> Just face it - you're automating a job. If your company succeeds, more people will become unemployed. That's not to say you shouldn't do it, but call it what it is and take responsibility.

I agree that the founder should be more straightforward. But take responsibility for what? As a business you don't have any moral or legal requirements to employ x people.

Getting rid of this menial jobs will push people to look to do other stuff. It's good for them and for the society. Flipping burgers like a machine all day long is not healthy.
There is no way that the genome encodes synaptic layouts to such a detail as to specify an algorithmic prior. At best it specifies, loosely, the generic architecture of how many neurons, how many layers, how tightly folded, and where the inputs (senses) connect. We develop the same algorithms because we all start with the same priors in largely the same gestational and early infant environments.
This still requires vendors to correctly mark up their products-- to a level of detail that handles all the local rate differences, and shopping carts to be retooled to store said classifications and pass them to whatever tax-calculation service you need. Not to mention paying for the service to query.

It's probably less of a problem for someone starting from zero, but I'd imagine there's a type of vendor that's a huge nightmare. The firm that basically said "we can sell anything we can get from our vendor", and stocked their cart with thousands of SKUs, many of which exist only as lines in CSV files so they may not even know what they are offhand. The cart was probably built in the Eisenhower administration so good luck extending it.

It would be interesting to see some states offer a "trade convenience for savings" model-- rather than try to navigate a maze of regional rates and product categories to decide if a widget is taxed at 8.2% or 8.3, just file a one-page form and charge everyone 8.5% on everything. Saying "pay us $50 per year more in taxes, rather than spend $50k and ongoing service subscriptions to optimize the rates down to the penny" is a pretty compelling argument.
For a free product, sure. But when you're signing a multi-year contract where money is changing hands, no way in hell would any customer accept that kind of clause in the contract.
In general, I agree that for avery complicated task that a machine intelligence performs far better than any human being, human-like reasoning might be just impossible. The logical formula might be too long to be reasonable to any human.

But from another side, current AI has a hard time to perform ordinary human reasoning at all. Those reasoning mostly contains a few logical clauses. Why?

Human like logic usually hide the common sense or context in other words. There is no absolute logic like FOL when we talk about human like logic. The traditional rule based AI system fails because of that.

On the other hand, deep learning are very strong at representing these hidden common sense and context. Look at the word2vec.

We now are at a point to combine these two approaches together not to build AlphaGo, but enable ordinary human like reasoning.

At least that is my hope.
100% agree on the importance of managing environmental queues!

This is my favorite ESPN documentary. It was so good. I met Bernie Kosar among a bunch of other athletes and celebrities during Super Bowl XXXI. I was working security. I had to walk him around for a few hours. He was a real nice guy. Real accommodating to all the fan request. Even the crazy ones. So when I saw him on the special I could see how he could be taken advantage of. He seemed like a guy who was too eager to please.
Hi, if this is your product, the best way to get the HN community to give you feedback is to post it with 'Show HN:' as the post title prefix, and then add the first comment with a brief explanation of your product. Click on 'Show' on the top bar to see how others do it.

However, HN is a meritocracy, so even doing that, you should accept that it still may not get any traction.

I largely agree, but it's not without its warts :) https://github.com/paf31/purescript-book/issues/99
You could still have N threads but only want M (M<N) CPUs. For example there are situations where the single threads are mostly I/O bound, but reducing the little CPU work they do allows you to pack more threads (and e.g. serve more clients) on the same number of CPUs.

Without restartable sequences, replacing per-thread data with per-CPU data had a trade-off: per-thread data can be accessed with less overhead, per-CPU data consumes less memory. Restartable sequences give you the best of both worlds.
It'd be good if some customers share the terms of the contract. That'll resolve a part of the discussion.
Sure, I will do that way. Sorry for putting it in wrong way.

Thanks a lot for the help.

Every company I apply to is told during the interview process that I will not work on military projects, and that I would probably leave the company if they chose to take on a military contract. If you have personal moral limits and you’re upfront about them then no-one is the worse off; I’ve yet to be turned down for a job over it and, somewhat the opposite, companies seem to appreciate frankness.

