They used to be popular like 10+ years ago, so I don't remember the URL, There's a test called "turing test". I've a vague memory that the bot I tested was called Alice. I tried Google but got flooded with crap. It seems the market has been monetized, the bots I tested 10 years ago where much more impressive then what I can find now. They learned by talking to real humans so it's possible that the public ones have been abused in order to get them to say nasty things.
I think it's totally ok, and it should be accepted. Public services are meant to be cost centers. If they bring in profits, they do so indirectly (e.g. better health of citizens -> better GDP -> more money in taxes).

The trick is to still find ways to apply pressure so that a service gets better and more efficient in time, instead of attracting parasites that'll use it as money drain. Like a lot of healthcare-related businesses seem to do (heard plenty of horror stories from someone I know who's studying medicine and interned at hospitals, and we're talking about a country with public healthcare).

They sell making money to drivers and saving money to riders. Yes, they get a cut, but their model would collapse the moment that working for them becomes unprofitable (when the rideshare bubble bursts during the next recession that is about to hit).
There are 2 reasons
- Health issues - trouble breathing.
- getting stuck in the car that's on fire, drowning etc. (yes I know you are better of with the seatbelt)
You are talking about providing health care. Not inventing new treatments. Those countries are all using treatments invented developed and funded by the market model which is mostly paid for by us consumers, which is part of why us prices are so high.

The US has the best outcomes in the world if you have money. Which is why rich people from all over the world come here for treatment. We just have lower average outcomes because of access disparities.
First up, let me be clear that wireless technology is utter black magic to me. SpaceX's satellite internet service may or may not work in densely populated areas, I have no idea.

But what if their target market (at least for the beginning) were under-served rural areas? There are lots of villages and small towns in industrialised countries where the highest speed you can currently get is in the low single-digit MBit/s. Loads of people currently have no good internet access options but could afford SpaceX's service (based on what's publicly known about it, the estimates I've seen are that it will likely cost something between $50 and $100 per month). It would also be extremely interesting to businesses in such areas (Germany has quite a few of these, for example).

I think there might just be enough potential customers in sparsely populated areas to make this a profitable service. They can also provide backhaul for cell phone services in such areas.

Oh, and if they can get it working on ships (small sailing yachts, pleasure cruises, and commercial shipping could all profit from this) and airplanes, that might be another nice market to capture.

There's a huge mismatch between the interest of the investors (sell as much drugs as possible, for the highest possible price) and those of the consumers (be healthy without depending on external input).

The pharma industry should be working hard on planning its own obsolescence.

The same dynamic is at work in the food industry, which is responsible for the obesity epidemics.

Capitalism as it is practiced right now has catastrophic flaws. We need to change the rules of the game, yes, and not necessarily seek profit and growth at all costs.
I don't understand the point you're trying to make.

Blocking Telegram helps Russian intelligence operations by making it appear like as if the Russian government did not have access to the vast majority of conversations over Telegram.
You are welcome and thank you.
R&D doesn't happen in non-profit government corporations either (atleast not largely). Most R&D comes from the manufacturers where the state (or relevant institution) buys the drugs from.

However, in a single payer or similar systems, if a drug company decides to hike the price, the state (or institution) can swallow the cost and continue medical services to citizens until the situation is resolved (either by legislation or court cases). Since the state (or institution) is not a for-profit it doesn't matter as much if they sink a lot of cost as long as everyone can get their medical treatment.
This is just marketing for black mirror season 5, right?
Their hepC treatment is $84,000. And also somehow not profitable enough.

You think government-run bot armies would comply with government issued ban? Oh boy.
IDE does not try to analyze Gradle scripts directly, it works with declarative model that is created by executing Gradle scripts.
Gradle works in two stages:
1. Configuration: scripts execute and produce software model (DAG of tasks essentially).
2. Execution of necessary tasks in the graph.

IDE cannot get the graph by analyzing scripts, but it does not need to: instead it can ask Gradle for the model. The model itself has nothing to do with Turing completeness.

If you upload personal identifiable information about me surely I should have the right to get it removed? You already have no right to upload the data in the first place without my explicit permission, so the problem in your scenario is not GDPR compliance unless I gave you permission and if I did I have the right to remove the permission at any point in time already if I so chose. I don't see how GDPR changes anything in that scenario.
That sounds like the stupidest idea, unless doctors are given the right and ability to control your activities and diet, and who you breed with or are bred from to avoid genetic defects.

The last part of your question is easy to answer. Before you start processing personal information, you need to ask the affected persons for consent. So now you know how to identify them.

If you want to get away without consent, you need to design your system in such a way that it doesn't hold personal information. E.g., maybe randomize the raw tracking data as first processing step, and only keep the randomized version.
Yeah, sure. _will_ is the keyword.

The US has average healthcare when money is no object. The weathty often seak treatment outside the US and occasionally wealthy people come to the US on a case by case basis.

