The academic side of economics pushes towards norms like Math and Physics (that's what gets you prestige). AKA you come up with something like the Black-Scholes model and you've got yourself a Nobel Prize [1].

Which is cool, but skips over the aspects of economics related to unpredictable bags of meat buying things that are more like psychology/sociology and other "soft" sciences [2]

On that note: one thing I didn't see mentioned in the article or the discussion here was prediction markets. Prediction markets are interesting as its a meeting point of the two sides. "Think your model is better? put $50 in and we'll see in a month". I really wish they were more widely used/officially accepted, but the stigma of "betting" has pretty well killed them.

HOW ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE CAN–AND CAN'T–FIX FACEBOOK
The complete first edition can be found here: http://incompleteideas.net/book/ebook/the-book.html

If you're interested in some well documented C++ implementations of the algorithms shown in the book, feel free to check out https://github.com/Svalorzen/AI-Toolbox. I started the project because when I was first reading the book I had no reference implementation to compare the book to, and personally I learn better with practical examples, so maybe it can help you too.
You know, in a sense we're already taking better care of what we have already. There's less poverty than ever before, as an example. I think the major concern right now for humanity is that of global warming. We're definitely not taking care of our planet right now, and long term it's probably the most important challenge we've ever encountered.

Being multi-planetary is linked to that - not as a plan B but imagine how much it will boost scientific research. Any kind of outside earth research may benefit Earth in the end.

Fighting poverty and hunger is of course noble efforts too (and they have worked). They can perfectly co-exist with space exploration.

Don't upgrade until after renewing the subscription for next year.
> Most subscription software is a terrible deal in comparison.

This is actually my way of making decision to buy a subscription-based product. It must provide comparable service. Office 365 single user license costs around 70$/year. Now:

- Evernote is asking 60$/year. Seriously? One note is already offering same service with 1TB storage.

- Pocket is asking 45$/year. WTF? It is just a bookmarking service which is already offered by one note web clipper.

- Proton mail is asking 50$/year for 5GB mail box. Dude, Office 365 offers 50GB add-free mail box. However NSA is able to read your emails, which is not the problem here. At least MS is not selling my information to advertisers.

Other than streaming services, It is getting really difficult to find any subscription-based product that gets close to Office 365.
They sell you version at the time of purchase (fallback license) + access to updates, all accounted at the date of purchase. So when your subscription runs out in theory you could get old version then apply updates but you have no access so no updates for you.
Very pro-solar, but lost in all this is that people assume an astronomical amount of electricity use. Am I just odd?

In winter in SD (so no climate control needed) my electric bill was $12 a month. Solar's great and all but putting a 15kwh a month installation on the roof would be crazy.
"Take back"?
30k though is current price when installed separately. Currently solar panel + equip are already just 40% of the cost. When solar panel will be build into the design of the new construction and done by the contractor the installation cost will come down a lot. Plus as solar panel are in the design of the construction they could be better placed for optimal efficiency increasing the rate of return. My guess is by 2020 when it becomes mandatory it will actually cost maybe around 15k and save the owner a lot more over it's lifetime.

There are essentially infinite resources just in our solar system. Infinite power, infinite raw materials. The way to preserve the Earth is to use those resources rather than the life-dependent ones on Earth.

Instead of Yellowstone being a tiny patch of the Earth, expanding into the solar system will enable most of the Earth to be a nature preserve, while humans can be what we want to be.

Man I really wish we would get nuclear propulsion going again one of these days. Fine, fine, not as a launch system, just orbit to orbit... but we could move much larger, more dependable payloads so much further and not have to fiddle with little tweaks like these to surf the tiny margins of chemical propulsion.

It could have been a very mature technology by now. I feel like we created all the nightmares and quit the technology before we got to the actually good uses.
Hi! I'm new here!
TL;DR: MMT starts by saying that governments that manage their own currencies have unlimited spending ability – they can simply create money when they need it. And that's obviously true, to the extent that people are willing to accept that money in exchange for their goods and services (an extent which is not infinite). Then, building on that premise, MMT basically claims that nobody needs to get hurt when governments create money out of thin air. The explanations for this are pretty wonky and hard to follow, but they amount to saying that the theory generally predicts no harmful inflation of the currency.

Analysis: Hasn't mankind already concluded that governments can't just create and spend money boundlessly without harming the economy and the people who constitute it? I'm looking at Argentina, Venezuela and Zimbabwe right now, where the governments have each created money to finance their spending, and people are truly suffering as a result. And those are just some contemporary examples – human history offers many more, and they're quite consistent. If MMT doesn't predict inflation as a result of arbitrary creation of currency, then it seems we can conclude MMT is incorrect.

Radical alternative theory: Governments should be fiscally responsible, practicing balanced budgets and promoting currency stability. Outlandish, true. But it turns out that historically this has been a very winning formula. More efficient economies, less corrupt governments, fewer innocent people getting hurt.

I would contend that it's our failure of imagination to think that philanthropy is the only way to help humankind. I wrote about this a while back. [1] While charity sounds great in theory, donating a billion dollars more isn't going to help poor kids in Africa a whole lot, simply because they aren't suffering due to lack of money. It's rather due to corruption, instability of government, and lack of proper law enforcement that can allow them to grow. African nations have cumulatively received $1T in aid till now, how much of it did get translated into actual development?

Considering this, an investment in a promising technology sounds like a better deal.

I believe pg, pmarca and many of the others went from Reddit to HN to Twitter to more private lives.

