You'll have to explain to me how a guy in Oklahoma having a passport and knowing the capitol of Hungary is relevant to nuclear policy and the threat of nuclear war. Your argument is all over the place. We're not all rich here in America, many of us weren't given great educations and have the money to travel.

Hi HN!

A few words about us...

First off, I'm happy that we made this and Relocate.me is finally live.

Our aim is quite simple – to make job relocation easy.

The relocation process is often stressful and fraught with uncertainty. Hundreds of questions go through your mind each day: Where to start? Where to search for jobs that are ready to sponsor your visa? What are the salaries like in a new country? How much income tax will you have to pay? And so on.

That’s why we put together tons of useful relocation info, salary calculators, accurate relocation tips, expat stories, and overseas jobs with guaranteed relocation packages – all in one source.

Tons of work has been done. Hope the platform will help in your job move. Good luck!

I think we are taking this the wrong way. The situation is "we more or less blamed Mirai on a State sponsored actor", and we focus our attention on "hey, you were wrong! How dare you suspect foreign governments? That's kind of racist!".

I see it as a minor concern, the major one being "Mirai is the definitive proof that your don't need the means and resources of a big hacking team financed by a government to cripple the internet. 3 kids who want to cheat on minecraft can do it". Sure, we already kinda knew that, but this proof is quite scary.
My ideas here revolve around enabling and promoting horizontal links between freelancers. When advanced ones legally outsource to n00bs, taking full responsibility for their jobs, as if it was done by themselves, and allowing money to be split in proportion invisible to clients. That is still not a finalized idea.

I think the breakthrough is how AlphaZero combines reinforcement learning with Monte Carlo Tree search [1].

* evaluate a position by playing lots of random games until the end using "likely" moves (in their order of likelihood). this gives you a "win rate" (i.e. empirical probability of winning) that is used as a position's score.

* train a neural net to predict that win rate based score (without having to play random games).

* use that neural net to predict which moves are "likely", thereby making the playing of random games more efficient, yielding more expressive scores, which in turn again improve the accuracy of the network.

* use the above described algorithm to self-play games, where every move is determined by looking at the win-rates given by the neural-net-driven quasi-random games, continuously training the score-estimating neural net.

This is just my high-level understanding without knowing too much about the topic. Monte Carlo Tree search is a little more complex than what I try to explain here.

That's basically what the entire article is about. The (very) short version is it really is possible to predict when things will be done, but if you tell the engineers or negotiate with the engineers (ie. turn it into a deadline), that counterintuitively tends to make the predictions worse instead of better.

Thanks. How does this play out when you're training against a single self played game then? Does it play a whole game with its current networks and then once it knows the winner it goes over each move after to train itself?

> and a policy network which estimates the probability that each move should be played.

So for this network, the input is the before and after board state and the output is the probability that this move should be played?
I wonder if that gets changed by the site or something. I remember thinking "I better be sure to use two spaces otherwise someone will call me out on it."

Here's a test. I definitely put two spaces prior to this sentence.

Amazon is so decentralized that the anti-patterns you list are probably only under your VP. If anything I think the company is taking action to trim bloated orgs. For example there are internal efforts to prune middle management issues.

(For those that don’t know, Amazon has only one middle manager level (L7); L6 is a frontline manager and L8 is a director. The anti-pattern is when you have L6 reporting to L6, L7 reporting to L7, L8 reporting to L8, L10 reporting to L10...)

I think this is an endemic problem with Elon Musk himself. He's always very optimistic about all his ventures (Tesla, SpaceX, SpaceX's Texas launch facility, Hyperloop...). He seems to have issues with estimating real-world issues that creep into every project.

However, like you said, he does always seem to get there in the end, one way or another.

"HTML", not "HTML 5", yes: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/

The W3C regularly publishes forks [1] of the WHATWG HTML Living Standard. They have good SEO, but not much relevance.

[1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2014Apr/0034...
https://github.com/whatwg/html/blob/master/FAQ.md

What parts of the standard are stable?

The whole standard is more or less stable. There are some parts of it that describe new technologies that have not yet been implemented everywhere, but at this point those additions are only added after the design itself is pretty stable. Such additions must also have the support of two or more implementers, per our working mode[1].

Why are there no stable snapshots, or versions, of the standard?

In practice, implementations all follow the latest standard anyway, not so-called "finished" snapshots. The problem with following a snapshot is that you end up following something that is known to be wrong. That's obviously not the way to get interoperability!

