Given the banter I’ve seen on some corporate Twitters (Wendy’s, Burger King) I wouldn’t be surprised if this was fake or only marginally true.
Or this, just showed up on my Twitter stream:

I think it’s now possible to convert any human cell into a stem cell, so we would probably make that tech cheap enough to widely deploy and then — given human nature — let poor people die childless.

Algol's null and SQL's null are unrelated. In SQL it allows many operations to pass through an out of scope value without exceptions, like the Maybe monad. In Algol, it serves as a broken reference causing exceptions on any use.
No individual owes me that, but this goes far beyond that. You have to keep in mind that any oppinion shared on line represents more than the person expressing it. And it may change the minds of others reading it. If anyone who works on controversial subject X gets a label of unethical that's not just "not owing them a reasonable discussion", you're impacting their life. Potentially ruining it.

Given your stance here, you're perfectly ok with the baker refusing to sell a wedding cake to a gay couple, right? Because the law was effectively the sea lion in your comic.
How is their cost basis on specific part of their business relevant? We're obviously not entitled to any one price point, much as HN threads seem to believe we are. Comcast's margins hover around 10-12%. If they need to keep them there, they can raise their consumer prices, or find alternative revenue streams. Why is it better that they raise prices for consumers?
"You're not my mom" is supposed to be a joke, just like "you're not my real dad" when someone asks you to do something. But the people responding to Netflix's tweet ("ok sweetie") seem to have taken it seriously and are upset with Netflix for "disrespecting" their customer. Is outrage really our go-to response these days?
If you believe that gerrymandering renders the election of Congressional representatives moot, what on Earth could possibly be the point of lobbying the FCC? They're two steps removed from accountability in that analysis.
No but they did attempt to ban neonicotinoids across Europe, against stiff opposition from the UK government.
The assertion that the tweet implies “you’ve been damaged mentally by someone in your past” is clearly accurate. No one seems to be denying that.

If this, coming from someone who doesn’t know you, does not sound offensive, what does?

Interesting that NULL = NULL is Unknown. I'm not a fan of random values trashing my equivalence relations (looking at you, javascript NaN), but I'm sure there are practical reasons.
While I suppose if you are in to nitpicking it's technically wrong but it's a generalisation that is excusable. It's not as if they are saying something inexcusably erroneous, like for example that JSON is the protocol used to route packets.

In effect I'm pretty certain that the vast majority of ISPs are running their own DNS servers. Making this point rather unimportant.

Any other technical inaccuracies?
But today we have people paying for high quality content streamed over the net. Its the business model of Netflix and Amazon.
That's the same, though.

Surveillance is only defined by collecting the data — not necessarily by how you use it.

But the data still exists, and as in this case, can still be used.

And apparently, Netflix rules on how to access or use it aren't particularly strict either.
From the article: "The SQL null value basically means “could be anything”."

I wouldn't call the NULL an unknown or as a "could be anything". It's tempting to think it's the Schrodinger's Cat phenomenon, but I choose to interpret the NULL in a less sexy way: Unknown means that the state DOES NOT EXIST. It's as simple as that. Remember in relational modeling (cardinality & ordinality) the thinking is always: zero, 1 or more than 1. The NULL is simply the zero here ( which means the state does NOT exist). Interpret it as "irrelevant".

Interpreting it as either true or false (because it is unknown) is over explaining.
Even if they are sharing with uploaders, they're less creators and more freeloaders pirating other people's YouTube content in most cases so this is pretty irrelevant at best.
If I'm interpreting you correctly, you can totally sue the FCC for matters like this, and in fact, people are doing just that. [1]

I agree, Netflix to me seems like the strangest website to make a "be careful about your data" point, and doubly so when that particular statistic (53 people watching a specific movie 18 days in a row) doesn't require any identifying information.
Those things sound fantastic.
The capitalist incentive is that failing to comply with regulations is more expensive than complying and potentially gets in the way of earning revenue (due to being banned from operating in the market, for example).

The evidence seems to point very strongly toward the need for regulations. This is notable in examples such as China which has stepped into the developed world recently and has not yet caught up with the same level of regulations. Resulting in excessive and dangerous pollution throughout the country. While on the flip side we've seen the rapidity and efficiency with which solid regulations can result in cleaner air, safer waterways, species brought back from the brink of extinction, and so forth. Regulation works. Period. It may not be perfect, but it does work and is an economically viable solution.

Why do these things happen? Why do they think it's acceptable to pollute? Because they perceive a short-term gain in profits and without being forced to consider the negative externalities of their actions they simply won't (or can't while operating competitively with their competition).
For me as a European this is really simple: foreigners are not welcome in the US so I won't bother the US with my presence.

