A robot doesn't have to do something better than a human to succeed; it just has to do it well enough for us to accept the trade-off.

A good example is robot vacuum cleaners: I have had one for a few years now and it's easily the best purchase I've ever made: it doesn't vacuum as well as we do but it does it everyday which is something I'm absolutely unwilling to do. Having it in my home greatly reduced the amount of time we had to dedicate to cleaning the floor and dusting non-floor surfaces (it turns out that daily vacuuming the floor has a huge impact in the amount of dust collected everywhere else).

It’s less a way to come off as “sciencey” and more a way to get your ideas accepted at this point. The people I know in the list of thanks would wholeheartedly agree with your the regression is forced but it gets neo-classic economists (when I was studying the vast majority and presumably still holding the reins of key publications) to not dismiss you as “psychologists”.

I’m not sure if the right approach is to use basic maths to illustrate the idea makes sense but doesn’t need that formalism to make it acceptable or to refuse the charade. I genuinely think the smarter people I know are also uncertain about it.

> you'll have random parts of your kitchen inaccessible at random points of time.

Rethink how we store things. Rather then all plates in one place, all bowls in another ect. you mix everything up so each cabinet has the same variety of objects in it.

I know this only deals with one of your extremely valid points. I know some of the sorting/organizing people on here (the ones who label their label guns) would freak.
- 8K TV with HDR going to 10000 nits. Where bright objects actually do look bright.

- The new LG Gram ultralight laptop.

- On-screen fingerprint scanner.

- Intel's voxel tech, but that's a very expensive system.

- Pretty much all of NVidia's machine learning tech.

- The dual-perspective projector system, very clever.
This should give everyone serious pause. If this false alarm had been sent by NORAD (it has happened before, read Command and Control), it's very likely that several million people in both Koreas, Japan and possibly the US would be char-grilled nuclear krispies right now. There needs to be a serious re-evaluation of our alert systems and launch on warning posture.

Is there any chance of providing the code for your access_time_to() function? I'm quite curious and I looked at your code that checks for the issue but couldn't make sense of it. Can you provide a simple solution for that? Thanks in advance.
I dispute that encouraging people to eat less meat will make enough of a difference in this case to, well, make a difference. It's not wrong, it's just too much self-congratulatory blame-shifting with a moral message as the end itself.

These kinds of problems need results, not feel-good activist sentiment woo. People are dying.
It may be doable, it might also run into issues as your're advertising and charging for a product you're not licensed to sell.

I mean this is, in part, a business registration fee we're talking about... are there other regulated businesses where you can charge first and get licensed second? Trash disposal, flammable material production, health care services? Liquor wholesaling? Gynecological services? Radioactive material transport? ...

From a regulatory standpoint the entire point of licensing actors is to deny poorly behaving actors licenses. If AriBnB were facilitating the sale in expectation of a license being granted then AirBnB is trying to act as a regulatory body, a no-no, and at the very least liable for any problems with the transaction or host, a no-no for AirBnB.

That is very uncharitable reading and besides, the article explains very clearly why that contributed to him not wanting to do cron anymore.

> It's not the money. It's the fact that you will be on record and people can check up on you.

And beyond the compliance checking here and now, it also means you're subject to and pre-registered for any and all forthcoming regulation.

I think, though, it's only fair. If private rentals are gonna compete with hotels then private rentals need to start addressing some of the issues we have regulated mostly out of existence with how hotels used to be. Like having a registered business, or perhaps the right kind of insurance, or the right kinds of fire safety systems that are monitored on a schedule. Business ain't easy, and shortcuts are how we get unthinkable tragedies. It's only fair the economics of AirBnB hosts reflect that.

Public domain is special since its a natural aspect of copyright law rather than a license, where a person don't need permission once a work is in public domain.

CC0 tries to mimic this but here the tricky part of permissions comes into place. If I give you permission to do anything and you remove the permission text and claim the work as your own, do you still have permission? It a rather popular discussion in regard to cc0, and the consensus where I have seen it seems to be that you need the license in order to have permission. I have also seen lawyers arguing that copyright law itself has limits on what rights a license can give, such as attribution.
Yes! But let's give the human coin a better name; how about calling it the Dollar? And while we're at it, we need to figure out a way how to make the exchange rate fluctuate less, so let's back it with some real world materials that we know are pretty stable in perceived value; how about gold? Oh, and for some tasks and jobs I'm pretty sure we will need bigger groups of people working together. These are more complex tasks/projects that sometimes require hundreds, maybe even thousands of people working in cohort. How about we call those groups startups, and corporations? But who will decide to start these groups when it is deemed necessary? Let's decide anyone can; and we name them founders. And because they will start these groups, they probably get to decide how many of the dollars which contributor in the group gets from customers right? Because who decides how these dollars get distributed among the group? Someone needs to do that right, at least until we get a sufficiently capable AI to determine qualitative value to the end user. And let's call these rights of distribution of these dollars stocks, like a kind of certificate to the future profits.