The core problem is treatments entail risk, so doing more eventually results in worse outcomes. Further the incentives are around doing more, putting the healthcare system in opposition to heathy patients.
GPS broadcasts several signals, the higher precision ones are encrypted - until 1999 GPS was encrypted at much lower resolution but the army and armies it shares its tech with still operate at a higher resolution.

The US can lock countries out of higher resolution GPS at will - this (and GLONASS) make sense because of it.
They may, but these institutions are keen on cures and not on treatments.

I am completely on the side of having government agencies developing cures and licensing out to companies then. This would avoid the perverse incentive of the OP. It also would stop the pervasive argument that patents are necessary to get new pharmaceuticals developed (I don't believe in patents benefit to society).

Actually they copied it from all major OOP languages with common root object that were already prevalent before Java was designed.

IRATA.ONLINE: a PLATO-based online community for retro-enthusiasts
This looks like a lot of fun:

http://www.irata.online/

This fascinating experiment in retro-computing brings online a system based around the archaic PLATO computing system, which was a pre-cursor of the Internet and in many ways a pioneer of features we, even still today, take for granted:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PLATO_(computer_system)

PLATO featured a Multi-user, subject-ordered messaging/bulletin system, built-in development tools, graphics and hypertext before they were even a thing...

Most fascinating to the average HN reader, perhaps, might be the docs - here as example of the tenacity of a forgotten era, an intro to the TUTOR programming language, around which PLATO is based:

http://www.irata.online/assets/Introduction_to_Tutor-937ef6097482f2c79f790977c80516e1bd11bb52178baec607a4c34860b3969b.pdf

Could we resurrect these technologies in this day and age, and thus solve ourselves the Facebook problem? Perhaps there are gems yet to learn from these pioneers ..
I'm from Russia. Let me be honest. I personally and many my friends do support blocking Telegram.

We are full of this freedom-related bullshit. There is no freedom in the Internet. Currently we share our private information with CIA. We don't like it, but that's OK. Everybody still uses Facebook, Gmail, etc, etc. But when Russian Federal Security Service whats to access user's private data, everybody starts screaming. Shut up already.

In that case, individuals are data controllers and not data processors. Everyone posting on an online forum controls the data they post. Adding 'delete post' button fulfils the requirement for a data processor.
So you would say that though? Like I've just never heard my хозяйка квартиры say that is all. I hear it often in things like "would you like some tea/beer?" etc or "i'm going to buy some tea/beer" but never like that. My impression was that outside of those contexts it's not popular. Mind sharing some examples? Would be really useful! :)
Telegram was developed in the VK offices in St. Petersburg and is deliberately implemented in a manner which allows the operators to intercept the vast majority of the chats on the platform.

Durovs have spent years pretending to live in exile from Russia, despite regularly spending time in the country.

What exactly sounds like a conspiracy theory?

The theory that Telegram isn't controlled by Kremlin sounds far less credible to me.

Indeed. My comment only shows that, but as a follow-up it's also clearly not a forked codebase. Facebook UI changes show up at the exact same time, and as a practical matter they must be syncing regularly if both access the same underlying storage.
Drugs that have an impact like their Hep C treatment don't come around every year, or even every decade. It's almost a lottery.
Well, it's blocked by all the ISPs I have in any place. Generally Telegram will be blocked, and which is more imprortant, they will likely remove it from the app stores in Russia.
Most R&D, in the US as elsewhere, make massive use of public funds.
What they should do is review the subsidization of Chinese companies shipping to U.S. customers, often at the expense of makers and merchants in the U.S.:

According to the terms set out in Universal Postal Union treaty, the USPS in 2014 gets paid no more than about $1.50 for delivering a one-pound package from a foreign carrier, which makes it hard to cover costs. [1] The USPS inspector general’s office estimated that the USPS lost $79 million in fiscal year 2013 delivering this foreign treaty mail. (The Postal Service itself declined to provide specific figures.)

In an effort to ride the e-commerce boom, the Postal Service signed a deal in 2010 with China’s state carrier to sell a special service for small packages entering the U.S. For a small premium, the USPS offered tracking and delivery confirmation, an essential feature for online retailers, as well as expedited shipping.

... In 2012, USPS was paid only 94 cents on average for each piece of Chinese ePacket mail, according to a February report from the Postal Service’s inspector general’s office. That report estimated that the Postal Service was losing about a dollar on each incoming item, adding up to a $29.4 million net loss in 2012.

Forums on eBay are filled with angry notes about ePacket. “I must say that it is simply an economic disaster for US Sellers,” one person wrote. “One product that we sell for 2.00 with 2.50 shipping a chinese company is selling for .99 with free shipping,” another complained.

They were numerous such reports about the iPhone X -- after it was made available and until Apple published their quarterly results, and it became evident that all those reports and analysts speaking of bad sales were all bogus.

