Why do you think that's a given? It seems like an implementation detail with a couple of easy solutions such as caching or batching, and it should encourage better system design in many cases where the analysis doesn't require PII and thus it's better from a security perspective not to have access to it there to begin with.

AI is kind of vague and catch-all these days, if you're talking about things like Siri/Amazon Echo/Alexa/... or even self-driving cars then I tend to agree with you, the actual "intelligence" of these systems is very limited. It can be very useful in specific applications but as you said they couldn't make you coffee unless you specifically program them to be able to make coffee.

If however we're talking about the Singularity where artificial human-level intelligence is produced then I think this will be a more important discovery than fire or agriculture in the history of humankind. That means that we'll have produced machines that are as good or even probably better than humans at basically anything, from making coffee to driving a truck to being a bank teller to being a software developer. If we reach this point where humanity is basically obsolete then what happens?

I don't think the Singularity is as close as some people make it to be, I know AI is super hype these days but we've had AI winters in the past and they could happen again. I do believe that it's undoubtedly going to happen sooner or later however, be it in a year, a decade or a century. When it happens what are we going to do? Will it be the beginning of a heavenly post-scarcity world where super-intelligent machines take care of all our needs, freeing us to write poetry and do some soul searching or will it create an incredible amount of instability as all of humanity suddenly realize that whatever they want to do they can ask a machine to do for them and better?

I have been using Microsoft OneNote for a little while and find that it is very powerful. I have tried a couple different setups of notebooks/sections and would like to hear how you approach your setup to see if there is a better configuration that promotes more consistent use.

So, what is your organizational strategy for using OneNote? How are you organizing your notebooks (subjects)? Are you using templates, section groups, etc? Integrating with other apps/systems? Tags? Workflow? Sharing? To Do management? Favorite tips/shortcuts?

Also, what has NOT worked for you using OneNote?

Show HN: [Paper] A decentralized reputation network with recommendation weights
I’ve been working on this idea. I’d love to get your candid opinion.

Torreum: A decentralized professional reputation network

Abstract: Research has shown that people's professional reputations are being fragmented and siloed by several online platforms. LinkedIn, for example, has built a so-called ‘walled garden’ and institutes legal action against entities trying to access it even when users have authorized such access. Networks like Uber, Upwork, and Airbnb, don’t allow their users to port recommendations they have earned to other services. Switching platforms is difficult. These actions can be said to reduce the socioeconomic mobility and freedom of people. This paper seeks to propose Torreum as a decentralized professional reputation network that enables people to build and use their curricula vitae and recommendations anywhere. Torreum adds the concept of recommendation weight, a PageRank-like link-analysis algorithm. Weighted recommendations come from people who have been recommended by others. They add trustworthiness and relevance to each individual. Recommendation weight is scarce. Torreum uses blockchain for decentralized access, integrity, and transparency. People authorize apps to add and read their data to and from the Torreum blockchain. In turn, apps use this data to improve, automate, and accelerate processes such as job matching, recruiting, lead scoring, career advice, and professional networking. Torreum may enable new functionalities over time, such as recommendations for limited interactions as well as new ways of networking. Ultimately, Torreum’s goal is not only to assist in the broader empowerment of people so they are in full control of their professional online reputations but also to contribute towards making work fulfilling for all.

While I am not in education, a large portion of my family is. My outside looking in perspective would tend to agree with all of your arguments, but a few counterpoints, I'd like to raise (based on my anecdotal evidence):
1. Teachers do not work 8 hour days. 10-12 hour days can be the norm, especially if extra hours outside of school are needed for student aid or mandatory administrative needs.
2. Teachers do have some administrative burden during the summer months, so technically, some work is done.

> People's reaction to their data being scooped up by Cambridge Analytica just because a facebook friend did a survey proves the need. What CA did was probably legal, but in most people's minds should not have been legal.

It's not _their_ data. This is the part that drives me nuts. When you give something to facebook, it's no longer yours and you loose control of it. It's like this for _everything_. That nude you send your SO? It's out of your control. That nude your SO took of you? It's even less in your control.

If you don't have a service agreement with someone, it's not your data. It will never be your data. Stop pretending.

It's dangerous to let people think they control data they hand to other people. They don't. They never will. Why perpetuate the illusion?
> All of their products, while undoubtedly groundbreaking

But that's not true. None of their products are groundbreaking. It's all decades old battery tech. What was revolutionary was musk's ability to brand old tech as new/hip and get the government to bail out and subsidize Tesla.

What tesla is great at is marketing and attaining government funding. Just like solar city.

> How will Tesla handle the pool of buyers for a $75,000 sedan and $900/mo lessees shrinking dramatically?

It'll go bankrupt or get a bailout.

https://techcrunch.com/2009/06/23/the-government-comes-throu...

People forget that we've already seen this movie before with TSLA. It was saved from bankruptcy by Obama. I doubt Trump will come to Musk's rescue.

Also, TSLA's biggest problem isn't a recession. Just like solar city's biggest problem wasn't a recession. It's low energy prices and removal of favorable government policies along with our love of large vehicles.

http://6abc.com/automotive/ford-getting-rid-of-all-its-cars-...

