It's kind of a chicken or the egg situation on a long enough timeline. Unattainable housing combined with the fact that 40% of people in this country don't even have $400 in savings drives a lot of people out on the streets, and try being out on the street long-term without developing mental problems or a habit.

Color me skeptical, but it seems like such a system would eventually need to seek out a business model and would turn into mugshotsonline.us writ large. Or "toxic yelp reviews of dubious origin" but for humans instead of businesses. And with all the perverse incentives.

Censorship is bad, but profit-motivated society-wide forever-grudges against people in no significant position of power is also bad.
The F-106A That Flew Itself – After the Pilot Ejected, Landing Gently in a Field
The idea is generally to get to the point where minimal maintenance is necessary

The distributed ledger technology makes it easy to offload accounting and user management, which helps you quickly bootstrap the supply and demand side of a network much faster while coupling that with the capital you need or simply want.

These are typically catch-22 problems for other kinds of networks, VC backed or otherwise. It is dime a dozen in silicon valley to have a company that raised 10 million in a series A to barely have 10,000 users before ultimately closing the doors and giving nothing to its vested common stock employee/holders.

Not too much different with ICOs, except people get more than nothing and don't have to wait for it.

Homelessness as a problem always has to be scoped at the geographic level where freedom of movement exists. In the case of the USA, that's national.

The strongest predictors of homelessness are population density, walkability, and climate. Homeless people move to places that have those and away from places that don't. There's a theoretical case for provision of services driving homeless migration to the cities that provide services, but it's silly to imagine "progressive" policies generally being the reason why people are homeless. In San Francisco, if you're priced out of your home, you don't end up homeless for years on end; you need severe mental health issues or addiction to account for that. San Jose and San Diego are hardly wildly progressive, but they rank near the top on homeless population.

Superintelligence by Bostrom is a decent treatment of some ideas related to this.

Beyond that, there have been a number of stories in the news over the past few years that touch on various risks related to ML.

Things like: automated trading systems causing economic problems. Facial recognition systems not recognizing the faces of black employees. "Predictive policing" creating a "Minority Report" type environment. Etc.

I doubt there's any comprehensive list of "risks of machine learning" though, since there's not really a corresponding comprehensive catalog of "capabilities of machine learning".
Over 60% of macro papers published are empirical. Hell, that article you linked includes the phrase "carefully assembled evidence."

None of the things you mentioned are even close to AI. They’re applied statistics, and they mostly use techniques we’ve known about for decades but have only now found a use case because computing and storage is cheap enough to make them viable.
"San Francisco Restaurants Can’t Afford Waiters."

Uhhhh. No - that is really the wrong way to say it. There's a supply/demand mismatch obviously.

Clearly the wealthy residents of SF simply don't want to pay ... for some reason.

I think there is something sneaky going on - when I lived in SF, restaurant prices were disturbingly cheap. As a Canadian, I'm used to not very good prices. But in SF, I couldn't grasp it. I know that they employ a lot of undocumented labour, and I suggest this might have something to do with it - i.e. - a resto starts employing undocumented workers in the back simply to 'stay alive' - but then it forces other restaurants into the same competitive bind. And then they start moving into other jobs - forcing those layers of the value chain to have 'real wages' that are under minimum wage.

This is effectively what has happened in farming - and the same thing could be hitting restaurants - it's one of the more pernicious aspects of irregular immigration and employment.
From the article;

>And because of California labor laws, even tipped workers like servers earn at least the full minimum wage, unlike their peers in most other states.

So at least in San Francisco they're saving $15< per hour
>The irony is that not one of these bills itself as AI. It's just "a product that works"

If you need to use the term "AI" to enhance the marketability of the product it is probably because the product sucks.
Exactly, and how many want to be found, or find other species? Of those, how many are so far away that communication is a pointless enterprise? Not to mention that the more difficult and costly communication becomes with distance, the further out in time you are. All in all, using a ton of high tech and energy to say “hi” to us from 10,000 ly away and 10,000 years of time seems... weird. At 100,000ly it starts to be a really exotic proposition, and at a million ly you shouldn’t assume your message will even reach the same species.

Unless your fellow technological life is within a few hundred light years, communication of any kind starts to look like throwing messages in bottles. Of course the closer your target is, the less wistfully academic it is. If Proxima Centauri had a planet with a civilization like ours, you’d have to consider what they could do other than just talk. At that point, the issue switches from insane time scales rendering the whole process moot, to potential forms of dark forest detente.
In addition to being loaded with salt (despite the current trend of handwaving salt issues away, salt is a problem), they are often tenderized beyond recognition, have added preservatives, flavor enhancers, fat, and sugar. You might be OK with those things but it is absolutely not the same thing as a regular chicken you buy and cook yourself -- THOSE are the ones that contain just chicken.
That's a really good point. Discovering patterns and correlations is an actuary's only competency.

