It is conjecture, because you're assuming there's no underlying deterministic theory of "everything" (quotes because such a theory would not necessarily help in understanding higher-level phenomenon). Such a theory is not yet ruled out.
No one has a right to have their mistakes hidden, though certainly we could talk about whether a merciful & forgiving society should forget because it's the right thing to do.
No. Provide some evidence that it's even transmissible one way or that it's transmissible the other. This is HN; have some pride in not passing around unfounded alarmist nonsense.

It was the responsibility of the FCC to have never allowed these devices to manufactured, but as typical they fell for the police exemption excuse. Now they'll be abused more and more.
This kind of surprised me: "This question was featured as an Information Security Question of the Week.

I feel a similar question on stackoverflow would quickly have been flagged as not constructive or something.
The first season of Miami Vice used a fake Ferrari Daytona. Ferrari got miffed about that, and offered them a real Ferrari Testarossa if they got rid of the fake Daytona. Hence, the characters blew up the Daytona and moved to the Testarossa.

It was a good year for Ferrari sales, too :-) The Testarossa was one of the stars of the show, and nobody minded it. Probably the best product placement ever!
your reasoning is a little lacking, but you make an important point to consider: we often expect price to signal value.

when making pricing decisions, "free" can be an important and effective marketing tool, but used indiscriminately, can just lead to market distortions and other unintended consequences (not sure vandalism is easily correlated in your example based on the evidence you present).
Some of their language is unfortunate but they pulled through with the sharing part. It is quite hard to share maths with others however. How can I share that feeling inside my brain algebraically closed fields give me?
I'm sure there are effects like that at play but I think more directly, the rich can afford to pay someone to study the system and make a personalized recommendation, while the poor simply can't afford the same caliber of help, if they're even able to afford help.

How is it any different than being a client of an accountant or lawyer? Or being an assistant to an executive?

Regardless, looking at the present, in my opinion having scribes available would provide a simple solution to a problem often bemoaned in medicine.
I think the point is that there is no clear reason System A must do more work than System B. Serious Datalog environments will identify strictly monotonic programs and execute them more efficiently (e.g. with racy asynchrony); they will identify linear recursion and partition work accordingly. They could identify programs corresponding to DannyBee's hypothetical purpose-build industrial winners and execute them using the exact same techniques, but apparently they don't.

I suspect the point of disagreement is

> Of course you might wish for a generic Datalog solver that you could run in a special mode where you promise that it will not encounter negation in the problem you give it. But that is then no longer a Datalog solver but a "well engineered purpose built solver".

which I don't think is correct. A Datalog solver with the property that it can run faster on certain classes of input is great; it is not "no longer a Datalog solver".
One of the best open source games I know. I had played this in a very early version, but it was still very immature. Apparently I can take a look inside now.

I think Europeans really overestimate how much revenue is derived from European customers. European CPMs are a fraction of American CPMs. Europeans purchase a fraction of the products that Americans do.

This is why the industry "forgets" it. It's not that attractive to a good candidate.

When the revenue is that small a percentage of the operating expense, I have to wonder what the incremental cost is of that revenue.

I suspect many people would rather do 10 interviews and then get 1 job they keep for a year+ compared to 2 interviews and a 50% chance the job that hire them, fires them in 30 days. But I could be wrong, mostly basing on what I would want.

I do think the impact of emotions on our thinking is understated, but I also think that focusing on this aspect is going at it backwards. A value system is necessary for emotions, otherwise happy and sad mean nothing. I think this is what you mean when you talk about "modeling emotions". At the same time, some intelligence seems like a prerequisite as blindly following a value system will lead to massive hedonistic AI orgies. Er, I mean, an override mechanism is required, and intelligence is the best possible solution, so we're back at the fundamental problem. I think there is a lot more intelligence behind even our most primitive urges than we realize. Hope that made sense, typing on mobile.

Empiricism answers "how", philosophy asks "why". Mathematics is applied philosophy. Physics is applied math. Empiricism is used during the act of "applying".
Sure, but is such a school giving their child any actual advantage? They'll be in a foreign country taught by likely a lower quality teacher (esp. in US private schools, there is a reason our private teachers make $10k less a year).

The intuition that lotteries are substantially more fair than markets is a strange one. There are already lotteries that redistribute money. If we accept that random windfalls are the right way to allocate resources, why is it preferably to hand out million-dollar discounts on condos or school slots that confer millions-dollar lifetime earning bumps vs. simply writing million dollar checks? The check winner has strictly more options than the condo owner, who is deed-restricted on resale, or the school slot winner, who might prefer to retire early instead.

