Can you give an example of something relevant here which does not have a moral component?

There is something to your point regardless, but moral disparities do not proportionately account for the disparities here. The situations are more complicated. The political types of topics which seem to suffer here are laden with some impurity with considering. Many cultural and moral values shift like the wind, so why do political concerns seem so immutable? I think we would be fools to accept this as simply a moral disparity. I encourage considering a more complex model of social relations. The more significant influences at play here are symbolism, identity and politics.
Not in this case it isn't, due to the size of the population figures.

Those European nations that don't allow gay marriage collectively represent several hundred million people.

Besides, the majority of nations in the world are small, that doesn't excuse them not legalizing gay marriage. 70% is a very high number of nations in Europe to not have legalized gay marriage.

If the US only had legalized gay marriage in 15 states, such as California, New York, Washington, Massachussetts, etc. - it would be properly mocked as regressive and backwards.
Bitcoin is a ~democracy, and those questions will be answered. Buying bitcoin is a lot like buying a USA backed dollar, it's an investment in the community. Its not an investment in the physical paper bills/bits.
It's fascinating isn't it? I'd love to see this vs Magnus.
Probably the wrong engine to test this with then. Although it's interesting nonetheless. It's pretty well known that chess engines have this trade-off between searching and evaluating. Among the consistent top 3 I suppose Stockfish is the easiest to test, being open source and all. It's pretty well regarded that Komodo has the best evaluation function though. Even if it doesn't keep up with the nodes/sec of Houdini and Stockfish, it's consistently up there with the top 3. The other chess engines doen't even come close. (Fire is probably number 4 but is on a league of it's own. Not quite good enough to challenge the top 3, but eats everything else.)

I know it's complicated, between the hardware differences, search method used, etc. But when claiming that NNs beat hand crafted evaluation functions, keep in mind that Stockfish is probably are not the best choice to compare, since it has made different tradeoff choices to get more depth (which goes back to search method and hardware choices).
"perfect" in a mundane sense derived from the literal Latin translation means done, nothing more. In that sense, this comment is also perfect.
What you suggested in your previous post is incorrect. You wouldn't have trouble googling it if it were true and known. Maybe you are confusing it with this change to the law in 2013:

The closest thing to what you suggest (and it is not that close) is probably Judith Miller's Iraq reporting for the NY Times, but that's mostly down to her incompetence.

The difficulty of imperfect information is from cross cutting through information sets and partial observability. With perfect information games like chess or Go, one can solve subgames with guarantees that the equilibrium is the same as for the full game. This is not the case for games like poker, which is why they have been difficult. In addition to that, for n > 2 players, there are no longer theoretical guarantees about converging to a nash equilibrium, which makes designing theory guided algorithms harder. Though empirical performance with n=3 of CFR is encouraging, I know of no results for n > 3.

Earlier this year, DeepStack, a system combining neural nets with search, competed live against humans without any side being dominant. Search policy guided training might improve its results, which are impressive compared to even 5 years ago, but this highlights how much more demanding imperfect information games are.

Yahoo is known to be a patents troll — for example I remember when they sued Facebook in 2012 [1]

Now I don't blame anybody for trying to milk Facebook and I'm definitely not rooting for Facebook, but it's the general principle that counts.

Yahoo has been using patents offensively. When big companies can no longer innovate, they litigate.

>Given that you don’t pay for the product I don’t see anything wrong here

Things might not be wrong and still be a problem. E.g. your neighbor practicing tuba (badly) during the whole day, in perfectly legal hours...

In fact someone can gift stuff with the best intentions, and still cause a problem.
Amazon doesn't provide a sandbox for any of its sites, making it quite challenging to integrate with Seller Central in any region.
The thing with a microphone - yes; but definitely not with an always-on data connection. I only turn that on when I actually need it; same with GPS and wifi.
Yahoo syndicates their search index from Bing (Microsoft) and adds a little UI differentiation on top. I hate to say it, but Verizon/AOL could easily run Yahoo's heavily partner-dependent search business into the ground. I already hear peer feedback about them becoming more bureaucratic and less practical, and starting to alienate other partners. By the time Mozilla needs some leverage against Google I'm sure they will find a willing counterparty in Microsoft. It's unlikely they will ever have to deal with Yahoo directly again.
You are right. However, know I made a choice and I have no problem admitting that I think Hitler is a more obvious war criminal than Kissinger, even if it's possible it's all just a construct by the mainstream establishment. Call me a sheep if you want.
Email at FastMail is encrypted at rest in this sense (full drive encryption).

It's not encrypted with a separate password per-user. We don't see any security benefits there, given that every user logs in almost every day, and if they have linked a device (many of our users use IMAP from mobile clients) they will connect and sync every time there's an update.

Which changes the vector to "hack server, passively monitor for a couple of hours, gain access". The logical backflips and single-minded security outlook required to consider that significantly different from "hack server, gain access" are the kind of security theater we studiously avoid.

