Machine translation from/to Japanese is astoundingly awful. This has been my barometer for whether the hype around "AI" is real, and I'm always disappointed. It's a hard problem that's nowhere near to being cracked.
> cars (especially privately owned ones) just do not make sense going forward.

Sure they do, just not in all situations. I'm all for walkable city centers, downtowns, parks and such, but I also very much love to drive my car. I'm happy to vote for more pedestrian/public-transport friendly metropolitan areas (and do), as long as there's also non-metro areas for me to live on my privately owned land and drive my privately owned car as I please.
Maybe the most desirable locations on Earth should be theme parks that a billion people can visit, rather than gated mega-communities for ten million wealthy/lucky long-term residents.

Maybe one day the typical life will consist of visiting a different theme-park-like city every few days, and people will identify with their planet rather than a few hundred square miles that's designated as their city of residence.
"I know european cities are much more pedestrian friendly & that US cities in general are more oriented towards the car lifestyle"

Doesn't sound so outlandish to me.
Can you elaborate on what you mean by (1-2) leaking meta-information and making deniability difficult? Do you mean that even when choosing to encrypt but not sign I am leaking definite proof (like a signature) of my private key information in the encrypted message?

That seems hard to believe unless I am misunderstanding you, because my experience is that any private key use requires auth from my Yubikey and yet I can do encryption without my yubikey plugged in at all.

edit: If by deniability you're talking about PFS, then, well, don't sign something you want to be able to deny having signed. I feel your comment might be misinterpreted to be a critique of PGP encryption when really it's a critique of PFS of PGP signatures+encryption.

I don't think you can guess in advance which marketing channel is going to work for you, you need to experiment and see what brings results. There's a book Traction that goes deeper into this, if you haven't given up yet. Good luck, both in business and marriage! :)

Self-publishing isn't really an issue here. The fact that it's self-published (through Amazon services) and is available exclusively at Amazon is what pisses off this syndicate.

Which I find weird because they'd expect the author to handle shipment to the 3000+ bookshops all by himself ? I've heard some self-published authors do that, but this is madness.
Neither of those is a matter of literary opinion. A book full of Markov-chain gibberish created to receive KDP revenue, or to serve in a money laundering scheme, is not a work of literature -- it's an instrument of fraud. Removing these books is simply a (entirely reasonable) business decision.

I'm not sure what you're thinking of in particular when you mention books removed "based on their content", but I can think of any number of scenarios where this is, again, a perfectly reasonable decision.
What is the practical benefit of betting you landed in the worst spot? When computer scientists talk about Quicksort, we regularly talk about it being a O(N*LogN) operation. But by this logic, we should be treating it as N^2. That doesn't make sense, because in practical applications, we generally are dealing with random inputs, not adversarial inputs.

I'm not convinced what a lay-person is interested in solving matters. We're talking about Bellman, who is a mathematician and well known for attacking problems relevant to computer scientists. A lay person would just bring a compass and call it good.
Interesting you should mention Mandlebrot:

https://old.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/6eg0x/where_ar...

> the inner loop of mandelbrot is now identical (at the ucode IR level) to the IR generated by a C compiler. All type checks have been eliminated and only the pure (statically typed) FP adds/multiplies are left (the remaining task is to transform the ucode to the best possible machine code -- working on it). Similar results can be obtained for other numeric loops.

That is… absolutely true, and yet “I missed my flight” probably should be in the list of canned phrases that can just be looked up in a dictionary, along with “Where is the bathroom” and ”Check, please”.
> But I'll admit that I don't remember which ones had them and which didn't, other than that I expected my financial institutions to have them.

This is a core point in the article too that you've glossed over: no one knows which websites must have EV information other than a general "hope my bank has one". EV certificates are useless not just because the browsers are dropping them, the browsers are dropping marks for EV certificates because they are useless for actual security.