This has in fact been a real problem at the W3C, where mistakes are found and fixed in the editors' drafts of specifications, but implementers who aren't fully engaged in the process go and implement obsolete snapshots instead, including those bugs. This has resulted in serious differences between browsers.

I have been wondering about this — how much more enjoyable is it to read a book in it's original language, as opposed to just reading someone's translation?

> all existing HWRNG are relatively low bandwidth

The Intel on-die DRNG generator has a cited bandwidth of about 3 Gbps [1]. On my Raspberry Pi 3, it has an on-die generator via BCM-2835. Single threaded testing with dd(1) shows about 1.5 Mbps bandwidth.

Off-chip, using $25 RTL-SDR dongles, you can get about 2.8 Mbps of bandwidth. In fact, if you look at the Wikipedia article comparing HWRNGs [2], you can see that there are a lot of implementations with suprisingly high bandwidth. Some you'll empty your wallet with, others not so much.

The point is, there are plenty of HWRNGs out there with high bandwidth. Whether or not you trust them though, is a completely different matter.

> Why pay $2000 a month when you have the whole country you could live in for much less? Why should I have to pay increased taxes for your ignorance/provincialism? Is living in San Francisco a fundamental right?

The "is doing %s a fundamental right?" argument works a lot of ways.

Is preventing other landowners from building high-density housing on their property (which would decrease the "$2000/month" rents, a blindingly obvious signal of low housing supply) a fundamental right? The crisis mentioned in the article would be quite lessened if minimum rents in the area were far lower; which they would be if NIMBYs weren't abrogating the property rights of others by preventing the construction of new dense housing.
France has this notion of private copy, where you can legally copy basically anything you want as long as you keep it to yourself, your family, and maybe some of your friends. Check your legislation. It may allow what you're talking about already. (Though I agree with you even if it doesn't.)
I bought the 27-inch iMac in 2011. I don't mind the single screen, it helps focus actually.

The video card gave up last year, and now I can't be bothered to repair it.

A laptop is just so much more convenient. And they're not as expensive and underpowered as their desktop counterparts anymore.

Solidia insists that their cement can be used for all sorts of concrete application. I was less convinced, because much of concrete use requires pouring and curing on site. Ensuring such uses are covered in chambers full of carbon dioxide seems difficult.

Was interesting until I saw this.

Good for decorative concrete, though.

Around here all the applications of poured concrete are for foundations, basement slabs & walls, as well as commercial building applications.

Apple seems to think that deviating from their consumer oriented design philosophy is anathema, even when dealing with pros.
But do you have any evidence of a developer telling them, "I don't want the additional requirements GPLv3 would bring," and the FSF replying, "That's fine, you can just use GPLv3 without the such-and-such clause"?

>10Gb Ethernet

Does any consumer isp offer speeds faster than 1gb?
Yes, I've been thinking about something similar. Some time limit for individual's liability might be a good compromise. If you could wait to get some things free for personal use later without being in danger of legal problems it can remove the pressure from people... And on other hand if you really, really, really want to watch that freshest movie of an audio album right now, paying for it seems reasonable? Those who ca wait probably wouldn't pay for it in the first place, so copyright holders won't lose that much, at the same time keeping happy "long tail" of people who don't want rare/old things to vanish without means to access it. I wouldn't say that it's public domain though, because I still don't think it's ok to profit from it, like just downloading a book/movie and selling it or something like that.

Housing problem. There's not enough of it, and the people that moved here in the 1960s have fought tooth and nail from more people being able to move here.

It's a completely artificial construct that drives up the cost of living and robs the poor with rent seeking.

All of California's inequality problems go back to that. High salaries for some people help make it stronger, but the greed of the NIMBY homeowners is a far greater cause of putting people at risk for going hungry, because they have been trying so hard to keep them out of housing.
We're playing a game here where someone shouts out a 5-digit number and we have to guess the configuration (s)he picked.

I don't think it's bad that Disney protects things like Mickey Mouse and all of their old IPs. It's not just shareholders, there's a lot of people whose jobs depend on Disney being able to make money from these historic IPs. And I think it's fine that they keep it, it doesn't really hurt anyone.

The problem is the easiest way to protect this is by having Congress extend the copyright law duration on all copyrighted works. There are possibly other mechanisms that would work better at letting un-used IP go to public domain (and Disney would likely be fine with this), but it's complicated and I think that would require a political movement to get started and nobody cares enough to do it.
