That's a good way to put it. Since China is so in-love with AI, I wonder if we could use AI with the same purpose - spreading "freedom" information in China.

Something like this actually happened recently:

Is it really? Facebook certainly seemed very sure of every little ad that was purchased by a Russian party.
I hated CS classes in HS and my first two years of college. Couldn't understand what learning about pointers and OO would let me do because all the assignments in the classes were so obviously stupid toy problems that had no real-world application.

Ended up getting into it due to a upper-level undergrad Math class where I realized if I dusted off those old skills I could write programs to help me with the math much more effectively than Excel or a calculator or such.

I believe akerl_ means "separate daemon" in about the same way that an Oracle database server runs on top of the Linux kernel. There is no code sharing (outside of permitted uses of header files), so copyright is not involved, so there is no GPL issue.

That is, the "separate daemon" really is separate from the kernel.
I don't think you can be certain it's a newer Merlin engine OR that it will delay Block 5.

They do acceptance testing of all their engines, even the current iterations. They've launched literally hundreds of these engines, with multiple tests per engine (and, as an aside, a design for Falcon 9 that is able to survive an engine failure).

They test multiple engines per week, and have the capacity for multiple times that, so losing a test cell for a few weeks need have no impact on the schedule for Block 5.

My take is that this will have essentially no impact on SpaceX's schedule.
There was an article exlaining how they get that money back in U.S. tax-free. Something along the lines of geting a loan from the bank against deposit by their pardise subsidiary. Also, the money owned by the subsidiary is allegedly in NY bansk, not some small paradise banks.
There’s a big difference between code search over 20M repositories (GitHub’s goal, and what people need a few times per week) and code search over 1-50,000 repositories (what developers at companies need several times per day). Doing the latter lets you simplify the indexing a lot if you have a lot of memory available (shameless plug: https://about.sourcegraph.com/products/code-search/). But doing it over 20M repositories needs an index that takes weeks, if not months, to rebuild and severely limits your ability to ship improvements. I’m thankful they are doing the work of building that for the developer community, though!
We are only thinking of malls in the classic context.

For the last 10+ years many "malls" have been outdoor "areas" with shops, beautified walking paths, communal spaces, grocery stores, movie theaters, etc. Essentially miniature downtowns.

We have both these and the classic style mall here. Only 2 or 3 classic malls any more. However, they are all VERY successful. There were 7-8 and I've watched many die, or be taken over by distribution hubs, data centers (think big non-customer facing building)

We've had about 3-4 outdoor malls developed in the last 10 years. All are going strong, albeit they are new.

Wow, I really think you're in the minority with that opinion. I would expect to be thrown out. It's not about it being "unsexy", it's about it being inappropriate and unacceptable. Funnily enough, I'm sure one of the reasons given for the ejection would be the idea that it makes the conference a hostile environment for women.
It’s a fair point that the income stats might be not the full picture.

It’s not really a fair point that Cuba has a better standard of living than the USA, for example.

When in doubt, look at the simplest metric - which way do the rafts flow. The desperate people flow from Cuba to Florida, and not the other way around.
Hey, I’d love to live in a world that operated the way you suggest. There’s actually a group of people who work towards that aim. They’re called (intersectional) feminists. You might find what they’re saying interesting.
They don't "have access to offshore accounts that most businesses don't". They naturally earn most of their profits internationally, and pay taxes to the countries they earn those profits in. If they return those international profits to the US, they'll lose another 40%+ to taxes (closer to 60% if you count individual dividend taxes).

So they keep the remaining profits in the lowest tax country/location they can find while it earns interest. They owe Germany nothing more.
Well, the guys making that kind of money (David Tepper comes to mind) are managing their own money with the fund / family of funds as well. I'm sure it's almost all capital gains.

The in-state tuition or the stipend? The stipend is taxed like a payroll tax..
Honestly curious - does the US spread propaganda to the rest of the world? If I had to guess it would be that hollywood historically did most of the work - exporting "American" values and culture to other nations, but I don't know if that's still the case.

Anyways, it would be interesting to know if there is any kind of US presence on Chinese/Russian social networks (like, is there some bizarro mirror world /r/the_donald in Russian with posts pushing some kind of US agenda?)

I'm not sure a picture of you on the internet is a bigger responsibility to assume than creating a child, so I don't really think the law makes that much sense even in that perspective.

If we're honest, a lot of the laws were made so far away from the context of the current internet/smartphone culture that they are pretty much useless unless seriously reconsidered (and probably do a lot of immoral harm the way they are written right now).
> Why do we need to shame each other about our quirks?

Everyone judges everyone else. If absolutely everyone just keeps to themselves and has their own standards of right and wrong, no sense of community ever has a chance of forming.

In the US "slutshaming" is part of the progressive stack so in a sense of unity, and voting on HN is often used to enforce political norms. So people who would downvote someone for using the N-word, for example, are attacking you to earn their good boy points because they're all in it together, etc.

There are other interesting examples along your example of @sexyengineer.

