Yup pretty sure instagram will produce the next president.
FB produced Obama (thanks to Obama every politician on the planet got onto social media). Twitter produced Trump. And since attention spans to read text have gone down the tube, the Russians will have to start honing their fake image skills.
At the end of the day, all I want to see after Kim K gets elected, is Zuck back at a hearing explaining how fake images on Instagram are a thing nobody paid attention too cause why would we when it's doing so many positive things and keeping the company afloat.

Maybe those colleagues could just go work at the competitor if thats what interests them?

The fact that everyone doesn't feel like they'd like to work on AI military drones doesn't even mean that they are opposed to them in principle.

How is it not OK for a company to collectively decide that maybe, even though killing machines are going to exist, they would rather not be the ones working on them?
Well, measuring overhead isn't a great way to measure efficacy (trying to game this metric often leads to behaviors that are penny-wise and pound-foolish), but I don't find utilitarianism a compelling moral philosophy and really find the idea of trying to quantify how much good a charity does kind of silly.

This is completely incorrect. The four-stroke engine a car might get 30-35% efficiency whereas a combined-cycle natural gas powerplant can get 60% efficiency.

On top of that, natural gas burns very cleanly compared to gasoline or diesel.
Oh, oh. That doesn't sound good.
He also doesn't mention that vehicles will tend to charge overnight, and at that point the amount of electricity from fossil fuels is a lot lower.

As wind generation expands with falling costs, particularly offshore, that's likely to fall significantly within the lifetime of a vehicle bought today.

Also even if the carbon emissions are the same, there is a large benefit in shifting particulate matter and NOx pollution out of cities.
It's not. Except that the majority of the cards they issued are MasterCard.
For the quote of mine being referenced, I'm content with the dictionary.com definition of "special interest group":

http://www.dictionary.com/browse/special-interest-group

a body of persons, corporation, or industry that seeks or receives benefits or privileged treatment, especially through legislation.
Because it's better than doing nothing in the short term, and OSes can switch over as time moves on. Browsers have a much faster cadence and automatic updates (mostly).
Excellent comment. The real travesty to me personally as a person who grew up in India is: Governments in the US actually work. Sure there is corruption, super inflated infrastructure costs and waste, but for whatever reasons, shit gets done. If Texas were to have only slightly less libertarian policies, I believe a lot more services could be provided to a lot more people that need them.
I agree, the word "dongle" is fucking scandalous.
I don't know that I really need an app to give beggars money or buy the Spare Change News from someone.
If they change to ARM for Macbooks I'll never buy one again
Nobody is contesting that the conclusion is true, just that the proof is unsound as written.

Here you've introduced a definition of prime that is different than the usual one, and is in fact self-recursive. NSPIPF is "no smaller prime in prime factorization". What is the first "prime" in this definition? Is it a number such that there is "no smaller prime in prime factorization"? What is the second "prime" in that definition? Is that the usual "prime factorization", or is it an NSPIPF factorization? In other words, how would you prove that 2 is prime given the NSPIPF definition?

It is more natural to talk about primality as a test that can be done independent of any assumptions about other primes, but rather as a matter of whether it can be expressed as the multiple of some number other than 1 and itself. That way we can make a precise statement about the product of the finite set of primes plus one without reference to the set of primes.
I feel like when people talk about right to privacy they're often using a catch-all for several different concepts. There's a big difference between a right to anonymity and a right to be forgotten.

If you have a very strong right to anonymity, a right to be forgotten is less important because it's easier to separate yourself from your online identity. In fact, forgetting information is pretty harmful because anonymous systems need better tools for building and validating reputation.

If you have a strong right to be forgotten, anonymity is less important because you can just delete information you regret sharing. And similarly, anonymity is kind of harmful because you now need ways to validate who owns information and ways to control how it's spread.

EU seems to be less concerned with anonymity, and more concerned with managing and regulating information after it's already been created and shared. This also kind of rubs the anonymity crowd the wrong way because they've advocated for a while that information isn't necessarily something that you can own like property, and that the Internet should actually be far more immutable than it already is.
What contributions has MS made to git?
I have the same experience with XPS 13 9350. Coil whine is unbearable and that's one of its many issues.
There is enough just criticism of Microsoft's bad practices that remain damaging to this day.

So no, MS is clearly a bad steward for GitHub.
>The next time we mitigate 1.1.1.1 traffic, we will make sure there is a legitimate attack hitting us.

