> We live in a three-dimensional world and we don’t have to worry about the fact that the mind makes mistakes when it’s forced to deal with an unnatural, two-dimensional world.

This is amusing. To a mathematician, physicist, computer scientist, logician, 2 dimensions are often easier to reason about than 3.

> Honesty in the future is best predicted by honesty in the past, not by whether a person looks you steadily in the eye or claims a recent religious conversion.

This doesn't give people the chance to change if the whole system is based on everyone retaining an internal consistency in inferencing that is checked against reality by testing it.

> The conjunction of two events can’t be more likely than just one event by itself.

This is mathematically incorrect. If two events are mutually dependent on the other to occur then two events are more likely to occur together than either or independently.

> The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior.

Apply this reasoning to yourself before you expect it from others. Apply it to the things about you that are the hardest to change, that you actually want to change. Shortest path to compassion, and one of the hardest lessons to learn.

But (the hypothetical) dark matter does interact with regular matter through gravity, so your graph is connected.

The existence of 100% non-interacting particles is by definition non-falsifiable, therefore scientifically irrelevant.

While I agree with your sentiment. The 1st amendment starts with "Congress shall make no law". Facebook is free to police whatever content they don't like without any repercussions in law. It is up to society "us" to police a company like facebook that is doing things we don't agree with.
A friend of mine also pointed out that they appear to have different attitudes towards hierarchy. At least, the Marxist derived authoritarians brand themselves as egalitarian -- though they usually go ahead and have hierarchy anyway, having it both ways. Fascists and Nazis also seem to emphasize community while extolling elites, great men, and meritocratic hierarchy -- also having it both ways. It's just that the branding is different.
Yeah the people complaining about how tall your grass is outside your house are not the same as the people holding twitter to account for enabling fascism.
Correct. But how has not going by the wisdom of SCOTUS' rulings by private entities played out? Even Y Combinator agreed it hasn't gone well, or they wouldn't have bootstrapped GAB.ai at some point in the past.

Once you start looking at those effects... makes you wonder, right? Speaking of dick pics, I don't think you can post one on HN. You could do a link to one, but it'll get greyed out/downvoted..not removed, unless I'm mistaken.

> you should be aware that your employer is forbidding Android manufacturers to also produce any non-certified Android-based devices

This is true but is not relevant to the situation at hand and Google has very reasonable arguments for insisting on this. As far as I understand it, there is no requirement for a manufacturer to ship Google search or the Play Store on an Android device they manufacture. They only require that manufacturers not fragment the ecosystem by breaking compatibility. If you are going to build on the back of the ecosystem, don't break that same ecosystem, and that is quite reasonable. I am sure Microsoft would not tolerate OEMs licensing windows then modifying the Windows APIs on the installed system to break compatibility with apps made by Microsoft and 3rd parties. I am quite sure they would refuse to continue to license Windows to OEMs that did that.

The issue at hand is around what Google requires once somebody wants to license the Play Store. At that point they are required to also ship Google Search as the default which is the problem.
Because PUC means private to an organization. Any standard imposed on PUC would... violate the Unicode standard, and any standard of how to use PUC would, if accepted by the industry, be indistinguishable from... just the Unicode Consortium standardizing those characters. Why is the UC doing this not good for you but some other standards development organization (formal or informal) OK?
Nobody said that these platforms are forced to follow the supreme Court.

We instead are saying that it would be a bad idea for them not to do so.

Facebook is free to make whatever mistakes it wants. That doesn't change the fact that it is a mistake.
Universal Register Machine Implemented at the Type-Level of Haskell
Let me break down exactly why I think the language in what appears to be a lawyer-driven PR pot-bashing is so terrible, because if your plan was to go back to internal G+ with "someone on HN said a lawyer wrote it" little will probably change.

> Established GCP customers...

> Online customers with established payment history...

What exactly qualifies as being "established"? In the first example, additional stipulations around billing arrangements are imposed, but in the latter it remains unclear.

