Thanks. I have a similar setup, with Edgerouter X and rpi running pi-hole. I hadn't realized what Edge route can run wireguard, thanks. I've been thinking about running VPN on the rpi since pihole barely uses any cpu but have been procrastinating, might have to take a relook.

Back when the internet got started, it was borderline if not illegal to put ads or other commercial information on it.

I am not supporting that, just saying that it is more complicated than so.
> China has fewer doctors and nurses per capita

That explains why the public spending on healthcare is less - less doctors/nurses per capita, together with far less pay for doctors/nurses. the 1.6 doctors per 1000 population vs 3.2 in OECD countries is not a surprise, Chinese doctors have for decades been forced to work much longer hours.

> As for the affordability of dental services, would you say that's an argument for deregulation and lowering of mandatory quality standards?

It is the complete opposite - the cost is so low because they got over-regulated. The mind set of the government is that "dental issues are usually not life threatening, it thus shouldn't be expensive", all charges by public hospitals are exclusively set by the Price Bureau (Yes, there is Price Bureau!) and dental costs are just stupidly low.

And the whole text is left justified... I'm appalled as well
While I'm not a fan of everything LaTeX with default layouts, this Word doc isn't very readable and the default design isn't helping.
On 1: That's exactly the point of this paper. That's what the EMH claims, and what this paper is linking to P=NP. If this paper is correct then markets are not violations of P=NP, and a lot of economists are wrong (or P=NP).

On 2: My answer to both problems (any problems) is Turing equivalence. If one algorithm of people and computers can solve the problem, then so can another one with the same resources. And given our knowledge of how different optimization algorithms can give results biased in different ways, it should be possible to find an algorithm that biases better towards equality than our current one.

But again that's a theoretical justification, which is why it's an interesting avenue of further research. I don't have any concrete answers because that would require research on the problem I haven't (and don't have the resources to) conduct(ed). And to make it quite clear, it's entirely possible the answer of this research could be markets are always the best (which would be disappointing, but possible), but it seems more likely that we would discover some new systems.

Edit: The economic calculation problem is the EMH rephrased (which this paper is making clear is a valid criticism only if P=NP). So that problem in specific is invalidated by this paper.

Edit 2: The principle agent problem is solved by the "equal number of people" component. And the fact that markets often involve selling other people's resources through their governments and other representatives anyway (see Saudi Arabia selling oil to enrich only their leaders on our open markets; while they use slaves), so it's not like markets are somehow a perfect solution to this problem as they currently stand.
Does this also mean if we can prove that markets are efficient then P = NP?
Interesting. It is well known in the high-frequency literature that at frequencies higher than 5-minute one obtains market microstructure noise. The observations you observe do not fully reflect the "true" price. I.e. you observe bid/ask quotes with a spread and the "true" price is somewhere in between. This is due to the bid-ask bounce and other latency factors. How can markets ever be efficient if we can not observe the true price of something?

Smart pointers guaranteeing memory safety is a meme that needs to die. If you exclusively use smart pointers and never use references, maybe it's true, but this precludes you from even using std::vector.
> with the obvious consequence of mass deaths of innocent people

So the drone program has a very ineffective targeting algorithm, one so bad it has absolutely catastrophic results, and we should be upset they've tried to hire the one company who spent the past two decades refining their world-class targeting algorithms? Nobody targets better than Google.

If we want to shut down the drone program, by all means I support that notion, call your legislators though I have a feeling with the current abomination of an administration in place, it's going to fall on deaf ears for a while. But in the meantime, while we are faced with the reality of a drone program, I'm elated to hear they might be getting some much needed help to stop killing innocents.
Major credit to Cloudflare for publishing a clear, honest, and detailed description of what happened. I wish more companies would do this.

One thing I’d be interested to know more about is why it took 17 minutes to fix. While you can and always should strive to make them less likely, outages are inevitable, so how you respond is crucial. Here the outage was very obviously caused by a deployment that I’d assume was supervised by humans – why did it take 17 minutes to roll back?
Like Porsche or Siemens did for the Nazis for example. Nothing wrong there. I wonder how you would feel and what you would say if you were on the other end of these weapons e.g an innocent Afghan civilian.