So verb forms are not the only part of grammar. In these examples you've covered sequences of tenses, mood, word order, and it could be argued aspect. Ask someone to point out the parts of speech and they'd be able to point out the pronoun and verb, that's usually it.

It seems pretty clear that instead of letting people be underpaid (which affects the economy badly anyway) they prefer people to be paid properly.

In Netherlands there's a proposal that employers who use flex workers should actually pay more social benefits for such people. This as these workers will likely need more social security. That cost needs to be on the employer, plus it'll encourage companies to hire people on a permanent contract.

This. Bothered to login to say what you said.

We talk about AI optimized to create paper clips accidentally running amok and turning the world into paper clips. Why isn't profit a similar problem? Government agencies are just AI running on meat. Give them success parameters different than raw profits.

Honestly, why can't we see this as just a variant of the instrumental convergence problem?

Are VPN Services Legal?
>but it's acceptable under EU data protection reqs

No it isn't. This is what got Facebook in hot waters awhile back. Marking a picture as deleted isn't the same as deleting it. Some other mechanism could easily point to where the data is actually located and not just its descriptor.
Having spent quite a bit of time in the US, I've noticed that getting somewhere there takes about the same amount time as home (which happens to be Sweden, hence me clicking the link). As an anecdotal example, some common times for me were about as follows: Going to work, 15 minutes. Grocery store, 5 minutes. Larger shopping mall, 30 minutes. The difference is that in the US that time is spent driving, while home it's walking/biking. So my control of my local 4-vector is essentially equivalent, just with a different space scaling factor applied.
I have never tried Alexa. While I am quite invested in Apple's ecosystem, I also have a Google Home and the Google Assistant is MUCH better than Siri. It understands my non-native English accent much better and also understands way more different requests.
Still unblocked for me, but got the VPN at the ready... Removal from the app stores would be much more effective, at least on iOS.
Perhaps your friends are not representative then.

They have been continuously selling more each year, and have multi-billion share of Apple's sales now. Apple speaks of "50 percent unit growth for 4th quarter in a row".

(And of course eclipse in sales any other smart watch -- more than 10x times more).

neat. but why do you need a service at all to detect blocking? you can use timing to also do it easily without the need for any server component at all.

perhaps this works poorly for firewalls near to the service but you declared the problem to be one close to the client. AIUI
I can't wait. Siri "AI" is one of my biggest tech disappointments. I was expecting Apple to data mine the millions of voices and questions they got and teach Siri new things every week. Years later, Siri still can't understand that I want to call back my missed phone calls.
In many places it’s dependence. If everything you need requires traveling miles without good sidewalks, bike lanes, etc. and the population density is too low for public transit, a car is a requirement.
Map, filter, and reduce your ideas. Health, fitness, and healthcare all fall into the same bucket. However, the money is in helping companies operate more efficiently. Lots of great opportunities in the area of automation. I would start talking to people who work in healthcare companies about how they process their data. They still rely heavily on copying and pasting from excel spreadsheets. To give you an idea, I just built a system to do such thing at work. Took me a 2 days. It could easily be replicated and sold as a sass or onetime purchase. Plus it is selking shovels because no one likes to process data manually.

Environment wise, I'd say that there is opportunity in the data collection side (this would make you a middleman). Lots of orgs need a way to CRUD localized enviromental data. Look into it.

About dividing and conquering.

Again: map, filter, and reduce. Map your ideas to business models (money making functions). Filter them to remove the ones who don't have a clear path to revenue. Reduce down to the one you can execute. Take your time.

Also, are there any negative consequences for the driver when a ride is canceled, even before the start of the ride? I can imagine that Ueber can detect when driver and client are within talking distance (from cellphone GPS coordinates), so they can detect and penalize this form of "gaming".

The user who posts the photo is a data controller, and it is her obligation under GDPR to remove the photo when requested.

>> mobbing, shaming and regulating away outrageous prices.

Mobbing and shaming are absolutely part of a free market economy, as they manage information flow and create downward pressure on demand, and they punish bad actors. Regulation is essential because lo and behold, empirical evidence shows there are a number of situations where the magic free market completely fails at providing good outcomes. Good outcomes in the sense of, you know, achieving human-level fairness and progress, not shuffling money efficiently. There's a lot about power imbalance and access that would be a whole other topic that make these stupid dollar computations meaningless in any effective sense.

> If pharma companies can't charge you in the ballpark of a lifetime's earnings

You're being downvoted because this just shows how completely fucked this worldview is when reducing everything to dollars and cents. Not only is it a completely anti-human worldview, it's only consistently applied by corporations when they want to get their profits out of the poor souls they help with their magnanimous, oh-so-arduous drug development processes. Because you can bet when the shoe is on the other foot, and corporations fuck the environment and poor people en masse, nobody wants to do those calculations, because it would bankrupt whole industries (like coal and plastic manufacturers).
That's a physical product, that's proper stealing, is that!