If I'm going to be selfish: the US establishing itself as a politically unstable and inconsistent country means more opportunities closer to where I live. More talent staying in Europe, more talent attracted to Europe.

If I were American I would worry about important talent pools now finding more opportunities in Asia.

FoldingText is minimal only in terms of its UI. Behind the scenes, it parses your document, allows folding, focusing, builds an internal structure that can be queried using a query language based on XPath, and allows modes (think plugins) like todo lists, calculator, and schedules.

Would be happy to answer any questions you have, and FoldingText comes with a trial so give it a shot to see how different it is.
7 Industries That Will Be Taken Over by AI and Robots (And How to Adapt)
DataCaptive – Reach More, Sell More
> You need to read on industrial history if this is not obvious to you.

I'm asking questions to learn something from the discussion. Currently, my opinion is that regulations are necessary, but perhaps they aren't, and I would like to hear why.

> Think of it as an algorithmic problem - local optimization seldom leads to a global optimum. Hence, sometimes global tweaks can benefit an entire system.

To me, this sounds as if the power of the government needs to be huge and centralized? Because obviously local agents cannot come up with globally optimal solution (if the problem is not structured in a way they can).

For example, the huge use of insecticides and pesticides enables the industry of cheap meat and dairy. Regularizing insecticides and pesticides will most definitely increase the costs for the producers and the price of the product will increase. On the other hand, there are enormous subsidies in farming and will these subsidies now increase to keep the prices low?

These regulations, at least that's how it looks to me, are directly impacting the tax payer, not the industry players.

EDIT: I'm out of discussion. Getting to many downvotes for no particular reason.
Unfortunately that doesn't seem to work on mobile.
Are you sure you know what you're talking about? Are we talking about the same things here?

Are you saying that Star Citizen is using 64-bit doubles for their GRAPHICS pipeline? That's pretty much insane for the exact reason you mention--single (and half) precision float units are in the GPU.

Or are you saying "most games" use 32-bit floats for their PHYSICS calculations? Because that's also not a requirement and game dependent. Doubles are faster on many CPUs. There's a tradeoff for memory packing efficiency (using more cache and alignment issues), but floats are upgraded to doubles before being operated on on x86 and x64.

So for physics: Doubles are faster, and, they've been hardware accelerated for decades (even when CPU's were "32-bit").

But you mention both physics and graphics and seem to be conflating the two. The graphics and physics pipelines don't have to have related at all. Drawing with 64-bit natives is almost unheard of and would be incredibly slow on a GPU.

So what are we actually debating here?

Capitalism optimizes for the impact it has on the actors involved in the transaction. The party offering the service/product, and the party paying for it. The impact of other parties is not part of that equation.

So if you want create an incentive, have the health impact on society as a whole, impact the profits of the parties involved in creating the pollutants.

So you could for instance bind their taxes to some health measurements. Then you would have a market for capturing pesticides (if that's even possible).

Much simpler and probably more efficient is just to regulate.

> In 2012, the European Commission asked the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to study the safety of three neonicotinoids, in response to growing concerns about the impact of neonicotinoids on honey bees. The study was published in January 2013, stating that neonicotinoids pose an unacceptably high risk to bees...

> In response to the study, the European Commission recommended a restriction of their use across the European Union. On 29 April 2013, 15 of the 27 EU member states voted to restrict the use of three neonicotinoids for two years starting 1 December 2013.

> The UK, which voted against the bill, disagreed: "Having a healthy bee population is a top priority for us, but we did not support the proposal for a ban because our scientific evidence doesn’t support it."

> The decision was up for review in 2016. In March 2017, The Guardian printed an article which claimed that they had obtained information that indicated that the European commission wants a complete ban and cite "high acute risks to bees". A ban could be in place this year (2017) if the proposals are approved by a majority of EU member states

From page 7 of the 2015 Open Internet Order ( https://apps.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-15-24A1.pd... ):

> No Blocking. Consumers who subscribe to a retail broadband Internet access service must get what they have paid for—access to all (lawful) destinations on the Internet. This essential and well-accepted principle has long been a tenet of Commission policy, stretching back to its landmark decision in Carterfone, which protected a customer’s right to connect a telephone to the monopoly telephone network.

They're quoting the official order, written by Net Neutrality supporters.

I wonder what your opinion is of the free movement of people, goods, services and capital across 48 states?
You probably already know this, but of course it's useless to compare absolute material wealth between european and US citizens.

Again, you might already be aware of that, but I'd say it's much more important to consider the benefits that come with a european wage that might seem unremarkable in the US: Healthcare, education, social security are the most obvious aspects, but in general I'm sure your money, even if it's less in absolute terms, will buy you a lot more in europe.

