First of all, the system as described in the article is already effectively in place: once you get your green card, you have to wait 5 years (3 if it's through marriage) before you can naturalize. In that time - or more, if you don't apply immediately - you pay taxes etc, but you cannot vote.

It's even more amusing with non-citizens who aren't green card holders, because not only they still pay all the taxes, but they're denied most of the benefits those taxes fund (so e.g. you still pay social security on your wages, but you don't get to actually claim any payments when a citizen could).

So I don't think there's any insurmountable political obstacle here.

But even beyond that, "taxation without representation", as originally used, didn't actually mean voting rights per se. The complaint, rather, was the lack of anyone specifically representing the interests of the colonies, because they were basically arbitrarily assigned to districts in Britain proper for the purposes of parliamentary election. So not only colonials didn't vote, but their MP would typically never even set foot on the territory he supposedly represented... which is why it was pointed out that it's not really representation.

However, representation was not equated to vote - keep in mind that the original franchise wasn't even universal among white males. However, those that couldn't vote were still deemed to be represented, on the basis that they lived in the same district as the voters.

Even today this principle still applies: while only citizens vote, the number of congressional seats, electors etc is calculated on the basis of the entire state population as of the last census, which doesn't distinguish citizens and non-citizens. So areas with large non-naturalized immigrant populations effectively award more voting powers to their resident citizens to "represent" the rest of the district. And this practice was explicitly blessed as valid by the Supreme Court in Evenwel v. Abbott.

How do you propose cashing out? Your cronies aren’t going to want their wages in Bitcoin.

> I'm not spending MY 30k, I'm spending YOUR 30k

Practically speaking, if you steal my money it’s now your money. More money is better than less money. In any enterprise, criminal or legitimate, there are systemic incentives for maximising pay-out.

That's not what I'm say is it, and you present no actual argument against the analogy. Just an emotional reaction - a tell for cognitive dissonance.

The difference between open borders and visa control is simply this.

Do you believe that somebody should be able to walk into your house, sit down on the front sofa and demand Pringles, which you have to then provide.

Or do you believe that somebody should knock on your door first and ask if they can come in, you then invite them into the front room and offer them Pringles.

For the majority of poorer people whose outlook ties them to an area, not a profession, a country is seen as a sort of house share. And open borders fans are that annoying house mate who keeps bringing in new people without asking, and expecting everybody else to put up with them sleeping on the sofa.
Not a great analogy. Government bonds were never meant to be a currency. Bitcoin was advertised as a currency. Yet its adoption for that purpose, despite the massive network available for its propagation, has yet to materialize.

Probably the number one thing I have always hated about Java is its build tools. Maven has never really made any sense to me and I simply don't want to have to deal with XML in 2018. Gradle requires me to use a totally different programming language just to write configuration. Ant is somehow more confusing than Maven but less standardized (and is almost useless without Ivy). It's been a few years since I wrote any Java so maybe there is something newer and better, but I just can't bring myself to go back to the misery of reading through that shit just to get a project to compile.

With Go it feels like all you need is a dependency manager and maybe a Makefile for more complex builds.

Perhaps the comment was referencing a myriad of different factors which might affect relationships now that didn't exist in 2014? According to the World Happiness Report 2017, there is a trend which suggests Americans are growing less happy each year.

Also, there ARE objectively shit op amps that are old and crusty that pretty much nobody uses. I think it was the LM358 that basically had a broken output stage (class-B) that causes horrible output crossover distortion when you transition from sourcing to sinking current or vice versa.

http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/lm158-n.pdf

Page 13, Figure 16.

Q12 is a common emitter amplifier with an active load, that feeds directly into a class B output stage (pullup is a darlington with Q5 and Q6, and pulldown is Q13, with Q7 being a current limiter). I've never used this personally (for good reason) but I remember my mentors telling me this causes horrible CO distortion.
Am I right in guessing that this affects the filezilla client only (at least on Windows)? Virustotal gives the server a clean bill of health.

It gives the client a detection score of 7/67. This raises the question for me of what's considered an acceptable detection score on virustotal.

Before this I'd have looked at a score of 7 and concluded that as the great preponderance of opinion is that this file is fine, it's fine, probably.

Oh man, it's far from state of the art.

"New" op amp features:

- Crazy rail-to-rail input: some chips have onboard charge pumps to bias input stages such that you can input signals with common mode voltages far below and above the normal rails

- Rail-to-rail output: probably the lowest hanging fruit of the "new" features, but still pretty costly

- Stupidly high input impedance: 071 isn't completely blown out of the water but some of the new JFET opamps are nuts. I think there are like femptoamp class input currents these days.

- Stupidly low offset voltage: I'm not even talking about the auto-zero ones, just regular old op amps have amazing performance these days.

9 years is not very long for an emerging technology. AI has been around since the 60's. Arpanet was established in 1969. Electricity was relatively well understood in 1750 (we had batteries that could store electrical charge) but the electric lightbulb wasn't invented until more than 100 years later.

Bitcoin is very early, it's core infrastructure, it's going to take time to get established, and once it does get established it's going to change society as much as electricity did.
That's nuts

When I order an air purifier, amazon reminds me I might need to buy extra filters, stuff like that. many times i have ordered stuff from websites, and key components that make what i ordered useful were not part of the order.

In his podcast, he talks about that with Seth Rogen. Turns out that marihuana as well as alcohol induces sedation rather than sleep.

