I'm not claiming any of them are. On the contrary, I'm saying there's a risk that some of them could be partially operating like this and if they were, you wouldn't be able to tell.

This is high risk. No kidding.
I don't have any hard science for you, but I have noticed that iPhones do a significantly better job at filtering infrared compared to the Android phones I own (mostly older Nexus devices). I typically use an Android to see if LEDs are emitting instead of my iPhone because it's so much fainter on the iPhone.

The photo in my article was taken with an Olympus mirrorless camera.
I think that high volume validation datasets for predicted/measured behaviors will be important. Maybe automation in experiment is necessary to get to that size, but if you can't verify it, it's not science.

Props for the reference, but no; Stellaris is built around real-time and politics (I mean just look at Paradox's other games!), and generally doesn't have "win" condition. There's an analogy to be made in FOSS/non-FOSS, but not when considering gameplay and feel.

FreeOrion is related to Master of Orion; and actually, if you want a "modern" remake that really does a good job of capturing that feel, take a look at http://stars-in-shadow.com/

Actually, SIS is the only recent game that reminds of FreeOrion/MOO. Everything else has notable departures from that 4x model - Endless Space has built in story lines, Sword of the Stars has incredibly different species, etc.

(PS - Stellaris is super rad and I've sunk far too much time into it)
Sure, there's honest and upstanding ways of explaining all of this. But there's also billions of dollars being exchanged on opaque markets every day so there's also the usual suspects that brings with it. In valley units, that's a unicorn startup every hour.

Prison—as distinct from captivity that is primarily slavery for the benefit (economic or, for some high-status captives, prestige) of the captor—is a fairly modern thing, and economically unviable in ancient societies independent of its moral dimension.
I think we are getting stuck on his smallest investment. Even for a middle class person spending the time to research and write a 101-page challenge of the patent far outweighs investing $6k.
Are you being ironic? This won't be available to the public, much less even invented for at least a generation or two.
> general public does not think about it that way.

I agree that general public is utterly incapable of understanding basic concepts of probability. (See: Clinto had probability 52% of winning. Trump won -> Forecast was wrong. How stupid is that?) I just commented when you told you have not seen safe even defined in a probabilistic way.

> Yes, sometimes a feeling can be closer to the truth than a lot of complicated math done with wrong assumptions.

To me that is like a stopped clock is correct twice a day compared to a working clock that is just having wrong time all the time.

At least with the complicated math you are forced to spell out the assumptions and there is a chance you are able to recognize them before it is too late.
> ... should be made illegal

Sorry this may seem personal but my own experience is that any phrase ending with these words is usually a good indicator of cluelessness.

It often means: I don't understand the motivations and reasons of the parties involved, I disagree with free and voluntary contracts and my opinion should override the will of the signing parties.

Needless to say, there are many unintended consequences, a "talk and don't ask or listen" attitude and a naive egocentrism at play that is also often prevalent in politics.
Ha ha! And you have to do it yourself! It's the primary reason I made my wife CEO of our company -- although in hindsight it was a brilliant move on my part. She's Japanese and I can't tell you how useful it is to have someone who understands the nuances of Japanese culture managing your company.

But wrt to credit cards and foreign transfers: I remember when we asked the bank manager if we could get a credit card and he actually laughed. At the moment I'm funnelling all of our foreign money through a personal bank account -- which my accountant says is pretty common.

As an aside if anyone needs to receive foreign currency in Japan, take a look at the rates for personal accounts in Shinsei bank. Not connected with them except for being a happy customer. Would be delighted to move the corporate account there, but they said "No" :-)
gah! yes there is misinformation everywhere but 99% of it doesn't come from experts.

Or you only show Jane's posts to her closest friends, to minimize the reach of an idea without directly censoring it. Even if those friends share it you can limit the reach to their closest friends too. If users complain that they're getting their exposure limited base on content, just throw up your hands and say "but it's the algorithms that determine the best content to share to your friends, not us!". I'm pretty convinced that Google and Facebook already actively do this.