He’s making an enormous and baseless jump that any company that supplies the military must also be involved corruption and unethical war mongering. Just because an economic insentive exists, doesn’t mean people will exploit it. That’s just as senseless as saying that I’m probably a drug dealer because there’s an economic insentive for me to be. Aside from the complete lack of logic in this claim, it also doesn’t even make sense, since the military gets a budget every year, regardless of whether there’s a war to fight.

> ... you should support early, aggressive, global regulation of the military applications of AI and drones.

The history of global regulations on the military application of useful military technologies is not too impressive. The second a shooting war breaks out those rules will be forgotten, giving a huge head-start to anyone shady enough to ignore them wholesale.

"AI" has been used in war since WW2. Strapping an IED onto a quadcopter isn't a shocking idea, and the economics of 1000+ stealth-killer UAVs vs 1 not-that-stealth Navy Boat are pretty undeniable over time...

AIs and Drones are inevitably coming to warfare -- they're here already. Economic unions that make warfare unthinkable may be a better long term bet (thanks, Trump!).

> We leveled Hiroshima, we leveled Nagasaki, we fueled decades of animosity between the Soviets and the West that still plagues the world today

Mmmm that animosity was not created by bombing two Japanese cities, among many, with a new weapon type. That animosity was a freight train that could have kept WWII going another decade, and there was a real problem of how that war might look for our side had a resurgent Russia conquered Japan early in. They took Manchuria just a few days after the second bomb, IIRC, so their threat was far from hypothetical.

Those bombs were sending a clear and distinct message to the Soviets. It worked. I'd rather have animosity than a nuclear WWIII.

Google probably can't change that, at least not overnight.

The reason Google are experiencing leaks and taking flak for this is that it's only Google that ever claimed to be a superior moral actor. Amazon and Microsoft, for all their faults, never claimed to be much more than tech companies that want to make money - the extent of Microsoft's moral ambition was "computers are good, let's put a computer in every home", a goal which is hard to argue with given the attendant positive consequences of computing for society.

Google, on the other hand, has frequently made the following claims:

• It won't "be evil", whatever that means.

• It has an ethics board, for AI specifically.

• That it withdrew from the Chinese search market due to being unwilling to go along anymore with the government's censorship.

• That it "believes in the empowering and democratizing effect of putting information in the hands of everyone, everywhere"

• From its code of conduct, that "everything we do in connection with our work at Google will be, and should be, measured against the highest possible standards of ethical business conduct"

And I would say in general, having once been a part of it, that parts of Google's workforce are quite convinced of their own moral superiority. Look at the relentless feminist virtue circus around the firing of Damore, a man whose crime was merely to point out that men and women have different interests and that's why so many jobs have unbalanced ratios. The company's top management went on TV and said they were convinced firing him was the "right" thing to do.

Well you can't do all those things and then get upset when employees start leaking behaviour they feel to be unethical. Live by the sword, die by the sword.

Summary: Google gets shit for working on the drone strike program for money, because (a) it has more money than it knows what to do with already and (b) it has constantly claimed to be a new kind of tech company that is ethically superior to the previous generation. Other firms lack either (a) or (b) or both.

The whole point of this is that explanation isn't true. Productivity is not a conspiracy theory. 80% of the output is done by 20% of the people.

At some time t=0 advantages are randomly distributed. At t=1, those who happened to have them capitalized on them to increase their productivity (20%). At t=2, 20% of those increase. At t=3, 20% of those increased.

This happens without any corruption, "teats", "governments", and equally resentful conspiracies.

> Yes, I can name a restaurant that had really good food and went out of business

lol. That's not how it works. The business was successful. Certainly, if you put it intentionally under fire it is going to go under.

There are infinite ways to bankrupt successful businesses. The most common I saw/experienced was family businesses where the heirs could not agree to the terms and kept fighting.
There's a transaction cost in either direction.

If you buy a call option, the market-maker buys stock to hedge it. That moves the underlier, and raises the price of the call option he just sold. The reverse is true if you sell a call (or buy a put).

Not only that, but there is a cost for all the people and computers that your order touches as it gets executed.

Without price impact from transactions, markets can't be efficient, because new information has to get priced into the market somehow.

I'm not familiar with high-frequency literature, but you can rarely measure something with 100% accuracy. Despite this, your house got built even if its measurements were taken with a +-0.5cm error. So if the noise is sufficiently small, you can know the true price with enough precision. I don't know if that is the case though.
> When a war breaks loose, these data monsters are one of the best weapons against the opponents.