Full disk encryption is a clear win with no significant downsides (slightly higher CPU consumption). Per-user encryption while still providing a full email service is not a clear win, and it has significantly higher downsides.
For those complaining about the TPU resources used during self training it is worth noting that Stockfish has used over 10,000 CPU hours for tuning its parameters. See https://github.com/mcostalba/Stockfish/blob/master/Top%20CPU...
Sure they can measure such things if they can define it. Only problem is that we disagree on their measurements and they aren't set in fact. It is really similar to the drug policy measure arguments. You know, "druggies will be walking the streets" and "young folks will start using and have no reason to avoid it!"

And more of the society will crumble sorts of bits.

It really doesn't matter if there are benefits or not in other countries, just like it doesn't matter if legal gay marriage hasn't doomed other countries. Facts aren't an issue in these sorts of disagreements, unfortunately.
It's already too much, though. As far as I'm concerned, only location and "is this an adult?" should be allowed.

> It doesn't pay dividends in ETH, it pays dividends in more kitties. Is that really a dividend?

No, that’s not paying dividends, that’s diluting share value.

The logical thing to do for a recipient of more shares is to sell them into the market for currency, thus diluting the value of remaining shares.
Rich people in a proof-of-stake system will stake their money because doing so gets them more free money for no cost. Rich people in a proof-of-work system have to choose between spending their money on hashing hardware and spending it on other things.
It's not only the scaling as a technical problem, but also scaling their Microsoft/Bing relationship.

DDG is effectively outsourcing the search infrastructure to Bing, which puts it in a precarious position.

If DDG becomes the default in Firefox, will Microsoft accept the increased traffic or exposure? Will they keep their current commitment to DDG?

“If this doesn’t work for IBM, if this doesn’t give Big Blue a chance to really capture a bigger slice of HPC and take some aggressive share in machine learning and accelerated databases, it is hard to imagine what could.”

No it isn’t; why did all non-intel processors fade into obscurity and why does intel architecture with all of its Zilog 80 baggage dominate? Because one can’t get a dirt cheap (under $500) POWER9 desktop or server; same goes for MIPS, UltraSPARC, anything else that’s modern and non-intel... why is ARM so popular? Because one can buy it dirt chip for tinkering with it at home. That is what propelled ARM and intel, people would install a Linux ISO on their parents’ old
PC and it built up familiarity.

Until that happens with POWER (or any other non-ARM, non-intel architecture) history has taught me that it will fail. Hardware has to be easily accessble and dirt cheap, and things like software mirroring or compilers must come with the OS and all the software has to be gratis. Otherwise history says - fail! Sometimes of epic
proportions (hp, sgi, Sun, IBM).

Sun Microsystems for example eventually realized that the software has to be gratis and open source, but they lived in this fantasy world where they thought they could charge anything they wanted for hardware — and would indignantly argue about it when it was pointed out to them that it’s way too overpriced and expensive. That lost them familiarity with the hardware and familiarity with the OS because for most people a second hand used PC-bucket with GNU/Linux was good enough and the target audience wouldn’t have known or cared about all the advanced features anyway. We all know how that ended.

First, nobody said it's "unexpected". We said that such a change is inconvenient for the user of the tool, which is trivially true -- whether they can/desire to control the development or not.

Second, even τηε premise of it being "unexpected" is not 100% true. None dev communities influence the development of projects all the times -- projects even have special voting boards for people to vote what features they want next etc.

Besides, it's very possible to not pay for a tool and still have a voice in the development of it. It just takes the development team to be willing to hear their userbase.

Last, but not least, direct payment is not the only/ultimate influence a user can exert on a project. Some FOSS projects are made by companies that want them to see wide adoption, so user complaints (of non coding users) matter very much -- things like Mongo for example.
Plastic bags don't really weigh that much. Maybe Americans use a little less plastic bags (do they, though?) but throw away more other stuff, like plastic gadget crap.
Pretty much a standard clause. Put it in your supplier contracts! You want to protect your product from degrading by changes in your supply-chain.

Bankruptcy or a new owner of your supplier may change their product so significantly that you want an immediate out without having to keep your side of the obligations. The supplier just restates with that clause that they won't change the product drastically and what that product is exactly is specified in the rest of the contract.
This is the kind of thing that really needs to be cited.

Anger Management Techniques for Dads – 7 Ways to Control Your Temper
Look at Figure 2, and remember that DM has access to a lot of hardware. At short thinking times, AlphaZero is weaker than Stockfish. This is equivalent to longer thinking times with weaker hardware, and it is likely that the former applications of NNs to chess had hardware that was a 1000-fold slower than what DM has access to. This means that even if the approach was identical to DMs, they would not have seen a better performance of NNs than the classical alpha beta approach.
20 minutes is very slow compared to, say, Paym.
Canada has a lot of guns (not nearly as many guns as the US of course), far more guns than most European nations. It has a far lower gun murder rate than the US. There are other factors in play than just whether guns are forbidden or not. For example, gun laws and the nature of those laws (or lack thereof).

