The first part of your reply is irrelevant smearing, isn't it? You don't dispute the accuracy or relevance of the quotes, but instead bring up websites on which they can be found in search engines, and then make vague handwaves about "motives" - as if this has any impact at all.

To be clear, although it's also irrelevant, my motive in this thread has been to explain the long since flagged and dead comment about why George Soros specifically is not the best person to call for strict regulation of tech firms.

I don't know what quote they got, or in what context they used it

Why don't you open the link I helpfully provided and find out then?

The relevant part of the quote is the part you removed: "We are committed to making sure that anyone who chooses to migrate—regardless of motivation—is able to do so safely and with dignity". This quote demonstrates my point that Soros supports the latter, and so your point that it's not equivalent to something else doesn't matter.

Development time tracking for Git repositories
I use Google Photos to back up all my cell phone camera photos.

It automatically generates galleries from trips I make, and selects the "best" photos.

I still review them, and decide if I agree on Google's ML agorithm's opinion of best (from a series of snaps of someone's face or a landscape)

While it's really good at removing blurry shots, aligning crooked ones, and discarding those where someone half-blinked, it cannot AT ALL tell the difference between a weird interesting endearing facial expression and a weird strange off-putting facial expression.

And that's because the real data is not in the image. It's in the personality that I know of the person. A picture of a person smiling who I know is dour or unhappy is the one I want. Meanwhile for a person who's incredibly photogenic and always has a flawless smile - but is usually consistent and bordering on insincere - I'd prefer a candid shot where they're not looking their best - but the real personality that maybe only I know of them is shining through.

These are not objective truths. My favourite photos of my wife are ones she hates. And it's not even about having a different SELF-image from those that others have of you - we also like different photos of our dog, and of our mutual friends.

No ML model will be able to pick that, and unfortunately this isn't just a case of "let's give them more data and wait".

If we trust the algorithms to make these decisions for us, we will just encourage the rounding of all the uneven edges of our world until we settle on a bland average existence where everyone has the same idea of what a "cute baby" looks like.

This is already happening with information bubbles on Facebook and Twitter.

I have to wonder though: if >50% of people currently employed lose their jobs to automation... who will be there to fuel the consumerist economy? Who will buy ads on Facebook and Google that peddle widgets and services for which there no more consumers with disposable income to market them to?
I would not be surprised if, despite publicly harping about solid OPSEC, many users get tired and negligent.
I agree with all except that it needs to be regulated. Nor Google nor Facebook (nor any social media) are pushed down our throats, and it is the choice of the people to use it. I don't understand how consumers can build judgement and learn to be responsible for themselves if we always shelter them from poor consumption choices through regulation laws. Furthermore if they're unaware enough to need regulation laws, it means they're unaware enough to be abused by regulation laws, so it's definitely not an actual solution.

That's actually a really complicated question because 'robot' is a poorly defined category. You run into similar problems trying to figure out a definition for "what is life?" that includes everything that we think is obviously alive (like worker bees and frozen-but-revivable organisms) but doesn't also include things that we think are obviously not alive (like fire).

You hit the nail on the head with this one Dave. I'm dealing with this issue with my new team.

My solution was to only bring my Ipad to meetings with me. It does a great job of keeping me constrained to Evernote or jira. Using an Apple Pencil helps me to keep my eyes on the presenter and not drift into multi-task land. If I set a good example, hopefully my team will drop some of the bad habits.

> the algorithms are well known and only need to be implemented once

To an extent. The basic algorithms are well known (simplex, interior point), but there is a lot of scope for improvements - this is why the big commercial solvers can be orders of magnitude faster than the best open source ones. Still, even if the algorithms are not well-known, they do only need to be implemented once.

For integer programming, though, there can definitely be value in problem-specific heuristics for branch selection and rounding.

