As Jacques and me as well have said; that simply means panic and it is not needed. You maybe do not live in the EU but the letter of the law is not such a thing here as it might be in the US (and although punishment is harsher and often far harsher than it is here, US also looks at intent). The EU is not going to punish any company that has the intent to offer its users privacy under this law, but made some mistakes or forgot things. They made this especially vague simply because a) we know they are not going to blanket destroy all violators anyway (we have many crazy vague laws for many decades; no one cares) b) if someone is clearly violating (and I am looking at you, obfuscating user tracking ad companies who, until now, got around pervious regulations by moving servers to other countries and other tricks) they want to be able to enforce, no matter what. This is all very clearly based on user intent, not letter of the law. It might be incredibly hard for litigious country citizens to understand, but we have been living all our lives (and it differs per country as well) with this.
I agree that exit nodes are inherently bad and avoid it. but it is a good solution that is indeed akin to the utility HAM operators provide. I fail to see why it's not.
This is the kind of empathy that I think lots of people fail to have when it comes to sites with user-generated content. As another example, lots of people seem to think Facebook is negligent for failing to properly delineate between fake and real news articles or between organic political speech and propaganda. Purely from an engineering perspective, I just don't see how they could possibly do even an adequate, let alone a good job of that.
Not immoral, but the collateral and first order effects of millions of people losing their homes? Not great.

Pretty sure that Phi as you know it is largely being left. Argonne's Aurora exascale machine was suppose to be Xeon Phi, but it has been postponed till 2021 and will likely use some other tech. Also look at the top 500 list from late 2017. Trinity the NNSA computer at #7 is Phi based but only gets about 50% of theoretical peak.

I actually think Firefox OS would be a lot more viable if they tried to make it today. A lot of things are webapps or JavaScript apps, so app support might have been less of an issue.

There's also blockchain which exploded, leading to a lot more developers with good funding willing to work on and/or donate to efforts like FirefoxOS.

Hardware support, on the other hand...
When I was in high school I participated to the EEE project (Extreme Energy Events), which used various vapour chamber-like detectors scattered all around Italian schools to calculate the trajectories of muon showers produced by cosmic rays hitting the Earth's atmosphere. We used the trajectories to approximate where the cosmic ray hit the atmosphere. Turns out you have to take into account quite a lot of relativistic effects to get precise readings
That's okay, just throw the word artisan on it and charge a lot.
Most of the other answers you got were wrong.

Mortgage rates are, mostly, driven by the market. The Federal Reserve influences the Federal Funds Rate (they don't "set it"; they set a target and then manipulate the market by buying & selling to try to reach that target). The FFR is just for overnight lending between massive institutions.

If your intuition says "hey, the difference between overnight lending between banks and 30-year lending to people is massive!" Well...that's right.

In 2015 the Fed raised rates by 0.25% but mortgage rates went down by 0.50%. The complete opposite of what most of your replies claim should happen.

This is not exactly a mysterious surprise. The Federal Reserve themselves have mountains of research, policy notes, and blog posts showing that there is an often large disconnect between the very short-term rates that the Federal Reserve can manipulate and longer term rates.

Here's on recent one (from 2017) titled, appropriately enough, "The Fed Funds Rate's Impact on Other Interest Rates"[1].

(Most US mortgages are fixed interest for the life of the mortgage. Very few other countries have that luxury. If you get a variable rate in the US, then it would be like yours -- tied to something else but with a markup.)

Ask HN: How do I find an organization to take 55% of my education “startup”?
During the last 2 years, I joined the "play startup" club. I am very proud of where the project is. Our iOS app is not perfect, but it works very well. I have come to a point where I need to set it free (no cost) to give it a better chance to grow.

See this link for a quick picture of how the StudyCity iOS app works.

Currently, the missing pieces are not technical. The iOS app and coming Android app work great. The 2 missing pieces are marketing and having a couple of people to baby sit the servers periodically. I just started a new job and need 110% of my work time to be focused on my real job. Running StudyCity.org on the side is not realistic.

You do know that doesn't actually terminate anything, right?
I don't think that quite follows. When property values increase, so do rents. When rents increase, someone is getting priced out. That is, if you could buy before, maybe now you have to rent. But if you could only rent before...maybe now you can't even rent.
Absolutely, the thing is humans become habituated to repeated alerts.. even if you make a flashing red hazard symbol and have it audibly screaming at the driver, with enough false alarms it will delay our response over time, require us to look at the dashboard and interpret the message which burns precious seconds, coupled with slow human reaction time... 6 seconds will be tough to react within safely. We need proper autonomous controls doing their job safely without blaming us when then fail.
Really sad to read this. TB was (and still is) a huge inspiration for many of us. I have been following him for atleast 5 years and he has teached me lots of things about gaming and the gaming industry. This is a loss for everyone; his influence cannot be understated!
I'm confused by the website. The intro has a clear example that reads like natural language processing, but the FAQ goes out of the way to stress
that the language does not do NLP. At that stage it gets a bit ranty, vague and dense, and I kind of lost interest. Perhaps I'm not smart enough to get what they're trying to do. "Developing a domain-appropriate lexicon and phraseology". Is this a DSL? Regardless, I don't see this setting the world on fire.