TSLA might be doing well in norway, but it's just a blip in the rest of europe, north america and china. It's a testament to musk that he is able to keep such a marginal and ineffective company in the spotlight day after day. The guy is truly one of the great marketers of our time.
Maybe there's a reason to put all that effort in to make a single, generic component but it leads to a list of 'if statements' to build up a set of styles where a lot of them are mutually exclusive - a button can't be both a Google style button and a Facebook style button - and the code doesn't have any checks for that.

It'd be a lot easier (not to mention likely faster) to build the styles in SCSS and just pass in a list of what's needed directly to the button's className prop as a string, eg className={"link lined google large"} with CSS rules for .link, .google, .lined, and .large that override styles from the previous class as necessary.

Life needs time to adapt, depending on its size (which is why almost nothing >25 kg survived the K-T event).

I have always wondered why Americans see their unions as so dysfunctional and harmful. I have never had problems with unions as en employer.

Then I learned that US has completely different union system from Europe.

You guys have so called enterprise-level bargaining with union shops and agency shops where workers must be part of an union or pay the fee for an union. Then union negotiates pay in enterprise-level. I can see how this is extremely harmful and entrepreneurs must fight tooth and nail against unionizing.

Most of the world has so called sector level bargaining. Unionized workers negotiate for all workers in an entire industry. Union representing electricians negotiates with federation representing companies that hire electricians. After they reach a deal that covers enough unionized workers the deal is extended to the whole industry. You essentially negotiate minimum wage per sector plus benefits.
>Meanwhile, in the real world, hardly anyone clicks on a banner ad ever. A perfectly polished targeted turd is still a turd.

Don't necessarily need to click on the ad. If a user sees an ad just once it's in their mind, somewhere. TV car ads are another case where they don't expect people to buy stuff based on the ad, because who in their right mind buys a new car based solely on an advert? The idea is to get the product in users' heads.

I've definitely been guilty of seeing products in banner ads then looking them up later, or letting them influence my future purchases almost unwittingly.

>gosh what the tech industry could accomplish with a union

Much less than it does now.

I've had odd jobs at union places. I know career workers in union-dominated industries.

We don't want it within 10 miles of tech.

A fun thought experiment I ask people to do that usually puts this one to bed:

Imagine the most useless, technically incompetent, lazy sack of flesh that you were unfortunate enough to share the title of "engineer" with(and office space too).

In a union, they'd be very nearly impossible to fire, and based on tenure would probably make more than most of their peers.

Multiply ^^ said scenario over multiple tech companies and a few thousand workers, and see what happens.

> I struggle to see how anyone that has or even seen someone with severe sleep deprivation can say this with a straight face.

One of the things that sleep disruption or deprivation can impair is the ability to judge one's own alertness. That's arguably one of the reasons that it contributes to so many harmful accidents. If sleep-deprived people consistently realized how messed up their heads were, they might take fewer risks and do things more slowly, but they often try to proceed as if they were fully functioning.

>> Since ATMs were introduced, the number of bank tellers in the US actually went up.

> Would be interesting to know the background here, because this is massively counterintuitive. My guesses would be population growth and the increased complexity of financial products.

With those things being automated, I guess banks had to find new ways to differentiate. Sales and relationship management are one of those domains that are highly difficult to automate and hence have a big potential for differentiation.

I see this all the time in related industries where firms are increasingly pushing towards “value added services” because they believe that those are difficult to replicate by competitors through machines (or otherwise). I believe the good news is that this will often indeed lead to higher capabilities and new products / services that people are interested to purchase (banks are maybe a bad example here)

The thing that Ada and its peers lack that Rust has already tackled is finding a strong foothold in OSS.

Given that most new developers these days seem to learn to program via OSS, and given that HN is largely OSS-focused, it's no surprise that Rust gets mentioned more.

I think you’ve misunderstood how GDPR works. If you handle the PII of a single EU data subject, then you are in scope for it, regardless of whether you intentionally solicit EU customers or not. Even a small restaurant or auto shop is likely to have a mailing list, or a CRM, or other records containing PII. It would be almost impossible to prove they don’t have a single piece of EU PII.

This does completely ignore the nature of risk, because it does not consider impact at all, which traditionally accounts for 50% of total magnitude. A SaaS company with 50 customers has to comply with exactly the same set of regulations as Google does, and faces €20,000,000 fines, regardless of the fact that the small company poses a quantifiably smaller risk to PII. There’s also an argument to be made that the small company is less likely to become the target of a sophisticated attack, as an adversary is much less likely to invest huge amounts of effort into breaching a small set of PII.
I think it's important to look at how many programs fall to risks like that. Where is the cutoff where we regulate the whole industry due to a very very small possibility of issue?

Food safety, for instance, can affect everyone because bacteria can be anywhere and a lapse in safety practices has a high chance of public sickness.

I do think some software should be regulated more than it is. Is GDPR the answer? I don't feel so.

It doesn't directly prevent insecure systems, but discouraging companies from storing information they don't need and transferring it on to third parties for whatever reason they feel like massively reduces most people's exposure to this risk.

OpenSSL was trying to use uninitialized memory to seed the PRNG in one of the calls. The fix silenced the warnings by removing (almost) all seeding of the PRNG, instead of just the uninitialized memory seeding.

To his credit, the patch author did attempt to ask the OpenSSL developers if the patch was doing things correctly. However, the developers apparently didn't watch their own mailing list, and this didn't come out until after the problems were made public and the developers were laughing about what a n00b the Debian contributor was.