Finland, Norway, Austria, France, Iceland, Germany, Switzerland - seven of the top 20 nations when it comes to guns per capita.

It's the nature of the gun laws, not the forbidden or not forbidden aspect, that plays a far larger role.
> This does not follow.

If the ban didn't actually lessen the number of handguns, then we don't have the left hand side of the implication! These are two things:

ban on handguns -> less handguns

less handguns -> fewer deaths

Someone argued that the second is true, and you seem to refute it by saying the first isn't. So maybe you aren't talking about the same thing. I'm going to argue that the second thing isn't controversial. What's difficult and possibly controversial is whether item #1 is possible in Brazil, or the US (where guns are already common).

My take on it is this:

stricter laws + wait 2 or 3 generations -> fewer guns.

fewer guns -> fewer deaths.
Yeah, a bunch of the API error messages are still in Japanese. Not that MWS in any region has ever been a pleasant developer experience.

There will never be conventional digital pre-programmed cars that "act exactly the same" or even remotely as "same" as a human driver. What is going to happen, is for a bit, the control writers will blame humans for their failure, followed shortly by the population's understanind and eventual ban in many places on this unworkable idea.

Tightly restricted societies that put "safety" over "freedom" will just end up banning non-elite direct human control of KE>nJ. The repercussions of that mistake have ugly ends.

The code is there in Visual C++, and people could already built native ARM applications to run on (jailbreaked) Windows RT. But reading between the lines, it seems that MS will not currently offer that option, but rather encourage people to write UWP/Modern apps, and emulate x86. MS themselves are compiling Office natively for ARM (like they did for Windows RT, and like they do notepad, calc, ...).

I wonder how UWP apps work technically on ARM. I heard apps will be compiled on the fly to run on ARM. Managed code (C#) just runs on the CLI or can be AOT compiled. But C++ is also a first-class citizen. Will you ship x86 code that is emulated/recompiled, or will you ship both x86 and ARM, or some kind of intermediate representation (like I think you do on iOS)?

I'm assuming you have 2FA turned on already.

It sounds from what you're saying like you (and at least a few other hacker news posters) want is an even stricter "no seriously, I promise I won't ever screw up" mode.

We try not to have those kinds of modes, because (for example):

It turns out, black and white security models lead to massive losses of availability when people screw them up - and people do. Though I have to confess to being amazed to see Tony Finch amongst the recent "oops". NASA is maybe not so much of a surprise.

Having said that - if there's enough demand, that would be a worthwhile feature. Accounts that aren't being used are cheap for us to run, and that flag would make the security team's job really easy - just say "no, go find your own way in" without having to review anything!

> Detrimental effects of cannabis use vary in a dose-related fashion, and are more pronounced with highly automatic driving functions than with more complex tasks that require conscious control, whereas with alcohol produces an opposite pattern of impairment. Because of both this and an increased awareness that they are impaired, marijuana smokers tend to compensate effectively while driving by utilizing a variety of behavioral strategies. Combining marijuana with alcohol eliminates the ability to use such strategies effectively, however, and results in impairment even at doses which would be insignificant were they of either drug alone. Epidemiological studies have been inconclusive regarding whether cannabis use causes an increased risk of accidents; in contrast, unanimity exists that alcohol use increases crash risk. Furthermore, the risk from driving under the influence of both alcohol and cannabis is greater than the risk of driving under the influence of either alone. Future research should focus on resolving contradictions posed by previous studies, and patients who smoke cannabis should be counseled to wait several hours before driving, and avoid combining the two drugs.

You appear to be quite wedded to the idea that "there were no bad guys, only a bad situation". Well, even among the Crusaders there were men who kept their word and men who didn't. For example, following the fall of Jerusalem the Fatimid garrison of Ascalon was only too ready to surrender, but they requested to negotiate the terms of their surrender to Raymond of Toulouse, the one man who kept his promises during the sack of Jerusalem. Unfortunately the other noblemen, who had had no compunctions killing people they had promised safe passage to, interfered in the negotiations and so Ascalon remained in Fatimid hands.

This is exactly what you pointed out - not keeping your promises and engaging in wanton butchery made future battles more difficult and yet there were men who did it anyway. Godfrey didn't do this, and neither did Saladin, and that meant they were a cut above the other men of that time. And that's not my 21st century opinion either, William of Tyre writing in the 12th century thought so too. There was a fundamental moral difference between Godfrey and his most of his fellow First Crusaders. _That_ is the point I'm trying to make, so when you say there was no fundamental moral difference, you're incorrect.

I have no interest in de-legitimizing any group apart from the far right. I do so by pointing out that they in 21st century, knowing all that I've pointed out, chose a battle cry used by butchers in the 12th century. I'm not Christian, I'm not Muslim, I'm not even remotely religious. I'm sorry you think I have an agenda against Christians in general, but that's just not true.

I think it would help discourse if you didn't immediately assume the worst possible intent when you see a comment by someone. Please consider doing that.