> ...review for flagged fraud accounts...

> ...event that fraud or account compromise activity is detected...

You gotta stop using the f-bomb like that. This piece is supposed to be a follow on to a story of a customer who apparently was conducting completely non-fraudulent activity within their account. Your copy should, like your culture, assume "innocent until proven guilty". Saying something is "flagged for fraud" in a PR piece breaks that rule.

> We will provide ways for customers to pre-verify their accounts with us if they desire...

Sounds very passive-aggressively optional. Nor does it tell me what I actually gain here, or even a hint of what might be involved for verification or how potentially simple or easy it may or may not be - do I need my counsel to post via registered service on company letterhead confirmation of my organisation's official trading details, or do I click an link in an email?

> There are also steps that customers can take to help us protect their accounts including...

The word "protect" is suitable if you were a bank, and you wanted to encourage customer behaviour to prevent them being victims to fraudsters. But you're not, so really this language is suggesting customers need to "protect" themselves from your algorithms and automated systems, which is kind of inappropriate to be saying.

“The only thing that can be realistically removed...”

Wot
As an Amazon seller, I have to say this is an order of magnitude better response from Google than I'd ever expect from Amazon. Admittedly low standards.

I've been locked out at times from my seller account because they wanted to verify a 10 euro purchase on a related account, and blocked the account for fraud until I faxed over a bank statement. A different time, I signed up for AWS, they couldn't charge the card for some reason, and so the account got blocked for fraud and I couldn't log into the seller account.
>Americans love spending money on things

How much do you tithe per week? Don't kid us by implying they'd give you that support if you weren't a paying customer.
> The fact that Shopfy is crushing it in an era where Ebay and Amazon should be able to take that space is really interesting.

Um, source?
As a buyer it is often excellent, particularly as nearly all their policies now heavily favour the buyer.

Buyers need sellers and those same policies have put off many (most?) of the private and small sellers. That's removed many of the products I liked to buy and the very reason I used to visit and browse regularly. It's still handy for toner, and a few other random purchases, I even bought my Macbook via eBay.
I'm happy it worked for you, but I consider us victims of a society that arbitrarily enforces waking hours. There's no reason a programmer can't work noon to 8 if that works better with their sleep schedule. Ditto for most other office jobs. Core hours are reasonable compromises.

On the one hand our lives will be easier if we just got with the program. But things will never get better if we acquiesce.
> why would google ever sell the software in the first place?

To earn money. But of course (without restrictions) there would be more competition, there would be alternative Android builds and, as a result, more software not depending on Google Play Services.

If Google could choose Apple model and be profitable, they would choose it from the start. But there is a big difference. Apple makes their own hardware and is good at it. Google doesn't and maybe they didn't want to take a risk so instead they have chosen to make only the software. Also we should remember that Google came to the smartphone market late when it was already conquered by Apple.

For example, Google has tried to enter laptop market with Chromebooks but without noticeable success.

Even if Google makes Android closed source, it doesn't mean that there would be no open platform. Maybe someone will continue developing Android, or some other OS, maybe someone will make a Linux distribution for smartphones.
Let’s hope they won’t: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ether_addiction
> there are ways to monetize android profitably for google without resorting to anticompetitive contracts.

Interesting! What are these ways?
I once signed up for AWS, they couldn't verify the card on initial signup and the entire account got blocked, including a login to a seller account that was doing 6 figures/month.

