What if you could detect the vocalization somehow instead of relying on a very noisy data source (brain signals), which I see becoming a roadblock...subvocalization would be like being able to chat without typing...you would still be interacting with a UI that will make sure you dont give out your bank card number etc.

Maybe even hold up your phone and it will beam some sort of ultrasound or laser to detect tiny movements in the larynx (I have no idea what I'm talking about) but seems like there's patent in the works by physically attaching sensors...

The vast majority of crypto will ultimately collapse, just like the vast majority of dot coms failed and crashed the entire market.

But... those that survived with solid fundamentals have often gone on to thrive spectacularly -- e.g. Google, Amazon.

I can see something similar ultimately happening in the crypto space.

This explains the basic ideas really well without messing up with implementations and frameworks.
YouTube should be careful in how they approach this.

Treating top talent poorly is a great opportunity for an incumbent.

Logan is generating tremendous value.

As technology becomes more accessible in order for YouTube to maintain it’s dominate position they need to realize that the creators have the power.
It's unclear whether it failed or if Northrop Grumman want us to think it failed; since the second stage actually did one full orbit with nominal performance, they might be trying to slip one past us.

I think we just have an unbridgeable gap of beliefs here: one of you believes that they are the ultimate author of their own words and actions, that their experience of making decisions should be taken as strong evidence that they are in fact making decisions, and that any theory that denied this fact would be in need of revision. The other believes that the scientific enterprise has conclusively disproven the possibility of actual free will, and therefore agency is merely an illusion.

Lately I’ve been siding with the first stance, but I can understand both. It comes down to the strength of your faith that Science understands (for the most part) all of the essential features of reality, and also your trust in your immediate experience.

It’s a tough question.
This may help: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genome-wide_association_study

They found "support" for associations between homosexuality and some specific genetic code positions, but not strong enough evidence to be very sure of anything ("significance").
> I actually feel like the playing field is more uneven between individuals and firms in the regulated stock market vs the btc exchanges.

This is definitely true. I first got into bitcoin as a way to do algotrading on an exchange without having to navigate whatever processes are required in order to be allowed to do so in "real" markets.
because he was dumb enough to post it in the first place? and he didn't even get punished for it until the huge wave of backlash youtube received. hell it took them a week to bother making an announcement, like they were waiting and hoping it would die down instead of having to actually enforce their own rules.

I am absolutely agree with you. Agile is not silver bullet and people just don't get it. Also many times it is executed very wrongly.

Unfortunately the attitude is pervasive and electron is also used for applications more in line with what your mom would be using. I think many would be shocked that a good chunk of their audience has less than 8GB: http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey

It's also a mistake to assume developers have plenty of RAM to waste. A couple of years ago I was using a potato for coding on the way to work that only had 2GB, which made atom a no go.

Also, what happened to the idea of dog-fooding? It's not dog-fooding if your on a machine much faster and with more memory than your users. I think the problem with windows 10 is that all the devs were dog-fooding on top of the line surface pros.
In 1974 the book "The Forever War" was published that had a take on this (granted in a round about way). Roe V Wade (legalizing abortion in the USA) is 1973.

I think that 50 years ago "homosexuality" would not have been "preventable" at least in the US.

However those who were untreatable were not treated kindly - it is still the era of institutionalization. We probably would have had a far more horrific solution to the precived problem than the one you suggest.
> it's a bit ridiculous to crucify this guy or that Swedish guy when they have thousands of worse

Do they have to be bad in comparison? I'm happy both were affected. YT can also take care of worse offenders, not instead.
Seems like the original post might just be fud: http://m.ytn.co.kr/news_view.php?s_mcd=0101&key=201801111615...

Using Google Translate:
"Cheong Wa Dae said the Justice Minister Park Sang-ki's remarks that the virtual currency exchange will be closed is not coordinated by the government.

A Cheong Wa Dae official said in a telephone conversation with YTN that Park's remarks are the position of the Ministry of Justice and that other ministries have various positions.

In addition, the Ministry of Justice approached from the dimension of elimination of speculation, but the Financial Services Commission explained that the Ministry of Science, Technology and MIC is interested in nurturing core technologies of virtual money to prevent similar reception.

He added that virtual currency-related policies will determine the best time for policies to be effective while looking at market conditions. "

It's more that I'm saying humans have agency (in the philosophical meaning of the word). You can't know with 100% certainty what a person will do, even with perfect knowledge of everything about them. You can predict with very high confidence, but never certainty, because people can (and occasionally do) act randomly.