War and military research throughout history have done many good things for quality of life, even back to the days of Archimedes fearing the Roman invasions, when it is more about defense not offense. This here ARPA/DARPA decentralized network of the internet is one of those good things along with self-driving cars, wifi, even microwave ovens come from radar research...and many others.

But what could possibly go wrong when military/war artificial intelligence is combined with all your data and knows everything about you? We have seen Terminator and heard about Skynet. What if what it knows about you is wrong or spoofed?

The ramifications could be much less than worst case Skynet but you can plainly see the way Youtube automation is even just for copyright, you gotta ask yourself, will it get everything right? Will YOU be deemed an opponent and a 'bad guy'? When the machine does it there is also a level of liability taken away.

Defensive military/war tools are one thing and lots of good from bad throughout history, but when defense is pre-emptive offensive actions like drones, the line gets fuzzy. Are we Archimedes or the Roman soldier that killed him?
While I technically agree with your points, you and the author use different definitions of "markets are efficient".
Sounds a lot like Google is going to start killing people.

A recruitment startup that doesn't BS its customers
If you think a lack of quality neural networks is the reason the USA keeps killing innocent people and covering it up, I don't really know what to say to you.

The reason it keeps happening is because there are entire divisions of the military that are paid to drone strike people and nobody, at any level of the government, has the backbone or strength to say "enough is enough". They already had multi-billion dollar targeting efforts through the NSA, the world's largest and most sophisticated SIGINT operation. It didn't do anything, it just gave them the confidence they needed to pull the trigger more often.

The drone operators kill people because that is their job. Their kill rate will not go down because of a 20% DNN driven boost to image analysis algorithms. It will go up, because strikes on things that looked like terrorists but were actually empty houses, funny shaped rocks etc will go down, freeing up missiles to use more on actual people (their goal).

Calling legislators won't help. Obama claimed he would cancel the program, but was a phenomenally weak leader who was immediately manipulated into a consensus-quo "middle ground" position of, OK, we'll keep drone striking people, but I will personally approve each one: as if his decisions couldn't be completely determined by the people controlling his access to information!

Feels good but is useless.

Google has its own AI research operation that's not the same as DeepMind. But even if it didn't, all they'd have to do is wait for some third party academics to publish a paper that improved slightly on a DeepMind paper, and then they could use it and say the "technology" didn't come from DeepMind. After all, where does tech come from? Standing on the shoulders of giants and all that.

Also living in SE Asia on my case and I confirm that Facebook is much much bigger than in Europe there.

Facebook is clearly having a slow death in Europe, the real cut-off seems to be around the age of 30, the youngest, the less they are on Facebook. I wound not be surprised if the teens nowadays would not have any account at all.
> Telegram is prevalently used by Syrian fighters [1]. (Why they chose Telegram over Signal beats me.) As the Syrian conflict winds down, these fighters are returning home. That creates a security imperative for many governments, including in the EU.

BS. There is exactly 0 reasons why they should infringe on your rights. Remember that. 0 reasons.
Telegram is now implementing new sponsored Telegram proxies. This is a well designed system that motivates individuals and channel owners to provide proxies in exchange for promotion. So blocking updates prevents it from working and making Telegram less vulnerable.
FsharpConf 2018 – Videos up on Channel 9
Age restriction is sort of a self imposed thing. But on youtube you only have "18+" or "all".

Youtube expects you to rate your videos yourself, or you can get reported and they will do it for you.
Basically content that contains one of the following is supposed to be 18+ [1]:

* Vulgar language

* Violence and disturbing imagery

* Nudity and sexually suggestive content

* Portrayal of harmful or dangerous activities

Personally I put restriction when I upload game videos with graphic violence as that is not really suited for non adults imho. I'm less likely to put restriction on nudity and vulgar language although I don't swear myself in my videos.

The algorithms that take videos down due to "copyright" is already quite stupid, imagine it misclassifying your video as a terrorist video (or... an anti-Donald Trump, so anti-government...)

I'm not worried about Facebook or Google, because they spend millions on lawyers, but this seems potentially terrifying for startups. Any U.S. state can make a law making some part of their service illegal, and someone can sue the startup even if their company wasn't operating in that state. A startup would need to know and obey all laws in all states, and have enough money to fight legal cases.

I wonder if the golden age of startups is over. It would be impossible to navigate through these regulations if you just wanted to create a side project for fun.
