MBMBAM does sponsor ads (read by the hosts), then the shoutout section which I hate, and then usually two ads by other podcasts in the network. Once the sponsor ads start, I can then simply skip ahead until I hear an unfamiliar voice, then more carefully jump forward until I get back to the show. This is pretty much essential for me, because both the shoutouts (jumbotrons) and the plugs for other podcasts are written with the "OMG QUIRKY!" knob turned up to 11 and I just can't handle it.

Edit: The Greatest Generation (Star Trek podcast) is on the same network and has a somewhat similar format, except they don't do the ads until they're almost done. They talk about the episode, then do sponsor ads and shoutouts, then they do one of two options: "Drunk Shimoda" segment followed by ads for other podcasts, or vice versa. I assume this is to prevent over-zealous ad skipping but really it doesn't take much effort.
So, is this better than using lasers? IIRC, the lasers also did something with stem cells to get them to heal/regenerate teeth.
Batteries have seen incremental yearly improvements of a few percent in capacity, recharge time, cost, weight, and number of recharges, which looks impressive over several years. GP is talking about the articles that come out every month or two saying "new battery with nano-particles/graphene/etc has 20x the capacity of LiOn [in the lab]."
I believe toggl is confusing. It allows you to add time in a very unstructured way. Hyperlogs and much simpler and streamlined app. Its intuitive enough. You get it, get your work done and get out. No guess work, no waste of time figuring thing out.

That all said, you should give it a shot. Sign up and try it, it is free for one user.
Oil could have enabled that kind of coordiation too, how'd that work out? For a mass movement, you need lots of leaders (of people) to band together and agree to steer the ship in a specific direction.

To be fair, false teeth and dying in your 60s are normal in many parts of the U.S.

Where I grew up people still put Dr. Pepper in baby bottles, and become grandfathers at 35. That sh*t doesn't just happen on TV.

Though, now that I think about it, it's only in the past 30 or so years that soft drinks have become so cheap that people drink it almost exclusively. When I was a little kid poor families could only afford to drink watered-downed Kool-Aid, if that. So the soft drinks->bad teeth thing is probably a recent development, which fits with the increase in diabetes, too. Not just soft drinks, but the affordability of high caloric foods, generally. But false teeth were still far more common than even today.

100% agree. There's a lot of regulatory hurdles in that field but, much like what SpaceX did, if you can find ways to disrupt it, the disruption is 10-100x better than current state.
It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. If bans start coming in for activity outside the game, it'll be a complete shit show (and rightly so), but if the info they collect is just another data point to strengthen/weaken the case of reports it might improve the system as a whole... time will tell I suppose.

What is the value of the bank wire system?

Bank wires are currently Bitcoin's closest competitor, and in aspects each has advantages. The bank wire system has had a lot of technical debt built up over the years, and has left a market opportunity by being risk averse and slow to innovate.

People used to speak about paying for a cup of coffee with Bitcoin, but that isn't really a great use case for how it is designed. It has an inherent latency of about an hour and fees don't scale with price. If you want to transfer a lot of money in less than a day to someone who may not trust you, it's great. If you don't mind it being slower, have trust, or need to transfer small amounts, other systems are likely better for your use case.
Hi HN! I’m one of the researchers who worked on this. Both Nicholas Carlini (a co-author on this paper) and I have done a bunch of work on machine learning security (specifically, adversarial examples), and we’re happy to answer any questions here!

Adversarial examples can be thought of as “fooling examples” for machine learning models. For example, for image classifiers, for a given image x classified correctly, an adversarial example is an image x* such that x* is visually similar to an image x, but x* is classified incorrectly.

We evaluated the security of 8 defenses accepted at ICLR 2018 (one of the top machine learning conferences) and we find that 7 are broken. Our attacks succeeded when others failed because we show how to work around defenses that cause gradient-descent-based attack algorithms to fail.
If you're convinced that you should be making everyone work instead of subsidizing their existence (which is much cheaper), you need to bring jobs outside of the city. Telling everyone to just live in San Francisco doesn't scale.

