts are delivered).

edit: Realized you might have meant Linux VMs running outside of GCE -- the improvements here are fairly GCE-specific, although as wmf points out, vhost is a similar technology in the open source world. Performance specifics down at this level (tens of microseconds and below) tend to be hardware dependent.

Yep! GKE just runs atop GCE. No work required on your side.

That reminds me though: you have to be communicating over the internal IP addresses, not the external ones (I hope the Services stuff does the right thing automatically). Firewall rules and such are different for internal versus external IPs (people often want a simple "deny all external traffic"), so that's sadly still a performance cliff.
If it's in fact true that David didn't first try to talk to Ron about this, that's surprising to me.
I kind of agree with you, but I think you muddy your argument by getting into the weeds somewhat. For me this whole thing is pretty simple - where do you draw your line?

I mean, off the top of my head here's a rough list, in my extremely rough estimation, of human rights offenders from bad to good:

badness country
100% DPRK
90% Saudi Arabia
80% Dubai
70% Russia
60% China
50% USA
40% India
30% Japan
20% Australia
10% Norway
0% Antarctica

So where do you draw your line?

Stating "My line is 65% bad or less" is a reasonable argument.
Yeah, I'm not sure what the fruit of this is going to be. It's a nice reminder that most business/industry is outside of morals. It's not that all of it is immoral, but rather that it exists without any moral requirement and most of the times not having morals is an advantage.

Also, if people really thought SV had any care at all for ethics and morals even before this they must've missed pretty much all of the news about SV for years and years. Not caring about what's right is expected, as long as you don't get caught. It's just a risk/reward thing.
Also, speeds like "100 times per second" should be scaled down with the size scaling, if you want a feel for mechanics. Times Square is about 1km long, and a eukaryotic cell around 10 microns, so scale by 100 million. (A pretty typical protein, 5nm across, becomes 0.5 meters across in Times Square.) From this perspective even the rapid purposeful actions the article talks about go extremely slowly: 100Hz becomes a million seconds per action -- a couple weeks. The biomolecules do whip around at random very fast -- but net progress happens only after a lot of wriggling.

> I never could understand this big glaring hypocrisy from my European point of view.

Surely you're joking. All the major European nations have been masters of exactly what you're describing for centuries. It has been historically routine European behavior.

There are plenty of modern examples of it. See: the French, UK and German relationship with Iraq pre Gulf War and their assistance with Iraq vs Iran. Germany massively supplied Iraq with the ability to make chemical weapons.

Before the US made the mistake of deeply intertwining itself throughout what goes on in the Middle East, the major European nations had been at it for centuries (and several of them are still very actively doing exactly the same things the US is doing, usually in proportion to their economic or military capabilities).
Ok, and if one country does that, then other countries have an incentive to ignore the agreement, and accept all that sweet sweet money.

Because SMTP was an open protocol. No MUA company profited from its end user seeing spam. No end-user-targeted MTAs (i.e., the MTAs of most end users' ISPs) also found spam as a cost center. (I'm being pedantic here in that the rogue spam-friendly "Spamhaus" ISPs whose customer base was made up of spammers were technically operating MTAs as injection points. To the overwhelming majority of email users, admins, and providers, spam was a massive cost center.)

At some point in the 90s/00s, ISPs had to bite the bullet and acknowledge that if they didn't filter spam, customers would leave for ISPs who would. And in the SMTP era, y0u could use b4y3s14n techniques to f1lt3r out the v1@gr4 spam.

We're not at the point where the video equivalent of spammers can be automatically detected. So it's going to be expensive.

And in an age of walled gardens and ad-tech, the providers of "next up" and "recommended for you" clickbait/spam are not losing money (by having to pay for storage/bandwidth for spam that their end user merely deletes or filters client-side). Rather, sites like YouTube are profiting off of every clickthrough. An ad view is an ad view.

And that is why they have no business incentive to pay the money to hire the humans that are still required to solve the hard problem of differentiating spam from ham. Doing nothing, or pretending to be able to fully automate the problem away via still-error-prone AI, is cheaper than solving the hard problem of curation.
Maybe we should ask how human rights abuses plan to persist if their proponents are funding new platforms of self expression and better flows of information that offer tremendous empowerment for the average person to learn about and speak out against such injustices. This seems a poor strategy if the goal is to keep the people ignorant and subject to the ancient stupidity of religious dogma.

You're right, it doesn't matter. Thirty years ago it didn't matter, there was no such thing as criminalizing the source of money before then. This is a fake stigma, you don't have to rationalize it either.

Unparalleled economic growth continued to happen because it didn't matter to anyone of importance and status.

Whatever fake stigmas were shoved down the throats of the morally subscribed underclass only serve to keep them squabbling and maintaining the social and economic order which has always been here.

Most of abstract mathematics and philosophy deal in concepts that have no color, shape, or mass. And yet we deal with them. We don't need to have physical grounding for every concept.
