Hospitals in the UK have for the last few years been receiving training to counter this, based on the lessons learnt by the airline industry - Cockpit Management. This was set in motion by an airline pilot whose daughter died in a hospital because of a mistake made by a senior surgeon who wouldn't listen to the junior staff who had noticed it. The tl;dr of it is that saying "Stop, I think you are making a mistake" is an effective way for junior staff to get senior staff to pay attention, and can save lives.
I wouldn't say that money needs to be "illegally obtained" to be classified as laundered. There are tax benefits to "laundering" legally obtained money, for example.

Although at this point we're just arguing semantics.

Can you not determine who the author is? Based on clues like the author's name in the article heading, and the comment poster's name being different? And the author posting a reply to the circled comment you posted indicating that this approach does happen, but is sketchy... seems to point to a reading comprehension problem here.

Yes, definitely. I barely use Bitcoins or other cryptocurrencies at all (because USD works great for everything I do), but cryptocurrencies are perfect for this industry because they are

- fast enough. 15 minutes to validate a transaction is sufficient for a porn site.

- as certain as wiring money. There's no chance a customer can force money back from you once paid.

- anonymous. Your wife won't find out in a bank statement, so less chance of "fake-angry" customers trying to force money back.

- The money goes directly to the content creators. No need for sketchy middleman services.

The disadvantage is that most people don't know how to use crypto. Therefore, laymen-friendly online wallets are the solution that basically baby users into uploading cash, clicking a big "send" button, and copy-pasting a wallet ID. I have not seen an online wallet simple enough for the average computer to use, but it's close.

A quick Google search shows a few sites that accept Bitcoin, but they probably make up less than 0.1% of the market. Why don't major sites use cryptocurrencies at least as an alternative option? It seems like a quick and easy 100%-commission payment method to me for the customers that are capable of it.

Committing someone to enforced treatment is an absolutely massive action. In the UK, it requires a police officer, doctor, and social worker to all agree that it is necessary.
As you pointed out: " there is a category of people who can be said to be in need of help, there are others who are quite within their right to do with their lives whatever they please". But, if you only provide help to those who need it and are willing to accept it, there would be no forced-treatment-problem like described. I am convinced that quite a few of the "homeless, mentally ill" would be willing to accept help, that they are usually denied (because of the lack of a house, job and insurance).
Personally, I tried it and had issues with package availability. It reminds me of RHEL without EPEL. Granted, there might be an equivalent that I didn't know about.

EDIT/PS: this was particularly unfortunate, because ironically I really liked the package manager itself and the rest of the system was pretty decent.
Is there really a need to shrink models?

As far as I know, most machine learning models can be very compact, often well under 1 GB. Even high-res vision CNNs aren't anywhere close to being fully-connected. They might have millions of weights, but that's just in the MegaByte range.

My understanding in the the real problem is obfuscating the machine learning model. If they decide to put their model on the local memory, they'd be giving away their well-guarded trade secret. Also they'd be giving away their justification for collecting all user data.

Is anyone around here working of production ML software? Am I really wrong?
It’s not impossible to say who was at fault.

The facts of the case are that the hospital engaged with several judges and a police department all of whom ultimately concluded that they had no legal basis to hold her. Yet they had been doing so anyways.

As far as I can tell determining who is at fault is exactly what the legal system is for.

No, they don't. They have thousands of security cameras set up, and I'd be shocked if they didn't have technologies like facial recognition built in. They have the ability to do a background check on every guest who checks in. They also have people working the front desk who likely get training to see if you're a "bad guy" or not.

On the one hand, this is a really neat hack. On the other hand, given the current situation with cars, pollution in cities (air quality, noise-level etc), global warming, I would personally think twice before doing something that would make car driving easier and more pleasant, as that simply incentivizes more driving. (getting a ticket might be a small inconvenience, but it does contribute to creating a slight aversion to driving).

Sure, this may seem a bit "evil", and the better solution is reducing negative externalities through taxing, which is a more transparent and ethical solution, but most of us don't have that level of power and influence within local councils and governments.
If I try to connect the facts presented in this article, I don't get to quite the same conclusions. Let me walk through the article:

The article presents a chart of top investments. The top 3 are all in Malaysia, costing from $8.4B to $14.1B. OK, China is spending a lot of money in this Belt & Road thing.

The article details how the China-Myanmar gas and oil pipelines (a $2.5B investment) are under-utilized. Now we see that some of that money could have been spent more wisely.

The article points out that the majority of China's trade with Europe is by sea and the Malacca Strait is a choking point. The article doesn't say, but it seems to validate that the both investments above are good ideas:

* This validates that the vast investment in Malaysia is a really good idea. By having Malaysia's economy integrated with, or even reliant on China's economy, China secures the trade route by sea.

* This also validates that the China-Myanmar pipelines may also be a good idea, even if they are under-utilized now. It hedges the risk of the Malaysia investment, and gives China more leverage when it comes to issues in the Malacca Strait. Even at peace time, Malaysia, Indonesia, or the US could threaten to deny Chinese ships passage of the Strait and apply a lot of leverage to China. That leverage is gone with the Myanmar pipelines. It is under-utilized now and will probably remain under-utilized because it's a strategic tool.