Clearly Heard is a nuclear advocate, yes, but AFAICT the criteria they chose aren't unreasonable.

This is my preferred method of service, not as a means of disparaging service industry workers (hell I still am to this day part time because I make one hell of an old fashioned #humblebrag) but rather in support of them.

One shouldn't feel like they have to go and figuratively grovel their patrons into a tip by showing up every three bites to ask if I need anything, just to walk out at the end of their shift feeling like they've earned something.

Poster comment here. I spent time in the banking/finance world where "Model Risk Management" is a huge thing. I think some of that can be used to think about the risks/controls. It focuses on all the things that can go wrong - a) model doesn't produce an expected result and b) model is used inappropriately.

So, they do things like, performing a model validation which includes rigorous qualitative and quantitative tests, setting limitations on use, testing the sensitivity to inputs and boundary conditions, among many others.

In the traditional sense, a machine learning model is a new beast. In most cases, these models don't have an agreed upon "methodology" (i.e. neural networks) and therefore don't have an "expected" result that can be tested (especially for unsupervised learning models). So, curious to know what others are thinking?

I ask people to make their own arguments because I think it's lazy to post things that even you don't understand. But if you want to me talk Krugman then okay:

Here’s an easy one: suppose that an industry generates negative environmental externalities that are not properly priced, and that international trade leads to an expansion of that industry in your country. Then that trade may indeed reduce national welfare

Okay so he admits that externalities can outweigh our more traditional views of gains from trade and then he moves on to state and refute a different argument.

The case for these tariffs is best going to be made through the externality argument though and tariffs/trade restrictions are an example where we believe externalities are outweighing our benefits. Seen through this lens common economic reasoning would tell us that a large improperly priced externality requires a tax to bring the item up to the proper price. In trade this tax is called a tariff and it's common sense to use it if you believe your country is being indirectly harmed by free trade.

Trump (but more probably his advisors) believe there are large external effects to having a strong technology industry at home in the 21st Century. Accordingly they are using tariffs and trade restrictions to maintain that.

One could do the same thing with other stuff too. Everything from bare metal to other application containers, and everything in between.

I do think that docker is very overhyped, but it does also solve some problems in a good way, even though it also creates new problems.
That's a complete strawman. Nobody is claiming that workers' rights should be limited so that employers can make more money.

People are claiming that workers' rights should be limited to the same extent that employers' rights are limited (i.e. that either party can end the relationship at any time and without any specific reason) so as to avoid giving excess power to one party or the other.

I'd normally recommend books like Google's SRE one, but at least in this case it glosses over the detail of where GFEs tend to live:

It used to be the case that they were mostly in POPs, but I think that with Maglev (https://research.google.com/pubs/pub44824.html) they can live in core clusters, too. Other Google sources go into more detail, e.g.

Back to your question, I'm not sure there is one good place to look up these things, but presentations/papers by companies like Google and Facebook are probably still your best bet. Stuff coming straight out of GCP teams will be a little more enthusiastic in tone, but that's easy to tune out. :-)

Another good example is Facebook's Ben Maurer and his Fail at Scale talk, which discusses a lot of details that are necessary for modern internet services, such as queuing, session/application-layer congestion control, canarying, advanced monitoring, etc. https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=2839461
> Every "Docker Considered Harmful" post I've read basically boils down to "Why would you use Docker if you can use the 10 technologies it wraps around and manage them yourself instead?" Why would I want to do that if I don't have to?

Or if you can't?

One feature driving Docker adoption that I think a lot of people miss is that it's got fairly workable (if warty in one case and obnoxious in the other) implementations for OS X and Windows. That removes a lot of friction for developers who work in companies where IT won't support Linux on employee workstations.

Sure, your ops team can put together a bunch of stuff manually. And then you can create a bunch of extra stuff that makes it easier for development to handle all of that inside virtual machines, and get the network bridging between those apps and the host machine working properly, and all that fun stuff. And by the time you've got it completed and working nicely, you'll be ready to launch your own Docker competitor onto the market.
There was perhaps even still is the idea out there to shave off some engineering time by ditching established principles engineers followed for the past 50 years.

Personally I think the idea for MongoDB is not that bad. It's just not one that works for business scenarios, where traditional principles are mandatory.

If you'd watched the segment, you'd realise there was a reason for it.

Specifically he used the segment to point out that Xi Jinping has more power and influence than almost anybody in China's history, that a personality cult has started to form around him, and that he is using that power in ways that has a wide range of long-term profound domestic and international consequences, including America's place in the World and perhaps even democracy's.

