Two relatively obscure soundtracks I can recommend are Ori and the Blind Forest and Thomas Was Alone.
Normally I agree about judges' disdain for cute tricks. However, judges already accept corps having legal entity status, which is the hard part of this idea.

If this was used to try and shelter a human identity then a judge might pierce that, but if there is just a company that has bought up all of its shares (or controlling shares), then there is no particular shielding involved.

We already see corps today preventing individual liability...many corps committed fraud (?) in their risk assessments (at a minimum) leading to the Great Recession, but I'm unaware of any human going to jail, and if any human was convicted of anything it was relatively trivial. Instead what happened was some corporate ownership traded hands.

As soon as/if remote-work-via-contract becomes a thing at the higher levels, it is easy to think of a company having human workers, but lacking actual humans at the top.

That doesn't mean skynet...but it does mean no human for the judge to unveil. Just a corporation represented by human lawyers. We probably wouldn't even notice in most cases.
I wonder how they plan to reduce the costs of fairings when spaceX fairings cost most than their entire launch cost.
I don't use facebook but I was under the impression facebook video has been unpopular so far. I certainly have never heard anyone I know mention that they saw a video on facebook, but maybe that's because they say it's "From CNN" and actually it's from their facebook page?

We're at the top of the market. Their capitalizing on that. Bad investors will make bad decisions on any platform. When we hit a recession, all these people will pull out just like any other recession. We'll see them back 7 years later.
"Hobbyist"? It's widely used in research in data science & machine learning.

If you want a setup which works on various systems, and uses Python numeric packages, usually it is the most failsafe way to use with various OS. (Unless you want to put everything in docker.)

Unless by "professional" you mean "building", well - then you have a point.

There are already personal preferences in partners that are so common that they're basically norms. I don't see a world where people take longevity of a potential partners health in to consideration on top of height, face, class, etc; and the government decides to get involved, to be all that much worse than the one where people just take height, face, class, etc in to consideration and the government decides to get involved.

To me an appropriate analogy would be if burkas were the norm for everyone, some guy was all "I wish we could easily see peoples faces when trying to date. I have a really attractive face and I'd like a partner with the same", then someone was all "the government will get involved!"

How and why? Prevent uglies from dating hotties? The market already does a decent job of that.

There's no department for "dating profile height fraud".

No one cries "eugenics!" at being able to see how attractive your partner is.
True! I think that the reason why we do not perceive CM3 as popular is that it is not something that you can use right away. Unlike Pi Zero it requires a custom carrier board, which narrows customers to those who are trying to build a product with it. They normally do not share much online :)

Neutis has advantages over CM3, it is much smaller, comes with Wi-Fi and BT and the connectors take much less space on the PCB!
If algorithm wasn't required, then one might create two corporations that own each other with one taking action in market. That way what has ownership is something that is already allowed to own something under existing law. One outsources its management or other operational capability to the other so only one is actually doing stuff. The other is just there.

What do you who are more knowledgeable about this kind of law or prior decisions think of that? Is it just as unlikely to work or a bit more likely?

Yep it could e-sign. EU regulation 910/2014 had a concept of e-stamp in addition to e-sign.

In Ukraine we fill taxes with e-sign and get a signed reciept back. Reciept e-signature however is not linked to any human and simply states "fiscal service. recieved" it is considered to be legally signed by a legal entity itself.

Normally you would see some person signing on behalf of company with both person and legal entity listed in X509, but not with stamps.
What kind of consistency guarantees can this database provide? Does it support some type of lock so it can be used to give real-time account balances and prevent overdrawing an account?

It depends on your business, but in the end it is just an average.

If you are a saas business then you may find churn is a case of customers trying the product and then disappearing (often forever). This appears to be the situation you are describing.

With eCommerce it can be completely different, people order once and then take months to re-order. Maybe you sell gifts and people don't come back until next Christmas! For a business like this, churn is simply a matter of 'did they order again within the time period'

If you are in the first group then flattening churn to one number is totally unhelpful. What would you do with that anyway? With business metrics it is important to ask yourself why you are measuring, and what you are going to do with the output. You need to consider the likely behavior for a person trying your service.

Imagine you are 2 years into your service and you decide to make a change which may impact retention, then measuring the 1 month and 2 month drop off may be a much better metric than some 12 month average. You need to measure things that make sense in your business. Taken this way it is a bit like regression testing, did my change break the company.

Perhaps you were thinking of benchmarking churn against some market average? Unless you have fabulous market research with almost identical competitors this seems pointless.
"College grads do better then those who did not went to college..."