Lotteries get around unequal capability to spend, but so does the right tax policy or even an alternate currency scheme where you get non-tradable points to allocate across the various socialized axes of life. In a system with several independent lotteries, it’s possible to lose all of them, win the ones you don’t care about and lose the ones you do, or win them all. Allocating money gets you a kind of conservation effect: maybe you don’t care about school, so you got a nice house instead. Maybe the opposite. But with roughly the same spending capacity as everyone else, you definitely won’t win or lose big on all axes at once, and can make tradeoffs to win when it’s more important to you.
Well, not knowing where you are is not the same as feeling confused, in the same way as a wanderer who doesn't know where they are isn't necessary lost.

What I hear you saying can be seen as a gym analogy: no pain, no gain. The hidden part here is that gym rats actually enjoy the experience, whatever words you use to describe it, and for many others who are after the results it's merely painful.

If you are in grad school: in my opinion, graduate schools are supremely successful in sucking all the joy out of doing mathematics (and life). The whole system needs to be scrapped.

I agree that one should not avoid taking advice on math from someone who struggled with it - because, as you note, that's all of us.

However, I would not take advice on a subject from someone who's never really enjoyed doing it.
I think that all sources have biases, whether intentional or otherwise. You mention "big news channel" as an example of "fake news;" alternative news outlets can also be biased, but IMO the opinions can actually be a benefit so that you understand viewpoints not expressed in the establishment. On a related not, you could also read different (mainstream) news outlets from across the aisle and compare the different presentations of information.

That being said, I think that Reuters a lot less biased than a lot of other mainstream media. Although I couldn't find a source when a glimpsed at the Reuters news site, Wikipedia claims that Reuters has a "value-neutral" language policy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reuters#Policy_of_objective_la...
Telecom is a good example of an instance where the stairs are clearly blocked.

Cosmetology is a perfect example of where the stairs were clearly passable but we jumped anyway.

Taxi cabs are a good example of where its not necessarily obvious. Proceed with an abundance of caution.

My argument is that we cosmetology more than we telecom and we should head back the other way.
>the analytical approach will always outpace the empirical one.

It sounds like you're describing and empirical meta-approach: that we should pick the approach that goes the fastest. I'm not proposing that analysis be thrown away, just that it is and should be controlled by empiricism (at every meta-level). Essentially, I'm arguing that science applies to itself recursively: if you take empiricism as axiomatic, then science can "choose" its own philosophy, just like it chooses its theories: empirically.

>Also, there's a new and growing branch called "experimental philosophy" which includes experiments that test intuitions on philosophical questions.

In that vein, you could claim that all philosophy is empirical: An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals was plain evidence that Hume's brain had produced certain beliefs about morals. So, is philosophy of science an exploration of its namesake, or an exploration of the brains of philosophers of science? I say, whenever it has empirical grounding (in the success of science), it works like science and tells us things about how to do science, and when it's inwardly-focused it is just information about how philosophers' brains work.

>but also explanatory power

As far as I can tell, explanations are stories that make our brains feel comfortable with the procedures that we use to predict things. Why? Because perfect stories will be discarded without a second thought if another completely unpalatable theory comes along with better predictive power. Story-sentences about this stuff (for example, "the virtual particles pop in and out of existence in the vacuum") carry as much information about our brains as they do about the universe that they're supposedly describing.
It's quite easy for me.

I don't use any piece of shit like Google Analytics, or tracking services, so that's already a plus.

I don't collect anything I don't explictly need on my users, it's easier to manager, more secure and will make it easier to handle those new laws.

In my experience, searching for any English/American (or Russian) name turns up at least a dozen people with the same first and last names. If a name is extra generic like John Smith, I don't even bother searching because the task is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Although, people with an Anglo name do usually have middle names :) Maybe everyone should take up a generic name to disappear on the internet?

Between TFA, and this thread I remembered I needed to check up on my gaming buddy, I hadn't heard from him in a few months. He hadn't been answering his Steam chat, texts, nothing. After not getting any response, I did a little digging and came across his obituary and reached out to some common friends and confirmed the news.

I also found out, the reason he still shows as online is his coworkers found his Steam profile on a company desktop. They left it plugged in and online so he'd stay with us.

Rest in Peace, Dave.
No, not at all. More taking programming quizzes and never writing a single piece of code on your own ever isn't programming.

I might be touching a sacred pearl in these parts, but in many ways, the US start-up system incentivizes the wrong things, as you say, just getting an exit. A more valuable thing for people with capital to shoot for is sustained or long-term value (revenue is one of those things I guess).
I've done it many times. It's attractive if the offer is attractive. Last one I took was a $20k raise over the prior job. The one before that was a $30k raise. It's only risky if you're not confident in your skills.

The market is oblivious to what's going on. The population only gets to know what they hear from the news media (or their 'social networks'), the same media that's controlled by advertisers. The same advertisers who want to build the market to advance corporate interests. The "market" (and population) will do whatever they are told and privacy is seen as a force that prevents the market from thriving.
You can do real recursion sometimes, and real program flow. It does depend on CUDA version & chipset, but most modern ones support flow control. (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3644809/does-cuda-suppor...)

