Huh? People from well paid positions often end up in a strange situation and having more trouble navigating welfare options they qualify for. They also aren't first picks for fields that don't require their skill set.
Google has relatively few ways to actually give them money directly for software and media. There's Google Apps (assuming you aren't a grandfathered free customer from back when it was free), and I guess YouTube Red, and, um.... is there any other way to actually pay money to Google for services rendered? I honestly can't think of another option.

(I'm ignoring their hardware here because of course that's not free, and I don't think it's even intended to be a significant source of revenue anyway)
That is cool. But the point stands that public (to all) and private (to designated recipients) messages are "on the record" and can forever be proven to be made by someone that held your private key at the time?

So if I say: "let's fight racism!" and you later decide to collaborate with a (now) racist government - you could prove (not merely allege) that I should go to the gulag?

Furthermore, anything you can get off Amazon is proportionally cheaper. An iPhone XS is expensive when you're making Midwest salaries, but not so much when you're on a San Francisco payroll. A car doesn't cost much more in SF than it does in Iowa, so as a percentage of your take-home salary it's actually far cheaper.
Eyles has written a book Sunburst and Luminary: An Apollo Memoir, https://www.amazon.com/Sunburst-Luminary-Apollo-Don-Eyles/dp..., published earlier this year which recounts his role in designing and building much of the software in the Apollo guidance computer.

Relevant, SpankBang is using machine learning (a system named BangBrain) to classify positions at scenes allowing you to skip to them.

I'm glad you found it interesting. As you can see, it's still here to be enjoyed.

The problem is that generic topics like "do we have free will" frequently balloon into large discussions that crowd out the more specific topic at hand. If we didn't moderate HN this way, HN threads would consist mostly of the same generic discussions repeated over and over. I'm pretty sure the community wouldn't agree that it "produces negative value" to prevent that from happening, even though we don't always make the right calls.

People have been writing this, but I'm curious what they mean, as there is no single legal "Utility" classification that could be put on something like google or facebook.

I didn't mean to imply intelligence was a large factor, it need not be. There are thousands of factors, some more important than others. Some are even in direct conflict (intelligence is in fact in direct conflict with not needing too much energy to survive hard times - even while potentially providing more energy for those hard times). What humans have found successful doesn't say anything about about what any other animal will/should find successful.
Since when does the government get to police ideological speech, or complain about "bias"?

Policing ideological speech: Laws against incitement. Fact: There are also laws about curbing private monopoly control of certain kinds of media in a given area.

Government complaining about bias: Civil rights laws. Equal Opportunity Employment.

When the actions of both powerful government organizations and powerful companies start to infringe on the speech of constituents, then the representatives elected to that government have taken action in the past.

Google could in principle make its results insanely left-leaning and the first amendment should protect them.

This has already happened. I don't think the first amendment would necessarily protect them. There is already a precedent for government to curb monopoly power in media.

They must be very careful not to let the narrative become "we don't bias our results, we swear!"

If "they" is Google, then the bird has already flown the coop in this case.

Their position should be a very firm "don't tell us what to fcking do."*

Should other companies start saying the same? Maybe having far less government would be far better across the board. When one concentrates power, someone figures out a way to abuse it. This applies as much to Google as it does to government.

EDIT: No such thing as "Hate speech laws."

Word from the experienced: you knew they weren't paying attention when you turned the key, ride like it. It's what has helped me avoid motorcycle-car collisions for over 35 years. The only thing I've hurt riding motorcycles is my ass. Bicycles, OTOH, I've been hurt myself and (yup) had a few friends die.

But motorcycles still are not as safe as cars, which still aren't as safe as riding the bus, which isn't as safe as staying home. Decide for yourself where you want to be on the risk tree.
In my social circle, it's not all that uncommon for it to be a purely financial decision. One pair of friends, I didn't find out they got legally married until much later, when it came up incidentally in a conversation about filing taxes. And I was no more offended about it than I'd be about them not keeping me up to date on whether they itemize or take the standard deduction, or deciding not to invite me along for a mortgage refinance.

I don't know if it's boomers treating divorce as a recreational sport, or if it's the whole 90's/00's DOMA subplot in the story of marriage in the US, or something else entirely, or all of the above. But, at some point, the idea that "love == government licensure" just stopped seeming reasonable.

I think it's possible that Lorber is misreading and misrepresenting the CT scan, and the actual state of the cortex is very different than what we are being shown.

These cases are extremely interesting, and any high-impact journal would immediately accept a quantitative MRI report or the simplest fMRI study on such a patient (if it were from a reputable source).

This would make the cover of Nature or Science mags, and would capture the attention of the entire neuroscience community. Yet as interesting as they are, none of these existing case studies conform to the standards of modern neuroscience reporting.
I just want to say, as an outside observer, that your comments throughout this thread have been awful. You consistently miss other peoples’ point, pick fights, shift the goalposts, and rely on logical fallacies. The people responding to you, while flawed, generally have done so with good faith reasoning and citations.