This is simply selection bias or survivorship bias:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selection_bias

"They do worst then grads of previous generation though"

Again, selection bias. Currently everyone except a limited few are encouraged to go to college therefore the effect of selection bias has weakened over time and current grads don't do as well as grads of generations past.
I haven't been able to find an objective measure of standard of living on a generational basis, but according to Pew, people in general believe theirs will be as good if not better than their parents. This contrasts with the belief that rural Americans have.

Long ago, news ltd offered me a 10:1 pricebreak to sign up for a year. I got the national flagship paper delivered all week including the saturday funnies for a dollar.

It was a classic 'boil the frog slowly' campaign. I boosted their print circulation numbers and over the next five years I barely noticed the increments until I paid full price.

I stopped because Murdoch press is toxic. But the trick undoubtedly worked.

The up front paywall costs we're exposed to are far higher than the 'free option' choices. 2c is closer to free than $2 is in my own mental barrier. If we had a sensible marginal cost micropayments framework, I would subscribe initially to a lot of press for 2c per day, and probably tolerate the incremental costs.

the WSJ headline offer is $1 for two months. Thats damn close to my margins. I think they've got the message.

The AFR, an Australian equivalent, want to give me a month free but then $69 per month. I don't think they understand kitchen-sink economics as well as either Mrs Thatcher, or the WSJ.

>Even an 30min from one of the 10 biggest cities on the USA, broadband is still unavailable to a majority, ambulance times are in hours, and school funding is increasingly disappearing.

I can't speak for school funding, but are you actually suggesting ambulance response times were better in those areas in the past? Or broadband?

Obtain a visa to an EU country and/or sell your account to an EU citizen after May 25, so that they can either file a "right to be forgotten" request under the GDPR, or, generally, engage their "right of a Data Subject to withdraw consent" for personal data to be held against the account.
Pretty sure OP was just adding that in so that they'd avoid needless discussion regarding emotionally-charged labels like 'terrorist'. The term almost certainly applies, but lets talk about the acts and the environment itself, rather than perpetrators of horrific acts and their presumable-but-technically-unknown motivations.

Consider four different people:

1. a lawyer who works 100 hours/week flirting with a heart attack and earns $480,930

2. a small business owner who sells their plumbing co after 4 decades and earns $480,930 from the sale, but never broke six figures before

3. a retiree who sits on the couch 24/7 and earns $480,930 in passive dividends

4. a professional of some kind who works 20 hours/week in a low stress job and earns $480,930

The press likes to talk about these data points, and it's valuable information, but ultimately income tells a very small piece of the story. Source of income, job security, cost of living, and quality of life all matter a lot too.
Even if it's true on average, it certainly doesn't need to be true for any given family.

B.S., the drop was due to a downgrade by a wall street analyst. The analyst thinks the new interface will alienate users and therefore the company will have a drop in revenue.
In order to do that you'd have to re-hash each of the data-dumped passwords with a new salt, each time you wanted to do a comparison. But a good password-hash algorithm is specifically designed to be slow, so re-hashing the whole database will take quite a lot of computational power, likely enough to make that strategy infeasible.

> How would they know there's no human owner?

If they ever cared enough to look, I'd imagine.

People get away with illegal or unlawful things all the time because of the unawareness of the authorities, but that doesn't change the nature of those things.
It's not the form of signature that is important here. It's the act of signing itself. Legal entities do not sign anything, they give authority to some human to do it in their name.
For Foundations and other non-profits that don't have owners, there are no shares to sell. The assets belong to the "Public" and if the organization winds down, the trustees have to designate another non-profit to receive the excess assets (less liabilities) or they just turn over everything to the government.

Why wouldn't Steven Pinker be capable of engaging with any modern philosopher? He is certainly in the top 1% of rational and intelligent human beings on Earth.

Saying "nobody" is at least partially wishful thinking. Hell, lots of people on HN want it. Just look at recent discussions of encryption backdoors for FBI.
> Does Snapchat not have any user feedback

This is the most important lesson for any service that depends on a community of users for survival: involve them in the update process, or you will scare them away. Even if the new version is objectively better (which is rare), unexpected changes cause confusion and anger.

I encourage anybody involved in making this kind of service to watch this[1] talk from NOTACON by Joe Peacock of fark.com about their experience deploying a surprise redesign, then compounding the anger with their infamous reply:

How about not talking shit about things you don't understand?
It's funny though, but understandable. The platform must be built in a world where the problem platform is trying to solve exists.