Yes, he used comedy. Yes, he referenced Winnie the Pooh and Xi Jinping's hatred of being likened to him. It's an entertainment show. The fact it is a comedy entertainment show doesn't make the point he makes any less true.

He had a point. He made it. China reacted to the point, not because it was a "random insult", but because if Chinese people watched that segment they may start to raise questions.

He was censored for the same reason that many other things questioning China's authoritarianism are banned from comments like this one I'm making here all the way through to many of the images at the top of this google search: https://www.google.com/search?q=tiananmen+square

Further, Oliver had used his show to make points about Trump, Obama, veterans, affordable healthcare, TV evangelists and a whole host of other social affairs using comedy to tell a story that would be hard to make entertaining using any other device. What exactly is your problem with that?

Just because you don't like his style of humour does not mean he is "randomly insulting people, countries or cultures for no apparent reason".

Also: next time, before throwing statements like that around, question whether you're doing it yourself. What _exactly_ were you hoping to achieve with this comment?
>The Bay is centrist at best.

If SF is centrist I want less than nothing to do with the whatever is left of it.

I'm sure if you want to pick and choose an issue to use as your measuring stick you will find that a substantial chunk of people in SF do not have a far left position on an issue when a far left of center position hurts them personally. However, justifying exceptions to the rule when the rule is not in your self interest is pretty common. Fiscal conservatives don't complain when the government pisses money away on things they like. Commies will gladly redistribute all the wealth that isn't their personal wealth. Few people are so dedicated to their beliefs that they advocate against their own self interest.

Edit: Is it the slight against SF or the observation about humanity that people don't like?

One could argue that self-defense is also an "intrinsic quality" of people and guns are the means to preserve that right. Of course, protecting the right to own guns wouldn't have been necessary if they were never invented. But once they were, restricting the right of the citizens to own them and giving the government monopoly on the capacity to use such force could be considered a violation of the "natural rights" of mankind.

That assumes metadata is irrelevant. The destination, time of day, and volume of the traffic all have value separately and especially so when together. The destination can be masked if you control both sides and AT&T is a go between, but timing issues are subject to analysis unless you are a large enough player to give safety in numbers or you push noise across your pipes.

The ability to "hold a job" is only tangentially related to the ability to "get back on your feet" while being homeless. Having no fixed address, no place to shower, no clean clothes, often having a criminal record (as a result of homelessness not true criminality - vagrancy, trespassing, ect) makes it very, very difficult for even otherwise capable people to get back on their feet and find (let alone hold) another job. Many people with a roof over their head and all the amenities of modern society are capable of holding a job (especially a menial one), but entirely incapable of pulling themselves out of dire straights.
Isn't operator overloading something else than the ability to define custom operators?
Considering an extreme example: for a car that can only do 1 trip then requires a day of recharge clearly the operator is losing out on a lot of potential revenue. That is a real cost and should be factored somewhere when comparing against another vehicle which can recharge quickly between trips.

Part of operation is the maintenance required to do the work and at the very least any time spent charging above the average alternative (refueling an ICE car) is losing the operator the average wages they'd have earned operation for that long.

It has to do with artificially low interest rates.

The Fed should have been bumping them up years ago, forcing liquidity into other parts of the system.

It would be better if there was a more natural way to set rates.

Also - it has to do with perpetually extending our visibility into our economic future, i.e. as loan times get longer and longer - the lenders win as housing prices go up.

If everyone had the same term mortgage, and it was fixed - this issue would not cause problems for for housing inflation.

But as we go collectively from 25 years to 50 years to 75 years ... well, housing prices go up.
Your first point alone would make Docker worth it for me if that was literally all it did. I've on-boarded junior devs on several projects over the last few years, and being able to give them pull access, send them the instructions for installing Docker and docker-compose and then having a working dev environment on their local device an hour after they open their computer for the first time is invaluable. The whole universe of tools that have grown up around Docker are also fantastic, but erasing the friction of starting up is a killer application on its own (also, making it so I never again have to hear "Well it works on my machine!" is also, on its own, worth pretty much any pain Docker brings).

And what I've seen is that at some point, at least a few of the junior devs get interested in what's going on under the hood and ta-da, we have our candidates for dev-ops work. Erasing the initial friction doesn't mean they erase their curiosity.
There sure is a lot of righteous indignation in this thread. I am eager to see the fallout of the imminent minimum wage increase (hopefully not too much human suffering). With the similar event that happened in Seattle recently, the initial government-funded study of the outcome came back with results favoring the conservative opinion. Naturally, the liberal local government quashed this study and performed another. Similarly, if you google "Seattle minimum wage study" the results are a mixed bag, and more informed by opinion than data.

Take everything you read with a grain of salt, and stick to first-hand data as much as possible.

Here is a good, minimally biased (although by a libertarian-leaning economist) synopsis of the initial results:
