Are there alternatives you would recommend that can be easily implemented on a front-end level instead of the back-end/network level? I don't disagree with their recommendations- just curious.
On the other hand they are standard sized, rugged, weather resistant, modular, stackable and affordable.

The right configuration can be impressive. Sure, it has some form limitations, whose alterations would obviate their use in the first place, but they can be made to work within some limits.
Why are you wasting so much meeting time on non-pivotal discourse?
What is your concept of romance?

I think the parent's posting is more applicable than you might think - putting in the effort to go on dates and really get to know a person does a lot to cultivate romance.

Nothing kills romance like hanging-out, but my perception might be different than yours - my ideal romance leads to a life-long relationship, which takes the same kind of effort that the parent's suggestion called for (deliberate effort focus on a romantic relationship).
If the machine (1) has soldered-on RAM (preventing cold boot attacks) and (2) the portions of the OS that run prior to user authentication are sufficiently secure, then it really doesn't seem to be a problem.

Last I knew, Windows does not like to let you enable this mode in a machine with removable RAM that don't have compensating security features.

How many insects or birds know "calculus and topology"? You're straining so much here, to be both narrow and broad, that you contradict yourself.

If you depend on GitHub (or any remote service) always being available, you might want to make some changes in your workflow. Just saying..
Personally, I find the idea of "future selves" separate from your current personal identity a compelling enough idea that I think I at least owe them a chance at life even if I theoretically may have a right to take my own right now.

So, killing yourself to me is only justifiable in situations where you'd be justified in killing somebody else. Sacrificing yourself to defend somebody else could be thought of the same as killing in self-defense, euthanasia is justified, etc.

This isn't at all to push blame on those who consider suicide or have gone through with it, or to completely abandon the idea of a continuous identity, just a perspective that once I adopted I couldn't shake.
A software engineer with 5-10 years of experience that doesn't have the financial resources to invest in a company (outside of the stock he is presumably receiving as compensation) has clearly demonstrated a lack of financial intelligence and investment saavy, and probably is the exact type of rube that the accredited investor rules are meant to protect.

And as an employee, you have incredibly distorting restrictions of what you can get and how much because of this rule.
Blatantly false. An employee can receive unlimited amounts of stock as compensation. They're simply limited in their ability to expend their own financial resources to acquire stock of non-traded companies.

All harmful regulations exist for very good reasons.

Very true. But this isn't one of the harmful regulations. And even if it is harmful, it prevents significantly more and greater harm than it inflicts.
Sorry, my example was not clear enough.

Only a small fraction of people use VPN, so the monopoly price in a world with net neutrality basically ignores those people and charges the optimal price for everyone who does not use VPN.

However, in a world without net neutrality, the company is able to charge a different price to those who want VPNs and those who don't (this is price discrimination). So it keeps charging the old price to everyone else, but adds on a surcharge only to those users who want a VPN. In this simple example, it makes an extra dollar per month per VPN-user.
Thanks, I should have mentioned I am using sonic.net. It is pretty good and I don't understand how but it's more reliable than AT&T (the second time I had to stay home from work and the AT&T technician didn't show up I had to switch to something else) when I assumed it was over the same copper wires to the nearest telco office and same telco office.
Is there portable open source tooling to create these packages, like there is for MSI? Can programs installed through Appx packages do everything you can do as a Windows app or is there some form of mandatory sandboxing that would prevent its use for e.g. installing services or setting up credential providers?

Do you work in downtown SF? I live in the Tri-Valley area: Dublin, Pleasanton, San Ramon. You can get 3BR for under $3k/month, quick BART into the city (a little less than an hour each way). Though that doesn’t commute very well to San Jose/Palo Alto
Take a look at Blendle. It does exactly this - pay-per-article - and aggregates quite a few popular publications already.

Its true there is still some need for someone to have access to a bank or someone to physically bring in bitcoin to a country. But with services such as localbitcoins where you can find people near you to trade cash for bitcoin and bitcoin ATMs(not usually run by banks) you can get pretty far without a bank.
Miriam Shaded is not a notable speaker at conferences or universities. However, she is known for spreading hate, and anti-muslim propaganda.

She apparently re-posted threats she got on FaceBook from unidentified Muslim signed as 'Osama J'. Then Facebook took that down because it was reported as not appropriate content. Then the whole thing was spun through Polish right-wing internet to provoke outrage in its readers by showing that even half-Syrian is silenced when she tries to show how bad the Muslim (immigrants) really are.

She never followed through with raising criminal charges against the person supposedly making threats, he also wasn't identified other than the initials "Osama J".

The whole thing looked like a fabricated ploy to provoke outrage in the right wing internet.

