There are however, legal restrictions around who can collect a TFN and what it can be used for.

Section 8 of the Privacy (Tax File Number) Rule 2015:

TFN recipients must only request or collect TFN information from individuals and other TFN recipients for a purpose authorised by taxation law, personal assistance law or superannuation law.

(2) When requesting an individual’s TFN, TFN recipients must take reasonable steps to ensure that:

(a) individuals are informed:

(i) of the taxation law, personal assistance law or superannuation law which authorises the TFN recipient to request or collect the TFN
(ii) of the purpose(s) for which the TFN is requested or collected
(iii) that declining to quote a TFN is not an offence
(iv) about the consequences of declining to quote a TFN

(b) the manner of collection does not unreasonably intrude on the individual’s affairs, and

(c) the TFN recipient only requests or collects information that is necessary and relevant to the purpose of collection under applicable taxation law, personal assistance law or superannuation law.

This is a very important point. The problem with satisfying people's desires for neutrality is that people have incompatible, often incoherent ideas about what neutrality is supposed to be.

Naturally, some people don't like Wikipedia's version of neutrality, though I happen to think it's quite a good one: neutral in its reflection of what reliable sources say, not substantively neutral on subject matter. So I'm not particularly troubled by the problem as it pertains to WikiTribune.

The fact that some people don't like their notion of neutrality isn't a problem with them in particular, so much as an inevitability that reflects the way people with incompatible opinions will react to any possible version of neutrality. So the question should be which among the notions of neutrality that will inevitably anger some people is the most preferable.
why do IoT devices have to connect to the cloud?

Because otherwise you're in the business of explaining to non-technical users how to open up ports in their NAT firewalls and do other fun things required to make the device Just Work(tm) from any Internet connection.

It's important IMO for device vendors to offer as many options as possible in that regard. Ideally it should be possible to use a given device with a paid service sponsored by the manufacturer, a free service run by anyone else, a private server running on the customer's own LAN, or with no external servers at all.
You are mixing two fundamentally different things. I made it clear I am not referring to robots containing humans. A person wielding a hammer is fundamentally different than a pre-programmed hammer some human unleashed on it's own. I consider the latter a serious threat.

If you don't mean "right" than don't use that word. As is you have redefined it to be practically meaningless.

I'm not convinced you did re-define it. Your edit makes it more clear:

"it's not because I'm giving robots special treatment"

Yes, you really are. You are arguing that since it's owned by someone it has "plenty of right" to use the road. That's wrong. Par with humans is as special as treatment gets.

F(r) = -F(h)
ma(r) = -ma(h)
a(r) = -a(h)

Which a is more important? Should we treat them even remotely the same when one a ends a life and the other a causes a financial loss?

I mean... oops. Sorry for the hammer malfunction. We sent out a patch and fired someone though.

Admit it, the end solution is to just remove humans from having direct control over their KE and direction? Right? Programmers are always smarter aren't we?

I often wonder if the pre-programmed car proponents realize what side they are on in the war on general purpose computing.

I don't want this comment to be construed as a partisan hack, which is the last thing in the world that will bring about any real unity in the country. Anyways, you might be interested in Senator Ben Sasse's book, "The Vanishing American Adult", or other of his writings (his twitter account is often amusing.)

https://www.amazon.com/Vanishing-American-Adult-Coming-Crisi...

From a review on The Atlantic:
"He believes Americans have lost their sense of personal integrity and discipline. For the country to deal with the troubles ahead—including automation, political disengagement, and the rise of nativist, huckster politicians, he says—people must recover their sense of virtue. The republic depends on it."

Very good points. We all of course remember Bush's "Mission Accomplished". Yeah, losing territory is not the whole story. However it's an easily noticeable benchmark, and it's hard to claim ISIS holds a grip in the region if doesn't control cities and towns like it did.

> They follow the same plan as the Obama administration:

It depends how its executed. I would imagine the general outline would be the same, unless we switch to boots on the ground, or not using drones and so on, but sometimes it is the tweaks and adjustments that make a difference. At least looking at the territory it controlled, there was a much faster contraction there under Trump. Maybe Obama's plan finally had come to fruition and territory contraction coincided exactly with Trump's taking over the presidency, but that's a bit of a stretch I think.

Moreover, as much as we can say Obama had the same plan, it's good to remember that ISIS also grew on his watch. I don't believe that something like ISIS took us completely by surprise as government officials claimed. US had its fingers in the pie in the region since the Cold War, we might not have directly supported it, but we knew about it and maybe even allowed it grow, in order to destabilize Syria.

However some elements like developer manged merges and devops blending of roles is useful.

it seems like the main problem this solves is around the ergonomics of getting Rust to compile your code down to SIMD instructions.

having run into this while working on Rust code a while ago, I really appreciate this library! I would expect Rust users to come to this library when they find themselves working with numeric arrays on Intel CPUs, much like I did.

I think it would be quite useful to me right now, whether or not it turns out to be fast enough to make users doing array computations come to Rust. (I'd guess probably not, although it could get there!)

There is now potential for side-projects involving small-scale manufacturing thanks to recent advances in 3D printing.