That said, I do believe that people are more or less the sum of their parts and I accept that genetics are especially important. However, there are always people who defy expectations. I just don't except that it is a totally deterministic connection.
non US?
Is Logan generating value for Youtube though?

Guys like Logan and PewDiePie are scaring away advertisers, and the kids who watch them would probably just switch and watch some other YouTuber instead if they were to go away.
I work in the field. Basically, yes. On average it is easier to fly than it is to drive, mostly because there's far fewer things to crash into. But on the other hand, almost any failure can become catastrophic - falling out of the sky will usually have much worse consequences than, say, bumping into the car in front of you.
Here's what I don't get: we glorify the Theory of Evolution and science in general, but at the same time we let politics and activism get involved. So, which of these is true, at the end, when we remove politics from our decision: homosexuality is a) "nature (not a disorder)", b) "nature (disorder)", or c) "nurture"? In addition to removing politics, let's remove emotions before answering. Science doesn't and shouldn't care if its conclusions are easy to digest or what we expect.
Are any of the worse offenders premium advertisers?

> You took something of value that was created or owned by someone else.

A person who creates or owns a piece of information still has it after you "steal" it. That's the difference between a physical and a nonphysical good.

So I think you are saying that only nuclear has the required energy density for acceleration.

Even so, it would be nice to carry much less of the stuff, or a faster decaying material, if regenerative braking provides enough power to almost completely power the magnetosphere upon arrival.

Perhaps the main issue is that even if a PDE solver supports distributed CPU parallelism, the distributed block solvers do not typically allow for decoupling to thousands of independent threads that GPUs are good at. Therefore as the PDE problems and solvers are tightly coupled they do not easily parallelize to GPUs and don't allow for simple recompilation with GPU targets. Most often an existing code would require a complete rewrite/redesign (man years of work for big code bases), at least if there are to be any gains to be had. There are new codes coming, particularly in academia, utilizing GPUs. From what I've seen one can expect around 10x improvement switching to GPUs, so it's good, but not magnitudes better considering the work involved.

Not that I'm aware of [but not certain]. That said, you can see this points to their concern. It's not the content that _really_ offends them. Rather, it's the offense to their pocketbook.
Not quite, at least in my case. Like I said I do think that people mostly are the sum of their parts. It's just that for me, the possibility that anyone can escape their circumstances makes it irrational (as well as immoral) to totally exclude a class of people based on characteristics like genetics. The ultimate debate is on sociological reflexivity, and I don't believe that someone's behavior can ever be totally deterministically predicted, analogous to how certain physical phenomena like radioactive decay are truly random.

Which is not what the other comment was saying I don't think, but the parent comment was.

Edit to add: and even if human behavior was actually a deterministic function of their history it'd surely be a chaotic system. I can't say I really see much difference in that case.
I believe in free will but I think it's possible it doesn't exist at a 100% level in practice as you allude to with genes, environment, history, brain chemistry, etc. If you imagined free will as Madden football awareness ratings, some will be close to 100 but many others will be a lot lower.

So sane people aren't incapable of making the right choice but they are incapable of doing as reliably as others across multiple scenarios over time because there are a lot of other factors at play than being human and having free will.

This kind of has to remain true for Bitcoin to remain secure. If the price were to drop enough that a large fraction of the mining fleet were unprofitable to operate honestly, it could be bought up on the cheap to launch 51% attacks.
Formatting problems are making it start out pretty much unreadable for me on Firefox on Mac [1]. Whatever is laying out the text and sidebar is using a width that is much larger than the width of the white area, so part of the text and all of the sidebar end up out in the black right margin. Since the text is black, this doesn't work well.

Workaround: narrow the width of the white area. As soon as the window shrinks to that width, it changes to a format that appears to be designed for narrow devices.

The narrow layout correctly matches the width of the text display to the width of the white area.

For people that don’t follow the YouTube community, YT has a terrible track record of not treating creators equally, and demonetizing a ton of creators for little to no reason, while some of their other creators, namely Jake and Logan Paul could violate these same guidelines that the rest were slapped over the wrist with.

This has been a long time under way, and while I don’t particularly think they should drop shows like they stupidly did with Pewdiepie, there definitely had to be some backlash for posting a video of a dead guy, when they were striking against videoes talking about that video, for being in violation.

It’s also worth noting, that YouTube were not the ones taking down the video, Logan did this himself after the backlash, and that they waited so long is rather indicative of them trying to see where the wind blows and if they could get away with it.

