From the original paper:

>Analysing the experiment under this presumption, we find that one agent, upon observing a particular measurement outcome, must conclude that another agent has predicted the opposite outcome with certainty. The agents’ conclusions, although all derived within quantum theory, are thus inconsistent. This indicates that quantum theory cannot be extrapolated to complex systems, at least not in a straightforward manner.

It really sounds to me that what they're saying is that some phenomena can be described multiple ways. And in particular, it is likely to explain phenomena consistently as X in one setting and Y in another.

This seems akin to the concept of two strings (A and B) being hashed to the same value; the creator of the hash had one value (A) and an observer has a rainbow table that believes the value is different (B) and both are right, but the observer is not able to understand the creator's intention.

Is this analogy roughly correct? And if so, why is this so darn surprising?
This can't actually be the reason -- music in particular is subject to a variety of compulsory license schemes for which "fair compensation" is legally defined, and the copyright holder does not have the ability to prevent someone from covering / broadcasting / etc. their song.

That's great supplementary information. I guess I left out a step because I was worrying about the realities of shooting narrative, where people who appear to be sitting opposite (or in some other spatial relationship to) each other on screen may actually be differently oriented, not not even in the same location at the same time, through the magic of editing. My early experiments with ambisonic recording indicated that if sound sources weren't positioned consistently during shooting the editing and mixing turned out to be nightmarish, so I stuck with using surround recording to get nice room tones and then prioritizing the mono recordings of the actors' performances for all but the simplest scenes.

Your workflow sounds very interesting and at this low cost I definitely want to give it a whirl, thank you!

This area of Northern New York is very economically depressed, and it's interesting to see some of the businesses that set up shop there, or set up their supply chains to draw from that region. They often promise lots of jobs, but few deliver.

Chobani was one of the few that has helped the economy (through support for the local dairy industry, see https://magicvalley.com/news/local/chobani-not-a-windfall-fo...) but others such as the large-scale wind farms across the region use hundreds of workers from elsewhere to build and maintain the turbines, and don't have many permanent local jobs (http://northcountrynow.com/news/hopkinton-wind-advisory-boar...)

The New York Times should have dug into the claims from the Bitcoin miners about job creation ("Coinmint told state officials it would eventually employ 150 people in Massena") as it looks like (based on the descriptions of Coinmint's existing ops) there are only a few people needed to manage what they already have, they are not committing to any large-scale building projects, and much of the mining gear is imported.

Local news orgs have more reporting about the bitcoin miners and the impact on the region:

Incidentally, this area is quite beautiful and cheap to live and run a business in. In many of these small cities you can buy a really nice house for $100,000-$200,000. It's about two hours south of Ottawa, a bit further to Montreal and Syracuse, and includes the northern part of the Adirondacks as well as the St. Lawrence River, Lake Ontario, and Lake Champlain region. The college town of St. Lawrence University is Canton, located in St. Lawrence county, and there are state colleges in Potsdam and Plattsburgh. A few cities have set up economic development zones and incentives for companies to relocate there including Ogdensburg, which sits next to one of the bridges to Canada, and I believe Watertown NY, as well.
In that case I agree with you,except to say "your platform isn't supported" is user-unfriendly.

>less of the money end up in the hands of middlemen

This is the deceit of the whole system though. This system isn't just about "middlemen" extracting value. The _artists themselves_ directly profit from the multi-tier selling system. A performer like Bieber or Adelle is actually directly selling large blocks of premium seats directly to ticket brokers ("scalpers") _at a premium over face value already_.

This story seems to have it backwards: well-rounded people train happier dogs.

Classic “tail wags the dog” reporting here, IMHO.
But it’s really not. Workable that is. The exclusive control of copies throws a huuuge wrench in the machinery.

Just in the copy providing department I still consistently run in to the situation where there is no legal means for me to enjoy certain albums, tv-series, movies, games or software.

But that’s just the problem with the actually legal copies. I find it even more distressing that some of the best works I want to enjoy are illigal to begin with due to the authors infringig of the exclusive right of some longe abandoned work.

And that’s just my experience. Considering the resources and suffering that goes into maintaining this state of affairs just boggles the mind.

"Nextgen"AV would not have caught this. AV is still AV and looking at executables and binaries. Exploiting a vulnerability does not fit that bill. This incident had nothing to do with a 'virus'. Now many tools that include AV, say Crowdstrike, may have caught this...but AV is on the low-end of the hierarchy of needs when it comes securing your assets, especially servers. Much more so for Linux. AV is more of an end-user issue where they want to download files and execute them.
> for various sizes of venue there are only so many in a city, even fewer that are correct for your show, and that are available.

