It comes from both top and bottom. At the top managers want to justify their salaries to their managers so they always redesign / rebuild / reorganize, even if things work pretty well as is. At the bottom new programmers fresh out of college want to assert themselves. The best way to do is to propose that everything existing is old and shit and needs to be rewritten. So they volunteer of course.

I can only talk about Canada, but in both Ontario and western Canada they scan your ticket and an audible sound is made if you are a winner (or loser). For both winners and non-winners, a receipt prints out and the clerk gives you both.

Additionally there is a self scan kiosk where you can check your ticket. And there's always publicly listed winning numbers.

How so? This seems like a pretty good defense of it:

> Over the last week, Kotaku interviewed 12 of Atari’s earliest female employees, in the hopes of hearing their stories—good or bad—about working at Atari in the ‘70s and early ‘80s. The culture they told us about was certainly, as Playboy described it, one of “sex, drugs, and video games,” but one in which all 12 employees say they freely participated, if they participated at all. Many interviewees said it was the best job they ever had, adding that news of Bushnell’s rescinded award struck them as shocking or unfair.

> “It’s drive-by assassination,” said Loni Reeder, who worked at Atari for two years and, later, co-founded a company with Bushnell. “I think there’s an element of telephone being played. Every day was not a wet t-shirt contest.” Reeder added, “There’s a collective anger amongst us toward the individuals who made this a big deal.”

There's this idea now that workplaces are oppressive unless they are totally asexual, but stories like these prove that false. It's a cultural idea that's embedded in our current time, and it isn't necessarily even progress unless you assume the now is best and the past is worse.

The problem is not just not having access to banks. Try to send money across the world living in the third-world. There's stuff like Western Union in may places, but depending on where you are there are extreme levels of red tape and very low limits on how much and how often you can do it. Also whenever there is unusual volatility in the market, that kind of service will stop servicing. And good luck setting up a US (or EU) bank account remotely from 80% of the world that's not developed.

Not really, because the signature is tied to a specific device and a specific upgrade. It can never be used again unless Apple signs it again.

Apple had some arguments about precedent and the like, and that’s fine, but from a technical perspective they could have easily done it and it wouldn’t have weakened anything else, unless they decided to sign the software again later.
As somebody who lived as a professional gambler for a while, I would agree that your assessment of value of most lotteries is correct: they are poor value and should be avoided.

However, we're not expecting people to deploy Kelly criterion here, nobody is playing lotto for EV and a need to maximise returns on known value parameters.

But I play lotto. And I know all this more than most. I have literally paid my rent with money earned from understanding this and exploiting it. WTF am I doing playing poor odd games?

When you're playing $5k to win $5k on something where you think true odds are more like 55% in your favour, you are doing so most likely knowing $5k is 10% of your total bank (based on Kelly), and that you're 45% likely to lose. You're going to hopefully play over and over again and in the long run make money.

When you're playing $2 to win $100m, do you actually care?

The $2 is likely such a tiny part of your bank that you could literally lose it down the back of the sofa and not care, but the payout is so large and life-changing, that not having access to that very remote possibility - given the cost is so tiny and marginal and unnoticeable - is short-sighted.

Yes, the maths don't work from a probability angle, but arguing that playing the lottery is a tax on ignorance is juvenile and short-sighted. Optimising your bank at that level is like trying to make sure you don't leave a single grain of rice on your plate at dinner.

The maths of starting a business are pretty harsh, the costs of failure are higher and yet still, many people choose to do it. Are they fools? Perhaps. But they consider the cost and potential payouts to be worth it.

See the bigger picture from time to time.
Salon is completely missing the point of adblockers. Half the reason I install them to begin with is so that my computer stops pegging the CPU, spinning up the fans and killing my battery life just to view a goddamn text file. Mining cryptocurrency as I browse doesn't fix that in the slightest. They're solving a problem for them, not for me, so I'll pass.
Because the lottery commission isn't responsible for the legalities of the anonymous trust, state law is.