The article then shows how the Soviet economy went down due to investments in Siberia. I strongly feel it is the wrong comparison: not only because Malaysia and Myanmar are very different places from Siberia, but also because Siberia is part of Russia while Malaysia and Myanmar are not part of China. I am not implying that foreign investments are automatically better than domestic investments, but the analogy is a poor one here.

The article also shows how China's domestic investment is shifting from the east coast to the west inland areas, apparently trying to draw a better analogy with Russia's decline. That looks like a more valid point to me, but why the sudden shift to domestic investments near the end? Probably it is because the author wants to conclude the article with the following sentence:

> China’s rise this century was driven by its embrace of world trade and the coastal provinces most exposed to it. In this retreat inland, it’s sowing the seeds of decline.

But if the reader still remembers the earlier parts of the article, they should see that China is doing several things:

* Foreign investments along the traditional maritime trade routes -- most notably Malaysia

* Foreign investments along the new land trade routes -- I understand this to hedge the risk of maritime trade routes being blockaded

* Domestic investments to less-developed areas

This is hardly a "retreat inland", it is diversification of investments. Sounds good to me.
> This is a fucked up job that gives way too much power to people who really don't care about others and often are unsuited to work with others.

The problem is that CPS (or equivalent) jobs aren't nearly paid well enough, with an ever rising load of cases (for example due to morons calling CPS on their neighbors for letting their kids play in the garden). This results in underpaid, probably underqualified, and massively overworked employees. Which in turn often leads to employees preemptively taking kids out of families because they're afraid they might be on the hook if they leave the kids, but don't have the time to properly assess the situation.

"A bill in California could enforce this, but it had not been passed in Stanislaus County. Known as Laura’s Law, the bill allows courts to order what’s known as assisted outpatient treatment (AOT) to people with severe mental illness if they meet specific criteria, including previous hospitalisations or arrests, being noncompliant with outpatient treatment, and becoming dangerous to themselves or others."

Outpatient treatment can cause further harm, worse than what the illness will do, depending on what it is. In many cases of mental illness the underlying cause is physical, and if you shove antidepressants or antipsychotics on those people they just might get worse rather than better.

> an in-depth analysis of the project really looking at the consequences with an eye on the long-term effects

You won't find them because these aren't projects being developed (a) with private capital nor (b) for their economic merits. When a bridge is built in America, someone issues a bond. That issuance--both leading up to it and once in the wild--produces an incentive to do good analysis.

That incentive isn't there with Belt and Road. State-owned banks provide the capital. And the reasoning for the development is strategic, so you get geopolitical and military talking heads instead of good economists, whose services are ironically better allocated to analyzing other projects.

Your mistake is in thinking that the money laundering is achieved by, say, generating a credit card charge for FOO when the item sold was BAR. Not so - the money laundering is in opening many merchant accounts purporting to be for selling FOO, generating profit sanitized as "clean," moving those profits between banks, and essentially deceiving payment processors to generate a profit.

This was, in fact, one of the actual mechanisms brought to bear against Backpage. Certainly the indictment was motivated by, you know, underage sex trafficking, but the enforcement mechanism used to achieve a verdict was mostly money laundering. You can read the indictment yourself: https://www.justice.gov/file/1050276/download. How many counts of trafficking vs money laundering do you see?

And finally, no, they are not "selling different content through other processors." These processors' entire business model is to create "legitimate," totally unrelated transactions to the credit card authorities, to take a cut, and pass back the funds to the merchant. I believe Backpage was instructing people trying to purchase ad inventory to go to a portal to purchase dog food for a while.

It doesn't require police.

There are different forms of detention, and different forms of forced treatment.

These are described (for England) in the Mental Health Act.

This is what it means to be sectioned - you are detained under section of the mental health act.

The most common sections are:

Section 136: a police officer can detain you in a public place and take you to a place of safety to be assessed. This requires one police officer. It lasts a maximum of 24 hours (but it can be extended by 12 hours).

Section 2: this is a short 28 day hold for assessment and treatment. It requires 2 doctors and an AMHP. Traditionally AMHPs were social workers, but they don't have to be and there are increasing numbers of nurses becoming AMHPs.

Section 3: this is a six month hold for treatment. It requires 2 doctors and an AMHP.

Section 4 is another short term hold (72 hours) that can be used in emergencies if there's only 1 doctor available.

American cities are built for cars - there's no way around that issue. To navigate cities you need some sort of powered transportation vehicle, outside of a few just-about-pedestrian-navigable areas downtown.

The patient signed a privacy release form provided by Mayo allowing them to freely discuss the case with CNN. Despite this the hospital has chosen to continue to refuse to answer questions under the guise of patient confidentiality.

Since the hospital legally can present their side of the story and evidence to support it and have chosen not to, it is reasonable to accept the patient's account as accurate.

There's a thing called 0-conf where you accept a transaction even before it's included in a block. This is used by BitPay, the worlds largest Bitcoin payment processor, to accept Bitcoin Cash in just a couple of seconds.

It's safe enough (there's always a risk/reward trade-off) for smaller purchases if you just use a few simple heuristics like requiring a sane fee and checking for double spend attempts for a couple of seconds.

This is about the fundamental capacity constraints and costs of rail versus maritime transport. The former will always be more expensive than the other, and always be further capacity constrained. The only thing that could change that is a quantum leap in several technologies, in which case the current investments become useless.