You bring up a good point with text generation, which made me think of what can be ascertained by writing style. Certainly gender, nationality or regional location, education level, probably something akin to IQ. I'm not sure whether there exists such a thing as a "writer's fingerprint" but if there is, you wouldn't even be able to write things anonymously even with a fake/stolen/alternate account.
I disagree. You can't apply regular market theories on Bitcoin. The world hasn't experienced this before and it will open up a whole new field of economics. In 10 years you'll see that I'm right.
Ah! thanks, much appreciated. I will get it fixed asap.

I guess. They could also be inventing the buy side entirely and just taking people's money. They also could be Nigerian princes who just really need my SSN to access their family inheritance.

I still don't think selling "taking a few days" necessarily is evidence that there is a ponzi scheme going on, though.

When I sell equities in my Schwab account, it takes two days to access the cash. I'm pretty certain Schwab isn't running a ponzi scheme.
Cell phone telco propviders have monopolies on radio spectrum that come with certain obligations, regulations, and conditions. That's in addition to inheriting the rules from land telephony and public infrastructure/title II stuff.

You can bet that this kind of thing will happen if they can make it happen though.
I saw a ted talk, I think, about the ideal diet. It really depended on how the individuals body responded to foods. Some people can eat rice all day wit minimal glucose spiking and others spike after very little rice. They suggested getting a blood glucose meter. They then suggest monitoring your response to various foods. Look for foods that cause the least spiking and most stable glucose levels.

Going vegan is definitely helpful.
I agree. Also, It is a trend in some EU countries. This kind of program tries to boost the economy.

If I have to say something on HN to get a response, the answer is No since I contacted Discord bout it when it originally happened. You can go find that email if you supposedly 'care' and reply to it.

Ah, you've changed it to say its an invalid email when I tried using the same service again. ;)

Also the original account is gone now so yay I guess? Someone went back and deleted instead of disabling them.

I'm guessing someone discovered the email service I used originally and disabled the account before I ever bothered to actually use it.

> We definitely don't have any rules that hard auto disable accounts.

You actively oppose privacy and block registration now instead of disabling them. I guess there was a policy change but (honestly) I don't care.

Y'all actively created rules in attempt to block average users from having some privacy on your platform.
That's exactly the sort of complaint I'd expect to hear from a mushroom apologist. Are you some sort of fungus yourself?
And....your solution is to write an article claiming this is fraud?

So, if I use your logic - there is no disclaimer/disclosure on your holdings ie there is opaque-ness. Hence, you have written this article to try and spread FUD to cause market panic.

There is no room for honest and upstanding way to explain your actions.
And the developers will have been replaced by AIs by then.
> could build entire systems at the speed of thought

That's kind of of the problem, you;re limited by the speed of though when coding. For most things I can type waaaay faster than I can think (a faster keyboard wouldn't help, just as neural output interface wouldn't help much either), and information can be displayed on a computer screen waaay faster than I can read it (so a higher bandwith neural input interface wouldn't help either).

What would truly help would need to be much more complex than that, like something that takes input from something, processes it, then spits the output to other part of the brain, hopefully in a way synced with current visual perception. Or takes input from one part of the brain, processes it through some algorithm, then spits output to another one.

My point is that there's a lot to be gained... but I don't think that trivial implementations of BCIs would bring much gain to highly thinking-limited tasks, so the first generation of them would not be of much use to philosophers, software engineers or mathematicians. Probably the first iterations will help most people fighter/drone-pilots or surgeons, who are truly limited by interfaces-bottlenecks, not thinking bottlenecks.
Must have been some bug with my configuration then: There were scaling issues resulting in some buttons being unclickable.

> Of course there would be no direct consequences to either, but HR and managers would know (because they check) and it would affect their opinions of me negatively.

