The economic effect is occurring. See the chart towards the end of the article.

"From another perspective, the story of the last ten years has been one of huge success. At the time of the crash, 19 per cent of the world’s population were living in what the UN defines as absolute poverty, meaning on less than $1.90 a day. Today, that number is below 9 per cent. In other words, the number of people living in absolute poverty has more than halved, while rich-world living standards have flatlined or declined."

The proposal is to make the effect explicit rather that political populism of trying to reverse the current trend for those at point B in the chart.
I mean, the latest tax bill involved taking money away from those people to give it to people far richer than they are. In particular, look at the changes to deductions for mortgage interest.

In the court of public opinion, yes, this is true - video is no longer proof that something happened. I guess that's a price we pay for technological progress. Presumably at some point it will be possible (and easy and accessible) to generate body fluids with someone else's DNA in them, at which point DNA evidence will suffer a similar hit.

In a court of law, presumably video will now be subject to the same scrutiny as photos. IANAL but I imagine photos do not "stand alone" - the side that uses them has to make a convincing argument that they are trustworthy.
SEEKING WORK - remote, short to medium term projects - zak.wilson@gmail.com I make software - mostly full-stack web development and HTTP APIs, but I'm adaptable. I have some interest in artificial intelligence and machine learning. I have a little experience making Android apps, and my open-source Android app Ceilingbounce has happy users.

I can do stuff that's harder than basic CRUD apps. Stuff I know well: Clojure, Ruby (with or without Rails), Python, Django, Javascript, Lua, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SASS, responsive CSS.

Other stuff I've used for something non-trivial at least once: Common Lisp, Scheme, Java, SASS, C, PHP, Haskell, Bash, Perl, MongoDB, Mirah, Android development with Clojure. Yes, I can probably pick up that language or tool you're using that nobody has ever heard of.

I'm a college dropout who's been in a position where I've had to interview people and make hiring decisions. I always hire based on who I'd most like to work with. Sometimes that candidate has a degree from a very prestigious university, other times they don't, but I always hire the person who I think I'll learn the most from or whom I think will add the most value to the company. Grades and the school you went to never tell me those things, it's your interview and personal projects that tell me that.
I see this as a great argument for his side, actually. State governments need to be able to enforce taxation at the time of the transaction, because it's going to be impossible to collect otherwise. Without an effective collection and enforcement mechanism, of course individuals won't go out of their way to make extra payments! Even the tax lawyer arguing the case isn't going out of his way to pay!

The question of whether states should be able to charge this tax in the first place is another conversation. But if you accept that levying these taxes is the right choice for society, there needs to be a viable collection mechanism.

According to

http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/kps2015/proceedings/KPS_201...

new undefined behaviors were added, and for significant bits.

I think the bigger issue is that compiler writers have taken "undefined" to mean complete liberty to do whatever the hell they want, even fairly far away from the actual location of the undefined behavior.

And it turns out that the C89 standard had a range of "permissible" actions on undefined behavior. To me "permissible" is restrictive, as in you are not allowed to do anything outside that range.

Newer standards kept that section (3.4.3) the same, word for word, except for changing "permissible" to "possible". To me, "possible" is not restrictive but illustrative.

Now you might think this is reading tea-leaves on my part, and you might be correct, but on the other hand that change of interpretation is exactly what happened. Compilers used to not do these things, and nowadays compilers do do these things, and compiler writers cite the standard as giving them permission. Also consider to what extent wording of standards is finessed and fought over, and that exactly this one word was changed, in a section that otherwise remained the same word for word.
This phenomenon has a name: Moravec's Paradox [1]. If a chimp or a four year old can do it, a computer probably has a hard time with it.

I couldn't care less about your GPA or what school you went to, some of the best people I know never attended school at all.
Having implemented effectively the same customer-facing analytics problem in BQ, Keen, Mongo, and Postgres, I'll tell you specifically:

* Column stores like BQ and Keen don't let you efficiently slice and dice data by factors other than time. If you're slicing by customer or product, your queries become incredibly slow and expensive. You start writing hacky shit like figuring out when your customer's first sale was so you can narrow the time slightly, but that barely helps.

* MongoDB doesn't do joins. So you denormalize big chunks of your data, and now you have update problems because 1) you have to hunt all that down and 2) you don't have transactions that span collections. Also the aggregation language is tedious compared to SQL, requiring you to do most of the work of a query planner yourself.

* Some other person in this thread said MongoDB was faster than Postgres, but I found quite the opposite to be true. For the same real-world workload, basic aggregations on an index, we found Postgres to be much faster than Mongo. No idea what that other person is talking about.

Just wanted to clarify that the issue was not with the Diffie-Hellman key exchange itself, but the way we currently do DNS plus IP routing are the issues.

Technically, the client could encrypt their IP with the y=H(g^{scr}) key (result of the DH KE) and send (Enc(y, IP), g^{rc})-- where H is the oracle, g^s server public key, rc <session nonce>*key (or generally 1 time key). The server can then compute the same key (g^{rc}^s and then apply H) and decrypt.

So the second and third paragraph contradict a bit each other, which was the sole reason for my clarification. I am not stating you as wrong or anything; I was just augmenting, so other readers don't get the wrong impression and decouple Diffie-Hellman KE from public key cryptography.

