I had always heard a different story about why Verizon wasn't coming to Baltimore, I tried to dig up some articles to read up more but since most of the events were in 2012 it was sparse; what I did find however suggested that not only is "blame the government" not true in this case, "blame the corporation" might, as I couldn't find any references to it being the Baltimore Govt. and not Fios who made the decision in this matter.

From a former councilwoman and president of Baltimore Development Corperation:[0]
“The City Council had nothing to do with the fact that Verizon FiOS doesn’t exist in Baltimore city,” said Cole. “The city didn’t stand in their way. They made a business decision.”

And from Verizon's own communication in response to redlining accusations:[1]
Verizon is not deploying FiOS in Baltimore City or in any other new areas in Maryland or across the country at this time because we’re now focused on delivering our FiOS services in those communities where we already have approved cable franchises and where we already have begun to build our FiOS network.

As an aside, While BGE had a handful of outages, usually mid-winter, Comcast had it beat for me by a long shot, across 3 different apartments. I unfortunately had Comcast or DSL as the only options. (And CLEAR, which was surprisingly good ~8 years ago for what it was)
>Huawei doesn’t just make smartphones and laptops; it’s also getting into mesh Wi-Fi.

Huawei is a giant in the networking world and has been for a long time.

I used to work in a lab in the networking space, and iirc Huawei products were blacklisted by the gov't because they were supposedly backdoored by the Chinese. Perhaps they were, I don't really know, but a couple years later (post Snowden) it became clear that their real motivation was ensuring people used networking gear they (the NSA) had compromised.
I grew up near The Villages. Really crazy to see such a cool innovation basically coming to my home town. That being said, I don't know if self-driving cars are the right approach in that market. Have you considered self-driving golf carts? =P

(for those of you who don't know, The Villages has arguably more miles of golf cart paths than highways, and all shopping plazas have golf-cart sized parking spots, so most of the retirees cruise around on their carts)
Those computers will only get cheaper over time as economies of scale kick in. Assuming Jack in the Box has at most one cashier working at a location around the clock at minimum wage that's $63K/yr in expenses before employer-paid taxes and maybe benefits for a 24 hr location (most are).

If it cost even $100K for a computer cashier you would come out ahead within 2 years, and you'd still have 3 years to deduct the remaining $60K in CapEx assuming a 5 year deprecation period. Why on earth wouldn't you do this?

This is why we need to start thinking about how to handle the loss of these low-skill jobs now. It's going to happen, and it's not going to be pretty if we don't plan for it.
I don't really get the pricing on code intelligence. So if I have 50 users and want Javascript, Python, and PHP, that's $750/month, even if 25 users only ever use Python?

When an AI does create a web page successfully in terms of replacing what a human can do completely, it will probably make the code in such a way that it is unmaintainable because why make it maintainable? We would not have to maintain it anyway. It would be like spaghetti code yet would look amazing on the presentational side. No one would give a damn anymore about coding styles or elegant frameworks like react, you could just bark at it and it would morph around. Sites/apps would just be thoughts you could construct on a whim that typically changed frequently or autonomously to produce the maximum desired result. Meanwhile we're sucking down nutrient packs floating in stasis in our travel pods spending the majority of our time in virtual consciousness.

I suspect that as we come to better understand genetics, we (as a society) are going to be more and more uncomfortable with the findings that we uncover. Physics and mathematics have made it long since clear that the universe is deterministic, that all the answers lie in the genes and atoms and equations we are made up of. The implications of this are dire - our society is built on exactly the opposite foundations; law and order assumes the criminals are acting of free will, education assumes all students are equal, and societal success rests on the notion that all men are equal. None of this is true. All of the implications can be twisted to serve our worst, or our best instincts.

Some will take this study to mean Homosexuality is a disease, to be cured. Others will reject it, to say the science is not yet "in", the study needs replications, meta-studies are needed to verify and corroborate it. We should embrace it, and say that it is good we are not a monoculture, embrace mutation and variation. To be human is to be different.
Wow, the bioethical implications of potentially identifying the mechanism of sexual orientation are staggering.

I wonder if / how long it will be before parents have the technical means—if not the legal right—to alter their child to be gay or straight through gene therapy. Or even simply selectively bring to term one orientation or the other.
Sure, there's always going to be that. But for people that work different shifts than the normal 9-5, it could be a boon for them. It wouldn't have to be a majority to have a huge impact on transportation and people's livelihood.