They don't want to be involved in that, but they're willing to use an externally valid mechanism, which they can't influence.

Personally, there was a way to stay anonymous, and she goofed it up. No sense in changing the system for someone who can't help themselves.

The lottery commission shouldn't be allowed to hide results.
My point is that even humans make fewer mistakes when they're reading an established form structure with pre-defined fields over long-form text. Hence you'd expect a machine to process them better as well, even if it could read like a human.

Two of my projects, textgenrnn (https://github.com/minimaxir/textgenrnn) and reactionrnn (https://github.com/minimaxir/reactionrnn) are among the pretrained models.

While this is allowed by the MIT License (and there is sufficient attribution to the source repos), it might be helpful to more explicitly state that the curated models are forks/modifications. These models also have a dependency on the source packages, which I can't promise that it won't have breaking changes if I do decide to update the package.

I do like the new accompanying examples for those projects, and it's good to see the projects actually being used! :)

Not really a fair comparison - uBlock aren't selling ads. Google are and have been for a decade. There have been many occasions that search has been compromised via advertising from the days of SERPs being mostly adsense mini sites years ago. The response to those also took years despite search being near ruined. Google could have done far more far sooner.
You Too Can Be a Sketching Machine(Hands-On Webinar)
I think one of the fundamental tensions in society is the role of gatekeepers and their gates. The young are biased to view them as unnecessary and the old view them as necessary.

The young often are overconfident, tearing down gates before understanding why they were out up. The old are often blind, gatekeepers often being descendants of the original keepers. So the gatekeepers never saw what the gates are for. Gatekeeping is a self selective process for stubborn loyalty to a cause driven by overbuilt social status needs.

This is why I think "young" energy that wasn't developed in a bubble is the source of everything new.

The gatekeepers WANT to pass along the keys as we are always one generation away from extinction. The trouble is when. And that is muddied by the overconfidence and the over-conservatism. That moment when the toys and the games become serious...
Po.et: The Next Platform for Media and Makers

You misread what I wrote. Making a perpetrator of bad behavior recognize the pain their actions might have caused is different. I'm more talking about telling someone who was on the receiving end what others interpret as bad behavior not feeling like they were victims. I don't feel comfortable trying to convince someone they were a victim if they don't feel victimized, and I feel even less comfortable telling them they were victimized if they felt empowered by their experience.
I wasn't addressing the article, just the GP. My experience was with my daughter's school. She was in 1st grade five years ago, but through 4th grade she was still bringing home piles of worksheets that had been done in class, and some more for homework(!). Talking with other parents at other schools at the time, they had similar experiences. I'd be thrilled if five years has made a huge difference, but I'm not optimistic.

I should note that we're in a not-terrific school district, and that there's a whole chain of people from the teacher up to state legislators on up to, I suppose, Betsy DeVos who can effect how the standards are addressed.

Sure. But thats different from law makers enforcing it.

Great info, thanks for posting.
That's a remarkable death prediction for a cultural practice that's been active for many thousands of years.
Social media mobbing would be one good guess. If you're berating someone online, and you have no previous relationship with them, you're more problem than solution. In fact, I'd even suggest that you need some sort of strong relationship with them, not just "I'm one of their 25,000 followers". In general I expect online social mores to be very different than they are today, because they are entirely unsustainable today.

Another possibility that comes to mind is today's hard-core helicopter parenting. As more and more stuff comes out about how ultimately damaging it is it's going to be harder and harder to justify. But it will be interesting watching the school systems have to adjust back to allowing boys to rough house and take risks after so many years of inhibiting it. That's going to be a rough transition.
I think your argument is very flawed. AFAIK there are no absolute guidelines to judge what is good or bad.

Many of these things are cultural and very much dependent on society and how you were brought up in it. That's not to say that society as a whole cannot mess it up in a legendary way (judging from an outside perspective).