Amazon has a big issue in that all their services are linked to a single Amazon account, and if that account is blocked you can be prevented from accessing entirely unrelated services. In that case, maybe it was ok to suspend a brand new AWS account until accounts could be verified, but the linked accounts that were also blocked should have been looked at manually because of their volume.
The assumption you are making that seems so obviously wrong I am shocked anyone on Earth would make it: that concerned citizens with axes and tire irons will stay home as long as certain things aren't said. They're showing up anyway, buddy. You can walk on eggshells all you want, force everyone on the Internet to walk along with you, and they will still be out there. If your goal in life is to live as long as possible with as little violence as possible, I suggest you buy a nice farm somewhere safe and live out your years in quiet solitude. If, on the other hand, you want a rich life that is worth living, I suggest you learn to tolerate people publishing lies on the Internet and install a good deadbolt.
That is really the sad thing about this EU decision. There are many benefits to open source, but it is extremely hard to find ways to monetise it. Google's strategy of using their investment in Android to secure Google Search on mobile was one way of monetising it. Whether you agree with it or not, the EU is shutting the door on that, and it will affect people's view of monetising open source far more generally than this specific case.
> The people it doesn't help are the people who put no effort into the process.

I’ve heard this repeated a lot. I have no doubt this is true for some people (maybe even the majority of people for which therapy doesn’t work, I don’t know). However, I wouldn’t want to claim this is the only reason. Especially since it’s a great effort for many people to even make it to therapy in the first place. They are making an effort. And it’s disheartening to then turn around and tell them they’re the problem if it doesn’t work.
Sure, if you call for violence on FB, they can arrest you after the violence has already been triggered. That's good, if it keeps you from being able to do it again. It's better to keep it from happening the first time, though.
Pretty useful for real estate investors who want to plan ahead for the next few hundred million years....
Thanks for sharing all these awesome ideas. I can't say I know enough about NLP to evaluate how feasible some of your speech to code ideas are, but I do think Optic is a great base to any project trying to do meta-coding.

I'd love to see a 2-way code generator built on Optic for a simple crud builder like you describe. It could let people choose the libraries they want to use from the list and design their schemas, routes and queries at some higher level of abstraction. Unlike the current generator tool you could actually make changes to the high level models and get Optic to update the underlying code for you even after you make changes.

That whole field could be huge and I think Optic's major contribution will be abstracting away all the dirtiness of code gen. People who build this next generation of tools could interact purely with Swagger-like-JSON.

Is this something you'd be interested in collaborating on?
You're absolutely correct. I am merely saying, for maximum coverage/attention spans, it would be prudent to go by the SCOTUS rulings, even for private entities. While that may initially turn -some- people away because of their... views, shall we say, eventually I think it will pay off in the long run and attract even more visitors than had they remained constrained by abridging the 1st Amendment on their platforms.
We disagree about that.
I work in information security and IBM is the undisputed leader. I’d also hesitate to call them an also-ran in AI, even if they’re not the undisputed leader.

I feel like people on here discount IBM because they don’t have anything to offer consumers or startups, but the corporate world is far bigger and has far deeper pockets.
He definitely seems like the exception to the rule. Whereas if I've slept 5 hours I'll be ready to pack in at 4pm he's still fine.

And I'm pretty sure its not an act as he's older than me, consistently competent and I've known him like this for years,running the same schedule.

Probably just on one extreme of the bell curve.

This is the most American comment section. Somehow the fact that Facebook might remove lies that lead to violence is objectionable on free speech grounds. That they remove pictures of nipples is somehow not a matter of great concern...
First of all, I wholeheartedly reject the idea that giving to a civil rights organization should be treated the same as giving to an organization meant to downplay climate change.

Second, without the information that large, rich people and organizations are the ones behind these groups, their message changes. And again, it is not "no one's business but yours," because those things that you are advocating for affect me. Those laws you're fighting to enact or repeal affect me. So no, it is not just your business.
The problem with this logic is that things like insurance companies are making decisions that bankrupt and even kill people every day, for their own profit. That’s the reality of privatized healthcare.

I empathize with the people who would lose their livehoods as well, but not above people who are broke or dying, right now, because of how terrible the American healthcare system is.
Working with local communities to come up with culture-fit solutions is exactly the right thing to do. Most of the problems people seem to have with Facebook is their past attempts to apply a single concept of decorum to a global population.