It's one thing to fire someone for having a political opinion (like Google recently) and just to have an opinion about people you work with.

You can't help having an opinion. We're not logical robots. All we can hope to do is to be aware of or decision making process d not to let irrelevant opinions influence it.
I occasionally look at my editor and know the exact changes or code I’d like to write, and feel a small pang of annoyance that I can visualize it perfectly yet still have to type it out.

Economists are the worst predictors in this space and the ones that are constantly wrong about Bitcoin being dead.
If examine.com's metaanalsyses are based on legitimate research papers -- and you've read some of the papers yourself and find that they indeed provide support for the article citing them -- then i'd say yeah, use the site.

i guess to respond to your question: most biomedical research today is eminating from universities and university-affiliated entites. page for page, i generally wouldn't expect a .com web site -- the majority of which are probably just attempting to generate advertising revenue -- to be on par in terms of accuracy etc with a .edu site. generally, I've found one of the best ways to improve the signal-to-noise ratio is to filter to a specific set of domains (e.g., ,edu, .gov) when searching online.
> With the additional benefit that it keeps people warm/cool?

Most of that energy is wasted because of the architecture and irrational desire of 24/7 comfort AC blasting at the coolest setting.

> Can you please tell me why you are not interested in solving this problem? My guess is that it is impossible to do with Bitcoin, and people dismissing the energy problems want to protect their investment rather than develop better technologies.

Problem is solved easily by clean energy sources.

There are bigger problems to solve, like heating and cooling, like CO2 footprint of animal agriculture, like deforestation of Amazon forest for Argentinian and Brazilian steak etc.

We are here mostly programmers, we don't profile the code and then optimize the fastest function, but the biggest bottleneck. Bitcoin is no where near the bottleneck and all scaling solutions will require less energy per transaction.

Problem is also automagically solved by the market. If mining gets to expensive to do, miners will figure out how to use less energy.

For example, market is not solving all of the above environmental problems because, for example, there is not fair market in animal agriculture.
I think that's a situation pretty far divorced from our current reality, but I see your point.
congrats and glad to hear it.

Exactly this. The order in which technological advances will take place as we approach whatever the "singularity" will be will not match our intuition at all!

Imho the future will surprise the shit out of us, despite our ability to anticipate some of the advances... The order shit will happen in will surprise everyone and lead to really unexpected events.

Hopefully we can handle at least some of the things right and steer stuff towards a "successful merge" ( https://medium.com/wordsthatmatter/merge-now-430c6d89d1fe )
New Insights into the Ridiculously Resilient Ridge: Why California Is So Dry
Agreed I have syringomyelia which causes intense pain and on a bad day I limp (imagine walking with your leg encased in water close to boiling point).

On a good day you can't tell.

I still cycle and swim and am in better than average physical shape for 37 but as soon as I tell someone it all becomes about my (mild) disability.

The drugs work and I live a normal life but they come with significant side effects.

Some of them are funny (they use gabapentin off label to treat premature ejaculation - so I had to explain that one to my GF early on), they also make me wooly mentally, it's not a bad feeling but I'm a bit of a space cadet for a while after they kick in.
Right. When you save session files full of tabs you get the history of the tab (how you found it, what keywords, etc) in addition to the site itself. It's very useful.
Sorry if you read it that way. I was interested in talking about risks and what could be happening, not claiming anything as true. It's both within the range of possible and has historical precedence.
Am I the only one who finds Discord iOS unusable due to the small font which is not changeable? Also the font color is of low contrast whether you in its light or dark theme.
I agree with you, I'm just saying that the reality is that people will have worse opinions of you / treat you worse if you have political opinions they consider unsavory. So practically speaking, if you are interested in your career, you shouldn't voice any controversial (given your employer) political opinions on public social media.