A friend and I created Enstaved [1] ("Customized Staves and Accessories") after a prop that we designed and 3D printed for a talk I gave at PyCon AU proved really popular.

We did put in quite a bit of up-front work designing a product line and a website. Now most of our job is promotion and manufacturing the staves people order. Frankly that doesn't feel like "work" at all...:)

50 but it doubtful at the savings rate I am going at. Not retire retire, but no longer have to worry about being stuck in a crummy job and take breaks or move companies as I see fit.

* Don’t rent in a high cost of living location; purchase in such a location only under the assumption that your property might lose value

* Don’t waste money on depreciating assets (never buy a new car, no iPhone upgrade cycle)

* Do live below your means, keep your expenses in check, credit card debt must be avoided like the plague; no cable TV, cheap phone service, no Starbucks

* Do save at least 15-20% of your pretax income in retirement accounts, the more the better (contribute enough to your 401k to get company match, then max IRA, then contribute again to 401k up to annual limit, then taxable accounts, generally); I suggest a low expense ratio target date fund for retirement accounts, with anything above %0.20 being exorbitant

* Don’t value your ISOs at anything above $0; cash is king

* Don’t get attached to your job; you are a mercenary, attempting to extract as many dollars per hour as you can (either FTE or freelance); friendly coworkers and beer in the office fridge doesn’t cover retirement expenses

* Do be interviewing and job seeking passively to stay practiced and ready

* Do fund ways to invest in productive, income generating assets (rental properties are my thing, YMMV)

Good luck!

Nope. I remember when MTurk came out, used the API and tried some of the work units. For the most part, it really is moot though for most tasks now, except for insanely complex ones or new business processes that haven’t been automated yet. This decline of usefulness is due to the fact recent AI/ML/DL, after little training, can complete mundane, repetitive tasks faster and with far better accuracy and precision than all humans.

It's incredible how often I see people who are "sure Bitcoin is going to be worth millions", or otherwise singing it's praises, also claiming there are "no fees".

It seems very few Bitcoin holders have ever even attempted to utilize Bitcoin. Despite holding a decent amount myself, I think things are going to get very messy when reality sets in and the market runs out of greater fools.
Lvl5 (YC W17) – Come Build Self-Driving Computer Vision and Maps
Airline passengers don't generally care about it being safer on average. If the autopilot can't make a landing in a 30 kt crosswind all of the time people won't fly on that plane. People have much higher standards for acceptable safety with aircraft than cars. Also, autopilot isn't really designed to replace the pilot. Its designed to reduce workloads during departure and approach and make cruise less shitty. Autopilots are entirely unable to handle even simple failures and even in many cases do simple things like climb at a specific airspeed or do wind drift corrections. Car are just much simpler, have fewer consequences, and have lower expectations of safety. Until we get more versatile autopilots, aircrew acceptance, and/or lower expectations of safety, I don't see self-flying airliners anytime soon.

And I would add for the crowd that one can easily check what sort of NTP server is on offer. NTP tracks the "stratum" of a server, which is how far the server is from an authoritative time source:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Time_Protocol#Clock_st...

If you're using ntpd, you can check it like this:

$ ntpq
ntpq> peer
remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter
==============================================================================
*y.ns.gin.ntt.ne 249.224.99.213 2 u 815 1024 377 1.230 -4.148 1.825
+hadb2.smatwebde 209.51.161.238 2 u 809 1024 377 49.672 -2.073 3.869
+six0.ntp3.mattn 128.227.205.3 2 u 409 1024 377 63.721 -4.328 2.669
-hadb1.smatwebde 45.79.187.10 3 u 808 1024 377 49.767 -6.600 2.927

These are 4 servers out of the NTP pool; 3 are stratum 2 and one is stratum 3. The * means it has selected the first, the + means it likes the next 2, and the - means it has discarded the last one.

I work at a global (nominally European) company with some of its largest offices in Europe. When I have floated the idea of hiring in Europe instead of Seattle, because of wage costs, I have been informed that it doesn’t save much money despite the wage difference. The employee overhead in the EU is (to my USian mind) astonishingly high. The UK is not as bad as the continent, but I floated that too and was informed it all washes out the same.

In short, the apparent arbitrage opportunity doesn’t actually exist. As you would expect in any semi-liquid, semi-efficient market.
Actually this raises an interesting point (gah), how is "1,25" vocalized? Do they say "1 point 25" like non-Europeans do?

Have you thought about doing adblock for podcasts? One couldn't adblock unique reads of ads, but many podcasters read an advertisement once and then include that read in multiple podcast episodes. And there are tons of ads that aren't read by the podcaster and include in multiple episodes.

I figure any block of audio longer than a few seconds that appears in more than one podcast episode could be snipped.

I think it would have to be desktop software since if it were a service and edited the podcast files then it would be copyright infringement. I guess it could be a podcast player and not actually distribute the edited files but just the timestamps to skip ads.

Personally I'd like software I can run over a directory of mp3s that would remove duplicate sections. Any thoughts on feasibility? I'm surprised it hasn't been done yet.