I find a type a lot lot softer now than I used to (which, since I don’t bottom out the keys, means less strain because I only barely touch keys). I use a Kinesis Advantage 2 (with a 3 button foot pedal and Cherry MX Brown keys) and its absolutely the most comfort I’ve ever had while typing. I type faster and more accurately than I did before and I feel a lot less hand/arm strain even after long periods of intense typing. I honestly wish I’d bought one ten years sooner (ok, an Advantage, since the Advantage 2 didn’t exist then), when I first considered it, but didn’t because the price seemed too high. I type that much, though, that the cost is nothing over its lifetime, especially if it helps me reduce or avoid RSI.

I’m always baffled when I see pepole absolutely hammer their keyboards. My hands hurt just thinking about it. Or just using bad keyboards at all. Our careers and hobbies rely on our hands so much that its a no brainer to optimise for their wellbeing, even if the keyboard is a tad expensive.

But I’m obviously a fanboy now, and I’m sure not everybody loves them as much as I do...

Yes, and it's not clear it attenuates total transmitted power significantly on other wavelengths. Just putting in a diffuser you expect more light scattering out of the rays going towards (what I presume is a) optical fibre, but most of that power just goes somewhere else, it is not absorbed.
I don't know if there's an equivalent in the US, but here in the UK we have a TV programme "Dragons' Den" where people pitch their business ideas - which are usually invention-based - to a panel of potential investors.

Easily the most intriguing aspect of the show is discovering the often inordinate amount of time, energy and money that the candidates have invested in what, to the disinterested outsider, appears to be a completely mad and unworkable idea: the potentially destructive power of human determination.

I don't think that she would refer to herself as an engineer, but more as an enthusiast. Nothing to do with sexism but more that she's not that interested in working with engineery stuff like reliability, fault tolerances etc.

She didn't graduate from KTH since "Teknisk Fysik" wasn't her thing and to be honest I don't think that it would've made any difference. I would say that she's doing quite ok. :)

This one, sure. But Germany's had quite a lot of questionable laws to do with free speech for a long time.

e.g. If you're familiar with Steam, you might have noticed that a lot of games that are generally available in EU are not specifically in Germany.
Everytime I see the argument that smart contract allow for no third party payment I always think that people are diminishing the role of third party.

In most transaction, the third party also act as an insurance, a safety. If something goes wrong, the third party is supposed to be here to make sure everybody got their fair share without the need to take legal action, which can be difficult to near impossible sometime.

If I get scamed, does the smart contract allow a chargeback ? Who is going to make sure I was scam and not abusing ? etc.
At this point, we may as well put one of those stickers on the entire State of California.

I don't think that is necessarily true, while you might be right in the sense that more complex behaivour has the chance of introducing more bugs into the code.

The tools, frameworks and contracts keep getting better and more mature, so hopefully we won't see occurrences like the ones of TheDAO.

> But this requires abandoning the core conceit of an ICO (that there are valuable "coins" involved) as well as a reasonably important feature of DAOs (that they can be meaningfully adapted towards specific use-cases.)

I honestly don't agree with this, there is no reason for coins not to retain its value.

Where was this in Latin America? In Argentina, most cattle have gone from eating grass on the open pampas to being fed grain in cramped feedlots just like in the US, because it is more lucrative to use the land to grow soya. In Chile, a hell of a lot of food in the supermarkets is imported from the USA, namely from that country’s lower-end market (Walmart etc.). I can’t speak for other countries, but definitely some of Latin America countries are already basing their diet on relatively unnatural food.