If the question is "what site in early 2018 most resembles HN of 2006", I believe the answer is Indie Hackers. Its community is open, friendly, genuinely helpful and focused on business.

It's not quite the same since it takes more of a pro-bootstrapper stance, but then again the HN ethos used to be more tilted towards frugality and truly early-stage companies than it now is.

Things will undoubtedly change as they grow, but IH is arguably the finest place on the internet for entrepreneurs.

I control when I update my Kubuntu installation. And GNU/Linux updates are far less intrusive that Windows updates. Not enforces you to reboot the machine to apply it, and you can work at same time that you updates.

PD: This kind of fix, remember me to the times of Windows 95/98 when a full reinstall of Windows every few months was a good practice to keep the computer working nice. I don't have to do this on a Windows 7/8 or on a GNU/Linux. Why I need to do to this on Windows 10 ?
Cool, I’m sure that’s good advice!

You are right, anyway I think that people playing with a bandit machine are going to continue playing more time if they are getting a lot of money that if they are loosing money, so when people are involved in games there is a hidden state, the mental state of the player.

Ah right, I forgot about that! Not that Iraq was anywhere near an ice sheet, but it was a whole lot drier.

That used to be a working strategy. But now that ZTE was sanctioned by the US and almost crumbled overnight, it is obvious that the United States is capable and willing to throttle China on these "already substantial, but heading for decline things-that-matter markets". So China has no choice but to master the state-of-the-art of every important sector.

I'm strange as Italian, because I don't like pasta and I like eating pizza just once a month: anyhow it depends on what you put on pizzas. If it's a margherita, it's just tomato sauce and mozzarella on something like bread. If you start putting on it tons of fried potatoes, wurstels, sausages, half a kilo of mayonnaise, pork ribs, half beef and you drink 4 beers, then yes: you'd be better eat it even less than once an year.

To improve life quality I'd go swimming. It's doesn't make you lose kilos, but it does fit you: you move every part of your body in an ambient with low gravity (and it's a benediction for your back), makes you learn do breath the right way, and makes you relax as hell (depending on the style, ofc).

Quicksilver on macOS solved this by having a contextual "add weight" option for the results returned by Quicksilver. For me it's been one of the most intuitive solutions to this problem, where you can add incremental weight or just pile on +1000 to the result's weight to shoot it to the top.

For me (and relevant to TFA) this is what is often missing from such learning engines; an option to manually intervene when necessary. It's hubris to assume that the heuristics will always get it right, and I would have to imagine there's valuable data in seeing what manual corrections a User makes, so I'm not sure why it's not included more. A .conf file, the "add/remove" weight as mentioned before, just some way for the user to correct the heuristics when they get it wrong. And they will get it wrong, and frequently do.

> This is a delightful example of the flexibility of the human concept of money.

I don't agree. I see it as an example of a clear misuse of the word money. Just because they have value that doesn't mean they are money. Those stones aren't used as a payment method for goods and services any more than a sack of grain or bestowing an honorary title. Heck, they fail even the most basic characteristics of money: serving as a unit of account (each stone disk is valued differently and arbitrarily) and a store of value (their value varies with how it's used).
The benefit is that you can regret and reverse either decision in a few years.

There is a difference between paying for tools that bring value, and discretionary spending.

If I am paying for software that I use to be more efficient and increases my profits, I am OK with a subscription model, or whatever model is offered. This is, as long as the cost of the software is considerably lower than the value bump I get from using it.

With discretionary spending, it takes a lot for me to buy a subscription. If I spend more than X% of a given month consuming what that subscription provides, I will consider buying it. Otherwise, I am fine not consuming that particular service at all.

I subscribe to a few magazines and Spotify. I read content online from many sources, but will not buy a subscription to each one of them. None of them are valuable enough for me to subscribe.

If there was a way to pay, say $20 per month, and have a set of credits that I could redeem at Washington Post, The Economist, New York Times, Bloomberg, etc, on a per-article basis (I make the decision after the first paragraph or two) I would jump at that right away. The system would need to be very user friendly and almost friction-free.

I keep reading that people become aware of their own mortality in their 40s. Is this a common experience? I've been acutely aware, and terrified, of it since I can remember. If anything, I find that I have better emotional tools to manage this awareness now in my 40s than ever before.
Correct. We have also contributed to OpenMapTiles, and if you are interested in self-hosting and/or are very cost sensitive, we'd highly recommend checking them out (they also have very affordable hosting if you're just looking for the tiles).

We're also trying to offer value in other areas such as the design, and in additional services. Routing is obviously one of these, and we've got a few more services that that we're working on. We'll be announcing some of these later this year.
So agree with your design! It's simple, not boring and retro-like. Amazed!

I feel she is not describing being 40 she is describing being human.

It is very hard to filter out your experiences in regards to one aspect of yourself.

An example of this that i have found in my life is people taking a group they think they are a part of, Then assuming that they understand how everyone in that group thinks.

A common example of this being some men thinking they can talk for all men in general. Or some women talking like they understand how all other women think.

Well, they might be called "monsieur" in a French Cafe, but it is in the relation with youger ones that the difference arrives, even for men.

The tone used changes, so being a man and being called a "sir" with a different tone, followed by a different look , also makes you remind that you're over 40. Or when younger ones offer to help you (!) with a mobile (!!) or even how to open a door with one of those "security" mechanisms, like contact card or something like that (just because you tried to tap someplace and the sensor, actually, was 2 inches further to the left).

Those small punches of realitty, remembering that some people see you as some "old man" can be disturbing.
