If nothing else, modeling our existing behavior in this way is a great use case for ML. As it allows us to "fast forward" and thus--hopefully!--identify our flaws based on modeled iterations.
Well that was a hell of a read. I'd go as far as to say that anybody who's checking into this thread should read it.

It just kept escalating.

I don't know how common it is to cross the border illegally to do it, but foreign nationals do come to the US specifically for the purpose of having children. It's called "birth tourism": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birth_tourism#Birth_(and_abort...

A Chinese woman could have additional reason to do so as a means of circumventing China's "two child" policy.

Again - to be clear, I have no idea how common this is in practice, much less how common it is for Chinese nationals to enter the US illegally for this purpose or if it's applicable to the people in the article.
And those countries would not engage in surveillance if the US did not? You create a 2 country elementary payoff matrix for that game and tell everyone what the Nash equilibrium is.

Mercury is a promising logic programming language that's under development https://github.com/Mercury-Language/mercury

Tutorial available here (the "Ralph Becket Murcury tutorial" pdf) http://mercurylang.org/documentation/documentation.html
You can look up countless instances of Social Science professors and students saying unironically that for instance superior Male performance in sports is entirely due to social upbringing. These people are overwhelmingly on the left politically. James Damore was fired from Google for publishing a relatively straightforward reading of sexual difference research. So yes it is a taboo.

I don't think your example demonstrates my point at all. Accepting that there are sex differences has little to do with acceptance of Trans people.
I think it's also a cultural thing. Americans do _not_ like public transit. They'll tolerate it maybe (though they will complain about how taxes are too high, the transit itself costs too much, and how it's inconvenient).

If you are successful, if you're happy, you own a car and you drive. As a example, if you've lived in LA just imagine how humorous it would be if a successful person you meet at a party or dinner said "yup, I took the bus to get here".

Only the low income and undesirables are forced into using public transit. So station locations, and transportation that feeds into the public network will always be second or third tier.

In Japan they have the ridership and society generally thinks good thoughts about their public transit.
Once this goes through we'll gather together all the old textbooks and have a good ol' fashioned book burning! OH YEAH PROGRESS!

Before asking this note the following: The most senior engineer(s) should be on the least important projects. That leaves the second best to lead the important things thus growing to be the best. It also means that anyone on any project can interrupt without worry about the cost to flow: if their interruptions mean the senior engineer didn't get their project done nobody cares. In the end you are more useful as a 10x programmer who never writes code, but allows a dozen 7x programmers perform at a 9x level than if you were heads down as a lone 10x programmer.

The above is sometimes my only comfort...
Its industry terminology I think. I've seen it used at some companies I worked at with IC development.
We're talking about human beings who are neglected by civic institutions and are often mentally ill, using affordable transportation to access food they need to survive. Yeah, great way to show that people who oppose these aren't heartless.
I mean I could provide statistical data and show trends etc, but that's a lot of effort. I am presuming that people here will have kept up on major breaches to realize that point. That might be a really bad assumption but I know there are some really smart infosec people on hacker news.

Yes, social events do not always follow the same pattern (see Trump election), but the odds in this case are very much on the side of Facebook's breach being the same as others before it.

Modern societies are going to have a very real problem to grapple with as this replacement goes from newsworthy to the norm. This could result in significant worker displacement with massive bottom-line ROI for companies in the next decade or two, particularly as minimum wages rise.

I'm not of the opinion that this automation will create an equal number of jobs for the ones they replace. Even if they do, it is unlikely those new positions will employ the same degree of skilled worker.

Assuming a net unskilled job reduction due to automation in a couple of decades, what happens as this becomes pervasive in a society?
No Need to Reinvent the Wheel: How Easy It Is to Build with RISC-V – Rambus
(from Toyosu wikipedia page)

> In 1937, the area of Toyosu was created on reclaimed land.

> Toyosu was chosen in 2001 by former Governor of Tokyo Shintarō Ishihara for relocating Tsukiji fish market, but there was a longstanding controversy over this plan due to the toxic contamination of the chosen relocation area. The move to Toyosu Market was planned to have taken place in November 2016, in preparation for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Part of the plan was to retain a retail market, roughly a quarter of the current operation, in Tsukiji.

> On 31 August 2016, the Tsukiji fish market move was indefinitely postponed. The Tsukiji fish market was caught in a controversy with the shop owners surrounding the former fish market rioting as they would lose their job if the fish market transfers its location.

> Opening of the fish market was subsequently rescheduled for 11 October 2018 despite concerns about pollution.
What has he been right about?

Our industry seems to be doing just fine despite all the Doomsday crap he says is always around the corner.
"He identified experts who worked for these companies and recruited them to travel to China, often initially under the guise of asking them to deliver a university presentation. Xu and others paid the experts’ travel costs and provided stipends."

And that seems to be the end of the allegation. I'm wondering, "And then what?"

Were the experts bribed or blackmailed? It seems like quite a stretch to be charged with such a serious crime for convincing experts to give a lecture.
This is a more accurate summary. It was reported in Fear by Bob Woodward.

“Let’s fucking kill him! Let’s go in. Let’s kill the fucking lot of them,” Trump said, according to Woodward.

Mattis reportedly assured Trump that he would look into it, but then told a senior aide: “We’re not going to do any of that. We’re going to be much more measured.”

At Mattis’s direction, national security officials allegedly drew up options for a more conventional response, including the cruise missile strike on a Syrian military installation that Trump eventually approved.

You are not thinking outside of the box enough for smart contracts. For highly volatile data like stock prices, interest rates, crypto prices etc etc ... you wont be using Token Curated Registries or prediction markets. APIs will feed into a decentralized network of oracles running on secure enclaves with full collateralization... aka Chainlink.