I think it would make a lot of sense to do this for food that wouldn't be cost effective today due to preparation costs. Open a restaurant that serves food no one else does because it would be too labor intensive.
Reminded me immediately of Ballers, and now I see the third season was released—thanks!
When I need more food I'll make another once off purchase. If the place that had lunch today has boarded up it's windows tomorrow I'll just eat somewhere else. If I bought that food from a supermarket it doesn't disappear from my pantry when the supermarket closes down.

My food supply is a self organising network that can route around any single point of failure. This is about as far removed from SaaS as you can get.
That is not a good structure for the acquisition, especially if you are on the hook for the shell. Quite often you have all of the responsibility to deal with shit hitting the fan but no resources or personnel to actually do it.
I've never had a chance to play with Rust yet. I'll definitely give it a shot someday

The comparison of Rust with Elm and F# in this article really clicked for me:

https://www.chriskrycho.com/2018/exploring-4-languages-start...

I always thought of Rust as similar to Go, but now I think more of it like an ML descendant with C'ish syntax.
There's more to it though, Rust is more low-level than languages in the ML family and can often provide the same abstractions without hight costs in performance.
Joe Howlett worked saving whales caught in fishing lines. Immediately after making a second cut (of fishing lines), the whale struck the kodiak with its fluke, which did something to Joe that killed him.

It is unclear from the article whether that second cut freed the whale, or what the whale was attempting to do with its fluke, and the article does not list a cause of death.

The title is answered in the two paragraphs beginning with "Joe took his place at the bow, standing ready with his gaff"

If people do not want a public organization to use facial recognition software, then energy should be directed towards that action of the public organization - not towards the vendors supplying the technology. They will get the technology whether or not Amazon or Google or whoever else provide it. The one and only thing that might stop this from happening is if our political representatives chose to take action against facial recognition. And as opposed to mass surveillance of digital communications, I think this is something that would have pull with the masses as well. People's faces being automatically processed and scanned is something much more visibly dystopic than the NSA archiving your digital communications.
True, but it'll protect you from the cheap knockoffs that are the subject of this article.

> this C/C++ carry-over inconsistency of manually-boxed types and non-Objects primitive types separated from Objects

C++ allows user-defined value types that will behave like fundamental types.

And it has raw pointers/references to them.

Among all, there was a user-defined value type invented: the shared pointer (which works kinda like a GC, or exactly like a GC if you implement it and throw RAII out of the window).

Java took only the fundamental types and a shared pointer. No wonder that there are some parts missing.

> That's a particularly unhelpful error, sorry about that. It usually means that Tridactyl can't access the native messenger. Did you install it with `:installnative`? What is the output of `:native`?

I did not, but now I have.

:fixamo now doesn't return any error but still doesn't work.

Adding "privacy.resistFingerprinting.block_mozAddonManager" manually and setting it to true did the job. Thanks!

So far I like Tridactyl, especially the useful commands, but since it seems to be incompatible with other addons that overwrite the NewTab page. I think I will have to disable it.

I also miss the smooth scrolling experience with j,k from VimiumFF, jumping lines like Tridactyl does makes me loose the point were I left of. I might check back how the progress is going tough.
I doubt Sublime is faster than vim. And I doubt it's faster than opening a new file in emacs which is always running on my system. It seems that your definition of "ANY other editor" is limited to bloatware like Atom, VS Code etc.
What you are saying is when your hired goon fails to steal your neighbours cows for you, the cops should do it for you. ATT has not bombed Sacramento to achieve this, they have achieved this fair and square the same way farmers have managed to get some water from the greedy politicians over last 5 years or the same way teachers union in California has managed to suck our blood. This language of "break them up" is a violent language of thugs and should not have a place on a civilised forum such as this. (Not to mention as Mr/s. Dang would inform you it is not good idea to start political fights. But he also happens to be selective and likely he will give you an upvote and the warning to me)

> 83% support equal access to content with net neutrality.

