so I'm a couple comments up; I do think that audiobooks can be better for some things... but even when the recording is so good you might be able to call it better than the book, it's just... a really different experience from reading a book.

As to early literature, I just got done reading Emily Wilson's new translation of the Odyssey. she goes into that a little in the introduction, about the difference between something you recite and something you read, and about how the odyssey is sort of in-between those two things; clearly it wasn't just homer taking dictation, but it also clearly does contain some artifacts unique to an oral storytelling tradition.

Well said, it is time for us to know what it is liked to get fucked a bit. Should help us be better neighbors. I am excited we are getting to this point, and also afraid, a non-uni-lateral world might be one that ends in violence.

The data that the Obama campaign used, and the one that the Trump campaign may have used (it is clear they had it, unclear that they used it) were very different both in collection and in scope. The Obama campaign asked supporters which of their FaceBook contacts they thought were likely to be receptive to messages from the team, and only collected the FaceBook handles. The information shared with the Trump campaign was collected (not by the Trump campaign) was far more reaching than just the FaceBook name, including a lot of personal information both about the people who installed the "personality test" app, and the personal information of all of their FaceBook "friends".

Trying to equate these two is just not honest.

Separately I would expect the same phrasing and vocabulary to emerge in the media. They are all talking to the same general pool of sources, and listening to each other. What I do not expect (and smacks of authoritarianism) is for them to all be reading from the exact same script.
This is one of the strategies they use on some of the drivers in the TV show "Canada's Worst Driver", to get the ones scared of driving to regain control, convince the distracted ones to watch the road, and teach the ones who don't know where to look how to look at everything.

(They don't do any pointing though, because that would require taking their hands off the wheel)
I think most PhDs are well aware that they are sacrificing a great amount potential income for academia and the prestige

Just because you've covered the material doesn't mean there's not a distinct advantage in knowing the questions ahead of time.

Thanks for the thoughtful comment. I think people experience sleep pattern oscillation when they are trying to live on the wrong schedule. Night owls end up with a non-24hr sleep pattern when they try to live off cycle for too long. I experienced that myself when I was a lawyer in New York.

Hah, as artwork the only thing that is relevant is our personal impressions! My impression may not be relevant to you and vice verse, but who cares?

I never said it wasn’t performance art through noise. It’s definitely performance art through noise.

It’s just that if there is any meaning to the word “music” above and beyond “structured noise” then I’m not sure this hits the bar.

@jedimastert commented below that in fact it was precisely this threshold which the artist was exploring in this piece, so instead of foreclosing on the discussion outright as somehow diminishing their work, maybe appreciate that there’s an interesting question here which actually isn’t just a matter of “turn off that god awful noise!”
"Grindr's users may not be aware that they are sharing such data with them"

I believe that to be an understatement!
Simplified Chinese being the most common language (by far at 52%) threw me for a loop, though it probably shouldn't in this day and age. (For context: English - 23%, Russian - 7.7%, Spanish - 2.8%).
The only thing that stopped me from calling the authors morons was that I googled their names and discovered they were both MIT PhDs.

My only hope is that AI ethics doesn't become an MBA specification or else this mainly sounds like an excuse for more non-technicals with loud opinions to bs their way to into the industry, with some kind of moral high ground over coders

Edit: Oh, author's entire career niche is and has been AI ethics, so, at any rate, he's just pumping his own field at an opportune moment
> This shouldn't be in the hands of a regulatory agency. Serious privacy violations should be legislated and treated as outright crimes, not just regulation infringements.

IHIPAA is largely in the hands of HHS as a regulatory body, and yet violation of its privacy mandates (including those HHS is empowered to detail by regulation) are “outright crimes” as well as also potential civil offenses, not some distinct and lesser category of “regulatory violations”.

Your argument seems deeply grounded in an incorrect assumption about what it means to involve a regulatory agency.
You can delete the data from your profile.
I'm going to be honest. IMHO publishing a paper should be like doing a PR on github and there is no reason it shouldn't be.

