> Let's play a game. You are in charge of a large pile of cash and want to make it grow by giving loans. Each day, two people apply, and you can give out one loan (you will have to rank the applicants). When people de-fraud you, you lose all of the loan. When people don't or can't pay you back, you lose all of the loan. When people pay back the loan, you make a little money.

Actually, many people, including me, played a similar game on Prosper.com (as it was many years ago, not the current version). I can assure you that the reality is unlike your false dichotomy of losing everything [1] versus making a little money.

Even non-performing loans (that were not fraudulent from the get-go or discharged in bankruptcy) aren't totally worthless [2], as there is a thriving business in junk debt, and, presumably, at least some payments were already made.

Interestingly, I still have pennies trickling in from there occasionally, presumably from people who couldn't pay before but now can and are doing so because they know the lenders were individuals and not a faceless corporation.

[1] Prosper had a fraud guarantee, but it was a bone of contention among early users that they did not sufficiently honor it and that they subsequently changed the platform to increase borrower anonymity, thereby increasing the ease/potential for fraud.

[2] How Prosper handled these was another bone of contention.

The Steppenwolf, by Herman Hesse. It's supposedly about the author himself in 1920s Germany, also about depression, existentialism, and recovery, in a surreal context.

Amatka by Karin Tidbeck. This short book had the strangest vibe. I guess I would describe the book as if the lovechild of P.K. Dick and Margaret Atwood went to a Nordic country, stayed for 20 years, all the while doing weird stuff with fish and a dictionary.

Despite my colorful synopsis, seriously, the book delved into language, its use, meaning, permanence, delivery, and evolution. Perfect for these crazy days in US politics.

Okay, I was assuming you had at least a little bit of familiarity with the field.

There are a lot of papers which cover this. Starting with a Google search on population density and fertility rate, without including "causes" in the search, the top academic results I get are:

The population density-fertility rate assumption was not made without evidence.
That is very impressive! I wonder if a WaveNet decoder could be built for phone calls, as those still sound awful. If it's possible to do this only on the decoder side you don't have to wait for your network to start supporting HD voice or VoLTE to get better quality audio!
Technically speaking you can build these things in Java. JNode is an OS written entirely in Java, including the drivers. You probably meant "drivers for linux/windows" though and yes, there it's not so useful.

You can also make shared libraries with Java these days. Look at SubstrateVM. It turns Java code into a .so file that doesn't depend on the JVM, compiled ahead of time, with a C API exported.

This article isn’t about HIPAA, it’s about GDPR. If CVS does not have stores in the EU, then they’re most likely in the clear. Under Recital 23 [1], in order for the GDPR to apply to any site, the site must “envisage” serving EU customers. It would be a stretch to argue that a website designed to help customers of a chain of stores that has no presence in the EU does in fact “envisage” serving EU customers.

I guess "This installer may include bundled offers." as a warning is not clear enough because it's not written in 72px red-colored bold text? Don't get me wrong, but, in my honest opinion, they make it clear on their own website that it includes bundled offers. I know many other open source projects that offer builds of their software for free, including "bundled offers", without any hint.

I'd be careful making assumptions about the reasons people don't agree with you.

Taking the grandparent comment: "Supposing this is true, does it matter, if the overall size of the pie increases? Isn't everyone better off? Would you rather the poor stay poor so that the rich don't get richer?"

I don't disagree with this point because I believe economics is a zero some game, I disagree with it because it's wrong (it takes "everyone being better off" for granted), and I will be on guard to oppose any other initiatives (say, open borders) suggested by a group that thinks like this.
> I think our skepticism of primary sources has gone way way way to far. Plutarch is ignored, because Roman. Cortez was ignored because Spanish. Do they have reason to exaggerate? Sure and they at times do.

When I think about that I have trouble with the idea that Cortez would have come up with THAT if he was trying to slander the Mesoamerican ruling class. As he would have had no cultural references to draw on.

> students should understand that these incidents were probably a big reason why Spain so quickly supplanted the Aztecs.

I keep thinking that to Mesoamerican peasants Catholicism was probably least offensive thing about the Spanish.

Yeah but look at the url that download the fonts. They contains trackers. These are hash keys, exchanging crafted informations about your browser and your current «position» on the Internet. These informations alone are enough to track everything in an unique manner.

Including machines, the same tests on identical machines doesn't match exactly, and there is many possible tests.

The unending spate of banking frauds, VW, Theranos, price fixing in the pharmaceutical sector, the opiod crisis, gerry mandering, widespread lobbying and political corruption seems to contradict your position.

To talk about 'western values' in the same context is dangerously close to bigotry and jingoism.