Does not matter. That is irrelevant. Most people voted for Hillary but Trump is the president. You have to look at the rules of the game. Are those 83% people willing to change their vote in favour of a pro-net-neutrality politician during elections ? If not then even if that number is 100% it is irrelevant.
I’m aware of your sarcasm but will reply at face value:

1) If your business depends on Internet access you shouldn’t pay for a residential plan. You need an SLA.

2) Natural disasters happen. Not having emergency drinking water is very naïve.

3) If your business depends on electricity you should also get business rate with SLA and maybe have a backup generator or two. Heck, I have a UPS just to not lose the 15 minutes of work that’s not automatically backed up.

4) Yes, get a weapon (preferably a gun) and at least know enough first-aid to be able to stop a bleeding. Keep an aspirin on hand in case of a heart attack. Know your emergency exits and evacuation plan. Make sure you have the mindset to leave all your possessions behind in a burning inferno.

All of the above used to be common sense before technology made us think we are immortal and entertainment distracted us from real world.
That is (obviously) the trick: the "acquirer" doesn't acquire the shell. And therefore is on the hook for nothing. Customers have contracts with a corporation with no assets and no employees.
I'm trying to suggest (perhaps badly) that formal models of logic modeling like LS / CS have an innate achilles heel (from what I've seen): either A) the knowledgebase is precise but tiny, and will remain so because it had to be meticulously hand crafted to comply with a formal semantic model, or B) the KB is representationally sloppy but big and scaleable, because it was populated automatically and informally (probabilistically), thereby forever limiting its amenability to precise models of reasoning. To wit, you may have your cake, but the morsel is so tiny you'll starve.

I think this tradeoff in quality vs quantity has been central to the inability of most Good Old Fashioned AI (GOFAI) formal symbolic methods to 1) scale up beyond toy academic clean-room problems (from the admittedly little I've seen of commercial LS/CS), as well as 2) support the flexibility and imprecision needed to deal with a messy ill-defined very big world with a seemingly unknowable number of unknowns.

It may be that this venerable yin v yang of knowledge modeling will forever bedevil AI. I don't have the sense that any techniques in the past 30 years have really made headway in breaking this log jam. Deep nets have just tilted the playing field in its favor, so long as we're willing to ignore fussy details like dependence, FOL, and causality.

It’s fairly common in so-called acquisitions of startups that the the acquirer never buys the company stock. This leaves annoying liabilities like existing contracts in the selling company which will be shut down. The buyer might purchase IP so that the company to be shut down can pay out their investors and old customers.

However that situation would usually never be described as an acquisition by the buyer. (The seller might put out an announcement that says “We’re proud to be joining FooGleZon, it’s been an amazing journey!”)

In Smyte’s case, Twitter PR does use the word “acquire”:
https://blog.twitter.com/official/en_us/topics/company/2018/...

That sounds like something else than an “amazing journey” non-acquisition. But IANAL, just speculating out loud.

ICE does not "criminalize immigrants" and can't do that. ICE ignores legal immigrants, as it should, and prosecutes illegal immigrants, according to laws passed by Congress. ICE is executive branch, it has no legislative powers and can't "criminalize" anything.

> Its the entrepreneurial spirit that drove them to compete

The iphone had to be better than blackberry to succeed. Blackberry set the bar for success in some way. In the absence of Blackberry Steve Jobs would have invented something like Blackberry.

Big government actually destroys competition and creates monopolies. This "break up companies" using anti-trust or whatever is complete nonsense. The very reason why Monsanto, ATT, Comcast are near monopolistic is because of the government regulations. I bet Zuckerberg will help government draft regulations that will kill competition in early stage and help him grow Facebook bigger.

Naive people generally fall for the lets use government to break large corporations because they do not understand the nature of people. There is so much money at stake here that it will always be easier to buy off politicians that will not allow the corporation to break off. (Just the way Obama helped the banks who should have gone bankrupt). The same people however correctly show distrust of government in matters of war, LGBTQ issues and so on. It is just a paradox.
