It's not just rich kids that benefit, and it's not just direct gifts that benefit.

If your parents live within commuting distance of London, you can probably take a very low paid job to get a rung on the ladder. Very few outgoings - no rent, no bills. £600/month for season ticket and nights out, and even on minimum wage you'll be saving £5k a year.

If your parents live in say Devon or Yorkshire, you can't do that. You'll be paying £1k a month just for rent.

Maybe the resentment (not at her personally, but at the aggregate exploitation her class exacts on those beneath) is a legitimate feeling you should not overcome but instead express at the ballot box.
You obviously have the experience level to get a job at facebook. Go do that (or some other big tech co) and you will understand why their apps are so large.

Some other candidates: linked in, twitter, uber, lyft, youtube, snapchat, gmail. Binary size is a problem issue at all of them and they would appreciate an expert such as yourself to solve it. You could get a staff engineer position and make half a million a year!
It will vary by country. In a lot of Europe and the US the content will still be illegal. In Japan it won’t be. At some point the issue is going to come down to what you want to spend manpower and money fighting, people who actually endanger and harm children, or people who use computers to emulate it. It might not be a very clear cut thing though, because I frankly wouldn’t be shocked to find out that the overlap between people who want pornography of real and simulated children is significant.

Where it might be a little more clear cut is feeding the market that clearly exists for “teen” porn, which is currently filled by 18+ actresses. I suspect a non-trivial percentage of the non-child-abusing population would consume simulated 16 year old porn without ever considering the real thing. In that case you might see some changes.

Reply edit It’s already outlawed. In the US for example pornographic drawings of children are outlawed. In the same way it’s illegal to try and sell cocaine stimulants, it’s illegal to try and sell child pornography simulations. I doubt the A.I. itself would be illegal, just its output.

Insurance is up there with penicillin in terms of it's ability to help the masses. The idea that we can avoid the 1% chance we might lose our homes to fire if we just pay a small amount has transformed society.

So we still want insurance.

But we need a way to make it more competitive.

Ultimately - even with insurance - the 'price comes home' - and most of us are very price sensitive.

If we had to pay for plans out of pocket ... and they were different prices with transparent points ... we'd see competition.

Also as you say hospitals have to be fully transparent about stuff.

If someone working on your car can bill you for labour and materials, so can doctors. This 'billing problem' is BS.

For example - hospitals should just provide many things as complementary, i.e. just part of the stay in the 'grand hotel'.

Regular doctors + nurses time should just be part of the deal, you only pay extra for surgery time.

Inexpensive things like x-rays should be part of the daily rate, not a specific charge.

Can you imagine if the hotel charged you for every coffee creamer? My god.
> Anne Frank would be a squatter.

That's absolute bullshit. Anne Frank was hidden inside an annex of her father's company, BY her father Otto Heinrich Frank, a former German officer decorated during the 1st World War. HE told her how he planned to hide her.

Nothing to do with squatting, and frankly (no pun intended) you should be ashamed of yourself for suggesting otherwise.

$201B last year, from one insurance company alone. That's how much money flows through just ONE healthcare insurance carrier in the US. JUST ONE.

For the technical crowd out here, Amazon did $177B last year in sales. Americans are spending more money on healthcare insurance on the largest healthcare insurer than they spend on retail from the largest retailer in the US.

The difference?

Amazon:

- I can freely decide to use them or not. I'm not penalized if I don't

- I know exactly how much something is going to cost and can shop around online (at competitors even)

UHC:

- If I chose a doctor out of network, I get penalized

- I have no idea what the pricing is and it can change at any moments notice
Also, certian financial decisions,like saving money to minimize college debt. (although i wonder how possible that would be in the US).
A distinction without difference. Some people can use their independent minds to disagree, debate, and then decide to defend their freedom by cleansing their country of lesser races. That's what we all fear.
The article makes excellent points.

But at the head of its concluding list,
"A good place to start is with things that compound: knowledge, relationships, and finances.", should be an altogether more important item -- health.

Without your health, all the money, knowledge, and relationships in the world will amount to little.

