Heh. I wonder if anyone has ever opened a bunch of PRs with bitcoin miners in them, just to see if they could get them to run on someone else's CI.
I think you are strongly agreeing with me. I am arguing that a less extreme inequality (more equal shares) will generate more activity and more wealth overall.
> Any human who speaks two languages fluently (which is not rare, looking at the world as a whole) can translate between them well.

No, sadly, that's not the case. A bilingual person may create a passable translation, in that they can keep the main gist and that all the important words in the original text will appear in the translated text in some form, but that does not automatically make it a "well-translated" text. They are frequently contorted, using syntaxes that hardly appear in any natural sentences, and riddled with useless or wrong pronouns.

A good translation requires more skill than just knowing the two languages.
Does it matter? Its probably way below the level of toxicity. The ld50 in rats is 5,600 mg/kg multiply that by 130 and that's close to 1 and 1/2 lbs you would need to ingest to get half of a lethal dose. So it'd take 3 lbs to kill you. A couple of specks of it in food in benign. I mean the ld50 of caffeine is 26 grams people. I don't see people complaining about caffeine killing us all. Stop it with the chemophobia.

This is interesting as it seems to compete with their Cloud TPU offering. If benchmarks hold up against this as they looked here: https://www.forbes.com/sites/moorinsights/2018/02/13/google-...

... then V100 would win every time. It offers:

- Proven/Familiar platform in CUDA.
- No specific cloud provider lockin
- Similar/Better $/performance on FP16 while maintaining FP24/32 as an option.

What am I missing?
Still the case in most of the 'developing' world.
> I don’t think skeptics and "deniers" should be considered equivalent.

You’re right in that they’re not equivalent, but often deniers (of any widely supported viewpoint) have learned to speak in terms of skepticism in order to deflect criticism of their denial. They say “oh, I’m a skeptic”, but provide the same stale arguments, and when those arguments are refuted (yet again), they don’t move their position one jot. They just retreat, and bring them up again at the next opportunity.

So no, they’re not the same, but plenty of people are suspicious of “skeptics”, having run into too many that don’t argue in good faith.
It's not - just don't use youtube.
Google, who owns Youtube, are distributors at best, and distributors who didn't come by their trade first hand.

They bought into it. They are pretenders who, for the first time in recorded history, are able to perform a massive product recall in the name of censorship without incurring backlash on a scale that would cause bankruptcy or riots.

To wish away all that context in the name of "digital" is a fool's errand.

He's managed to keep a high profile for a loooong time. I remember reading an article about him in 1983, about a game he made for the Commodore 64. The article spent more time talking about Lanier than talking about the game. This seemed a bit odd, because at that time, programmers frequently weren't even credited for their work.
I am particularly interested in the liability protection provided by an LLC (selling physical products).

How much legally grounded advice is provided as a part of the service about how to avoid activities that could make the corporate veil easier to pierce in the event of a lawsuit?

> It's life changing, if not life shattering.

Yep, that is exactly it. Eventually, we all lose ability in our bodies, if not from illness or injury, simply due to aging. And dealing with those changes is part of life. I don't envy someone being thrown into those changes in their youth... but there is more to recovery than just gaining your physical state. Moving forward with your life, and finding happiness and joy wherever you end up is a far more important goal.
I wonder how much of this is caused by the internet connection having crappy upload versus just having crappy WiFi.
Of course this is all anecdotal, but in my small German town in the 90s we did play soccer on the streets. Well, we also played in the backyards and gardens, but soccer generally played in the streets where I come from. It was a town of less than 3000 inhabitants of course, and we would clear the street about every 10 minutes when a car would come through.

I recently went back to visit my parents, and had to drive very slowly because a couple of children were playing on the streets in a neighboring village, so I guess it hasn't died out yet.

This shows the problem with capitalism's winner-takes-all ethic. In America the piles of old bikes are not built by corporations, but by mom-and-pop chop-shops and self-employed bike thieves, under the benevolent watch of the local police. Clearly that is a far more sustainable approach to bike sharing, and the role of local (organic?) bike thieves and fences helps keep the benefits in the community, instead of sucking up all the profits to monocle-wearing capitalists in far-off cities.

> Current Ai doesn't have any ideas about existing. That's something we'd have to add in to future AI ... isn't something that comes about from crunching large data sets

(note: I'm a roboticist who spends a lot of time thinking about long-term autonomy (how can a robot go for months and years without human intervention) so that gives you a sense of where I'm coming from. Since my original comment was more of a question, I'll expound a little more here.)

I wasn't really asking in the context of current AI, but 'true' AI as the parent was talking about. They drew a distinction between how humans learn and how a "true" AI might learn based on the goals of each, and I question the notion that a "true" AI wouldn't have a notion of survival.

I think you agree with me to some extent, based on your other comment:

> A robot might someday be a self. It would certainly be advantageous for robots to avoid damaging themselves, and being safe around other robots and humans (treating them as selves). But how we go about making robots self-aware, and more problematically, how they have experiences is something nobody knows how to do.

I agree. I believe a robot not only would benefit from the idea of "self", but that it's fundamental to their design. We've built algorithms for a long time that operate in a very limited way. Robots break that mold in a number of ways, foremost being they can move in their world, and even physically change it. Yet we're still insisting on building them the same way we build webapps or trading software.

There needs to be a notion of "inside" and "outside" just to implement things like collision avoidance. I think there will also be notions of "group" and "individual" as well as "self" and "other" and "community" as well if we're going to call robots intelligent, as we see these notions in other species we regard as intelligent (whales, dolphins, chimps, etc).