I think there are still cases where it won’t work right due to other libraries that might be involved, I’ve had recursion fail even on a new GPU with cuda 9.

Even if you can use recursion, it’s not usually a good idea since you’ll run into thread divergence problems.
Hey OP, I forgot to tell you:

Very happy to see this made public, the focus on data life-cycle management is a good one and it is actionable which makes it even better.

It's odd how you say this but then also write about WWII and japan later on.

Also I think you're making an arguement based on fallicies, the person you are responding to is referencing things happening currently. You are referencing things that happened in previous generations, aside from the first point which is valid though certainly a bit odd to compare to organ harvesting. Perhaps a better comparison would be to China's treatment of Tibetans and the US prison population. I'm not sure. I don't really care either way, just pointing out how stupid and pointless both of your arguments are.
I'm reminded of the long-form Wired article, "Writer Evan Ratliff Tried to Vanish: Here’s What Happened" (Ratliff 2009).

"Along the way they’d also proven my privacy to be a
modern fiction. It turns out that people — ordinary
people — really can gather an incredible dossier of facts
about you."

It turns out the public's short attention span has it's benefits,

"But a month later, life was back to normal and no one
was taking any interest."

I think there was some inevitable loss of nuance as that got translated into layman's terms.

For all practical purposes, you can write causality like

p(x|y) = 1 and time(y) < time(x)

I.e. causality is just when one event always happens after another event. Any additional requirements for causality are basically philosophy.

But typical ML systems don't construct networks of causal relations, is basically what he's getting at from my reading of it

The title of the article is literally "Lessons from My Math Degree That Have Nothing to Do with Math". Of course tedium and frustration are not end goals of mathematics. The author's point is not to e.g. explain the inspiration he felt when he gained intuition of Gauss's remarkable theorem. It's to explain the other side.

Lockhart's lament is thrown around here a lot around here, and it does make a valid criticism of math education. On the other hand, I think we're justified treating math differently than art. We tell students that math will be useful because it's true. Math teaches you that viewing problems more abstractly will make it possible to gain more insights into them, and math provides frameworks for making those insights. This skill takes practice. More than most skills, it's clear when you're doing it well, which makes practicing it all the more effective.

Math is beautiful, sometimes. I see this article saying the mundane parts are worth fighting through, too.
That's great, but totally non-responsive to the question.
At least they had some choice. Growing up, I had no choice and couldn’t go to an elementary school a block from my house because of race quotas and forced busing to a magnet school to improve their stats. 1.5 hours each way, 3 hours total each school day. I was up at 4:50a. I thank the social justice warriors whom used more discrimination instead of equity to ostensibly make things “better.” (Equity is fairer and more advantageous than equality because it’s customized and resourced equally, instead of one-sized-fits-some.)
companies like http://immotor.com/ are trying to solve that with swappable batteries that the user owns rather than the rental service.

interesting idea, but i haven't really thought through it to figure out if it makes more sense or not.

template <typename U>

I admit I'm not following all the new stuff that is added to C++. What are that two lines supposed to mean? I don't know what the U{}.func() and using x = decltype() constructs should mean or their names.

The names of these and links highly appreciated. Thanks.

Moreover, regarding the "bug": if "U" is actually special as an identifier (e.g. some predefined macro or something) it's a pity that the author hasn't investigated a little more. Even not knowing the meaning of the lines I've quoted, the symptoms look somewhat familiar to me with these "special behaviors" of identifiers.

Isn't there a lot going on already in insurance based on algorithms - and no explanation? I'm looking at scoring/rating... People getting a lower credit rating for living in the wrong neighborhood and other things, well that would at least be an identifiable reason, but I think that you cannot find out how exactly they arrived at your personal score? How transparent are banks and insurances for consumers, today?

Also on the HN frontpage right now is a link to a Guardian article "how to disappear from the internet", and the top comment in the forum there about his difficulties to deal with the results of identity theft, credit card debt, also shows a complete lack of transparency.
If they want to work in the US/UK/Switzerland? Or perhaps internationally more broadly? Probably. And I wouldn’t assume those private schools and their environment are giving a lower quality education.
Awesome. I look forward to browsing its code.

I implemented a Datalog engine in Java a while back. Looking back on it now there are a bunch of things I might have done differently, but I've never tried to implement anything like it before.

It's because scientific materialism can be used like a religion. It is arguably the most powerful religion in history.
Don’t know -all the major tech firms in the social media space tend to cluster around the belief that owning the whole network is the core source of value.

Matter of fact social dynamics end up putting massive pressure on any firm

This does not tend towards anything but scenarios where regulatory intervention is required.

Also -intervention is required in scenarios where products are known to subvert or pervert the normal decision making systems of humans - or create unintended side effects.

Cigarettes, gambling, addiction or health harming products come to mind. - but I suppose that’s under the umbrella of citizen health and safety.