According to the article, there already is free healthcare provided by the government. The problem is that model, predictably, sucks.

“Although government-run hospitals are theoretically free for everyone, the waits are long, quality is poor and corruption is endemic.”

So the left doesn’t want private healthcare providers to show them up.
Yep, I learned that way too. I didn't know that method went by a name.

> people ask me to show them how to solve it but are mostly disappointed and get bored when I show them the algorithms.

I like that reaction because it helps you sort out people with some level of grit for solving things (i.e. those who would actually attempt to learn it) from those who have none.

The Machine Learning Opportunity in Manufacturing, Logistics
>Where has all the world's money gone, explain it like I'm 5. It starts from a convenient barter system. As I was reflecting on the various ICOs I realised that the technology and the blockchain makes the old barter system very efficient.

There was no "old barter system" the way modern people think of it. The idea that pre-commercial economies operated on a "barter system" in the sense that people are directly exchanging goods of similar value is just a simplifying metaphor early economists made to explain how commercial transactions work.

Pre-commercial economies operate more like gift economies. It's not so much about trading objects based on their valuation, it's about doing favors for people with the expectation that they will do favors back for you. It takes strong bonds of social trust and cohesion for this to work. Everyone has to have a sense of obligation to pitch in for the community.

The bartering only comes in as a form of collateral when dealing with outsiders (people you don't trust as much). This is why the earliest form of exchanges in this way were tied to marriages (e.g. dowries, bride prices) or interactions with other political groups (e.g. treaties, armistice).

Barter doesn't actually work, it's basically just a format for giving collateral to make sure people don't welch on deals. Normal currency already solves that problem way better than trust chains based exchange does because the value is obvious and exchanged up front without having to go through any clearing-house to be validated.
I’m a lawyer and these tactics (for better or worse) are par for the course. Say the claimant in a civil suit makes a claim that due to their injury they can’t engage in normal daily activities leading to a loss in quality of life, example, I can’t lift up and hold my kids or I can’t take out the garbage. Better believe pictures of those things will pop up at a deposition, if the claimant has in fact done any of the above.

I worked a worker’s compensation claim once, where a contractor claimed that due to a back injury he had basically become immobilized, sure enough he had Facebook posts that included zip lining - and was able to subpoena the waiver he signed declaring he had no injuries - and other posts like “drinking getting fucked up and dancing all night at the club” with pictures. So yeah basically people are doing the job for the insurance companies and lawyers that they used to have to hire and pay PIs to do.
At least memory-intensive applications should be tested under such conditions.

When I was at college more than a decade back, I tested many applications under such conditions and my own application too. Most Microsoft's applications survived even with less than 100 bytes of RAM remaining and a disabled virtual memory! This included Microsoft Office, Visual Studio, et al. My own application survived too with a fix or two. Windows Explorer, funnily, crashed. Many non-Microsoft applications crashed.

More recently (2012), I tested two commercial Java profiler applications, JProfiler and Yourkit. They both survived without issues under such conditions.

Dining out is the usual suspect, and one I have run into many times as a middle class guy that hangs out with the rich and very rich occassionally:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmGemNT7urY

The only thing this scene from the wire fails to capture is that once you learn the mannerisms, how you should look, how you should act to not feel out of place - you then need to learn how and what to speak about. It's hard to hold a conversation about Mr. Smith's recent trip to the maldives, his new non-profit business venture, and roger federer's latest australian open win if you're working a 9-5 and vacationing once a year in california. So in many cases you can look and act the part, but really you can't speak the part.

Then at the end of the meal, you're relying on them to pay for that $150 bottle of wine they ordered.

The walled garden has dark corners.

Subjectively: There is nothing I can do on the iPhoneX that I would want to do on my iPhone6s. Basically, its just .. too fat .. too extreme .. and the wall of the garden far, far too well laid out for me to want to upgrade.

I'll hold out and switch to something .. anything .. in desperation .. that will return the feeling of free reign over my personal data, like the PC did .. but I really wonder how that'll happen.

In the meantime, sure is weird to see things go the way they have gone, in the last 15 years. I mean, sheesh.