They were an interesting attempt at security, but like the "take your shoes off at the airport", it only really helped you from maybe blowing up your own foot, tops. Ultimately the only thing that EV certificates were doing was lining the pockets of security theater predators, because despite "reports" they've never really meant anything to the average consumer and most consumers never learned how/where to look for them except sometimes "maybe my bank should have one, I don't know?"

wow. I can't even imagine the amount of confidence you must need to think to even do that AND think it's a good idea. It must have been incredibly painful to do himself too (I'm guessing he pulled them out before his leg was even ready for such a procedure).

That might be a good idea

I visit HN explicitly because it's not a typical tech news platform and isn't full of those typical comments.

> It is therefore hilarious (and substantive)

hilarious != substantive

It was a shallow dismissal, however you slice it. Such comments are not welcome on HN. Please don't post them.

> What's so hypocritical about you guys is you upvoted it until dang commented.

Upvotes are not king here. Just because people upvoted it does not mean it was a good comment.

> That said this has seriously shaken my confidence in the quality of discourse on HN and ruined my day.

I am confused that how your comment fared in upvotes somehow has something to do with the quality of discourse on HN. There was no discourse. The fact that you got upvotes but no responses means that despite the fact people engaged with your comment, they didn't discuss anything. There was no discourse. (until my own attempt at a meta-response)

And yes, believe it or not, all that is still shorter than what I originally wrote.

Investing is creating productivity, speculation is predicting market trends. The can both make you rich but they are different things.

PS: I chose farm land specifically because it’s value relates to it’s use as a productive asset. In Gerlach, Nevada you can get land as cheap as $157 per acre. Now, if we start running out of space for solar panels it might be worth something some day but for now it’s really not.

Like I said, I encourage you to read the book.

Actual crimes committed is what you need to look at, not who gets caught and charged. That's the part that's broken, and that's what you're using to justify the brokenness. I see this time and time again from people.

The more you patrol an area, the more crime you'll find.

All you need to do is look at the statistics. The crime rates (I don't mean arrests or charges here!) are the same or higher among whites. They simply aren't charged or harassed like minority communities are.
Just a shower thought: Why doesn't the bookstore syndicate simply offer an option for self-publishing, too, instead of complaining around?

I am not a particular fan of Amazon, but I believe that the best way to set bounds to Amazon is to offer an alternative or even something better.
I think this was actually the SoC that launched the original OLinuXino project from Olimex:
https://www.olimex.com/Products/OLinuXino/iMX233/open-source...

OLinuXino project started with iMX233 from Freescale for several reasons: this is ARM9 processor running at 454Mhz with enough power to run linux and still in handsolder friendly TQFP package, which allow hobby DIY approach. iMX233-OLinuXino-MICRO is even on 2 layer PCB and running at full speed. The maximum memory of 64MB though limited the applications with it, so we were looking around for something more powerful when A13 from Allwinner came along.

Tech is always something that can be solved.

It doesn't change the fact that AMP is mostly about Google et al. gaining control over the web.

- What you call ideological is a mere fact; google is by definition not an open source movement, and it is creating things with the primary purpose of gaining more users into their own gated ecosystem

- Google is obviously gaining control about how content is rendered, which makes it possible for google to control the monetarization

- If you ever spent some time among SEO and marketing people this is a pretty obvious conclusion, as those people usually run that part of a company

- There are very simple solutions available for making websites faster, it just so happened that AMP was a great way for Google to kill two birds with one stone, i.e. making the web faster and more googly at the same time; their incentives are just not so aligned with other parties

All in all the entire thing is similar to the attitude of Google with their plan of changing how URLs work.

The problem is not that it is in their best interest to control the web, the problem is that Google seems entirely unaware as a company that others want to have a different version of our future, and that it is entirely legitimate to not use Google solutions as a foundation of that future.

As a whole company, Google appears to be somehwat autistic to me.

"But this is good for everyone" Google says. No it isn't.