Polish internet is sadly rife with anti-muslim propaganda, that's been spun to position the society against the EU and broadly speaking western values. You can see that for yourself if you use Google Translate and go to the frontpage of Polish version of Digg/Reddit called Wykop.pl

The last part is not true. Blockchains are used for currencies like Bitcoin precisely because no one, not even the creators, can steal from someone once the money has been transferred, unless the new owner does not secure it properly.
So you don't actually live on 18k per year, and you're certainly not saving 5k/pa on 18k?
It's not absurd to believe that humans will never be able to invent machines that match human level intelligence. Firstly, it's not necessarily logical to assume that brains are simply computers because we've never created or even imagined a computer that works anything like a brain. Even if it's possible, it might be beyond human intelligence to invent such a computer.

I like to think of AGI like the Warp Drive. It might well be possible, but we might never develop the capability to make one.
It's not too dissimilar from the adversarial justice system, but in a different domain, to be honest.

If this were analogous to a judicial proceeding, it would be one in which one side submitted fabricated evidence. How is that "well played on both sides"?
Was last year. 2 BR was/is $2500.

Also if you’re maxing out your 401(K) I’d call that “saving”
On the other side of the aisle, Justice League opens with its evil terrorists being … suit-wearing English reactionaries.
I help to run a suicide/depression support group on FB and I do not at all trust FB as a corporation to do a good job on this. Having had friends who've been involuntarily hospitalized and all that goes with that I'm extremely skeptical that this will turn out well.

'But it might save lives!' is true, but it might also wreck lives by institutionalizing people that thought they were venting their feelings to a trusted circle of friends in a private context. (Don't start with 'nothing is private on FB' please.)
Ah, but what if only half the people want to pay an extra $15 for Netflix? If they raise everyone's price by $15, the other half will cancel service or go to a lower tier. So this won't work. However, without net neutrality, they can charge the Netflix-watchers $15 more and not charge the other people any more.
My guess is that something about this got changed (2016):

Ensure that one of the first questions asked is whether or not he has a fiduciary duty to you. If he says yes, then ensure that this is part of your written agreement of services.

Once an advisor is acting as your fiduciary, it's not lawful for them to advise you to do anything but what is in your best interest. Further, they may not have any conflicts of interest. This was supposed to be the case for all US retirement accounts, but the Financial Services Industry fought tooth and nail to defeat the Obama era rule.
You live in a first world economy with banking facilities available to you. some people in your country will be unable to access these same banking facilities and many millions more in other countries are in the same position, bitcoin lets them have a similar level of control of their money and lets them use online services that would be otherwise difficult to obtain.

Superseding us in what way? The machine is already better at chess and Go, clearly not at classifying images[1], but the issue here is that the author argues that there is no such thing as a general intelligence. It's all situational.

On a separate note, does it even matter? Some people argue it's important so that we can put AI safe-guards in place, to protect mankind. But either:

A) Intelligence explosion won't happen and those safe-guards are not needed.

B) Intelligence explosion happens and the supersmart AI will easily find its way around feeble safe-guards put in place by the inferior humans.

While the end results are not the same; in either case the safe-guards are useless, though Asimov sure made a good story about them.

Just so we are clear:

- Softbank will invest $1B in Uber at a $69B valuation - this is the same as their old valuation. This sale will create new shares and therefore dilution.

- However, the offer is contingent on Softbank being able to buy a significant number of pre-existing shares at a $48B valuation from early investors - no dilution here.

- If they don't get enough investors to agree to sell at $49B then the whole deal is off the table.
No, the question asking about specific rates is talking about what the top marginal income tax rate should be (I can't see the actual question, but it's clear that's what thehill.com, who commissioned the poll, is referring to when discussing it).

You could argue that when people say the rich should pay "more", they're talking about effective rates, but a lower marginal income tax rate would be a funny way to raise top earners' effective tax rates.
From your link:

"That doesn’t necessarily mean YouTube isn’t profitable, but it just means it’s not a focus at the moment. YouTube, which primarily makes money from advertising within its videos, doesn’t release revenue numbers (it is not separated in financial statements by parent company Alphabet). But some reports put revenue in the billions."
The good thing is that if a new Mac Mini is released it will probably come with TB3 which means eGPU.

> Indeed, so boring was the final race of the season (and to be honest, the two that preceded it)

Abu Dhabi is a boring racetrack that makes passing quite difficult, but if you could not find something interesting about the Brazil race (Ricciardo started at 14th and made his way up to 6th and Hamilton started on the pit lane and clawed his way up to 4th) or the Mexico race (won by Verstappen, a 20 year old guy who was not driving a Mercedes or Ferrari, with a 19 second margin over the 2nd place Mercedes, which has been dominant and is a much better car), it's possible you're just not an F1 fan.

