This International Entrepreneur Rule is the so-called "startup visa" that was introduced in 2016. It was practically tailormade for founders of YC companies.

Founders would qualify for a period of several years simply based on investment raised and amount of ownership in the company. Traditional visas are more oriented towards big corporations' needs and are not so easy to bend to fit startups (or so I hear -- I'm no sort of lawyer).

Sad to see it killed off, even though the writing was on the wall ever since November 2016.

"Give it examples that we consider moral"

That's a tall order, honestly. There's a lot of things in the current dominant SV philosophy that are fine and dandy and everybody thinks they agree with everybody else about them as long as everyone carefully agrees to not sit down and actually put numbers on the terms in question ("discrimination is bad!" "I agree!"), but when it comes time to write down concrete rules and provide concrete examples ("hiring a woman is 43.2% preferable to hiring a man; hiring an African American is 23.1% preferable to hiring a Chinese person") are going to make people squirm, and everyone involved in such a project is going to do everything in their power to avoid having to deal with the result.

I bet there's a number of people reading this post right now squirming and deeply, deeply tempted to hit that reply button and start haranguing me about those numbers and how dare I even think such things, as you've been trained to find someone to blame for any occurrence of such words and I'm the only apparent candidate. But I have no attachment to the numbers themselves and I pre-emptively acquiesce to any corrections you'd care to make to them, for the sake of argument. I expect a real model would use more complicated functions of more parameters, I just used simple percentages because they fit into text easily. But any algorithm must produce some sort of result that looks like that, and once you get ten people at a table looking at any given concrete instantiation of this "morality", 9.8 of them are not going to agree it's moral.

I cite the handful of articles we've even seen in peer-reviewed science journals, sometimes linked here on HN, which discuss the discriminatory aspects of this or that current ML system, while scrupulously avoiding answering the question of what exactly a "non-discriminatory" system actually is. It's one of those things that once you see it you can't unsee it. (And given that these papers are nominally mathematical papers by nominally "real scientists", if I were a reviewer I'd "no publish" these papers until they fix that oversight, because it isn't actually that useful to point out that an existing mathematical system fails to conform to a currently-not-existing mathematical standard.)
Please don't take HN further into political flamewar. There's no way this can end well.

Anyone know how it works? Currently messages are encrypted with the public key of every target device and dispatched directly to the device who decrypts it with keys in the hardware, but that means a new device which comes on won't be able to receive older messages.

Now that a new device can receive older messages, and assuming apple doesn't have the keys to your messages, who does the sending? Does one of your existing devices have to relay all the messages by downloading, decrypting, and re-encrypting for the target?

People don't find out about research by reading journals. They go to lectures and read mailing lists for that. Journal articles are typically a year too late.

Creator of said program here, I sent this to a very tiny segment of the waiting list. People in the waiting list will still get access to the beta - as stated in the email.

I'm sorry if you were offended by this in any way, and once again, you will still get access to the beta when it's your turn without having to become a patron.

It may just mean that nothing is stopping a person marking their account as a bot (maybe in jest) and posting with it manually.

Alternatively it may just be semantics. Are fictional characters "people"? Does "person" imply sentience, or can it still be used in the archaic Roman sense of the word -- a persona; literally: a mask worn by a stage actor. In which case, if the bot is designed to imitate personality, it may be more apt to refer to it as automated than as a non-person.

Yes, LXC (the author meant LXC for "LXE" I think; the ProxMox appliance believe currently uses KVM and LXC (Proxmox previously used OpenVZ for containers, but that (OpenVZ) has lost much of its Linux OS support)) has definitely been around longer than Docker. Docker originally used LXC as its container tech.

Protected or not, the defendant still have many out of pocket cost and distress for defending a lawsuit. Lawyers don’t care. They will get pay. The judge usually don’t read the case until the time of the trial but your expenses is up front and no guarantees of outcome.

It probably caused him some money, but it had caused me a lot of distress and time reading up the laws.

We use ProGet with npm, docker and nuget feeds. We only ever hit the internet when we install fresh dependencies. After that, they get cached on our local service for all developers and machines to consume. That, coupled with yarn itself, which caches dependencies locally as well so subsequent installs don't even go out to the network, has accelerated our build times considerably.
APNIC used that terminology in their analysis paper of 1.0.0.0/8, "1.0.0.0/8 has been assigned by IANA to APNIC on the 19th January 2010" [1]. To do this analysis, wouldn't they have had to advertise a route back in 2010?

I kept hearing raving reviews of "The Name of the Wind". I started reading it and got a couple of chapters in and had no interest in continuing. I mentioned this to my brother and he told me that I had to keep going. So I figured I'd read a bit more and see if there was anything to the book. I just finished it on Saturday and I have to say it is easily one of the best books I have ever read. But, if I had just read the first pages of the book I never would have been hooked.

With care you can calculate UTC independent of any time dilation. Local system is mostly irrelevant in terms of UTC and we already deal with systems with different clocks due to leap seconds.

Now you might care about communication lag, but nothing makes earth unique so you need to handle lag with arbitrary endpoints anyway.

If it's BS, call them on it with something along the lines of "We dispute the veracity of this claim. Further, the alleged conduct is a felony, so if the client genuinely believes their allegations, we encourage them to file a criminal complaint at their local police station." This conveys "client is a nut, we are professionals, and we can prove it" whereas arguing the details of a case with confidential info in a public forum is wildly unprofessional and sometimes illegal.

If you're taking nitpicks: some of your example calculations don't track units, like the ones on https://landgreen.github.io/physics/notes/momentum/1-intro/i.... I think they should: encouraging students to always track units in intermediate steps is really helpful for getting them to think about what they're doing and catch errors early, in my experience.
I see it less as a case of people believing themselves something (although that must happen some percentage of the time), and more as a subgroup deciding they want to claim a pronoun for themselves, for any number of reasons. Unfortunately, in their fight to claim that designation, there is often conflation of all objections to denying personal rights.

I'm not entirely sure where I come down on this issue, as most my exposure to it seems to come from representations by extremists on both sides. For my own part, the reasons I feel objection would be warranted are because of loss of accuracy in language. This is a good example of that, where one actor is specifically lobbying (whether genuinely or not) for the expansion of the term bot to mean (for all I can tell) to mean it's opposite. The current definition of the word (whether as 'bot' or 'robot') means that someone's ability to present a coherent argument that they are one in itself rules them out as one.

Journals are based on prestige; researchers give their work for free to a publisher where it is reviewed by other researchers (usually for free) and then published such that other researchers must pay to get the work. It does create a well respected system since publishers want only quality work but the arrangement has become more and more one sided favoring the publishers.

TL;DR This isn't that surprising. The cost of publishing is lower than ever and researchers are tired of getting charged for what they give away for free.
If you have two papers in NIPS every year then yes, your tenure at a big school or .com is assured and all is well. But that is less than the top 0.1% of active ml researchers, and also the most fashionable 0.1% as well. For the rest the impact factor is important in order to get another gig!

>> Wikipedia would be a useful tool for bootstrapping, but is clearly a tiny, tiny fraction of human knowledge.

I completely agree with you. Wikipedia would be just a start. Having an electronic library with high quality texts (and videos) from all areas would be even better. Whatever information they bring, it will be best if it's free to anyone and everyone there.
A lot of peer reviews in ML are currently completely open. For instance you can view the reviews for papers in previous and upcoming conferences here [0].

Also in terms of replicability ML is in a unique position where a lot of research is on standard datasets with models that don't take an excessive amount of compute power to train. This means that if the authors include a github link to their code you can fully replicate their results. So some "peer reviewed" ML papers can actually subscribe to your first description of peer reviewed.