You do your research, read the "PR" i.e. submission guidelines and submit it, - sure let the committer and reviewers be anonymized until the PR has been accepted - then just pull it into a "Repo" aka journal and be done.

How can this process cost tons of money?

>It started 24 years ago with the Clinton administration granting China "most favored nation" status.

This is wholly inaccurate. China has had MFN status continuously since 1980.[0] Clinton renewed China's MFN waiver in 1994, as did every president each year until trade relations were permanently normalized under Bush in 2002 after China acceded to the WTO.[1]

"Most favored nation" itself is a bit of a misnomer — now known as "(permanent) normal trade relations," it's a status granted to every trading partner. Only two countries (Cuba & North Korea) are denied NTR, with an additional six (Belarus, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan) granted temporary NTR under periodically renewed waivers.[2] Those denials and waivers are based on the Jackson–Vanik amendment to the Trade Act of 1974, punishing countries for violating human rights under communism, not as a trade negotiation tactic.[3]

MFN/PNTR is a core tenet of the world trade agreements (and liberal international order generally) that the United States has been pushing for decades. The very first article of the 1947 General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) established unconditional MFN treatment among members.[4] It remains the guiding principle of the modern WTO.

The denial of MFN/PNTR status to China was an anomaly, not the norm — a bet that allowing China into the global community would accomplish more for human rights and well-being than isolating China and preventing the economic rise that's propelled half a billion people out of extreme poverty in three decades.

Interesting this was filed in September 2016
Yeah, while it's easy to criticise, based on Elsevier's reputation, reviewing for them strikes me as somewhat unethical by most standards.

EDIT: by most standards that at least don't involve some situation of comfort. If you're comfortable in academia, you're probably enabling some unethical shit, is what I've come to believe. It's up to you to decide if you can live with the degree of it.

Leave it to shitty Boston roads to nearly kill occupants and confuse Tesla's auto-pilot!
It's an interesting question. I take taxis/ride-hail services almost exclusively when traveling on business (and not really all that often) so I pretty much do whatever is more convenient. I wonder what the overall behavior would be if Uber and Lyft were to ~ double their prices overnight.
I'm talking about DNS and nothing else.

Okay, say, 1 year from now, somehow, 95% of internet users are sending their DNS queries to Cloudflare. What can go wrong? Malicious or not. Not rhetorical, actually curious.
Talk about a coinkydink - last night I turned on The Simpsons for the first time in years, and it's about Krusty becoming a pariah - for being a clown - and making a foray into serious acting.
I think that's the mistake Ballmer made with Windows Phone. He and the other leadership saw the rise of the smartphone and thought "that's the future". The reality is more nuanced; the smartphone created a new market, but it definitely hasn't supplanted the existing "home computer" market, or even really hurt it in any way.

Microsoft should have recognized that, recognized they were late to the party, just let Google & Apple have it, and instead focus on integrating with their products and doubling down on the "home & professional computer" segment they already lead in. But they were late to that as well because of Ballmer's mistake, which gave Apple the in to position the iPad as an up-and-coming product in this segment.

> I wouldn't trust a governmental agency to aggressively fulfill it's mission. My impression is that in general they're too much at the mercy of politicians.

I think this sort of attitude is a big problem - instead of throwing our hands up and deciding that regulatory agencies have always been and thus will always be toothless, we need to give said agencies more power to enable them to actually enforce the rules. Right now, companies regularly weigh the costs of compliance against the costs of non-compliance because to a multinational corporation, the usual fines and punishments just don't hurt that much.

Companies that break the law should regularly never, ever recover financially.
SEEKING WORK - remote, short to medium term projects - zak.wilson@gmail.com

I make software - mostly full-stack web development and HTTP APIs, but I'm adaptable. I have some interest in artificial intelligence and machine learning. I have a little experience making Android apps, and my open-source Android app Ceilingbounce has happy users.