The question is, how do they get these concepts and what do they look like? I don't know. But I think they're essential, and I think they will be a barrier to AI if we keep treating them optional instead of innate parts of an intelligent creature.
PlantUML?
"Getting the correct behavior in the case of parallel components (note that this applies even to single-core systems, since dedicated hardware constructs can race with the CPU) is particularly tricky."

Heck, even if you emulate the documented performance perfectly, you can still suffer regression behavior if the existing program just happens to rely on misbehavior of the original hardware due to less tolerant exception handling, stricter memory alignment protections, etc. in the later deployment environment.

I've seen this a lot in memory misuse / misalignment when porting between various UNIX implementations. If your development environment just happens to forgive a lot of sloppiness (cough Solaris cough), misbehavior may only show up later on other platforms.

Again, it is not economics to not look at how it is spent, because the spending can be progressive or regressive.

You can have super progressive taxation and a wealth distribution from the poor to the rich, and a super regressive taxation that distributes from the rich to the poor.

I don't think they're calling that guy "a liar". I think they're looking at credible available data and concluding that 300k is not the current market rate for developers.

And keep in mind, I can do both things at once. While I don't buy it that the current market rate is 300k even in San Francisco, I am absolutely all ears. I would appreciate it greatly if you wrote in more detail about how I can get to this salary level. Since this is HN, I guess I'll just add this bit: no, I'm not looking for detail to pick apart and argue about. I would absolutely like to hear about how you've achieved this and believe that it isn't a remarkably difficult thing to do.
Facts, lies, or unproven?
We do lots of checks. Most of our code is C++ where we get a fair amount "free", and the few times where type checks get in the way they are easy to bypass in a natural way.
Unless you streamline the development and deployment environments, that is. You can just work in a VM, a chroot/jail, or probably use Docker (I haven't ever used it tho, thus not sure).

This is actually a very good point I didn't think about. By virtue of their size bigger companies tend to have higher stakes, which means less margin for error.

I do wonder though how there's still large failures at big companies: security breaches, legal problems, DOA product launches, etc. I guess egos and oversights are just hard to completely sideline.

I think the clock icon next to the entries they're complaining about means that it's surfacing them because the user had looked at those particular stores' search results before, and would likely want to revisit those search results.
That's so far from true. A "video hosting services" search away is >10 results, of which I recognize at least 3 as professional level excluding Youtube (Vimeo, Ooyala, and Wistia). They may not have the entire ecosystem around it, but you need to be a little specific if you want anything approaching a valid claim for "monopoly on video" _hosting_. If you're talking about traffic, that's a separate story and is only a sign they are generally providing a usable product.
Right, but I don't think many people expect machine translation to do better than that. And I don't think the ability to do good translations is quite as rare among bilinguals as you're making out. Even kids tend to be pretty good at it according to some research: https://web.stanford.edu/~hakuta/www/research/publications/(...

> They are frequently contorted, using syntaxes that hardly appear in any natural sentences, and riddled with useless or wrong pronouns.

I find it hard to believe that this is the case if the translator is a native speaker of the target language. I mean, I might do a bad job of translating a Spanish text to English (because my Spanish sucks), but my translation isn't going to be bad English, it's just going to be inaccurate.

Owners of LLCs and LLPs generally have "limited liability" with respect to their equity investment, meaning that they are only liable for the entity's debts to the extent of their investment.

The primary difference between an LLC and an LLP: an LLC must have at least one "general partner" who is fully liable for all of the LLP's debts in the event the LLP defaults.

Another major difference: until recently, law firms and accounting firms could be LLPs but not LLCs, due to malpractice liability concerns. Now that most bar associations and/or states require these firms to maintain malpractice insurance, many states allow law firms and accounting firms to be LLCs.
I'm surprised this comment is buried. Your answer is correct, and it's a fundamental economic principle.

We paid a lawyer to put together an OE for us at Latacora (we have 10-year vesting). I assumed it would be complicated, but, nope, it works pretty much the way it would in any company: you vest equity over time, and if you leave halfway through your vesting term, you keep half your equity.

The only LLC-specific wrinkle I think we ran into is that we had to spell out that vested equity wasn't equivalent to a pro-rata claim on profits or distributions. But that's like a a sentence or two.

Non-vesting Atlas LLCs are probably super useful for a bunch of different kinds of companies.

But I'll argue that a non-vesting structure is never appropriate for a multi-member startup.

I'm not picking on Atlas; lots of people DIY or even pay lawyers to put this stuff together and get it wrong. We got it wrong at Matasano. It was painful.

There was a time when I'd introduce people to 'Eliza'-type programs. Those programs stashed phrases typed in by users. When new users typed in a phrase, the programs would parrot back the stashed phrases ... based on really crude algo's, or even random selection.

Nonetheless, I watched people get really worked up about what the computer was 'saying'. Partly because of the sarcastic stuff people would say, partly because of their expectations about 'cybernetic brains'.

Now the 'Cyc'le is back. And people actually working on this really hard problem are not helped by dumb marketing.
Looks like it prioritized historical locations over nearby locations. The little clock icon usually represents a prior location that was selected.

“The relation between different classes (represented by a connecting line), makes up a class diagram.”

Taken from class diagrams. Not everything you need to know it seems. It misses multiplicity at least. (Didn’t read/scan more)

Also, did you really intend to have one-to-many for both client and account? Since you labeled owns. One client multiple accounts is ok for the sample. One account can have multiple owners (clients) in theory but for the introduction (audience is I guess the inexperienced) I would go with 1.
We have a couple linters. They all have a zero false positives policy. We have about 1 suppression per 2 million lines of code because of bugs in the linters we use - every one of the suppression was accepted as a bug by upstream before we suppressed it.

I know that there are lots of checks that would be useful that we are missing. However they are not worth looking at because every false positive destroys some trust, and soon they are not trusted even when they are right.