Honestly, YT has been writing the book on “how to shit on your creators” for 2017 and more, but they might finally be setting back on a better track.
Stealing would mean the loss of property, but there are infinite copies of the digital good. Users for the most part do not read EULA agreements or Terms of Service of a website, the expectation is on the software company's side, it's not a a crime unless there is proof of damage (selling it for profit) from either copying that floppy disk or scraping a public website so hard you interfere with their operations.

So basically if you are poor, you deserve not to gain from the same things rich people can, even when no loss of property or damage occurs by having someone who can't afford it in the first place be your loyal fan. This doesn't apply in cases where there is explicit loss of property and damage that occurs as a result.

The confirmation would be a participant who invited them and tells the other chat participants about it cryptographically (not by user interaction). That everyone rekeys (or whatever happens in the Signal protocol to allow future messages to be read by the new participant), I would see as a flaw of too much trust on the server.

A notification in a busy group gets lost, and in the scenario of an attacker owning the server, they could easily time it to coincide with a busy period.
What's interesting is that I noticed that the firmware notes indicate that CVE-2017-5753 and CVE-2017-5754.

By HN standards I would be considered opposed to homosexuality and I am opposed to abortion.

Eh, if I were Logan I'd (hopefully have enough of said millions I earned being a hooligan) take my money and retire with the ability to do whatever I want. He had a good run, maybe he can now go do something productive with his time and money.
Same here. I personally like the guy for correctly pointing my attention at things that are important, as opposed to vast majority of journalists, who just follow the mainstream subject du jour.
The CVPR 2018 Learned Image Compression Challenge
If you ever look into the reason Pewdiepie got affected, it’s a massively disgusting play of how massive media outlets can twist a narrative by editing videos out of context together and put pressure on a platform to respond to a blatantly (at least it’s a 20 sec google away) false narrative.

Your horse poop example has an equivalent for voice interfaces. A naive implementation might get confused by its own output and interpret it as input. But that problem can be solved by predicting the coupling between the two channels, and subtracting that prediction from the input to get a cleaner signal.

The same procedure would be more difficult to implement for thought-based interfaces, though, because you need to predict the brain's reactions to filter the signal. Maybe you could instead use a non-verbal thought to activate the command interface, so that it doesn't get triggered accidentally.

If this is true then explain how YouTube has any talent left since they have almost all been universally bitching and moaning post-"Adpocalypse" and yet continue to use YouTube as their platform.

If it were so easy to move off of YouTube, these many "creators" would have already banded together to create something new, backed by VC funding based on their "star-power". But this hasn't happened.

Making a YouTube clone is easy, making a YouTube clone that isn't a sinkhole that just eats millions and millions of dollars is hard.
Talent is cheap. Showing dead bodies to millions of 14 year olds is a liability.
>We had Net Neutrality under Obama. Are you claiming that if Clinton won, she wouldn't continue Obama's policy?

We had and lost net neutrality under the Obama administration, as the FCC's authority for control comes from some vague sentences in ancient laws. The courts ruled that their loophole was not valid, so the FCC moved on to trying a different vague line.

The authority still isn't on stable ground. The courts could easily rule the FCC's loophole invalid, ending net neutrality. This is also why the current destruction is possible. As the FCC enforcement only comes from their specific interpretation, the new administration was able to sweep it away.

We have been aware of this problem for over a decade now. That is why Obama cosponsored a hopeless bill on the matter as a senator. Their failure to pass a law on it, followed by their failure to even say they would try to pass one shows how important they consider the issue.

>To be honest, I think you are simply factually incorrect. The official platform of the Democratic party is that they support Net Neutrality, and it first existed as official policy under Obama. If Democrats regain control of the government, I would fully expect them to reinstitute it.

They release an official platform before the election, and that was not their position. They will "... oppose any efforts by the Republicans to roll back the historic net neutrality rules that the Federal Communications Commission enacted last year." Page thirteen.

That’s not really important. What is important is that they receive data about the suicidality, because it is inevitable that a large percentage of people like me who are long term suicidal will not have documented it with a medical professional. And, due to privacy laws, it’s difficult to say whether that data if it did exist with a medical professional would make it to 23 and me for them to be able to make such a correlation. I would presume that they may be able to and for or data mine from articles if I were to commit suicide for instance bud

I don't know who Logan is but read what he did. It was disgusting. But the market should have naturally handled it. The problem is had YouTube done nothing it likely would not have affected his views. That should tell you something about how loud and powerful we have let the offended become.