It's interesting that they've called this paradigm Articulate Programming, because articulation of the domain is where the problem both starts and ends.

How many times have you worked in a company with staff who start off exasperated with how complex IT makes solving a business problem, only to be surprised at just how many details are in their day to day processes once you've spent time covering off all the edge cases and writing tests around exceptions.

Code becomes complicated because the domain it models is complicated. Hence the reason why a good engineer's most important skill is in gaining an understanding of the real world problem domain, and expressing that as code. And also why I'm not worried of AI taking my job any time soon.
I had to look up what 'end-to-end' means in regard to neural nets and machine learning. And the answer seems to differ slightly or very much with every webpage I hit.

Stack exchange says it means 'all classifiers are trained jointly', nvidia and quora seem more in line with what I assume it means in this project. 'No human input to training sets or results as part of learning' is that what this talks about?

Is it then, unsupervised learning?

Really cool project!

The original statement that I was replying to was:

The iPhone was always going to happen as soon as capacitive multitouch technology became feasible at the consumer level.

The LG Prada being a touch screen and therefore would have evolved into the iPhone is as unrealistic as thinking whatever the knock off touch screen phone that Sprint released in late 2007 was going to evolve into an iPhone.

Good. Home prices have been out of control.

Cheap money along with mortgage lenders have done nothing but push home prices to absurd levels. Local governments are complicit in this exploitation as property taxes rise/reset, giving them a skin in the game. The only suckers are the home owners, new and existing alike. They are being exploited by usury and repayment of an unreasonable debt on a home ,which without lender money would cost significantly less. Some long term residents are being priced out due to rising taxes. Remember, the home value gains aren’t realized until you sell whereas the interest payment and property taxes are each and every year. This dynamic is turbulent and bad for health and continuity of communities.

Car and student loans are similar. It’s not suprising that tuitions are out of control. Like with housing, the school administrators are complicit. Student loans are perhaps worse. One can’t default on a student loan but the rates are 6-7%+ nevertheless.

Securitization of debt in dwelling, education and transportation are just three examples of exploitation of the individual. The irony that some of this liquidity is your very own retirement funds is not lost on me. A self-feeding loop. One must work their entire life, often in misery to repay these absurd prices. For me this is enslavement. Ideals aside, this is reality. Such is the system and life. It’s survival. Having this perspective helps me refrain from being trapped and make sensible decisions.

What’s the justification for this premium on this debt?
“Umm, we provide liquidity to the very asset bubbles we create. We assume the risk of default on the loan which in reality Uncle Sam insures is against. Oh and also, we can use that money in one of the other markets that exist for us to exploit.”

Tell me again, what risk are these institutions really taking?

Much of the ISS was lifted by the most expensive launch system in history, the Space Shuttle. It cost nearly $40,000 per pound ($200B for 135 flights), probably $50,000+ in today’s dollars.

The Falcon Heavy is priced to lift cargo at less than $1,000 per pound, and can launch three times heavier payloads than the Shuttle. That would drop the nominal launch cost of the components for an ISS sized spacelab to under one billion dollars.

Space launch costs have already plummeted, and are poised to plummet even faster in the next decade. If the BFR is successful at full re-use (actually, it’s really if the BFS can be successfully reused often without costly refurbishing, as the BFR’s re-use is a straightforward repetition of the proven Falcon 9 approach), Elon’s crazy and bold claims of per-launch costs Of $5M are actually feasible.That would work out to something under $50 per pound, and the ISS components less than $50M to launch.

When full re-use occurs, it will be when launch costs start to converge near fuel costs, which are typically less than a half million dollars per flight.

One motivation for doing analytics/telemetry is being able to set optimal price points, etc.

For example, i f 80% of your user population uses your app daily, it is more attractive to switch to a subscription model than if most people use it very irregularly.
I guess I should rephrase - now is a good time compared to the foreseeable future? As in, next couple of years it will be a worse time.

I actually bought a house 5 years ago, and I really feel I totally lucked out. Back then though, the fear of rising interest rates scared me into buying. Like you, I don't expect those type of returns with any investment I make now... but I was thinking about diversifying my finances, and moving money away from stocks into property real estate.

I know that I'll have to be much more diligent about finding the right market/deal. I'm using Bigger Pockets at the moment which is quite an amazing resource. Thanks for pointing me to your site too.
"Single firm conduct" is not just "monopoly stuff". Dumping for example does not require a monopoly nor a willing partner. Additionally a company may not force resellers into a specific price regardless of whether they are a monopoly.

Personally I think mandatory app stores run afoul of exclusive dealing laws which do require a showing of market power to take force. The FTC had no problem enforcing this in the pipe fittings market [1] which has very healthy competition from china. A total monopoly is not required.