Pollution generally involves a tragedy of the commons type situation. Ownership over air in the atmosphere and water in a river is fluid and diffuse, and benefits to polluting can acrue to specific persons while the costs of pollution are externalised and spread across everyone.

Sometimes I wonder if future generations will be sickened by the idea that individuals thought it was ok to drive cars that simply released poisonous gasses and particulates into the air rather than trapping and storing them for safe disposal. After all, we know it has already led to society wide increases in violence due to retarded brain development.

A libertarian/hardcore capitalist approach might be to try to actually codify ownership rights over these things and give them to persons who could exert them against polluters.

I and I suspect many others would find that pretty disturbing. I think the idea of being forced to pay rent for breathing someones air is shocking, but if nobody stands to benefit from providing good quality air, there is no clear capitalist incentive to spend effort creating and ensuring it. Without that we need some other mechanism to force polluters to pay for the costs of their behaviour instead of forcing them onto everyone else.

One idea would be that if there were enough detailed, trustworthy information that consumers might hold companies accountable for their abuse of community resources, and vote with their wallets but empirically speaking this kind of safeguard seems to work very patchily when it works at all.

Once those two possibilities are eliminated I'm struggling to think of anything that doesn't end up looking like regulation.
Yeah! Don't like your country's air pollution controls? Just move next door! Problem solved.

Sorry to mock you, but environmental concerns affect us all. Earth is one giant connected system; everything eventually influences everything else. It's just a matter of the latency of the connections. Pollution is something we need to tackle globally, because many types of pollutants don't break down naturally or necessarily become less dangerous. On the contrary, many continue to accumulate and are concentrated by natural processes into places where water drains--this is why we find these things in rivers and lakes first, and in the highest concentrations. They are everywhere, tho.
If people don't have ID how can you know that there's no fraud? That seems kind of circular. It's kind of amazing that this is even a debate, what kind of voting system doesn't require you to prove you're a citizen?

I'm not sure you should be so trusting of studies of ID fraud. For the longest time it was claimed in Europe that migrants who 'lose' their ID and commit asylum fraud are a tiny proportion of the total. Now there are large scale medical studies being done and it turns out in some countries that maybe 70-80% of the asylum seekers who claimed to be children are in fact over 18. Many of the lost ID documents were deliberately lost or destroyed to enable this sort of thing.

> Are they earning money because regulations need to be met?

Yes? If there aren't regulations, then waste will be disposed of by the cheapest method, which usually involves dumping it into the atmosphere and/or water. This is how it used to be until environmental campaigning in the 70s and 80s got the regulations introduced in the West, and far more recently in China.
It's noteworthy that SQL's 3VL follows Kleene's K3 logic (or, equivalently, Łukasiewicz' Ł3 logic) and not Priest's P3 logic. That is, in K3 and Ł3, an unknown (or indeterminate/null) value resolves to neither true nor false; whereas in K3, an unknown (or indeterminate/null) value resolves to both true and false.

There are some interesting ramifications of these properties, including a lack of tautologies in K3 and Ł3.
Indeed. [http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2017/05/where-have-all-insect...]
Because it represents (and behaves) as unknown and not as absent.

Sounds fishy, but would it be possible that the increase in salary would still end up coming from the pocket of the "employer"? Like some sort of "kickback" employee has to pay per year to a shell agency for recruiting kindof thing.

- actually a google AI trying to learn about the world from first principles
Thanks for sharing,
I'm curious to see these circles lighten depending on project activity (releases, conferences, etc).
I really don't understand this, as a non American. Don't nearly all Americans outside major cities drive cars? It's been almost mandatory to drive any time I've been there outside of Manhattan. And doesn't that require a driving license? Driving license issuance clearly works, it must do, otherwise you'd get lots of poor people who are poor only because they couldn't renew their license and couldn't drive to work. But I never heard of anything like that.

More to the point if nobody is checking that voters are eligible to vote how does anyone have any confidence in the outcome at all? What stops people voting multiple times or stops illegal immigrants from voting?

The internet is becoming the de facto way to connect anything. There's increasing automation, communication, and so forth between all these systems, and the internet is the way that's coordinated. But unfortunately the people taking these systems online don't always do so with the proper eye toward security rigor that is deserved. Sometimes that's down to a lack of expertise. Sometimes it's due to lack of resources or spending. Sometimes it's just because management folks refuse to listen to the professionals they've hired. In any event, it's a common problem even at the best of places. At organizations that lack a deep bench of current era IT/software talent (which is actually most organizations) it's very easy to make these mistakes.

If you want to see how to do it right, look at slot machines. There is a crazy amount of oversight on those devices. In comparison, voting machines and our industrial infrastructure is just a huge game of grab-ass. Whatever goes, goes, until something bad happens and then people slowly learn one lesson.