I can do stuff that's harder than basic CRUD apps. Stuff I know well: Clojure, Ruby (with or without Rails), Python, Django, Javascript, Lua, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SASS, responsive CSS.

Other stuff I've used for something non-trivial at least once: Common Lisp, Scheme, Java, SASS, C, PHP, Haskell, Bash, Perl, MongoDB, Mirah, Android development with Clojure. Yes, I can probably pick up that language or tool you're using that nobody has ever heard of.

"&#x1f44e;" to the John Oliver reference. His "reporting" is as biased as it gets. His show is written in a style that convinces the subconscious to accept presented arguments without engaging any serious logical scrutiny. Just try to remember if at any point during any of his broadcasts you actually analyzed the subject of his monologues, rather than simply furthering the thought-process that he was laying out for you. Chances are that you never have because it's written to be persuasive (obviously) and only incidentally informative. Sadly, I know this is precisely what many people now believe "journalism" to be...
Some regulation is bad, but there are plenty of good examples. Regulation on the standards like GSM and use of SIM cards helped new entrants into the European markets. Net Neutrality, standardized electrical systems, etc have benefited everyone large and small. And of course, anti-trust regulations in the EU has not benefited Microsoft or Google.
> Does it need to be slow and shitty? Couldn’t “blockchain technology” in the context just refer to it being an immutable log?

The idea of an immutable log has been around far longer than any blockchain though, so referring to it as "blockchain technology" sounds a bit silly.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful lecture. I would like to know why this guy's mission is to have Robotic Intelligence >= Human Intelligence. What is his reason behind that, he did not divulge. Any guesses?
Do you buy your laptop for screen real estate or for "small and not too heavy"?

Because the latter is what most people buy for, as far as I can tell.
You're screwed either way. If a government agency enforces it, opposition politicians attack it. If courts enforce it, courts are attacked instead and opposition politicians push for changes int eh law. the regulated industry will cheerfully spend shareholder money to drive public sentiment in a favorable direction. In US politics, money dominates everything else.

Hello - I tried sending you an email to be added to your list but was hit with a "550 relay not permitted!" notice.
So it really is recursive turtles after all.
Yes, I just stated the fact that zone defense is much more common in college basketball and that it might explain the disparity in shooting percentages at different distances.

Zone was forbidden in the NBA for a long time and, as you said, even now it doesn't make much sense to run it at this level because of talent, 3 seconds rule and the distance of the 3 point line.
Nothing new. I worked in a newsroom as an intern and most major news stations rely (maybe, relied, it's been a few years) on a tool like ENPS. It's made by the Associated Press and has a "wire" feature where new stories come into. So, e.g., if there was a plane crash, that message would be pushed out to all newsrooms that rely on ENPS.

The news producers were lazy, too. They'd literally take the script that ENPS pushes out, tweak a few words, and put it on air. I was working in a minor midwestern market (Toledo, Ohio). If you watched the evening broadcasts in the same market and nationally, you'd frequently see the same stories and similar verbiage popping up.

Being surprised by a broadcast group like Sinclair was forcing a narrative is like being surprised that the sky is blue. The "news" is highly filtered and easily controlled. To think otherwise is deliberate ignorance.

The broadcasting industry is corrupt and untrustworthy as all hell. My father worked in it at a high level (owning licenses and stations) and he'd frequently come home from trips either stone faced or frustrated beyond belief: https://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/22/business/media/22spectrum... (he's the stately looking black fella throwing a fit in this piece).

To trust anything the mass media tells you is to severely handicap your intelligence. Unfortunately, large swats of the general public do exactly that.

> A free press is "free" because it's unconstrained by a Government or capricious regulation [...]

Add to that monopolistic corporate power.
So, this explains the creepy video I saw over the weekend, of numerous news stations reciting the same canned speech, verbatim. When I see one station doing it, or similar sentiment from multiple stations in their own words, that might slightly temper my cynicism about the (lack of) objectivity and truthfulness of the news. But when I see shit like this, it only serves to harden my cynicism.