Till today I haven't asked anyone to write actual code on whiteboard. Recently I had a chance to interview a Stanford grad who had previously worked on embedded sys in some start-up. I asked him to draw system level architecture of his product in OSI layer format like where HAL/ firmware, RTOS, insys mem, db, application, UI are placed and how they are communicating with each other ...and this guy was staring at me like I am asking him to jump down from 10th floor. Then I thought did I do something wrong... I mean if you have really worked on/experienced something then you should know that thing thoroughly and then you don't need any special prep for interviews
The industry is different, that is another issue.
Programmers do not deal with just the small variations of the mostly the same code base (human body) which broke down (got ill) for some reason, but most bugs have pretty well documented symptoms and prescriptions how to fix them.

Dragons Den exists in the US (and Canada) too, I believe. There’s also Shark Tank. I quite enjoy watching Dragons Den (and Shark Tank on youtube).

I agree with your second paragraph completely. I also totally undrestand it, having cofounded startups myself in the past. You get tunnel vision.
Vitalik initial concept is promising but I encourage everyone to read the rest of the thread there are some very good alternatives and additional ideas.

Overall, if the main goal is to improve the ICO mechanism to reduce fraud and increase accountability from the development team, that in my book is worthy of consideration and discussion.

> it gets neo-classic economists [...] to not dismiss you as “psychologists”

Lol, that's funny - I'm pretty much at the point of dismissing "fundamentalist neoclassic economists"... As much as they try to deny it, economic studies are just social studies with a couple of simplistic graphs on top to look "mathy".
If your kids are rubbish at washing up, which miraculously results in their being exempted from this thankless task, you may be witnessing what Scott Adams identifies as "strategic incompetence" :-) I suspect my wife of the same tactic, as the thought of her greasy half-washed efforts on the draining board always gets me to volunteer to do the dishes every night.

The problem is that there are more jobs than housing. Existing homeowners oppose residential construction because it lowers their property value. They don't oppose commercial construction because it increases their property value.

If these people truly valued the "character" of their city then they wouldn't try to make it more attractive to other people. They want those new people and they want them to buy their overpriced property.

This seems to imply that everyone else's stake in the network would become worthless too, though. What stops a particularly motivated billionaire from buying 51% compute for a month or so to destroy a cryptocurrency for good? They waste that money but any competitor of theirs (in business, etc) who had wealth tied up in that currency can kiss it goodbye. If a business was built around that currency it's dead now.

The 'diminish trust in the network' threat really only discourages an existing good actor (invested in the network) from turning into a bad actor.

If I've been mining a cryptocurrency for years and I decide I want to move on to mining something else, what stops me from using 51% to destroy the currency before I move on to mining something else? If I moved my currency holdings out (or have been liquidating them regularly, as any sensible miner might), what's to lose?

No, you used the correct description first "professional (rock) musicians". Obviously being a profession user or a certain tool isn't simply equivalent to being the engineer of that tool: accountants are not software developers merely by virtue of using excel, drummers don't know how to build drums just from banging on them, and Simone isn't a professional robot engineer just because she has a Kuka arm in her house.
Well, I guess you have to start somewhere. I'm sure his goal is to make a machine where you can just dump clothes in and they come out folded. But the technology isn't there yet and it takes time to develop. He's probably hoping he can sell a few of these useless machines and keep funding his R&D until he can build a fully functional version.

Unicode, UTF8 and Character Sets: The Ultimate Guide (2012)
Where I grew up (Crete), I kept on listening to stories by elders about how their grandfathers and family members left the place due to vendettas between families and all went over to Sicily.

Judging by the mentality of people around me, even those days I'd say they pay too much into respect, and disrespecting someones honour by any means could lead into the start of a vendetta. Bear in mind we are now in 2018 and those things are still happening.

My sort explanation is that obviously people that resided in Sicily, Southern Crete etc were not afraid to use force to defend their honour, and make a living. Later on people that left Sicily and went to e.g New York were a bit toughed up by living in a place that vendetta was a very common phenomenon and while they saw an opportunity where they could force fear into the other racial groups in new york, they took it.

I think there are more than a few years. Wilhelm's translation is probably out of copyright by now, but Bayne's English translation of that is only about 60 years old (too busy to look up the actual dates). I keep wondering if some kind soul who speaks German and English would translate Wilhelm's work, but so far I haven't seen anything. If anyone wants a non-technical side project...
There is clearly a big difference between the robots ABB or KUKA make, and the contraptions Simone makes: to imply she builds the former by using the same name as the well established name of the actual makers of industrial robots is just misleading.

The robots Simone makes can fairly be described as "hobbyist robots", although her preferred term so far is "shitty robots".