As a data scientist, I have the lingering fears of job automation. At least for applications-oriented work (as opposed to research). There's no reason Auto ML software couldn't take away most of the difficulty of model building in simpler scenarios. I mean, the software is already here. Just not widely used. And as computing power increases, no reason they can't tackle more of the complex problems where you might need to call in an expert. Feature generation based on the context of the industry, etc. Translation of findings into business-understandable language. One new algorithm or software package can automate much of what a data scientist might do. I mean, the unofficial slogan for some of the data science positions I've found were to "automate myself out of a job."

That's why, although I LOVE what I do, part of me thinks I need to make sure I'm in a position to move into management at some point - because I see a lot less ability for automation in areas that require "people" skills over the next few decades. On the other hand, I LOVE what I do. What's that French phrase? C'est la vie? I think it translates into "you're screwed, one way or another."

>> I don't know what quote they got, or in what context they used it

> Why don't you open the link I helpfully provided and find out then?

My point was that they're a terrible source for finding out what context they used when framing their own article, given their obvious slant.

> The first part of your reply is irrelevant smearing, isn't it? You don't dispute the accuracy or relevance of the quotes, but instead bring up websites on which they can be found in search engines, and then make vague handwaves about "motives" - as if this has any impact at all.

Another commenter had already specifically dissected that quote, so it felt redundant. And looking at the sites flagging for a problem with that quote WAS extremely telling.

I agree that it could be argued, but it seems like a pretty big stretch. I mean, if it's advertised as a multiplayer racing game and there's no multiplayer or racing that's one thing. But if it's advertised as a PC adventure game and it turns out to be a PC adventure game whose story goes differently than you hoped, it sounds very much like something the ACCC standards don't cover.
Strange. In my experience, when someone comes up to me, they are either trying to hand me a leaflet or they are some old dude who's amazed that he gets to see a real foreigner in his lifetime and wants to make some small talk. The one time someone spoke English, it was a student who wanted to practice.

If Snowden is telling us that our internet habits are snooped on at a national level, then what makes you believe they didn't already use local connectivity to perform such a thing without the local government's authority? Who says they didn't use private connections without authority? I don't think the government had a monopoly on connectivity then. Why would it be different now no matter who controls what?

There is a small city in my area that provides internet service to the citizens living in city limits. At one time, it was twice as cheap as Time Warner (Spectrum) and had faster speeds with more reliable connections. I am not against government provided internet service so long as it operates like this.

The entire situation comes down to how one uses the power they have been given. It is evident that an ex-Verizon lawyer should not be the poster child of the future for obvious reasons. I don't know who he thinks he is fooling with his statements either.
You're "less reliant", but chances are, you'll end up having worse reliability.
Oh, c'mon, don't spill brazillian polarized political BS debate into HN.

As a disclaimer: I believe the trial of Lula was fair.

The article whole point is that Brazilian democracy is in danger because of Lula's trial for corruption.

The second instance appeal ruled against Lula and actually increased his sentence. All 3 judges voted to confirm the first verdict (including 2 that were appointed by former president Dilma, Lula's protegee).

I believe the Brazilian democracy and its institutions are stronger because of this trial, not weaker. I hope we continue this very recent trend of putting corrupt politicians in jail.

I program in a lot of languages and feel like I am a master of none. At work I do R about everyday and I was feeling like I needed to get my stuff together. I ended up learning Racket and I wish I did it 10 years ago.

"How to Design Programs" http://www.htdp.org/ is the best book I have ever read. It is very dense and I had to restart it a few times to get through it. This is not a knock on the material or process it is just how I process things. When I get stuck I go back and review everything again from page 1. I also went through "Realm of Racket" https://www.realmofracket.com/ with my 11 year old daughter and that was also great. My programs never repeats itself and I can program a function quicker and more concise than ever before.

Isn't that only the case for gmail (and maybe some others)?

As an aside I'm surprised someone setting up their own dns-server would still be using gmail. I've found running my own email-server to be very useful and satisfying. (0-configuration throwaway addresses, automatic sorting with sieve, personal and professional mail on the same account, etc. etc.)