The first couple release of Mission Control were total ass, the window grouping pissed me off to absolutely no end.

Now if only they would put full screen on a separate button again, I HATE that the zoom button was been hijacked and I have to hold down option just to zoom a window. Why can I not change the default behavior? That would be a nice compromise at least.

That hardly seems like much of an explanation. Look at the old protocols Pidgin and other clients of the time (e.g. Trillian) spoke -- AOL, MSN, Yahoo... those didn't run over HTTP. More importantly, the companies did respond by changing the protocols; the client-writers kept up all the same. So that's not something that's different between then and now.

I wish everyone would just stop with this. I haven’t had a single problem with the service and neither have my friends, so unless you have reason to think these technical issues are widespread, who cares.

Discovery is an excellent show and well worth $6/mo to watch. If that’s not true for you, don’t pay it and watch the show later via some other medium.

The app isn’t even the worst streaming app: HBO Now has a significantly worse UI and in typical HBO fashion has 1.5 minute commercials at the beginning of EPISODES of TV (and lots of other awful UI issues).

CBS All Access was a bad idea but at the end of the day there isn’t anything to complain about: either the service is worth it or it isn’t. The only reason you see stuff like this article is that Star Trek fans are a bunch of whiners. A woman at the SF Star Trek convention was complaining that she couldn’t afford the service and felt excluded. While she was at a Star Trek Convention.

When I first learned about crypto currency on HN back in 2012 I was excited. It sounded like a fun technical project that could do good in the world. I bought some along the way, followed projects. Along the way it changed. Yesterday I saw a spam post on Reddit about joining a "pump and dump group", which I had to research. It's groups of people who coordinate a buy of a specific currency, spread false news about this currency to create a mania, drive up the price, sell it at a profit. Not only is this probably illegal, it's immoral. Maybe this is how people who were in the internet in 1992 felt in 2000?

I think you're referring to a different situation. It sounds like you're talking about a merge into a freeway or something similar. Your parent referred quite specifically to a cross road. The goal is not to merge, it's to get across. I agree with your parent; the action was necessarily dangerous. A person approaching a cross road must slow down, more so if there's a give way sign.

Chaos theory: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theory
I grew up 2 miles from The Villages and watched it blossom into the huge, beautiful community it is today. It was something amazing to see. I really think it's one of those untold business success stories that folks outside of that area are not too familiar with.

Although it was a little awkward growing up in a town with so many senior citizens, it was really nice in some ways. The Villages brought amenities to our small town that we would have never had access to.

However, I would argue The Villages is a lovely place to live and a fantastic place to retire, but it's not very suitable for tech startup. There is no technical talent there. Florida as a whole suffers from a lack of a great tech ecosystem (although there's a few big cos. here and there). Of the working age population, The Villages mostly consists of service and health workers.

That being said, you might be able to find/attract some talent in Orlando or Gainesville. Still, it's nothing like what's in some of the major tech hubs around the U.S.
First critique that immediately comes to mind is how the 1,077 homosexual men and 1,231 heterosexual men were selected. If Republicans have taught us anything, it's that self-reporting is not an accurate measure.

From the paper:
"classified men as homosexual based on both their self-reported sexual identity and sexual feelings"

Furthermore, how does this study explain sexual fluidity? IE: I liked kissing boys when I was 13 but I married a woman at 25?

That is just a further step in the training that could be undertaken. Many of the advances in machine vision come piecemeal for instance. One team advances one idea that does some thing(s) very well, but has some drawback(s) which another team comes up with a solution for at a later date. Maintainability of code could be something the AI is eventually trained to take into account.

Seattle metro area is also like that. Seattle proper, not so much; but if you stand in any of the taller buildings in Redmond (e.g. Microsoft campus buildings) and look around from the top floor, you already mostly just see treetops. I live a bit further away in the foothills of the Cascade mountains - but still part of the same metro area if you go by typical commute - and we're in an outright forest; I have a trail cam in my backyard, and routinely get deer and elk and coyotes, and occasionally bears.