P.S. The remaining issue is to make sure the server does not have to decrypt the IP for invalid connections etc (that is avoid DOS or leaking secrets as we are operating on not trusted ciphertext).
Center for Social Media Responsibility | Engineer/Researcher | San Francisco, Ann Arbor, or remote | Visa (H1B Cap Exempt) | Full-Time (or Part-Time/Fellow for the right person) |
https://www.si.umich.edu/research/center-social-media-respon...

The Center for Social Media Responsibility’s (CSMR) mission is to ensure that the social media platforms that impact our public discourse (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, etc.) are designed and operated with the responsibility that befits their scale and power.

A core CSMR focus area is the creation of "Platform Health Grades"—a set of metrics that capture the positive and negative impacts of platforms on discourse—on challenges like misinformation, harassment, polarization, etc. Platforms and teams are rewarded for shipping products and moving metrics; so we are focused on creating useful metrics that inform the product creation, evolution, and measurement processes, leading to both internal and external accountability.

CSMR is part of the University of Michigan School of Information, and this position could be based in Ann Arbor, San Francisco, or remote. The ideal candidate would be a full-time employee, but part-time, contract, or a fixed term fellowship is also possible.

Contact csmr-info@umich.edu if you’re interested in learning more.
I think the rule is the more mathematics background you have the more natural functional programming will feel. Most programmers didn't take math electives in college.
Largely agree (dropping prices some would help with sales).

But I think Tony’s point was it would be nice for Apple to not have to pay the tax. It would help their bottom line.
OP said nothing about C++, just plain C.
Every successful Apple innovation goes through the same phases.

1. Well that's stupid. Why would they do that? Nobody needs this.

Within a few months...

2. Huh. This is actually really sweet. Nobody else has this technology.

And then a few years pass...

3. It's really nothing groundbreaking.
I think it’s actually hard to launch such a case. I mean take Sterling. The tape was illegally leaked and was there a defamation suit against the leaker? California requires dual consent for recording [0], and no criminal charges have been brought or civil charges. Not the same, but shows there’s no repurcussion in this type of situation.

The issue is that it will be really hard to prove as fake so even if an adversary didn’t just anonymously leak the material. In a PR situation you don’t need authenticity, just confusion.

I expect that you could use this pretty effectively for stock scams (eg, video posted on Friday that Bezos is launching electric car tanks Tesla, etc). Or even more sinister fake videos of things that may be true (video of Musk assaulting some woman).

What I’m actually scanning for are small markets with small $10-100k upside potential like a fake video of Tom Cruise that impact Mission Impossible opening that can be shorted through mediapredict or other markets that aren’t SEC regulated.

Not to do it of course, but to see trends in how these videos are developed.

And the article went on, and on, and on...

As for their humidity problem, the article says little about how their badly designed chiller-less system got into a condensing situation. The original article in the Register does.[1]

This was an HVAC configuration error. The facility used evaporative cooling, which dumps heat into water by running air through a water spray or some wet surface. This raises the humidity. They somehow got the system configured so that it was recirculating air through the evaporative cooler, increasing the humidity on each pass until it hit saturation. The problem only lasted for a few hours until somebody figured out what was wrong.

They probably didn't have a union-trained stationary engineer on site. This sort of thing is covered in the apprenticeship training for a stationary engineer.
Fans, dampers, and controls can all fail, which can create situations like this.
Stationary engineers deal with those problems. At large data center scale, you may need one.

Processors exist to run code quickly. Slow ones don't sell very well, so we'd see stack oriented opcodes regardless of C's existence. You would also still use functions like lea, and indexed moves in any language with the concept of an array so that too is not strictly related to C.

Most of the X86's CISC "style" predates C, and the reverse is mostly true - C was heavily inspired by the PDP's instruction set. When the 8086 came out originally BASIC was a far more important language for the class of processor it was. "Serious" software was much more likely to be raw assembler than C. The processor was just too small and compilers weren't good enough.
How many is that? Have network connections really become reliable enough across the entire country (where a major-ish chain fast food restaurant would be located)?

I honestly have no idea, since we (on HN) tend to be more focused on broadband, whereas this is more likely to be adequately served by what are low bandwidths by today's standards (albeit not as assymetric as the consumer Internet, which can be another confounding factor).
Yeah, Seattle. Legislators and city govs have been super friendly and eager to help us, and we're still keeping really good pedal assist. The worst case scenario is in some areas we can disable throttles and make our pedal assist boost factor absurdly high. Making the case to govs for throttles on our bikes is easier than with a company who wants to sell ebikes to the public because we're not trying to get bicyclists to purchase our bikes. We're trying to get people to skip car trips and make connecting to public transit actually doable for them. So far this resonates with city planners.
>The things that we think are mentally taxing, we've only been doing for a few thousand years or so.

It's kind of fascinatingly serendipitous in the sense that computers/AI are super quick at performing the tasks that we humans find extremely taxing (complex mathematical computation, visual simulation) while struggling with tasks that comes naturally to us humans (gripping objects, running with two feet--as you described) owing to evolution.

I wonder how much of that is because of constituent 'building block' materials that make up the basic structure of homo sapiens and computers -- carbon and silicon, respectively.