One is in the area of cooking your example has long existed where theoretically the genre is "cooking" but in practice there are two distinct types of shows, the shows were the woman is in a revealing cocktail dress or date night attire while cooking with fantastic hair and makeup and by cis hetro standards is extremely hot, while the cooking knowledge and recipes are on the level of "cooking" a pb&j sandwich, vs real "cooking" shows where an average looking person, often below average in appearance due to being an older experienced teacher, educate you about cooking. For a variety of TV formula risk minimization strategies there is in practice essentially no overlap. Online, without hollywood execs, things can get weird and cross over. This is actually very comical in the foodie world, there are well known sayings about cooking shows where you can tell within seconds what kind of show you're watching by either seeing a lacy lingerie bra or a (dirty) apron, although they're all categorized as "cooking" shows.

Another interesting example is in woodworking there are real woodworking educational TV shows with average to below average older shop teacher type human bodies where you'll actually learn something, and there's one PBS woodworking show with a tall highly muscular male model from Boston who my wife finds very handsome but I've stopped watching because the carpentry content level is low.

Its fundamentally a difference between people who are looking for a strong attractive personality perhaps with a theme they enjoy; essentially this is every pr0n movie plot, ever. Meanwhile there are people looking for content and information. Do you want to hang out with a beautiful and stylish woman in her kitchen for a half hour, or are you looking for the official USDA food safety heating temp in deg F for ground pork? There's nothing wrong with either in any moral or ethical sense, but you'll see lots of weird lashing out and anger from people who want/need one and get accidentally stuck with the other, and people REALLY freak out when there's trans content bridging the gap and its hard to tell from second to second whats titillating pr0n and what is a reference manual.

There is likely an analogy for hard vs soft sci fi.

One way of looking at it is we very poorly label and identify content in TV and online such that we lump personality and appearance shows in the same named genre. Is the setting of a carpenters workroom merely the background of a pr0n flick or is the carpentry the main point and the actor is merely there as voice talent? Its the same for cooking, and in this weird case, engineering.
Can you hire someone to handle the client work? If so, use part of or all of the salary increase to cover payroll. Stay in your job, do well in the role to be fair to your existing employer but get 4 more clients. Then when you’re at 6 clients, leave. Treat the salary increase as your seed capital to build a business.
It's never been this effectively targeted at The US. US meddling has been much more effective than this, and the tactics much more extreme. It's also not exactly difficult to uncover, Facebook is telling us exactly what they did.
Top 1% isn't the right metric for finding the problems we want to identify. In certain US states like new mexico, the top %1 is 230k, which any physician could reasonably make. Are we trying to discourage physicians?

The problem with income inequality is people abusing their capital (via compounding interest or political influence) to make more capital. I suspect that applies to the top .01%.

Parity wallet bug destroys 280m USD in Ethereum
This is an interesting idea. As far as I understand, many grantors such as NSF place strict limit on each categories (PI salary, student stipend, material, travel), and generally you cannot move extra $ from one category to another. I think your proposed method does look like stream-lining the accounting, though I do not have a strong opinion. From the grantors' perspective, they might prefer the first as the second reduces transparency on where $ goes?

I was wondering when someone was finally going to get around to asking if countries other than Russia spread memes on Facebook. To the surprise of no one except apparently Democrats, they do. Now the million dollar question, will anyone investigate _China's_ involvement in influencing the election? Of course not, that would weaken the narrative that Russia acted alone in this endeavor (with Trump, of course).
Being reduced to sex object and being sexy on top of being skilled etc are not the same tho. Nor should be. (I know there are some radfem who disagree with me on that point). It is precisely the "and since she is sexy then she must be bimbo" that is a problem and causes whole lot of negativity.

Pushback here is people literally saying she is fake and can't be skilled. It is not complain about the decency nor double standard.
Hidden Crypto-Mining Comes to Mobile Apps
This is why I got out of bitcoin trading. It used to correlate to the general attitude about it. Now the coins and miners are so centralized the real driving force of bitcoins price is the thousand wallets holding 95% of all BTC. Its like trying to predict market movements for a stock where 95% of the shares in a company are owned by one person. It isn't up to anyone else but that person where the price trends, because the behavior of the 5% crumbs mean nothing against the behavior of that one holder.

The price will simply go up when the whales want it to, and go down when said whales want to cash out. Fees could go up or down, China could do X or Y, the Fed could regulate it or not, and the general opinions of the ecosystem don't matter whatsoever - price is fairly solely dictated by the whims of a few dozen elites nowadays.

I think "sadism" may not be the appropriate term. Based on what I have read, it sound more like Dale is simply sexist. His doubts and concerns have a pretty sexist bent, as do his actions.

This is only surprising for some subset of the 'tech crowd' who like to presume in a very self serving way everyone else is an 'idiot' and they are 'smart'.

The vast majority of human beings have innate intelligence and a large proportion are educated or highly educated and can get things done if required.

But no one is going to mess around with tech unless it is their core thing or a personal interest just like no techie is going to try to understand sales and marketing out of the blue.