Eh, I don't know if you want to take it quite that far. Your genes might predispose you towards one path or another, but there is still free will involved. Complex sociological events like someone committing a criminal act can't just be reduced to "their genes made them do it." There are other factors involved and they are far more complex than what can be reduced to simple genetics.

I think sexual orientation is probably an inherent trait in most people, but to say something like educational success is just a result of genetics and not other factors like teachers, parents etc is simplistic.

Not to mention that the universe is hardly deterministic. Chaos theory and quantum physics show quite clearly that randomness and unpredictability are fundamental.
It's unlikely that we'll find definitive predictors for this trait in the next decade, it will just be associations that predict an increase or decrease in the odds. The really strong predictive associations are also easier to find.
At the macro level.

My sister and I often travel across Nevada, either Utah -> CA, or the reverse. We half-joke about planting a tree every time we do, and putting up a sign and calling it "The Nevada Reclamation Project."

(This is the part where, hopefully, some ultra-knowledgeable HN reader posts a link to how I should actually be doing it.)
Crazy how fast the markets moved on this news. The price crashed and bounced halfway back before I even found the article, and I was actively searching for the source of the panic.

But, perhaps that's because in the grand scheme, SK is small news and other traders who got there first knew full well that it'd rebound.

Yes, conditional probability of fish feeling pain given the existence of similar brain activity patterns is higher than otherwise.

It doesn't mean that further research can't lower that probability. Like finding more similarities of fish brain processes with brain processes of people who don't feel pain.
Evolutionary-biologist Will Provine's perspective on free will helped very much to inform my own:

https://evolutionnews.org/2015/09/william_provine/

(Edit: this is apparently an intelligent-design advocacy publication, but it is telling how much his opponents respected him. Provine would have been touched. Here's another link, for context: https://quod.lib.umich.edu/p/ptb/6959004.0007.003/--william-...)

He had a lot of thoughtful and kind things to say, and a lot of courage to back it up. Have a gander at some of his work if it piques your interest.

Thanks for your post -- it led me to the news that he had passed away. He had so long surpassed the odds on his specific guaranteed-to-recur cancer that I almost believed him to be invulnerable.

Thank you, Will. We lead best by example; yours was superb.
“Should” in the sense that it’s a bad business model? I agree but CBS isn’t forcing commercials: I pay $10/mo to get no commercials.
But what about other projects? Back in the day there were multiple multi-protocol clients. Pidgin (or rather Gaim back then), Trillian, and others; now there's... maybe Franz, as cosmie mentions? Simply saying "Pidgin kind of died off" doesn't seem like enough of an explanation here; why aren't there more such projects popping up?
I am curious why is that the case? Organizations afraid to upgrade? People in developing countries using outdated OSes? Some other reason?
I'm not sure SK is that small news in crypto? Don't they make up a huge percentage of volume?

In reading your comment I was struck by the dilemma that this reality would bring. Those most opposed to homosexuality are those most opposed to terminating pregnancy (mostly). It would create quite a quandary for folks who are inclined to hold these two beliefs.

None of this is true. We would still imprison those who break the law, despite a deterministic universe, for quarantine, if nothing else.

Before anybody jumps to conclusions, these are not definitive findings. They are extremely important findings for those performing active research on the topic, but are not of general interest to those who are not performing research. The next steps will be to see if this holds in other cohorts, and in other populations, etc.

Physics gave up being "deterministic" (in the sense you used the term in) about 120 years ago.

And mathematics is just a convenient tool with which we describe reality, no one would seriously think today that our math is deeply inscribed in the essence of reality as Galileo thought.

Apart from this, and the fact that the paper shows a very weak statistical significance, I agree fully with your last statement.

I think that as long as species don't become (critically) endangered, many are able to recover. But I think it depends on the species. For some the sustainable minimum is pretty high (for example the passenger pigeon), but for others like wolves, they bounce back pretty quickly even when starting with low numbers. Some fish are the same. A few European forests have bounced back pretty well, after having been cut down over the centuries. Chernobyl is another example of an ecosystem recovering -as well as the mt. St. Helens devastation area.
It's interesting how the timing has an effect on the ethical implications as well. If we had this technology 50 years ago it would be a clear cut case of selecting the straight genes only. This discovery coming now means that the debate could go the other way (no interfering).

Much of the world is also less friendly to homosexuality, to put it lightly. I wonder if they will eliminate it entirely?