I don't want to give HR any more reasons to mistrust me: say I supported candidate X, and HR think's X and their supporters are racist/misogynist/anti-immigrant. Now if someone raises a complaint about me, legitimate or not, and HR sees that, they're more likely to assume I'm guilty. And at the end of the day, all else being equal (and it often is with HR because they aren't really able to evaluate technical work well), who gets the promotion: the person HR sees as edgy, controversial, and potentially an asshole because of their political views, or the person who doesn't share their political views?

Things shouldn't be this way, but they are.

I just don’t understand why you’d put one of these on your house rather than a garage, outhouse, box. Or get things delivered to work or to a neighbour. There are some cases where this isn’t possible but I think you could spend the same money on a solution that doesn’t grant access to your whole house, even using the smart lock. Additionally, this seems to create a commonly accepted situation where anyone who looks like a delivery driver can have a go at a front door without anyone batting an eyelid.

MORE LUX: light bars for SAD
Just a guess, but you were probably trying to sell them their own data (total people in/out, peak busy times, largest/smallest crowd in location, etc.). That's not what business owners want to know the most. In my experience with retail-type stores, the owners and managers are more concerned with how their competitors are doing in comparison. If you were to sign up many related customers into a network and share quasi-anonymous data with store owners like, "a similar sporting goods store to yours located ~0.5 miles away just set a new weekly attendance record in the sporting goods category..." or, "a sports bar located within ~0.4 miles of your location is now at 80% capacity...", that is information owners will pay for. Rank the store against their competitors to show them what percentage of customers they are getting out of the total segment. The only difficulty is signing up enough related stores to provide meaningful data.

amazing paper. Thanks for sharing.
Occasionally... unless you're either a genius or you work in highly verbose language and with horrible tooling, you likely spend the other 90% of the time staring at a screen full of code you've already loaded into your brain and thinking stuff like "wtf, dude, wtf, wtf does THAT do, why is that wired to that, how tf does that work, shit, that makes no f sense" :)

So that "miracle" interface would give you, like, what, a 4x increase on 10%, that's like a +4% productivity, in its first iteration, coupled with costs and risks that would make it a really tough sell. We're going to need to go pretty far with the nano stuff to get a good (cost~risk)/(bandwith~latency) out of it. Hopefully there are people working on it and people pouring money into it...
Also moved here 10 years ago (though spent 2 years in the UK in the middle). I'm married to a Japanese woman and her family accepts me completely. My mother in law refers to me as her son and introduces me that way to people who don't know me. Some people are surprised, but people treat me exactly the same way they treat everybody else.

In my neighbourhood, I know pretty much everybody (mainly because I work from home and go for many walks). People call out to chat with me and I'm involved with community groups, etc. One time one of the young girls in the neighbourhood had a friend over and the friend said "Hello" to me in English. The girl said, "Don't bother. He's Japanese." She had no idea that I was Canadian.

The inside/outside issue is really the key. Everybody is an outsider in some context. Understanding your place and whether or not you are inside or outside is critical. If you want to be inside, you also need to follow the inside rules -- even if you don't agree with them. In my experience, this is where people get into troubles. If you say, "Hey, I don't agree with that, I don't want to do it" the response is universally, "OK. There is absolutely no problem with that. You are outside."

In short, there is no problem getting inside, but you actually need to want to be inside -- not one foot in and one foot out. If you want to be accepted as Japanese, then you have to be Japanese. Most immigrants do not actually want this for some reason.

For all I know, you could very well be right when it comes to surveillance, sadly.

The saving grace is western countries can't be nearly as blatant as China when it comes to outright censorship, in fear of the political backlash that (one would hope) would still incite. So the chilling effects on speech won't be quite as dramatic as they are in China until that changes (i.e. people are still unaware that there are things they're not "allowed" to say due to lack of censorship, so they won't start to self-censor out of habit or fear).
Yeah, the immensely stupid slideshow URL thing alone makes me not want to try this game.
The claim is that they are in fact holding an equivalent amount of USD for all Tether. It's an IOU. (No comment on whether this is true.)