Some people are also lazy and 'encourage' their tech friends and relatives by playing dumb and talking them up to get work done.
Comcast is in rent-seeking mode at this point; extracting as much money as possible from existing infrastructure.

By "infrastructure" I mean last-mile fiber buried/strung throughout neighborhoods and into peoples' homes. It's expensive to build such infrastructure, due to varieties of local laws, right-of-way access, and for the same reasons leaf nodes are most numerous in typical tree data structures.

So, Comcast's approach is to extract as much money as they can from existing infrastructure which they've built, acquired, or gained exclusive rights to, while directing minimal resources to building new such.

Along with that, they expend a lot of effort lobbying to protect that infrastructure from encroachment or competition by other entities, like other private ISPs, unbundling laws, municipal broadband, and the like.
Sure, I guess. The stipend is taxed by the way, just like regular income.

For me personally, taxing the tuition benefit would be the "straw that broke the camel's back". I believe that the only thing keeping the PhD system running (for domestic students at least) is the fact that it's fully funded and not taxed. If you take that away, many students like myself will just not continue.

In a nutshell, if you want to ruin the US academic research system, tax our tuition waiver​. Europe will suddenly​ become much more attractive, even for US citizens...
> Debatable, unless you're taking the claims that $100K of meme-tier ads on Facebook changed the outcome of the election at face value.

It's not just Facebook, or Twitter, or 4chan, or Reddit, or HN, or IRC, or email, or TV ads, or superpac ads, etc....

Ads can be targeted moreso than ever, celebrities are more easily roped in willingly or as useful idiots. Content has wider possibilities ("verified" emails). People are much more primed for disinformation than they were in the past.

They paid in rubles. They didn't seem to even think it was terribly important to hide.
The Bitfinex hack was due to getting enough parties of the multiparty signature to sign it (e.g. by stealing 2 out of 3 keys, or taking advantage of insufficiently secure automatic signing systems), not an issue with the contract itself.
They just pick their spaces well; there are plenty of ways to find a niche where you are the smartest guy in your space. But there are a lot of traders / fund managers who lose their asses; most people don't last very long in a professional environment (the ones who do end up making a ton of money)
Wealth is created by people providing products and services to other people and it is not a static quantity "distributed" equally or not equally.

For something as dynamic as wealth is impossible to give any representation of its "distribution".

Neither it is useful to even speak if "inequality".

The idea of "distributing wealth" is the idea based on communism to steal property from those who have it and give it to those who do not have it.

It is partially implemented in income tax systems all over the world.

That fact does not justify its criminal origins.

And it is so often propagated to smart online boys to make them more "fit" for the society in which they are to yell on those who have it, in order to spread it to those who do not have it.

Instead of asking other people's property to become your property without giving them exchange (which is basic of crime) how about doing something helpful?

Maybe those people who belong to the group of not having it "equal" need better environment? Better education? Better chances for survival?

You cannot get better chance for survival by robbing other people's hard earned wealth. It is not fair. You have a car, I do not have a car, so let me rob you. That is criminal.

But you can get better chances for survival with education, knowledge and training to become better producer and service provider.

Each of us is both the producer and service provider. We are producing products and services for other people, so we help people, and we are creating wealth.

But those writing this kind of nonsense reports wish to sit behind their TV without creating anything for other people and get the money from "social funds" to support their parasitic lives.

That is what those people want who are yelling at you "look at the world, it is not equal".
We easily go over a hundred years of testing.

And whom shall they sell CNN to? Rupert Murdoch? (accompanied by a sudden deafening silence from the DOJ on mega mergers)
I'm suggesting we stop subsidizing all but the abject & existential poor.

Welfare entitlements have grown so profitable there's a huge disincentive to working. Do nothing, profit. Start working, entitlements are withdrawn and you face a huge net income drop, made worse by taxes on earned income. Hence much of the bottom 50% are literally incentivized to minimize income & wealth - explaining in part why so much of their wealth has migrated to other classes.

I'm also suggesting we cut taxes so those who do earn aren't losing so much of their income.

While technically subject to the lowest tax rates, the bottom 50% have the lowest income & wealth rates, so find it harder to replace & augment what little they have that's taken from them by "embedded taxes" passed on from higher economic classes (corporate taxes -> higher prices, property taxes -> higher rent, etc). What they earn & retain is being siphoned away by taxation.

The question my prior post was trying to answer was: why has the wealth of the bottom 50% dropped so much? Well, between rewarding (subsidizing) unemployment and dis-incentivizing (taxing) earned income, we're giving the bottom 50% good reasons to earn & keep less. The result should not be surprising.
What you said, while true, is one-sided. It omits that companies like Apple are the beneficiaries of large tax breaks that ipso facto function as subsidies (because Apple is the beneficiary of tax spending in innumerable ways). It also looks at different taxation rates for individuals as well, with a capital gain tax that's far lower than ordinary income tax rates, as one example.

So "as a society" applies here, in the loose sense of government decision-making.

There's no market in the abstract - there are courts, tax laws, civil laws, and many other things that mediate.
