When I tried to read about Allende's cybersyn all I could find are a few retro-futuristic furniture, but no meat whatsoever about the kind of software that was behind. It looked like pure PR to me. Do you have good sources about it? It has always intrigued me.

Personally I think it is very unlikely that the markets are close to the best approximation we can afford. The current market-making agents use limited intelligence on limited data. It is an efficient system in the sense that it beats randomness and it beats a central (human) intelligence with (allegedly) superior access to information.
Seconding this one. Database backed AMQP is very robust messaging system. Been using it for a while in production between two specific services, probably going to use it between all microservices in next release (currently using HTTP, haven't had any issues, but like the idea of not having to queue and otherwise manage requests -- to the degree required for HTTP).
In my opinion P = NP does not mean that. There still might be a big polynomial difference between verifying a solution and finding one.
I was reading straight from the document. I never said minimum either.

This is straight from Article 83 of GDPR:

Moreover the next fee level is: "20 000 000 EUR, or in the case of an undertaking, up to 4 % of the total worldwide annual turnover"

I despise money and I have more than I know what to do with. When the only bargaining chip for a company is one you don't value much negotiations become interesting.

I'd rather sit in a dark room and masturbate. Since I can't do that and still have food I have to work. Since it takes so long to not look like I crawled out of the sewer I need to work full time. Since I have to work full time and apparently I have valuable skills (other than masturbating) they have to pay me ridiculous amounts of money to keep me interested.

The people who are passionate about their work sound like they are convincing themselves very hard why getting paid so little is good for them. This includes pretty much all 'founders' I've known.

"There are still some of us who believe in peace as an end-goal for us humans"

I'm sorry, but I think in our current world historical evidence is stacked against you.

Humans are a political species. The ultimate form of political power within a specified region is to have the most capability for the violence within the region.

Hence, if a nation state would secede all capability for violence it would effectively yield the ultimate political power to someone else.

Within this framework a state needs some force projection capability within it's territory or it will sooner or later lose it's political power.

Projecting force outside of the nation states borders or using the force to subjugate it's own population is a different thing all together. You can have too much violence, but you can't really get rid of it with the current psychological configuration of the human species.

Working for military by building superior exo-skeletons and armor/weapons for soldiers as well as gear carrying robot-dogs is pretty okay if one realizes the need for military.

Then these soldiers go on site in another country risk their lives and take out specific bad guys without shooting too many bystanders.

You can then argue whether those were really bad guys and whether that specific operation needed to be carried out.

Building drones which are controlled remotely(or even worse by AI) to kill a wedding with kids where possibly a few people were the bad guys is NOT OK.

Drones facilitate political/military cop-outs.

For extra credit you can watch a few seasons of Homeland. Sure it is fiction but the issues are there.

To reiterate: even if you support working for military there is difference on what kind of weapons you work on
> "bringing" peace sounds like the military's purpose is to force outsiders who may be viewed as unpeaceful to adopt new culture which is viewed as more peaceful.

You mean exactly like US Military did in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria due to "terrorism" and in various Central/South American countries due to "communism"? Bush specifically supported US "bringing" (his words) peace and democracy to the Middle East.

This is not even the point. You're just reasoning very poorly. You found one "good" aspect of massive armies and then showed it as evidence of their non-evilness. But if you think more, you can see that massive armies can easily do bad to the world. The fact that they haven't done yet (which, they did) does not change this fact. If tomorrow US turns into the Fire Nation, you cannot stop it, I cannot stop it, no one can.

Then you can see if something weird is having a large effect on your score. Can you do something similar with ANNs?

You're entirely correct. A very ironic mistake/misunderstanding for the parent post to make.

Edit: I've thought about this a bit more, and you can save the parent post by prepending a result like "Every number larger than one is either prime, or divisible by a prime smaller than itself". In this case you can then assert that your constructed number is prime. However, this result requires its own proof and was not mentioned by the parent post.

It is question of ethics and values. Plenty of companies and people were totally fine profiting from holocaust.

US is killing thousands of people in countries we are not in war with with no trial.

In my opinion everyone in the world should have the same rights as us. Otherwise it is just hypocricy and we just live a huge lie.

How would anyone feel in America if somebody was killed without trial by foreign nation?

Also this behaviour long term is completely self defeating. Military wise nukes make everyone equal? Are we planning to keep nukes out of hands of our enemies for centuries or we just planning to kill everyone who is against our policies?

An oracle machine is usually a turing machine that can tell you things about other turing machines.

An example would be the Halting-Oracle, which can tell you if a program will halt or not without running it. (Of course, this oracle doesn't actually work since your program can have the oracle's output as input and simply do the opposite)

A NP/P Oracle might be an oracle that can tell you if a more efficient algorithm for your problem exists.

Such oracles can be setup to prove certain assumptions (or disprove) based on simply logical statements (see halting problem oracle above).

Oracle machines are also not really turing machines, it's usually assumed they can do the oracling in a single operation and they're usually a black magic box (there is no need to explain how they work, they're an abstract concept).