It's usually fine to let police handle threats, but they can quickly spiral in places on the brink of erupting, or in populations the police aren't always good about protecting.
Hi I like OpenWRT. https://openwrt.org/
I help out testing any changes in the webinterface called LUCI to make shure that it works with screen readers. I am blind and use a screen reader on my computer all the time. Most router softwair is not usable for a screen reader user. I am not a coder but just hang around and chat to the devs and test out any changes that I can. It's a good way for me to mess around with new tech as routers are mutch cheaper than Computers. All so running linux on a computer is no good for me as the screen readers that come with Linux desktops are crap.
Can you explain how the duration of a second affects the metre?
To rephrase this. As wasteful as it may seem to "protect people from themselves" there is a good reason to believe not having some of those protections is actually more expensive.

Consider the costs of seatbelt enforcement. They are real and exist. More, for most people and most rides, the seatbelt truly did nothing for you. To the point that if you got a ticket, it almost certainly cost you more than you are projected to save from having a seatbelt in the short term.

However, for society at large, we tremendously benefit by having everyone use seatbelts. From less time lost on the job, to fewer ER trips from lower collision wrecks.
No, he was not convicted of this and there is no evidence to support it. This was, however, used to smear his name in the course of the trial and the judge allowed it even though it was unsubstantiated.

i don’t understand this viewpoint at all. you and i must live in a completely different world, as i feel i am surrounded by mediocrity with myself included. everywhere you look are humans acting more like humans the animal instead humans the “thinking being”.

and i feel, more often than not, people in the positions of acclaim and power got there more by luck and being in the right place at the right time while having supplemented this with hard work and some intelligence, and not the other way around. it is much more difficult to exist as a person who thinks outside the box versus one who thinks inside the box but knows the right people.

Besides this:

They have skype on the phone. They could have been the major western payment processor. The Alipay or Wechat of the West. Nothing.

Sad. :/ I’m about to get an X1 Carbon or T480s and trying to decide if 1440p... On the one hand, really digging the idea of hidpi fonts in terminals and web; on the other hand this Linux support madness...

I think the main thing to ponder is whether I’ll be hooking it up to external displays a lot. Is the situation basically “no issues” if not using external displays?

Also when hooking up to external is it possible to make X switch to lodpi everywhere and “pretend” that the 1440p screen is 1080p (like tell applications it’s 1080p)?

At the time these were originally being built, sufficient people in the UK were homeless to motivate a significant squatting movement to rise up and reclaim bomb-damaged homes, and the whole issue of working class housing in the UK continued as a festering sore through the sixties, seventies, eighties, the decline of social housing under Thatcher, to the present day where (ironies of ironies) Russian Millionaires, some of whom doubtless grew up in Krushchyovka, displace British working poor from affordable homes to dig mega-basements...

Anyway: I digress. The worse of these units are pretty torrid but the best of them, at the time built were probably better than many working people had in the west. Of course they were rapidly superceded by significantly worse and worse forms, and housing in the UK (the only one I know) got better, mostly.

Recent stories suggest the current owners and occupants are torn between realists who are going to get on, and some people who feel a sense of dislocation and fear being de-housed into significantly worse conditions in private housing for (somebody elses) profit.

As another commenter mentioned, the various vinegar-based pepper sauces have a wide range of flavors from fiery (Tabasco) to piquant (Crystal). The Cajuns in my extend family use Crystal and Louisiana Brand sauce. These are more on the tangy side and have much less spice. Even my six year-old likes Crystal on his red beans. I've also seen a few purely local brands in their pantries. I've never seen Tabasco, however.

Recording verbatim conversation is a pretty rare typing use case I would say. Court reporters use steno machines for that, no non-chorded layout is fast enough.

The vast majority of people are typing up some sort of copy or code, both of which are limited by thinking speed if you're anywhere above 80wpm or so.

Even writing a relatively casual e-mail I find myself limited by thought speed rather than typing. I can type a sustained 120-150wpm but frankly it's mostly a party trick, I don't think it makes me any more productive than someone typing 60-80wpm.
