NativeScript is pretty good. It can be used without a framework, or you can use it with Angular or Vue (and perhaps others). I used it with vanilla ES6 about a year ago for a side project. After finishing the project, I ported it to RN to compare the two. At the time, I felt that RN had the upper edge, because it could hot-reload updates more quickly. I suspect that the NativeScript team has made progress on that since then, though.
Game-theoretic concerns. You don't want to collapse the hierarchy of deterrance, otherwise you'll have "might as well murder them to hide the evidence of my previous crimes" situation. Additionally the difference in visibility and number of people who are in a theoretical position to commit theft vs. those who are in a position to withhold wages might have an impact since it's probably easier to go after the latter after the fact while you have to rely more on deterrence for the former.

I think AGI is actually an attractive but poorly defined goal post. First, human level intelligence (and intelligence in general) is poorly defined. Recommended reading on this is Gould's "Mismeasure of Man".

Second, when we "want" human minds in a possessive industrial sense, it is almost always for a small fraction of their capabilities. (Thank God our need to classify images does not seem to explicitly require servile machines with, say, the ability to love.)

When I was studying pre-deep learning statistical ML in the oughts, it was quite clear that the ML Renaissance was made possible by ignoring romantic ideas about human or expert level performance, and choosing operational criteria around improvement at specific tasks. People building PGMs or complex MCMc models rarely discussed whether larger versions of their models could think. Perhaps early uncertainty about how some DL methods worked opened the door to magical thinking about the possibilities of massive nets.

I think AGI should be thought of as an artistic or poetic interest, which can align with and comment on scientific progress, but is not actually part of the main research dialogue.

If you can't pay a fine as pinishment for robbing a bank, why can you do it for something like wage theft?

Robbery is a violent crime (robbery, by definition, consists of using force or threat of force/intimidation) that places members of the public in danger. For example, last month there was a Nigerian bank robbery last month where bank robbers armed with assault rifles and got into a gun battle with police officers that left 16 people dead. [1]

Now, you could make the argument that running around with an assault rifle and firing at people is its own crime, but when you walk into a bank and hand the teller a note that says "Give me all the money in the vault," you are stating by implication that you intend to do [very very bad thing] to them if they don't -- you are using the implied threat of violence. (By the same token, if you confront people in an alleyway and say "Hey buddy, give me your wallet," you can't defend yourself in court saying, "But I never threatened people with violence!" The threat of violence is implied by your demand.)

So, in your question, you ask why bank robbery (a violent crime) is a jailable offense, while wage theft (a white collar crime) isn't. I think there's a lot of support for the idea that "non-violent offenders don't belong in prison (but violent offenders do)."

It's the same reason that burglarizing your neighbor's house while they're on vacation is considered by most jurisdictions to be a less serious crime than mugging someone: robbers don't just victimize people by taking their money; they also threaten the victim's physical safety. I personally would feel much more rattled if I had $200 in cash taken from me at gunpoint than if I had a client stiff me for $500.

> then things like Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland (in the 1900s) was less about resistance to a tyrannical state, and much more about a population split 50/50ish who had hated each other for a few hundred years. British action there was far from exemplary, but had the people of Northern Ireland woken up one day to find they were part of the Republic of Ireland, precisely no problems would have been solved.
The answer seems obvious to me, and that is to have the workers be the investors themselves. In that way, the workers are also the bosses and can collectively decide their future and path forward.

Other ways separates the money from the labor. There will always be strife in that organization. Having a worker owned co-op also means that the profits don't go elsewhere - they go back to the people doing the labor.

Don't you think there's also a place for law enforcement? In California many public works projects are delayed because inspectors regularly come to the work site, stop all work for the day, and interview the laborers on the site to make sure they are getting paid. This is disruptive and the only reason they need to do it is because when they find wage theft they don't really prosecute it. There are small fines and then everything continues.

What the inspectors should do is give the contractors in question the figurative death penalty: permanently revoked contractor license, revocation of work orders, clawback of money already paid, jail time and serious fines for the individuals responsible. We for some reason have a high tolerance for white-collar crimes when we really should be prosecuting them vigorously.

> 60k should be about minimum wage in reality, and there's no reason why that can't be done except for greedy ceos and shareholders.

$60k is way beyond the minimum in most of the US. It’s a good living even in major cities like Atlanta. Also, paying $60k to all 125 million full time workers would basically eat up all US wage income. The income range would have to be $60-70k.