I see history not as a linear progression towards a culture or society that is more just, better or more moral. It's not been proven either way, but I suggest non-action and non-judgment on an individual level. I understand you to mean that we should actively pass judgment on individuals that are part of a culture that we consider inferior because they are older.

> Consciousness is the observation of your self. There is only one system that can make that observation, you.

Thanks, I guess that's exactly the point I wanted to make, but couldn't. Therefore there cannot be an objective measure of consciousness itself, as for objectiveness you need more than one observer. Of course you can measure properties we think are associated with consciousness.

> Intelligence is hard to measure, but I can objectively say what is and what isn't intelligent. It is not the same kind of subjectivity.

Via IQ tests?

> And in general, your table idea, that only works for systems that can be in a limited amount of states. You cannot do it for an intelligence test, especially not if I get to redesign the test after you finished your table, same for consciousness.

You're right you could beat my table by designing a test which is not tabulated. But, when I use a neural network instead of a table I might be able to score a high IQ, even though the network never has seen the test you designed as shown here: https://arxiv.org/abs/1710.01692. I wouldn't call such a network intelligent.

I'd love it if I could just hire people who had already done some work for me, or who had a really good Github portfolio. However demanding that rules out loads of other good candidates. I find the take home project to be the best alternative. I normally only give them to people that I expect to interview. I don't expect many to "fail", though it filters out the worst and identifies some stars. I find the conversation that I then have with them about it in the interview is the most useful part.
As far as I've seen, no one noticed that this is about the old legacy version of Skype, the "rewritten client" they talk about in the article is the current Electron-based client. That one and the UWP version are not affected by this.
I agree she opted in.

However, for your "Forbes" example the law makes a distinction between a public person and a private person.

Many many "private" people successfully sue Forbes to get off their annual "kidnap and ransom" list. The key to being declared a private person is never making public comments or speeches, etc.
But then they don't get money from that user ever again.

It only makes sense to do that if they suspect that is the last job their user will take. Otherwise it's better to keep the user happy and keep taking a percentage for all their future work.
Do you think they just do this all in their heads?

It's not cumbersome at all, they have POS systems that track individuals at tables, not whole tickets. The server inputs for the table as well as which chair they are sitting in. Then it is very easy to split a ticket in a variety of ways. I think you are complicating the process in your mind or you frequent places that don't use technology.
This actually seems pretty smart. But even if you get everything right with the user experience, you're probably looking at a fraction of a cent in the time spent reading even a long article.

I've been mining a little Monero for fun lately, and even with decent hardware and the GPU fully engaged, I'm looking at a couple dollars a week from overnight mining.
However, I will add that often a clerk won't scan your ticket if it's not signed. Therefore, if you want to check your numbers without signing the ticket, your options are self scan, their official app, online numbers, newspapers etc. Lots of options.
Too risky. Surely they have unrevealed security measures to detect fraudulent tickets.
> The GDPR isn't actually as bad as people claim. The law is actually pretty reasonable. It is the result of years of discussion and deliberation. In fact, privacy watchdogs are complaining that it doesn't go far enough - it leaves plenty of holes.

I'm feeling a huge cultural gap in the discussions in this thread.

Americans seem to have a different tolerance for privacy abuse and draw the line elsewhere.

And I suppose that's okay, live and let live etc. However, so far it's really been mainly US tech companies pushing their views on privacy (read: less of it) in the EU market (kind of poisoning the field for EU companies as well, because obviously you can make more profit that way).

I don't see the (EU) public making a huge fuss about EU businesses taken to court over privacy violations (which happens), because we see it as justice as usual.

Now that the EU(/Germany) pushes back against a huge US corporation (ok multinational, technically), it's considered really harsh, from a US point of view. Some arguments going even as far as attacking our legal system (which is a bit much, coming from the US, IMHO. Americans themselves flat out admit justice is a matter of financial resources and consider that justice as usual). Apparently we have different values.

Personally, I agree it doesn't go far enough even though I'm very happy with the German ruling and hope other countries will follow suit.