Not sure what the better argument is- just saying that first- but "specialist" mentioned "higher moral authorities" than the bill of rights. Since the US uses these higher authorities to sell patriotism, I get why someone might think it's a good idea to fold cryptography in with that. Yet I can't imagine how that would be done. In any case, it is important how this battle is won - its justification will shape our future battles. If someone can be called anti-American or "not a patriot" if they bring up legit critique (Chomsky) or if they are an atheist or a Muslim---then it's a sign that observing basic human rights is exactly NOT what a government (the US especially) wants to do, no matter HOW they "sell" authoritarianism to the public. So far, in order to be elected president here, it seems one needs to at least pretend to be Christian. We need to move to arguments that are implicit in our engagement with new ideas. It seems that the basic right to cryptography must be philosophically designed into systems as a feature of their existance, unapologetically. For example:blockchain. Let the idea of cryptography be nationless-- a feauture of globalization. In that way, you tie it to something those in power hold dear and it becomes difficult for them to hold one view without admitting the other. That said, we have been experiencing a troubling complete breakdownn of all reason and consistency in these philosophies and govt. policies. example: the increase in arrests of black people in posession of small amounts of marijuana especially in cities where posession has been decriminalized.

The problem is not that your job will be automated, the problem is that it will happen too fast and people will not have time to adapt. The disrupt mantra for startups can generate lots of money with the side effect that it hurts people's lives. If the changes comes slowly, across one generation, then people do not suffer because they already retired.
I'm sure a lot of people did. Getting caught using a fake address, stealing mail etc. is clear evidence of a crime.

Not everyone can afford to have someone else clean for them. In fact, those who can afford it are a small and privileged group even in cities like NY and SF where they're relatively highly concentrated. The article above is specifically about average families in parts of the country where jobs paying that kind of money are extremely rare.

And if you don't clean a certain minimum amount, yeah, your home gets unhygienically disgusting. As proven by the 6 months of beard shavings and toothpaste spittle crusted up on my ex's sink. (And that was the least disgusting surface in the bathroom.)

The same goes for things like washing bedsheets and towels now and then; leaving clothing all over the floor where you trip on them in the dark; letting dishes pile up in the sink until you get pests; and more.

Technology has decreased the amount of time required to keep a home to a minimum standard of cleanliness - but it still requires a certain amount of attention and effort.

Then if you have a partner who's either unwilling to clean or whose standards for "gross" are far lower than yours, you're stuck cleaning for two or living in conditions you find unlivable.

And that's without even beginning to get into the complications of childcare for those couples who want children for reasons other than social pressures and norms.
I've been down this route but ultimately found much more stability running BIND as a hidden master and pushing NOTIFYs to secondary nameservers (I use DNSMadeEasy) whenever the zone is modified. Supports DNSSEC as well.

Well, you could also hire laundry services, which used to be done by hand either individually in water courses or in places known as washhouses or lavoirs... or in laundry boats (french bateaux-lavoirs). My grandfather, who was not wealthy, told me that he used the services of a professional laundress in his 20s.

But then once you are done with laundry you've got cooking, washing, ironing, etc...

Ironing became optional for some people as fibers started receiving a special treatment to reduce wrinkling. Before that, clothes would wrinkle beyond what most people today would be comfortable wearing. Before electricity, irons were powered by coal and of course had no thermostat.

Before refrigeration and other modern methods for preserving food, you also had to buy fresh food constantly, or preserve food in archaic ways like salting.

Then, before plumbing and sewers, rather than getting water from a faucet you had to go get water from a well.
I´m brazilian, I'm not from left or right! I voted in Lula twice! I voted Dilma for her first term, not for the second. And although I respect the author, I strongly disagree on this. Lula will be inellegible because of his acts, he lead a criminal organization and took advantages on this. Of course, the brazilian politician system is corrupted, It is not new, but I hope now Brazil is changing! We can not accept this anymore, even if will affect Lula or anyone else!