Bad analogy - in programming languages there's no wild animals waiting to attack, no pathogens in the waters. Your only enemy is the enemies you create in your codebase. And if you know what you're doing, C is as safe as C++. It's just that everyone learns the C++ way of thinking about problems, so they can't figure out how to do the same things in C.
I think that's entirely possible and likely to happen if not with Tesla than with some other proprietor. We've already seen something like this happen with a flight simulator (the proprietor indiscriminately distributed password-reading malware to all of their users as part of the standard install, and alleges that they only used the power of that malware against those who shared copies with others. Those users were smeared with the propaganda term "pirates"). It happens with each DRM story (for example: Neverwinter Nights 1 & 2, Microsoft Flight Simulator X, Swat 4, Sniper Elite, Hidden and Dangerous 2, Wings of War, Star Wars: Battlefront are no longer able to find and/or host multiplayer games. Proprietor, UK game developer Rebellion, tried to pass blame for this off onto their provider GLU Mobile instead of recognizing how they set the stage for this to happen early on by selling their users free software which would have allowed users to host their own multiplayer servers or pick another server).

I hope Tesla releases free software for all of the software in Tesla vehicles and thus frees Tesla car owners to protect themselves from precisely what you describe.

The only thing I think might play out differently: the proprietor won't be so forthcoming about why as you describe. The use of structurally abusive power (such as pulling people's purchased books from their eBook readers via DRM as was done with "1984") often happens with no explanation and some users are naive enough to not demand better.

That's the power of proprietary software and a big part of the practical reason why we should all value software freedom for its own sake, run free software systems, and champion software freedom to others.
There were two different kind of mosquitos mentioned in the article.

The one you are talking about are sterile males. All they do is compete with the unmodified wild males, and can depress the population. As the mutation isn't passed onto any future generations, new males have to be continuously released. I remember reading somewhere else that this is already done in some places ( but I can't remember where I read it, so don't quote me on that ).

The other kind mentioned in the article are non-sterile mosquitoes designed with a trait, and paired with another set of genes that cause almost all offspring to carry the same traits. I think the article mentioned around 95% of the first generation would carry the change.

Pair that with a trait that causes more children to be male then female, and the population could be suppressed by only releasing one batch of altered males.

To me it sounds like a really good idea, but as mentioned in the article, once released there wouldn't be any way to really control where it spread.
As human organization becomes more complex, the problem of keeping that organization coherent becomes harder. Large scale software system have been the way that organizations have found to solve some parts of this problem. But such systems become harder to change (even to make small changes) as the organization grows as well.

Thus it become necessary or desirable to create adaptive software (such as deep learning systems), that automatically deals with situations in a fashion that constructed or rule-based systems can't easily deal with (or when it would expensive to create such software or when the model isn't known).

Especially decision support seems to be important here - the parole rating program and medical diagnosis software systems, for example, aim to mobilize the huge bulk of data an organization (or all humanity) has to make proper decisions whereas any human making decisions here is going to have a limited viewpoint once the store of data reaches a certain size.

The problem of these systems still being fragile and difficult to maintain, however, means that the problem of increasing complexity still remains. So in a lot of ways, robust AI would be a hope for a way of prevent civilization from essentially collapsing under its own weight.

Whether this is realistic is another question.

This is not a small problem. Thinkers such as Joseph Tainter locate the tendency of civilizations to collapse in the tendency of specialize to increase and cease to be adaptive to a society.

Within a few decades of the French revolution half of the European governments were overthrown and replaced with constitutional Monarchies. The other half that resisted were forced into increasing totalitarianism and in a few more decades themselves overthrown in year zero revolutions.

The one country to avoid this, Britain, learned the lesson of the French Revolution. They maed enough reforms that there was no constituency for revolution.

This practice harms workers, denies them the wages they have rightfully earned and takes away time with families," said Susana Blanco, district director for the division in San Francisco.

People often conclude that we're secret sympathizers with their opponents, but since the opponents cover the spectrum, this logic refutes itself. The issue is rather that the online callout/shaming culture leads to degraded discussions and flamewars, as does ideological battle generally, regardless of how right people are or feel.

>The reason we are so hard on violent criminals isn't because they stole a small amount of money or property, it's because of the violence part.

We have laws against violent activities just the same as we have laws against theft. We don't need to stop violence indirectly by policing activities associated with it.

If it's only by blurring the lines between theft and violence that we can defend the focus on property theft over wage theft, that strikes me as implicit agreement with the basic argument made by the article.

Since hidden pillars are neither hazardous to anyone's health and also provide functional value, seems like they'd be just fine.

Er, Britain had been a constitutional monarchy for a long time before the French Revolution, and many of the others made reforms rather than being overthrown, and in many cases, like Britain, well before the French Revolution.

"Learn C in a weekend" (or afternoon) is akin to getting accustomed to a new model of car, _with prior driving experience_.

Each car has its own quirks, each programming language has its quirks. Learning C from the background of already knowing how to program is like driving a new Ford Focus off the lot and getting used to it.

Learning C++, on the other hand... is expecting you to pilot a jumbo jet after your only experience was the Ford Focus.