The way Google is crippling open source is by offering open source on paper, but then controlling the gateways, like forcing smartphone manufacturers to ship their version of Android. So on the leadership level it is also acting deeply hypocritical.
right. i understand why booksellers would be upset that they aren't able to stock a bestselling book. but i don't understand why they're mad at amazon and not at publishers for not working with the author.
"nihilist (e.g. "everyone who uses AMP only does so because you need it to rank high in search"),"
Why nihilist?.
We used AMP because to rank higher. Otherwise, Bootstrap does a better job.
Has the AMP-only carousel also been removed?
And what are those negative repercussions?
TL;DR: We were way too ahead of our time.

Back in 2010 I joined the founding team to build a crowd-sourced video editing platform with the goal of getting people to edit their countless hours of home movie footage into short clips they will actually watch instead of them sit on a tape or hard drive somewhere.

We built the whole platform, had the economics all worked out. Did a number of innovative things like connect to a royalty free music API, and Dropbox's API before that was ever released to the public.

In the end it failed because the average consumer did not have fast enough internet in 2010. Most people simply could not upload their files to us, even after we implemented a dropbox integration. Gigs of video files just took too long and people lost interest.

In hindsight, we should have seen that coming and started out by partnering with a digitization service that could handle various formats like tapes, and we should have also done some form of shipping raw media so that consumers wouldn't have to upload files to us. I think we would have succeeded in that case.
I was interested until I saw the article is broken up into 17 pages, and the first page was entirely fluff.
This is interesting, and I think it may explain why so many members of my own family growing up (and now) have gone to University of California schools.

This article from the NYTimes really drove it home: Top Colleges are Cheaper Than You Think (Unless You're Rich).

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/06/05/opinion/colum...

The data is very interesting. They analysis breaks down family income into different socioeconomic categories, poor, lower-middle, middle, upper-middle, affluent, and very affluent.

Well, it turns out the analysis is largely correct - there is substantial reduction in costs for all but the last two categories, "affluent" and "very affluent."

But look at the graph - it's fascinating. There's a meaningful break for every income, but very little difference between what the "Affluent" (family income $186k) and "Very Affluent" ($246k a year).

If you look at the graph, there's a big drop in what you pay below affluent, but "affluent" and "very affluent" pay roughly the same amount.

Here's the thing - that's true at publics as well as privates, but top publics max out at about half the rate of a private (the only one considered here is university of Virginia, UC schools are left off, not sure why). In other words, even if you pay full freight, there's a limiting factor to total costs. The pattern of what various economic groups pay as a percentage of max is the same for UVA and more expensive privates like the ivies, it's just that the whole thing is compressed into a 0-30K/year range instead of a 0-75k/range.

I think that this upper limit appeals immensely to people in the "affluent" but not "very affluent" category. Because they'll be paying "full costs", but are still limited in resources compared to the "very affluent" group, the actual upper limit ends up mattering a great deal.

I grew up in that economic band (affluent but not very affluent), and want to be sure I'm clear on this, "Affluent" as defined here is most definitely not an oppressive place to be from. Actually, it's harder now, in my day (grew up in the 1970s), the equivalent of affluent had no trouble buying a pleasant 3-4 br house in nice if unfashionable part of San Francisco (now: no)

But it does mean 3 kids at an ivy may be cost prohibitive, even for an "Affluent" family. UC schools (or UVA or others), on the other hand, have an upper limit (we were all in state) that makes it more possible. In short, state schools work as equalizers between the affluent and very affluent.
Well, that depends if you want it to work or not.

Wifi is regulated, by the way; the maximum power output is quite limited by the rules. This limits the effective range.

The mobile system gets to have much higher transmit power in its base stations, but they must be sited away from each other or use different bands. That allows the centrally coordinated TDMA to work.
Been using 12 on my 6s since the early betas, and it was like getting a brand phone. If it wasn't for wanting the new cameras and OLED screen, there isn't much reason for me to upgrade!
The problem is that sometimes you don’t have the luxury of being honest with people. Sometimes if you try to give the honest, nuanced picture of the situation, then you just end up making them nervous or you’ll sound ridiculous or flip-floppy in one of the ways that normal honest people often sound ridiculous. At the next election, voters’ll dump you for a Real Man who will ‘talk straight’ to them.