You seem really out of touch with both the space industry and the social dynamics of this conversation.

For those who weren't there to remember, the concept of Applets, or applications that ran in a web browser and didn't need an operating system to run, was apparently terrifying to Microsoft. Sun's senior management exploited that terror blunt the invasion of Windows desktops in Sun's enterprise accounts. So many complex technical issues resolved with the test "will it scare/attenuate Microsoft?" rather than "Is this what the language/system should be?"

There's nothing special about the cache hierarchy. It's just one more thing that can be reasoned about using mathematics. If you care about cache locality, you can write down the semantics of an optimizing compiler and prove that this compiler uses the cache hierarchy in an optimal way. Why would that be impossible?

Not only is it possible, but it might even be easier in high-level languages. For example, the argument has even been made that the importance of cache locality is really an argument in favor of higher-level functional languages.

But again, with respect to TLA+, this is all a red herring and completely misses the point. The more important point re: TLA+ is the GIGO/correctness problem. I don't give a damn how cache-efficient my algorithm is if it's not even computing the correct results!

I apologise for misreading your comment. I read it as speaking about Google in particular because of the first line:

>Google search results and news absolutely have a bias.

That, and the context of this post, "Google CEO... To meet with top GOP lawmakers..." made me believe we were talking about Google.

I think "technology is biased" is an interesting discussion, depending on definitions of technology, but given the context I'd prefer to focus on Google: do you believe Google search results and news are biased, and if so, is this a belief you support with evidence that I could also learn about, or is it more due to your general "technology is biased" philosophy?

Why was I downvoted for asking a question ?
It was a major release in terms of features and platform architecture, but it was not in terms of adoption. Project jigsaw at this moment is a blocker for upgrade from Java 8 - majority of developers will move from it only when it sees the ecosystem ready for that step. Now it's not - due to plenty of major libraries and tools that didn't even start the migration or still have "alpha" in their version numbers.

A cross-cultural perspective: influence of burdens and companionship on walking
I see your point. There's a subtle assumption in what I said that was probably unclear, so I'll try to explain.

Generic discussions, especially generic flamewars, lead to the same things being said over and over. These topics are important and people feel very strongly about them, and because their passions are so engaged, they stride into the threads with tried-and-true weapons (talking points, prepared statements, and so on) to smite their enemies with. The enemy responds in kind, and off into battle we go.

In addition to being violent by internet standards, such discussions are also predictable. That's where the point about off-topicness comes in. Predictability is what this site exists to avoid; its core value is intellectual curiosity (see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html), and that lives at the opposite end of the topic spectrum. So when I say that an argument like this is off topic, I mean it's off topic for Hacker News as a whole, even if it's related to the story at hand.

They key word there is merely. The government can still punish you for your other actions. For instance, if you use your free speech rights to brag that you're dumping a pollutant into a river, which is unregulated and therefore legal, and the scrutiny you invited with your speech leads the government learn that you're also drug dealer, they can still prosecute you.
Reminds me of the time when LCD monitors were just taking over. The software team had budgeted and gotten approval for nice new development system along with a large LCD monitor. As we tried to place the order, the IT manager gets hold and makes a big fuss about it. Given that the CEO even approved it, it caught us off guard. Best we could tell she was butt hurt for us getting LCD monitors before their team did.
It's possible but pretty unlikely. The capital buffers being introduced are about 1% of Danish banks' balance sheets, and it's likely that the capital buffer for this was previously non-zero (e.g. likely 0.25% or 0.5%). So an increase of 0.5% or 0.75%.

And it's worth keeping in mind that a lot of banks, for governance reasons, will already have been holding in excess of the regulatory requirement. So it's not as if most of the banks will have to come up with this money suddenly - it'll already be there and available.

That's not to say that it's not a large amount of money in absolute terms, but relatively speaking if they were to reduce their loan origination for the year they have to come up with the money be something like 2-3% they'd be totally fine. That's not exactly going to kill the economy.

Netflix famously hits those $400,000 type levels with total compensation, as do Facebook and Google.

You can earn $300k to $500k in AI for example. And that's not just in Silicon Valley, Google is paying that in Britain as well. [1]

For 2016, Juniper Networks had a median total compensation of $157,000 ($135k median base salary). Emphasis that that was just the median for their employees. You can imagine what the top 10% of their engineers are earning. I mention Juniper because they never come up in these discussions, there are a lot of tech companies paying extremely high total compensation figures in the bay area.

VMWare's median compensation was $152,000 for 2016. So again, imagine what they're paying the top 10% of their engineers. Not much of a stretch to guess that a lot of them are earning $300k to $400k in total comp.