"Correct for your show" is what I'm talking about. It's realative based on what your goals are. If you want to make sure fans get cheap tickets, you make sure supply isn't too far under demand. That can be adding a date, or playing a larger venue. That's risky, because if you misjudge demand, you might actually lose money (based on venue minimum costs).

So, artists and promoters like to ensure they are sold out whenever possible. To achieve this, they play it conservative, but that leaves value on the table. Brokers capitalize on this. If the artist or promoter was more willing to increase supply and take that risk, fans would benefit. Usually, they aren't. Sometimes, they are. Kid Rock and Garth Brooks are notable here. Garth Brookes will play a venue three days in a row, twice a day. Kid Rock might just book 6-7 days.

We full ass, never half ass :-P. Also, nice try suggesting we get only a subset of users who care about ad blocking -- our main win vs. Chrome is speed, 2-8x faster on top news/media sites on mobile, and correlated lower data and battery costs.

Your negativity aside, the test has not been run to completion where it matters, in the market. I keep noping out of YouTube Red or TV or whatever it's called, because Brave blocks all ads there and (with forthcoming work to enable playback controls in various settings including cars) easily beats the pretty-terrible YouTube mobile app.

The idea of charging for Brave that you lead with occurred to us, but browsers and even non-corrupt ad blockers are free, so it looks like a high hill to climb. Perhaps with the slicker video controls and integration work, but anyway, glad we got past the assertion about "miniscule" revenue to users. In my experience, paying users beats charging them :-D.
Something I don't often hear mentioned is auditory surveillance. An array of highly sensitive 3D microphones with sophisticated processing seems like it could completely destroy most remaining privacy that we have.

>The concerns are part of a broader battle over the enormous carbon footprint of Bitcoin mining, which on a global scale uses as much energy as a medium-sized country.

>But the iconic American corporations that abandoned plants in Massena left behind the precious resource that drew them here in the first place: abundant, cheap electricity flowing from a dam in the St. Lawrence River.

So the source of the power a hydroelectric dam. That's about as low of GHG per kWh as you're going to get. "Ce qu'on voit et ce qu'on ne voit pas". If they ban these miners, like was done in some Canadian provinces, they'll potentially move to an area with higher GHG per kWh. Since mining is more location agnostic than other production services, it's natural that it be located in economically remote but low-GHG, power/energy rich locations.
I, too, would be very interested to find a Postgres-based replacement for Elasticsearch.

Specifically replacing ELK by Postgres-Kibana.

Requirements for that:

* Events are (timestamp, {arbitrarily nested JSON object})
* Filtering by timestamp must be fast
* Full-text search on the object is required
* Exact constraints on all object keys must be fast
* It should be possible to define indices on the object's fields so that WHERE clauses are fast
* Counting the number of results should be fast, or at least have fast reasonably accurate estimates
* Support typical Kibana searches and filters

I have tried so far to implement Kibana's access patterns on Postgres, and got quite far, but never got past the problem of https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Slow_Counting, which essentially means postgres must scan the whole table if you write a WHERE clause, even when using indices, because it has to double-check whether the returned rows weren't actually deleted.
You still extend trust - in this case to the RISC-V foundation. (We're not even scratching the surface on the fact that the Coq proofs do not, IIUC, cover side channels)

At some point, you have to trust somebody - "build from first principles" is really only available for extremely well-funded players.

Also: "the specification must be out-of-synch with software expectations somehow". I see the hardware world hasn't changed at all :)
Yes. But it's not the artists who are in control. It's the event promoters, yes? That is, the band names it's price. A promoter books the band, picks the venue, markets the event, and sets the ticket price. If the tickets are underpriced it's the event promoter who is getting hurt the most.
This is gravely concerning to me.

Privacy is a fundamental human right, and it's needed to fight unjust laws and practice civil disobedience in a safe and comfortable way.

If we had today's surveillance capabilities in the 70's, it would have been impossible for the LGBTQ community to achieve the societal acceptance they now have!

Like democracy, it's the worst system to have except for literally any other system we've tried.

Isn't being able to reliably and precisely predict anything is just about building a sufficiently precise model of the system? So, if we could build a sufficiently precise model of the world we live in wouldn't it also "automate science"? In fact, some people say our universe and we ourselves actually are such a model already.

And although it may be impossible to model the whole universe with model scientists in it, I'm rather certain it is going to possible at some point to build an artificial brain that is going to be a model of an extremely smart human additionally enhanced with direct interface to huge databases and computational powers this way being able to figure out almost anything swiftly making an extremely resourceful automatic scientist.
I think there's less of that happening, and more of either agents on behalf of the artists are selling directly on the exchanges, or there's a profit sharing agreement with select brokers. Whether there's a difference between those two things is up to you to decide. But yes, often large chunks of inventory seem to never become available on the primary market, for whatever the reason.
>There is no pay gap if you control for occupation and experience.