That's fine, and it probably points to a good audience for the "e-sports" racing. Maybe some of those guys will convert to being F1 fans, maybe some of them won't, but it is not an expensive experiment for F1 to run. Pretty much all they have to do is push this while not embarrassing themselves too badly with the fans of motor racing who couldn't care less about e-sports. (who knows? The loud reaction among fans to the F1 logo change might indicate that they're all insane anyway, so it is impossible to predict)
Of course it's not sufficient. It does make possible to talk about partially initialized arrays, which is a necessary step to checking their access, either at run time or by formal methods.

The "Weak" problem is mostly a back-pointer problem. If you had some way to talk about a back pointer locked in an invariant relationship with a forward pointer, that would deal with back pointers for trees and such. I sketched out a solution for this on YC earlier this year.[1] This doesn't deal with true circular lists, but those are relatively rare; people tend to use arrays for that today.

It's good to hear this criticized from someone who does program proving. I used to do that, a long time ago. What I usually get from the Rust crowd is macho assertion that they don't need checking of their unsafe code. History and the CERT archives indicate they do.

Just to clarify, it is 42-57% of discretionary. When compared to non-discretionary spending like Social Security defense spending is pretty small.

Not sure who you include in "your generation", but I'm 37 and I just spent the last 4 months or so watching a Super Metroid double-elimination tournament and enjoyed every minute of it. It also re-introduced me to several speedrunners in the community and I'm now a regular watcher and occasional streamer on Twitch.
I doubt that this is an isolated incident. I've directly seen a few cases when content that was unpopular with a large group was removed for ridiculously false reasons and heard of various FB groups trolling each other by getting each other banned.
I can’t believe you actually took my comment to mean that, which leaves your response as a truly bizarre one.
We can have differing ideas of what a government's job is.

In my opinion, one of the jobs of government is to address clear market failures. On the securities side of things, 1929 was a clear market failure. On the environmental side of things, Love Canal was a clear market failure. The government is in the best position out of any entity to address these failures, to prevent a horde of swindlers from tanking our economy or to prevent some corporate stooges from poisoning elementary school children.

I'm actually fine with the government acting to "increase participation in the market". That's why we try to have a steady 3% inflation, to encourage market participation.

> … as if nuclear war might be a thing that it was unreasonable to be against.

When a nuclear war is less bad than the alternatives, then it is unreasonable to be against it.

A lot of Western anti-nuclear sentiment was simply manufactured by KGB manipulation of useful idiots. It's sad: if not for fifty years of anti-nuclear propaganda, we might be off of coal and safely generating energy for the next couple of centuries while we work on environmentally-friendly ways to produce solar cells. Instead, we're belching forth pollution — to include radioactive pollution — at an unprecedented rate, decades after the fall of the Soviet Union, whose security the anti-nuclear propaganda was intended to ensure.
What is the justification for saying that new shares are worth more than existing ones?
That's exactly right. The powers-that-be are absolutely terrified that they have lost control of the narrative. They have had almost total control over the "public debate" since 1917 when Woodrow Wilson created the Committee on Public Information, the first official federal propaganda arm. Ever since they have used a variety of legal and illegal (from the Espionage and Sedition Acts of 1917 to Cointelpro) means to keep an iron grip on public discourse. With the of the internet came the (mostly) free, unfettered, uncontrolled dissemination and spread of information. While this has been of utmost concern to the ruling class for several years now, their total failure with the collapse of the Hillary Clinton campaign, which had the complete support of every establishment propaganda arm, was a real shot over the bow (that their defeat came at the hands of a corrupt, carnival barker was salt in the wounds). These attempts at censorship and information control are a last gasp to control the narrative. Unfortunately, the outcome is still very uncertain, with the power of the propaganda of the ruling classes on full display among the multitudes who welcome their calls for censorship of "fake news".
It's worth pointing out that police have turned up for wellness checks and ended up killing people. As this example shows, police are increasingly tasked with responding to mental health emergencies despite being poorly trained and situated to do so:

I can remember when game over meant try again from the start.
I’m one of these new subscribers (from Viet Nam) that this campaign appeals to. The offer was too good to ignore ($1 for first 6 weeks, $4 each week after for the Guardian Weekly). There’s a bit of adjustment from my side because stories and writings in the print edition are different from my usually top-HN, popular-Twitter articles, but I’ve grown to it. Local expats in my place have no idea of this free int’l delivery, so for a long time they have been paying local importers/newstands a heft ton of money for these papers.
> I think what many people don't know or understand, is that facebook is not the internet.

Once, I had a debate online with someone. I linked them an external (non-facebook) link. Their reply was "sorry, my data-plan only covers Facebook".

That to me is very scary. This means that a lot of people like that individual are getting their online content from Facebook's trending news and nothing else.