Relevant excerpt from the report:

"
Trading platforms that engage in proprietary trading on their own venues uniformly told
the OAG that their trading desks had no informational or other trading advantage over customers.
The OAG found that significant variation exists in the amount of trading activity
attributable to those platform operators. Circle reported that it accounted for less than one percent
of the executed volume on its platform Poloniex during the most recent time period reviewed.
BitFlyer USA indicated that its own activity accounted for approximately ten percent of the
executed volume on its platform. Another, Coinbase, disclosed that almost twenty percent of
executed volume on its platform was attributable to its own trading. "
"Law and order", "tough on crime", they're all code words. Maybe not everyone realizes, but they're simply a method to enforce racist policies and hierarchies without getting in trouble.

As long as you don't explicitly say it's about race, the Supreme Court has ruled time and again that it's okay for police to target minority communities.

This is all detailed with plenty of sources in the book I mentioned. It's truly sickening.
This is also possible with SSL. The state/government being the CA, and you being a signed entity. Public crypto fits this mold really, really, well.

American politics nowadays has little to do with anything other than cult of personality. The way we're set up exacerbates the issues as there's little incentive to work the middle of the aisle anymore where some of the best work happened. I'm a firm believer in conservative fiscal policy and liberal social policy. Good luck finding that in modern politics.

You could at least be upfront that the above are Amazon referral links that you will make a commission from if people follow the links and purchase a product.
Seriously folks... put all those cameras behind firewalls, and only grant access to them over a VPN.
Jobs wouldn't have allowed it because it is something that would at first glance reduce purchases, as it allows people to back out immediately if they click buy.

As far as design patterns for purchasing go, I would say it is probably more optimal than a simple one-click, if optimising for both the buyer and seller's interests. One-click is more optimal if you are only optimising for the seller.
There is or was a subreddit for linking to such potentially unintentionally accessible live feeds. One way to find them was to google certain terms/directory structures/page names that the viewing pages contained. Sometimes they even had panels that let you control the camera's direction.

My comment is not about ho'oponopono, it's about cultural appropriation, which is mentioned in the article but probably wasn't why the submitter found this story worthwile. Sorry for that.

Can someone help me out with a dilemma? OTOH, I can see the point that minority cultures have been, and continue to be, horribly mistreated. I can see how cultural appropriation can be hurtful in that context.

At the same time, I can't get past how the whole concept reeks of stuffy nationalism. Can you defend the right of minorities to define and protect their cultures without supporting the idea that the nation or race you are born into defines who you are?

> I absolutely hate being taken to an AMP page instead of a web page

Are you saying you hate to be taken to a page designed with AMP in mind (AMP compliant), or that you hate being taken to Google's cached version of AMP pages served through their CDN, which is not at the target site?

These are not the same things. AMP is a spec for how to design and implement your page. Google uses the specifics to cache the page and show it. People seem to think these are inextricably linked, but there are other CDNs, and this whole announcement is about giving AMP itself it's own governance.

This. Always consider what happens if you lose your investment/ what is your worst liability. Be skeptical about assuming that events (e.g. different kinds of securities crashing) are independent. That is one of the usual assumptions asset managers persuade the world and perhaps themselves that has been a factor in multiple crises. Finally, I am a big proponent of Graham's approach that the risk you can take is proportional to your time investment and focus, i.e. analysis and research you have done. Markets change. The idea is to be able to survive the russian roulette in the process. You might be able to afford some debt now, but will you be able to in the future, if e.g. your currency crashes? For instance, several profitable Turkish businesses are on the hook now, as they signed U.S. dollar based loans.

Tip1: If a position on a security appears hot now, and people commonly buy it, it is probably overvalued.

Tip2: Learn to skip opportunities. Invest in areas where you have done your research and know.

Tip3: Assume the person in front of you always has a financial interest in convincing you to buy or sell -- except if they have a fiduciary responsibility to you by law (and still pick advisors carefully).
He does also take a fair amount of heroin. That probably helped with the process.