The old 75-80 cents on the dollar wage gap that some people still cite (including this article) drops drastically once correcting for occupation and experience, but women still earn less then men even when doing the same job at the same company. You can click through the link in the article to get that data. [1]

I love the split personality of HN.

This is no surprise. This is the low hanging fruit. And economies that are already quite advanced (have outsourced the more mechanical work to developing countries) are at less risk.

Perhaps a silly example, but imagine people whose job it was to answer arithmetic queries: "What is 47 + 1.5?" Any modern human who couldn't be bothered with doing that in their head would use a readily available calculator, even if that was just an address bar in their browser.

Clearly, the arithmetic people would lose their jobs to technology. There's no creativity to their work; it is easily programmed.

This applies to any job. If your job is to vacuum a floor, then eventually there will be some version of an iRobot that can do it just as well or better.

Humans have immense potential, depending on how you choose to measure it. Maybe not all that potential is marketable, but most of it is currently not outsource-able to AI or robotics. Eventually, in the internet-connected world, if you want to remain relevant as a human, you'll need to exercise some of your talents that cannot be reasonably approximated by a computer. Obviously you'll stop playing chess for money... and you'll stop doing other tasks that robots or specialized hardware can do.
How does one build the web version of something using Electron? ;)
First come first serve doesn't work for most concerts and live sporting events because the true market value, meaning the rate at which "the market" will bear a price-point and still relatively easily sell out all the supply (seats), or at least enough to cover costs for the venue/act/promoter, is well above what is printed on the physical ticket as "market value." I would guess that Symphony tickets on the secondary market simply don't fetch enough _margin_ to justify the type of extensive secondary inventory sales infrastructure that pop concerts and pro sports games do. You're starting to see this change though, with NYC broadway at least, with shows like Hamilton and The Importance of Being Earnest fetching just as large secondary market margins as any pop concert.

If you want data to illustrate this point, there's an article on The Ringer site a few years back that was written by a guy who was the CEO of ticketmaster for several years. He said "If you add up the face value for every seat in the venue, that total number is _less_ than what most popular artists are paid out for that show in just the artist appearance fee." This should show you how fake the entire idea of "face value" is...
It's definitely illegal to discriminate on those grounds in the UK (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/equality-act-2010-guidance).

There are exceptions like modelling or acting where roles where there could be reasonable reasons for being gender-specific but not for the tech and public sector jobs described in the article.

Given the way issues like this overlap with the European Convention on Human Rights I would expect it to be very similar across Europe (certainly within the EU).
To be fair, they usually mean that it’s rare for rich and connected people to get jailed, not that it’s literally impossible.

The one exception to this rule is rich people who screw over other rich people. Arguably Skilling falls under this rule, as does Bernie Madoff.

> But it’s really not. Workable that is. The exclusive control of copies throws a huuuge wrench in the machinery.

Not really (at least, not in addressing lucasmullens' point). I'm making a movie or an ad. I think your song would be just perfect for it. You won't let me use it on terms that I consider reasonable. Well, there's more than one song that would be (approximately) perfect there. I'll see if their copyright holders are more reasonable.

If you absolutely have to have Song X in your movie, then your point is correct. But I assert that, most of the time, that isn't the case. And behold, now there's a market.

Prioritize the important stuff and delegate away the things you know you need to do but don't have time to (or are lower in priority).
The importance of music and the importance of software is worlds apart. Not to mention there's enough music already made to cover everyone's need. Software is nowhere near that.
Judging by the abstract, this looks like a non-trivial piece of philosophy.
No. There are two arguments. Whether music should be copyrightable at all is settled (though a fringe continues to argue it). That means that the second argument, whether 100-year copyright terms are reasonable, is in fact the main argument at this time.

The last line: Work less hours :)

You wont remember the project, hell you'll probably forget the job. But the little snippets of things that happen in between working hours will stick with you. They are in effect your life.

Of course, working less in the future often times entails working more now. Not in the retire-early sense, which realistically only a few can hope to achieve. But in finding employment that supports and doesn't compromise your life outside of it.
Yes. Fanduel should have to deal with the consequences of their results. If an individual accidentally had more of an illicit substance on them than was legally allowed, they go to jail. If you accidentally choke someone to death during consensual play, there are consequences. If Fanduel hasn't found it important enough to have checks in place for their odds, literally the most important part of their business, then there are consequences. The problem with today's society is that people in power are divorced from the consequences of their actions, while those without power tend to have the harshest version of the consequences thrown at them. How many times have copyright holders illegally made false claims with no action taken against them? The point stands if we don't have consequences for our actions, we're not a country of laws and all laws should be invalid.