The phone selling business is not as clear cut as selling oranges at the market. There are deals with carriers and other infrastructure stake holders that cloud the view significantly.

I'm sorry but your essay didn't get much attention because it is not particularly written well. I'm not really sure what you are arguing here, except that Google is bad maybe? You aren't clearly arguing an specific thesis, and there are many non sequitur paragraphs that don't flow. Why are you talking about OpenJDK in an essay about Google Adsense? Or is the essay about Doubleclick BMP?

If the point of this essay is to provide an overview of the area, I am not sure you are well educated in this area. For example, most of doubleclick publishers dont do retargeted ads. They tend to do BMP only. You didn't mention programmatic at all. You don't talk about ad networks. Also you don't mention that Google has done a lot in the area of malware both on the web in general, and specifically has spent a lot of resources in getting malware off the ad network. This makes you seem disingenuous, because while Google isn't a fully "neutral" actor, they are overall a good citizen in the ad space. Ad targeting isn't inherently evil, a lot of ad targeting is geographically based -- in fact many people would probably argue that showing geographically inappropriate ads is even worse -- others are consumer segment (eg: women/men/age).

I would like to have a non-advertisement internet, but it appears that people are just unwilling to do so. Also we may be facing very real cognitive limits, studies on microtransaction fatigue have demonstrated that is not likely to be a successful mechanism for funding webpages -- people just can't make that many monetary decisions every day.

This was the scenario that I saw during the mortgage crash. People who would have to pay the bank tens of thousands of dollars in order to "sell" their house.
An underwater colony is far cheaper and more feasible than a moon colony. When people talk about exploring outer space, they should think about exploring the continental shelf and building colonies there rather than building colonies on another planet.
Exactly. That's how the "mortgage crisis" happened.

In such cases, "forgiven" debt is taxable as regular income in that year, which adds another layer of problems.

I think they're saying renters can move without taking a large loss, but owners generally can't, since they have to either sell at a loss, or rent out their property at a loss.

Agreed that it is quite plausible this won't cut housing prices - and may even raise them - contrary to what might be expected from basic econ.

This notably happened at the start of this year, where even though tax code changes made buying a house ~10% more expensive (relative to renting), housing prices kept riding, perhaps partially because existing owners also became more incentivized to hold because the code grandfathered in a $1M tax deduction.

Nonetheless, I think "havoc" will be minor. It already makes little sense to buy in the Bay Area (https://medium.com/@usaar33/why-you-shouldnt-buy-a-home-in-t...) - and that fact will just continue to be true.
Really sad news. He was an awesome and very talented guy. He was always one of the pillars of game reviews for me and my friends.
Some mortgages are not non-recourse, so you could be forced into bankruptcy. Either way, your credit is going to take a big hit, which may mean you're stuck wherever you moved to, since many landlords will avoid renting to people with recent forclosures or bankruptcies. (Probably a good idea to move before you default). A lot of people are uncomfortable defaulting on a debt if they have the ability to pay, even if it's the smartest move economically.
Yeah, the design is really great! The only thing that slightly (as slightly as one can imagine) put me off are the sharp corners on the "Side project collective" box, while everywhere else are those nice round corners. It may be just me, though, just my two cents.
> creating a system where you realize people are sharing their suicide on.

They should have planned for that pre-launch and had a plan in place to deal with users like that. When Live was launched, journalists asked Zuckerberg about this exact topic and he would not believe the Live platform would be used in that way. Of course murders and suicides were streamed on the platform and FB was yet again on the back foot.

They continue to make 'mistakes' in understanding human nature. FB plans for the optimistic usage when in reality, that is rarely the normal usage.

Reading comments here it seems that US house owners consider 3.5% low, is this correct? Article is locked for EU readers.

This just makes me even more scared about Swedens new normal that is 1.50% (1.00% after tax deduction). Today I even get offered 0.99% (0.70% after tax deduct).

What is currently "normal" rates in different regions in the world?
> When property values increase, so do rents.

Maybe, but probably not at the same rate.

Broadly speaking, rents are tied to incomes, house prices to the availability and cost of credit (i.e., interest rates). Average income places an upper bound on rents because renters can only pay rent from income (since no bank will lend you money to pay rent).

I'm currently benefiting from this phenomenon myself as I rent a house for ~$25k/year (in Melbourne, Australia). Buying that same house would cost me ~$45k/year.
One can’t make a reasonable argument that anything is “supposed” to be consumed by another creature. Eggs aren’t inherently meant to be eaten, yet many predators scavenge them and they happen to be a good food source.

The claim I often hear is that we shouldn’t drink milk because we didn’t evolve with it as a part of our diet, but that’s simply not how evolution works. At some point, every food source became a part of each animal’s diet and things went from there; it’s not as though all food sources were set in stone before Homo Sapiens came into existence.

No arguments from me on the zany claim that camel milk will cure stomach ailments, though.