Is this a running joke or something? I've seen the misspelling of Ethereum several times now on hackernews and it's a tell-tale sign that the people talking about it haven't invested much time researching it or delving in to the space in any way.

> Given the regular and massive losses due to breakins, scams, and fraud, I have to wonder if this is the most efficient way to learn these lessons.

Where there is money changing hands, there are scams and fraud. The difference with crypto is that you can follow / track the money at all times. It doesn't mean you can get it back, but it does increase the chances that somewhere along the line the attacker will slip up and reveal themselves once they try to buy something or exit in to fiat currency.

The bottom line is that crypto exists because the banking system is perceived as broken by many. It's slow, expensive and corrupt as far as the average person on the street is concerned.

On the other hand, as a nurse my wife can relay stories going back to her earliest working days where more experienced medical personnel often had to step in to prevent a newly minted doctor from harming or potentially even killing a patient. I remember that giving oxygen was often the issue here, where the new doctors seemed to think that giving more oxygen was always better, but the nurses knew that giving too much oxygen can put a patient into crisis. (I forget why.) She hasn't mentioned this particular issue in ages now, though, so I guess these days medical schools are doing a better job here.
agreed, can't believe they even let it on the archive!
Okay, let's do it by having an analog.

You are given advice on how to safely cross a four-way intersection by two companies.

One is an insurance company specialised in people being run over by semi trucks at four way intersections.

The other is a contractor that designs, builds and maintains four way intersections for the government and private entities.

Of course, yes, the later could collude with the former to make extra money.

But it's also not their business model. They build intersections, people pay them to make those safe and reliable. People do not pay them to collude with shady insurance companies which try to kill people by semi truck.

People would actively not pay them if they did that.

Same with Cloudflare. If CF sold data to ad networks, a lot of websites would simply jump ship and use one of the other CDNs with free offerings. People pay CF a shitload of money for ensuring the connection is private and safe (notably banks, governments, etc.)

I'm a raver. Facebook Events is a game changer.

Alternatively to Next there is Reframe (https://github.com/reframejs/reframe)

- not a universal framework (you cannot create an app that has a static `/about` page but a dynamic `/search` page. With Next your app is either all static or all dynamic.)

Stealing Softwares Using Limited Liability Company?
Let's say if a con man starts an evil cop, Steal All LLC.
He then goes and pretends to be the seller/distributor of the stolen/cracked software and let's assume his con is soo good the customers do believe him.

Most likely, the affected parties will sue this company.
During the operation (let's assume it lasts 6 months before affected parties realize and start filing suit). During the operation, he lives like a king, spends lavishly.

What will happen at the end?
When lawsuit arrives, he can simply declare bankruptcy and start again.

As he used a Limited Liability Company, his personal assets are not at risk. Whatever salary he drew is his own along with the dividends. Not to mention the benefits offered by his company like chartered jets, business travels etc... These can't be taken away from him.

Why are people not doing this? Or are there other mechanisms to prevent this from happening?

It seems employees can simply steal IP/secrets and start an LLC, sell at a heavy discount, live like a king and simply declare bankruptcy at the end and start over?

Thus, this statement is dubious in the context of "wealth while you sleep".

> You deny a simple fact that the richer the person is, the easier it is for him to secure a loan on a more favorable terms than a poorer person.

No, that's exactly how it should be. Productivity increases reputation, which is rewarded by people betting on your future productivity.

Banks lend according to expected returns, of course they lend to those who can return. There is no other stable system of lending: it is always a bet on expected future productivity. Anything other than this would be self-destruction.

> Making money out of thin air does not count for producing anything, by the very definition.

The value of money is how productive an economy is. You can create money out of thin air (ALL MONEY IS), but you cannot create value-producing economic transactions out of thin air.

> this is purely a feature of the economic system where somebody can print and loan away money.

No that's tabloid economics used to justify prior resentment. Human history, and any system of production, follows power-law distributions. It hasnt anything at all to do with quantitative easing or finalization: these just, at worse, dilute the value of a currency.

> What is "evil" about working with the military or developing weapons?

Your lack of any morality doesn't cast a good light neither on you nor your employer, but at this point, I am not surprised anymore.

But in case you are actually honest, brief explanation - US military indeed has evil aspects, consistently, over last 60 years. Perspective changes vastly whether you live in US or not though. It's a emotionless machine that killed tens millions of innocent civilians for no good reason nor any clear victory (Vietnam, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan etc). In cold blood, for profit, political games that clearly achieved nothing apart from hundred of billions spent on military equipment that makes the owners of those companies very happy.

You can have US-centric view that any human life is worth next to nothing simply because he/she doesn't have a US passport. Well, we can and as a mankind should do better.

And google is willingly becoming part of this, just to have a bit of extra profit. 'Don't do evil' is indeed a very bad joke in this perspective. I am becoming done with that company for various reasons mentioned in this thread. I don't care how good the products are, I am never going to support it in any way. Simply because my money would contribute to this behavior. I know I am just a single customer, so are all the others.