This causes the brain to withhold REM sleep until the sedative has worn off, then suddenly catches up. So lots of people report very vivid dreams at the end of the night.

Since the amount of REM sleep was less, the quality of the sleep is also lower (he said only half or so).
for people who are dying of starvation versus people who are being explicitly human-sacrificed, from their perspective do you think it particularly matters if they are dying from the neglect and sheer indifference of others, or from direct intentional malice?

i would argue that for those on the receiving end, the difference matters very little.

Do you imply that the only way of having a meaningful life when your job is mediocre is by creating a family? What about other recreational activities or hobbies? Somewhat anecdotally, I recall a grade school teacher that was single in her 50s but remained active within a large volunteer community supporting youth. She often discussed how her participation in this circle gave her life purpose.

Maybe the systemic issue is that people who are reaching their 30s often feel pressured by their social group to get married and thus believe their lives are meaningless without that ring or child validating its purpose.

For MOSFETs the story is about the same.

For the tree transistor horsemen (BJTs, MOSFETs, JFETs), they can all be fitted into similar transistor amplifier building blocks:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Transistor_amplifiers

You can put these things one after the another to get more complex behavior.

Roughly speaking, common collector/common drain amplifiers have a gain of approximately 1, but has low output impedance, which makes it suitable for driving big loads (like the outside world). Common emitter/common source amplifiers have high output impedance but tons of gain.

The classic op-amp topology is a differential amplifier (long-tailed pair, in the wikipedia template) feeding into a common emitter/source gain stage, then into a common collector/drain follower output stage.

To answer your last question, the output of the gain stage is the drain of the transistor, that feeds the gate of the common drain output stage transistor.

The gate is usually the input terminal, but sometimes the gate is at a fixed voltage and the drain is the input terminal (cascode-y circuits are like this, aka common base or common gate).

I'll quote Richard White's answer on Quora to the question "What was the worst thing your parents ever did to you?"

> Every day from as early as I can remember, they were clearly and obviously in love with each other. Even after 50 years of marriage they were still acting like two teenagers going steady. They always supported each other in everything they did or tried to do. They "had each other's backs" at all times.

> I have spent my life trying to find that same kind of relationship - and haven't been able to.

> They unknowingly set the bar too high, I guess.

Like Richard, my parents had an essentially perfect marriage for 18 years until my mother passed away from cancer. They never fought. Ever. They were truly each other's best friend. I guess as a kid I just assumed that all marriages were like that since I didn't grow up knowing otherwise.

My biggest dream in life had always been to have a marriage like theirs. My own marriage just passed the one year mark, and unfortunately it has been a disaster so far. I'm crushed in so many ways, and it's really just taken the spirit out of me. I hope we can fix it (with counseling) but I'm not sure if we can truly ever recover; I have too much resentment over what has been said and done to me at this point.

Ask HN: Is machine learning useful outside the few very common applications?
In theory, we can use machine learning to do a lot of cool things. However, I've seen a dearth of material on how real world problems are formulated in terms of machine learning problems.

Computer Vision is rapidly advancing as far as deep learning is concerned, and we can generally see a lot of applications there (medical, autonomous, etc.)

NLP has a different story. For example, I was researching how a support desk uses machine learning. They use that to classify tickets automatically to the right department. Useful? Somewhat. Revolutionary? I don't think so. [this was from MonkeyLearn's website, btw]

What are the kind of people I can connect with who are doing a lot of applicative work when it comes to machine learning and AI? I mean, focusing on real-world problems and then formulating them as an ML problem? Or are there resources that I could read?

Thanks!

> An immigrant will capture a much smaller share of the value they generate, otherwise why use them, than a native born citizen.

Why not use them, if they're more qualified?

The only reason why employers can fleece immigrants in US today, is because immigrants are effectively "locked in" - e.g. if you're on H1-B, you can't change employers without going through a bunch of paperwork; and if you get fired, they just kick you out of the country. Which, obviously, means that you can't negotiate from the same position of strength as a native. But remove those, and why do you think an immigrant would demand to be paid any less? We're not stupid.

"No crypto in it's current state is liquid enough for any serious moving of money"

It's more liquid than real estate, which is widely used for money laundering.
Well, if you're living paycheck to paycheck, it amounts to the same thing.

Regarding "if you are paying any income tax on income that you haven't yet spent, you're not doing it right"

I'm doubtful of this - if you live off capital, and you have no dividend paying stocks or bonds, isn't that unnecessarily risky? It seems like some assumptions are likely to be made, where you pre-plan your income according to your expected expenses, as opposed to selling shares of stock whenever you need money. Also, dividends or interest payments inherently provide a barometer of whether you're living beyond your means, assuming you're wealthy enough to live off of them.

> people of different physical regions are allowed to have unique local cultures.

Freedom of movement doesn't prevent anyone from choosing any culture that they see fit, though. No-one is "disallowing" anything. If cultures end up blending into one, it would be a natural, voluntary process. So why is it inherently bad? Because of the loss in diversity? But if we can't maintain diversity as a species without use of force (which is what restrictions on movement are - at some point you have to forcibly prevent people from moving to implement that), then it would seem that we don't consider it all that important.
There are some numbers right there in the article about that, including some examples with open borders (e.g. within EU).
Oddly enough, the people who are actually dying of starvation always seem to be located in Marxist countries rather than the evil capitalist Western countries. Just bad luck, I guess.