I fucking love these guys
I want to see how many of the drivers stating such things would still do a full stop at an empty intersection after having biked through it hundreds of times before and it's just one of the many such stops they have on their commute route every day. Basically I want to see statistics/studies. We may conclude then that it's not the fault of the individual if the large majority of us end up bending the rules

So, you're entitled to bend the rules, so long as enough other people are with you? Why don't you extrapolate the Kantian Imperative on that one? This is precisely why we can't have nice things. I guess we should just give up on trash cans, and everyone should just throw everything in the street.
Dear Google HN readers, “stiching” is misspelled in the second screenshot.
One thing I found about most laptops out there is Linux power management is not really great at least last time I tried. There is a perceivable difference in Windows power management and Linux unless the laptop is explicitly supported.
Depending on your ISP and/or country of origin, it can matter a lot.
Hopefully this doesn't become the same toxic hell stew that NextDoor can be....

This is negative value. The only reason the big companies host their source code on GitHub is because it's independent. They will stop doing that tomorrow if GitHub is acquired and it will lose all its value.
How is Windows Subsytem for Linux these days?

Windows has plenty of warts that I doubt WSL will resolve (can't delete open files, spectacular suicide if you use symlinks or junctions on system resources, different administrative abstractions and CLI tools, that sort of thing) but I might be willing to give it a spin if someone other than microsoft says nice things about it.
Apparently in a break from the usual, they've at least determined where they will get new revenue to pay for this.
I think that makes you an edge case. Apple are not building an ARM laptop to capture that 'people-who-refuse-to-own-intel-chips' market.
It is a metaphor that related to the technical aspects, instead of adhering to a social hierarchy.
>traffic lights, which require people to stop, press a button and wait a minute in an intersection with no traffic

You apparently don't live in an eastern US city like Boston or NY where people pretty routinely cross against the light if no one is coming (or even if they are) :-)
Google Is Said to Not Renew Pentagon Contract That Upset Employees
The common theme here is "concentrated benefits and diffuse costs".
From my understanding it's more of a "what's the most well known airport". Google LA is in Venice, so it's closest airport should be SMO, it's still referred to in corp speak and machine naming as LAX.
The secret of Innovation is to keep on trying and failing. Not everything is always a win. Midas touch is a fable, not reality.
If you're starting to talk about relative values and how one person values different things than another, who could disagree? But then the argument for effective altruism starts to crumble.
Or IBM.
Apple Blocks Sites from Abusing HSTS Security Standard to Track Users
It's almost like "happiness" with who won one election is a gross oversimplification and fairly meaningless metric. Sounds like we're in agreement.
What on earth? Who benefits from that?
Or you can just have a car?

Why is not having a car an ideal for you? Why do you have to bike? Can't you just walk places?

I don't have a car because society is telling me to have a car. I have a car because it's faster to get places I want to go; it's damn hot in the summer; and it's great for carrying around purchases and the family.
Malicious backdoors in Ethereum Proxies
I'm not so sure. Even prosaic, current AI, can be very unpredictable. See this blog post http://aiweirdness.com/post/172894792687/when-algorithms-sur... , which is a somewhat more causal summary of this paper "The Surprising Creativity of Digital Evolution: A Collection of Anecdotes from the Evolutionary Computation and Artificial Life Research Communities" https://arxiv.org/abs/1803.03453v2

The authors of the paper explain a bunch of anecdotes when they wanted the AI to do one thing, but the measure they told it to optimise for wasn't actually what they intended, and so unexpected things happened.
In the talk, there's a parallel drawn between the nuclear industry 60 years ago and big data now, where the nuclear was originally touted as a miracle cure for everything, then disasters happened, then it never really got over the stigma despite its huge potential.

Society decided, for now, the upsides aren't worth the downsides.

Oil is another parallel where society is currently just at the point where we are starting to not value the upsides over the downsides.
I think we have a dilemma
Exactly. Doesn't require any server side work and you get built in anonymity across peers and for discovery.
You do realize that most of the top-tier machine learning researchers are among the thousands protesting DoD work.

There is more than enough work, money, and intellecutalism in bringing AI to medicine, safety, transportation, supply chain optimization, law, art, music, and many other applications.
I'm annoyed as hell that a US company is using the UK spelling of "neighborly".
If you aren't in the Union, it applies to you if either [1]:

(a) you are processing data of data subjects who are in the union related to the offering of goods or services to such data subjects, or

(b) you are processing data of data subjects who are in the union related to monitoring of their behavior as far as their behavior takes place within the Union.

If you can avoid both of these, then I believe you can pretty much ignore GDPR.

If you have "no interest in doing business in Europe", it should be easy to avoid falling under (a). Recital 23 [2] discusses what it means to be "related to the offering of goods or services" to data subjects in the Union.

It means that you have to envisage offering services to such people. The mere accessibility of your website to EU people, or having an email or other contact details in the EU, is insufficient to show such intent. If you offer your website in EU languages that are not generally used in your non-EU country, accept EU currencies, mention your EU customers on your site, and things like that, will strongly suggest you are offering them goods and services.

What monitoring of their behavior means is discussed in Recital 24 [3]. It basically means tracking a person for profiling or analyzing or predicting their personal preferences, behaviors and attitudes.