Debian 8.11 released
I don't know where you got your information from. It's half true. No, immigrants do not have abysmal rates of employment. The unemployment rate for foreign-born persons in the United States was 4.1 percent in 2017 compared to 4.4 percent for native-born persons (Dept of Labor, Labor Force Characteristics of Foreign-born Workers Summary).
Immigrants do use more entitlement than native-borns, but that's because immigrants tend to have more children. Given how low the fertility rate for native-borns is, the entitlement that immigrants use to bring up their children probably pays itself off once the children grow up and contribute to the economy.
Quick thoughts:

* Features page has more screenshots snippets

* Is pricing monthly? Doesn't say.

* A slightly more usable Free tier might entice more trial sign-ups.

* Another tier between Free and Candle would probably fit more freelancers and small teams.

Major misnomer. It sounds like a bunch of cloud servers were used to brute-force enigma, and then possible "solutions" were checked as valid german by an AI. The AI didn't break the code.

Also it probably would be trivial to write a non-ai that detects valid german (e.g. is every word german?). False positives would be easy to filter out.
A neighborhood optimizing for a 5 year old is very different than a neighborhood optimizing for a 15 year old. It makes sense that people set down roots in a child friendly suburb, and then their teens just deal with the fact that they live in a nice place that might be a bit boring. Parents deal with shuffling them around to whatever. It's really not a big deal. If I were uprooting the family when I had teens, okay, maybe urbanity is for us. Probably not though, because I'd rather deal with a bored surburban teenager than the safety and educational nightmare of American cities.

March of Dimes actually succeeded in its mission to eradicate polio, then was faced with either disbanding or coming up with a new mission. They went with the latter.

This is a rare success story. It is much more common for charities to essentially do counterproductive things that help keep the problem alive so they will continue to have a reason for being.

This is something I have learned to be incredibly leery of. Programs to "help the homeless" are often programs that help keep people stuck. If you really care, you should be aiming at policies that reduce the incidence of homelessness, preferably via prevention, rather than big feels squee-worthy approaches where you expect some pathetic soul to grovel and be effusively grateful while their life probably remains in the toilet.

Reporting back: the Apple Store Stanford was able to remove the key and clean underneath it. They said if it happens again they can replace the top case, but that this happens out of store and takes 3-5 business days. (They can apparently do this in-store as well, but if something goes wrong then they have to send it out to be taken care of. Also, it's no faster if they do it in-store, apparently).

They did not know whether the new program involved replacing keyboards with improved keyboards that might be less prone to these problems.

That's a strawman - I never claimed there was no corruption in the west. The Economist claims there's much less in the west than elsewhere and this is in fact the core of the entire article - the assumption that with open borders globally, corruption as a drag on the global economy would shrivel because everyone would move to much less corrupt places. That's where they get the 78 trillion dollar figure from.

And it's also the Economist that ponders the problem of what happens if the immigrants vote in an Islamist government (their solution: immigrants may never be allowed to vote, i.e. taxation without representation on a massive scale, which is hardly a western value).

Also, I'm not sure Theranos is a case of corruption. Seems more like a delusional founder who got in too deep and was eventually discovered and dealt with through the sorts of mechanisms (the free press, medical regulation) that is usually under the umbrella of "western values".

> Modern AI Breaks German Enigma Code in 13 Minutes

Please use the original title: "How 2,000 Droplets Broke the Enigma Code in 13 Minutes".

"Modern AI" has very little to do with the performance here. As the article states, the team worked 4 weeks and had 2,000 machines to run their code. Even brute-forcing would give you a performance close to that.

Quoting from the article:

> So for the AI to shine, we actually use 2,000 minions that do the tedious work. Everybody praises AI, but it's actually the minions that do the 99% of work. Life, right?
> The fact that more CO2 means more energy coming into the system is easy to work out

Not easy to work out that it'll be a problem. We've known that for 100 years haven't we? But people didn't seem to be sure it would be a disaster back then. Hell, even in the early 2000s when I was a science teacher, we'd get the kids to build little greenhouses and demonstrate the effect but the text book emphasized that "This is only a theory, and we're not sure what will happen with Earth.". Knowing the basic principle was obviously not sufficient to be sure of the outcome. If you don't work out the finer details, then you can only trust others with the "It's important, honestly it really is!" message.

I know I sound like an anti-climate change-ist but I'm really an anti-sheep-people-ist, skeptical of things that have signs of religious faith such as appeal to consensus, being certain of their claims, predicting doom on disbelievers, and insulting and silencing people for heretical speech or doubt, and proselytizing.