I actually have bad reasonably good experiences selling random stuff around the house on eBay. I also thought it had been overtaken by professional sellers, especially when bidding is basically no longer a thing on eBay anymore, but I set up 7 day auctions for a dozen items I wanted to get rid of (books, computer accessories, old games, etc) and all but one sold without much hassle.

All three startups I have been involved with have had board-level approval for individual equity grants. I have never seen any real push-back on them, but I have also never heard of the board relinquishing control over something so vital.

The employment contract guarantees the equity subject to board approval. I'm not quite sure why people are making such a big deal out of this.
> Aren’t the Baby Boomers the last generation alive today that will on average have a better standard of living than their parents?

Probably not. Gen X was predicted to be the first to do worse than their parents, but subsequently the Millennials were also predicted to be the first to (so I assume it hasn't turned out that way, on average, for GenX, or maybe GenX just got forgotten again as always seems to happen.) OTOH, the post-Millenial generation (GenZ) is already near near the age at which the GenX and Millennials predictions were first made, and I haven't heard anyone predicting it will happen/continue with them.

And the post-post-Millenial generation is alive today, so in any case it's probably pretty presumptuous to say that the Baby Boomers will be the last generation to be alive today to do anything except, I dunno, grow up without computers.
Designers also need to ask what is the economic price of disrupting existing user expectations.
Paraphrased from my econ 101 textbook:

Suppose in a given day, Henry can catch up to 4 deer, or 6 antelopes. John can catch 24 deer, or 12 antelopes. John can catch way more of either animal than Henry, so we say John has an absolute advantage in both products. You might think that John can not benefit from trading with Henry, because he can produce every product better than Henry can.

However, we can break it down another way:

It costs Henry 3/2 antelopes to catch 1 deer, and 2/3 deer to catch one antelope (prove it to yourself: 6/4 and 4/6). It costs John 1/2 antelope to catch 1 deer, and 2 deer to catch one antelope. Thus, it costs less for Henry to specialize in catching antelopes, and for John to specialize in deer. This is comparative advantage. Then, when they trade at a rate between the two opportunity costs, they can achieve a combination of products unattainable individually:

Before trade:

- Henry: 6 antelopes, 0 deer

- John: 0 antelopes, 24 deer

After trade:

- Henry: 4 antelopes, 2 deer

- John: 2 antelopes, 22 deer

While their totals are the same here, because an exchange rate of 1 antelope to 1 deer works out here, it helps to look at it graphically:

For this, we can make a production possibilities curve (or line, to keep it simple), which is a graph of possible outputs where the axes are the amount of each product that John or Henry can produce in a day.

Here's Henry's: https://i.imgur.com/k9xS7Sj.png (vertical axis is antelopes, horizontal is deer)

Henry can obtain any point on or inside the purple. Any point outside of that is unobtainable. However, with trade, he can obtain it! The result of trade is the green dot.

Here's John's: https://i.imgur.com/V6aFZkm.png

As you can see, they both obtain points outside of what's possible to produce alone, due to comparative advantage!

Note: I don't claim to be an economics expert (just a high schooler taking the AP course!), and I'm sure there will be lots of better explanations in this thread!
In no way. The last statement very clearly is ambiguous, and does not preclude the creation of ad-driven revenue. They are in fact saying, "These are the problems with current ad-driven search services" and very heavily implying "we're going to do it differently."
I mean, sort of. That's less than 6% of the dv you need to get to LEO. If this thing can only add another 3k mph we're still at less than a quarter of the dv needed to get to space today. It might make a reasonable 'first stage' if they can work though the tech needed to get to that 3k without destroying the payload, but it doesn't sounds like it's capable of anything resembling a complete 'launch system' for things wanting to go to space.
The funny thing about that is like the press, the IRS does not care about anything you said either
Yes, I am watching that one as well with great interest. It will be interesting to see what evidence comes out of that around any pre-election efforts to manipulate the results.

That's basically just bitcoin at this point. Lots of alternatives.
I've done that for a number of languages (ruby, python, perl, java, haskell, elm, c, erlang, lua, tcl, etc.) and their inevitable "yet another package manager" via nix.

Making them all use hashed fixed input sources without allowing any networking or file access during their build and install phases brings me great joy. That's not only useful for deployment but also so you don't end up with development environments that have subtle differences.

This enables me to focus more on my developer job. Getting things done faster and with confidence.
I'm sure at some point, just like with programming languages, people will start to ask for more immutability and reproducibility in their OS as well.