Most sites selling things to end users probably don't need to do any such behavioral monitoring. If you do, just do a geoip check and exclude EU IPs. If you aren't trying to do business in Europe you probably want to do that anyway, because EU visitors are just noise in your data.

Yeah, it seems like all the little stuff, bikes, ebikes, and electric scooters should Idaho stop.

Idaho stopping is really just a hacky manual substitute for electric assist and automatic stabilization wheels. It's one that has an unfortunate slippery slope built into it.
They already sort of do some checking of their location services with follow up queries in the Android Rewards app. I would swear a large percentage of stores/location it asks me if I have visited recently are stores that I have never heard of but it either thinks I visited or is doing some sort of sanity check to make sure I am answering honestly.
Are they public chargers? Or at they at school bus depots, and so on?
see, you snuck in an entirely legitimate and factually true criticism in there: they sell our data. let's unpack that for a minute so we can put this "facebook criticisms are unreasonable" meme into its grave.

there's nothing non-constructive about faulting their core business practice of stealing user data and selling it against their consent and often without their knowledge whatsoever. nobody would opt into any of it if there was not the carrot of a social network provided to people well before they understood the consequences.

criticizing FB in this way is a propositional statement: IF a company sells my data, THEN that company is undesirable for me to interact with. that is a 100% actionable piece of information for FB. there is no higher form of constructive criticism.

FB has all the information about what people don't like. it's their job to have the information.

they don't care what the users like, is the thing. they don't sell to you, you are their product.

so yeah, it isn't that the constructive criticism isn't out there. it's that they rely on not hearing it and not putting it into practice.
It does if you run it on hardware not bought with ubuntu in mind.

To be fair, that's true of MacOS and Windows too, but Ubuntu makes it easiest to try / think it might be a good idea.
Could be your router was hacked too...
In the two years I've been a home owner and on Nextdoor, the only feature I've noticed they introduced was ads.
At 100% zoom level, the type is not rendered with crisp edges. It looks as if someone had applied a mild gaussian blur. Only once you zoom in, the outlines are sharp as they should be.

I have this issue on a 2012 and 2015 MBP as well as on a MP 5.1. With the built in screens, Eizos and a NEC SV. The only thing thats common across all builds is the OS.

If you think you dont have this issue, compare the rendering of Preview.app at 100% with that of Acrobat.
When did users on this forum get so lazy they can't provide a citation when making potentially bogus claims? The burden of proof should always be on the person making a claim, not the person reading it.
The great thing about the consistently increasing price of natural gas generated electricity is that it makes the off grid green energy alternatives that much more attractive.

Your best bet will eventually be to just go off grid by installing solar on your roof and use it all up during the day by either using it (laundry, dishwashing in the morning, heat/cool the house to the ideal temperature in the late afternoon before you get home - i.e. thermal battery) or storing it.
Positive for Atlassian I guess.
You absolutely don't need an app to give homeless individuals money. But when I was homeless, I found that it was vastly more helpful for me if someone gave me a few bucks than if I had to stand in line for hours, fill out reams of paper, etc to try to get some assistance. I am happy to encourage any model that fosters a little more direct giving of this sort.

I am also looking to create a pilot program to try to help homeless individuals begin to develop an online income from the street as I did. Charity helps you survive another day, but you need an income of your own to get your life back and many programs seem to actively be against the idea of homeless people trying to work for a living. People seem to see it as cruel to expect them to. But earned income is the only real path out of dire poverty.
for the stock to tank that would imply investors only value their self driving technology, not the electric car sales/tech.

I would say it’s the opposite. If anything I would say their autopilot tech is weighing the stock down due to its constant liabilities.
IMO, the problem with AI risk funding isn't that it is 'wrong', per se. Instead it is that it is very speculative and not grounder in real world data, or measurable benefits that can be achieved TODAY.

The whole point of effective altruism is to be very ground in evidence based causes. IE, if I spend 10K on this cause, then it will definitely save X lived by next year.

AI risks can't be reduced to these kinds of numbers just yet.

It could still be true, we just don't have any evidence yet to prove it though.
Of course it is. It didn't go away because you don't use it.
Microsoft has been changing a lot. Embracing linux in their cloud offering, offering unix as a subsystem on Windows, open sourcing their work. Anyone who likens the current MSFT to anything resembling what it was in the 90s hasn't been paying attention to the current leadership.

To the contrary, the stupidity of the average TSA worker is such that it may encourage bad-actors. Having to deal with such buffoons on every flight make it very difficult to sustain the delusion that gov't security is competent. They'd be better off just having everyone pass before a HAL-esque camera that does nothing but give you the illusion that you are being examined by some incredibly competent agent behind the scenes.
Yes, but as others have mentioned, Trudeau's stated concerns were total B.S.