Intel's advantage over AMD has been it's (1) manufacturing technology and (2) architecture, especially since Sandy Bridge.

It turns out that Intel's architecture cheated by skipping privilege checks during speculation, while AMD designs did the correct thing. SMT turns out to be a security nightmare, but in any event AMD now offers the same capability. Either way SMT is another lost advantage.

That leaves Intel's process technology and vertical integration. If it outsources manufacturing it will have effectively ceded these completely, meaning Intel will have lost all of its competitive advantages.

I suppose Intel's human capital might be a competitive advantage, but their missteps cast serious doubt on that.
I assume GP meant "MBP" means "MacBook Pro" so, not Linux either.
As another professional audio engineer, I've done it, and to do it I tuned in on 'personality' aspects of the sound, knowing that the rough frequency response would be pretty much taken care of.

The degradation is much like what you'd get running the mix through a generic digital EQ imposing some subtle but high-order filters, or going through the mix buss of an unexceptional DAW that's doing a lot of bit-shuffling to get to the output, perhaps with some unnecessary gain changes.

These are shitty if you have seriously good monitoring and care about ambience and soundstage depth and subtle emotional cues or shades of texture. Sooo… not exactly 'OMG, super obvious on earbuds through iTunes with the aural exciters on'. That stuff will wreck the sound MUCH worse than -v0 mp3, no argument there.

If you're working on gear where you'd be able to tell the difference, and you have experience with listening for the specific objectionable qualities of lossy audio, then you can hear the lossy audio even at its best.

Otherwise, the cure for bad sounding mp3s is to do 'em 320K and call it a day. Throwing more bits at it does definitely help. It's not hard to get mp3 over the threshold where other parts of the playback system harm the sound worse.

Honestly I think much of the problem lies here, the definitions people are using for Gender and Sex have shifted and for many, on the right certainly, they mean the same thing while they are distinct to the left.

However that doesn't excuse arguments like men being physically stronger and faster solely due to upbringing and not biology.
Interesting how this is repeating itself these days with bikes versus pedestrians. Bicycles are increasingly being ridden in crosswalks and sidewalks at high speed, often without safe clearance from pedestrians. And yet, if you as a pedestrian object to having your life risked this way, you're sure to be shouted down as a rube, enemy of the planet, or whatever.

As always, the victors write the history books.

Browser vendors have previously expressed their trust in the Symantec ecosystem. After Symantec repeatedly failed to hold up their promises, the vendors are now revoking the trust they had placed in Symantec ecosystem. Browser vendors can no longer tell their users they are connecting to a secured and validated website because of this.

To accommodate Symantec customers, browser vendors have given people (a lot of) time to change certificates, trusting the certs even though the party that signed them was no longer trusted. This placed users at somewhat of a risk, but made possible a grace period.

Now that grace period is nearly over. The companies at fault, who gave out unverifiable certificates, have not contacted all of their customers or their customers have not acted on their messages. Either way, this is not the problem of web browser vendors. End users trust their browsers to warn them if their safe connection is fishy and browsers will soon actually show those warnings.

If you disagree and want to ignore the recommendations of Google and Mozilla, feel free to disable the Symantec distrust flag or to use a different browser that still accepts the bad certificates. That is your choice and the choice of any end user. However, those who don't understand the underlying problem continue to rely on the safety their browser software provides, as they should. If a small website can no longer display simple information because of Symantic not being trustworthy, that website should take it up with Symantec. And it's not as if the certificate wouldn't have to be replaced within about a year from now anyway; there's no extra costs or effort required, just earlier costs.

Let's not forget that it is the web browsers that gave Symantec a business model to take away in the first place. If from the beginning non-commercial key distributions would have been set up (public keys over DNSSEC or something like that) this would not be a problem and the whole HTTPS certificate market wouldn't even exist. Sure, X509 certificates are used for other usages as well, but not as prominently as for web browsing.

I dropped Linux for Windows with WSL a while ago and I've had no regrets. Just about everything that I use day-to-day works great, and even things that require a graphical display work fine with Xming [1]. For the rare occasions that WSL isn't compatible with something I can just boot up a VM, but I haven't needed to do so in a long time.

Also, with Windows 10 Pro you get access to group policy which gives decent control over updates. I haven't had an unwanted restart since I sorted out my settings, and extra features I don't want are not on my computer (like Candy Crush...). You also generally don't have to worry about incompatibility of your tools with Windows which is a great pleasure - unlike Linux where I often had to deal with Wine, weird UI bugs, and screen display issues. And chocolatey [2] exists, which handles updates very smoothly.

The main thing I miss from Linux is hotkey configurations. I used i3 with polybar and rofi and as a result rarely needed to touch my mouse. You can't do quite the same with Windows, but I've thrown together some code that emulates most of what I want (media hotkeys and rofi window switching) so it hasn't been a big pain point.

I don't know if it's some setting I did a while ago, but I use the full-screen start menu (with no tiles - I just use it to search with a pretty background) and I have never seen an ad.

How was Hoffman able to forge letters that were supposedly 100+ years old? Wouldn't modern materials dating techniques reveal the fraud immediately?
I learned the basics of Prolog, really liked the idea, but found it rather impractical for complex problems. IMO, there needs to be a stronger separation between rule descriptions and search algorithm description/manipulation. I want to be able to specify an infinitely recursive rule, but avoid falling down the rabbit hole while running queries. Cuts could also be moved into this "search algorithm description".

Taiwan is hurt indirectly. Taiwan has invested heavily on the mainland China and manufactures there.

Many Chinese products exported to US have very low Chinese value added. Chinese manufacturer buys Taiwanese, Japanese or US made components, assembles them and sell them to the US.

For many high-tech products, Chinese value added may be just 20% of the price of the product. Chinese tariffs hit everyone in the value chain. Even the US.