And health is the ultimate long game, literally playing in ltiile bits today for the ultimate goal of a long healthspan and long lifespan.

And, considering that virtually every study points to a single factor as being as close to a magic elixir as we get -- exercise . . .
After the crap he pulled by coordinating with the Russians to mess with the last elections, I'm surprised Ecuador is still providing asylum to him.

And yet if you even dare to open up the argument that government should try to encourage the types of families and behavior that show the best results for this type of childhood, you'll immediately be drowned out in ad hominem attacks. Even Obama took a lot of heat for saying dad's should help raise their kids. Never mind more seriously statically relevant approaches like waiting until after high school and marriage to have kids.
> Those 'intermediate' media companies can be purchased.

They can, yes. But we know who purchases them, and can make educated guesses towards the intent behind buying such a thing. For instance, the mass purchase by Sinclair of local TV stations in the US. We couldn't stop that from happening, but it meant that when there was a sharp shift in the news coverage those channels provided, we knew why.

> I'd argue that both Fox News & MS NBC are biased to the point of being useless for informational purposes and objective thought.

I'm not going to argue with that- like I said, the current system isn't perfect. But the likes of the NYT, BBC, WaPo, WSJ etc. do issue corrections on stories, and are held accountable, broadly, by each other and the public at large, because what they publish is public and known. By contrast, the new world we find ourselves in where posts can be advertised to specific audiences isn't public - not really - so there can't be any accountability at all.
And the GAAR also by their own admission covers rather less than you imply anyway which is why litigation is likely to be involved. The official guidance[1] specifically cites circumstances which are not (in HMRCs view) caught by it (eg nominating a different residence every month as your primary residence in order to benefit from additional reliefs which extend for longer than the month on multiple properties and effectively completely avoid capital gains tax) which you might have thought would be caught.

That garbage ponzi scheme really should just be banned.
Give her some time. Who knows, maybe she really needs time to solve some serious problem.
This is a pretty good idea. Tech giants make money in Europe paying little to no tax incorporating in Ireland, while all small to medium businesses incorporated in the UK pay the usual tax. Its simply unfair.
I predict that the porn industry will be the first industry to suffer mass unemployment due to AI.

Phase I:
Deep learning combined with realistic physics simulation will eventually replace human actors. At some point amateurs can record their movements, then use variational autoencoders to improve their features (bigger boobs, thinner waist, smooth skin) and replace professionals. This is 'Uber phase' for porn and drives down the wages.

Phase II:
Eventually AI can mimic complete scenes and adjust the 'plot' to the current state of the observer. Tight sexual biofeedback loop will form.

Phase III: The rapture of the nerds. Fully interactive VR + toolset. In the context of the Fermi paradox, Phase III is the Great Filter.

I haven't used Squash before so thank you for teaching me something new.

Both appear to be relatively similar in terms of features. Squash has a different approach as to how items are organized and probably the workflows around this organization.

Squash appears to be a Windows exe, although written in Java. Kiwi TCMS is distributed as a Docker image and is fully supported on Linux. Kiwi TCMS is written with Python and Django.

Both are open source and have online demos. For Kiwi TCMS you can register for a full-featured demo. For Squash it looks like you can use one of their pre-selected accounts.

Squash appears to have more fancier charts though.

Disclaimer: I am the project lead for Kiwi TCMS.
It's fine if you don't like it - there are things I don't like about it, but ultimately single packages can't express multi-node configurations very easily. We need something.

While I "grew up" as it were, believing in RPM, we live in a very post-distro, multi-language kind of world, and there's a need for things to glue that together. How many times have I tried to campaign against "wget tarball" as a deployment mechanism, I don't know. It's rough and yes, there's a lack of discipline in ops that needs to improve.

Immutable systems is a VERY interesting way to solve that, but it doesn't work for certain stateful things and you always need something to deploy the undercloud.

I'd encourage you to try to build your own experimental project to try to find different ways to do it, as this is the only real way that technology ever gets ahead.
I think you're probably right, but I'd be very surprised if Snap survives - they've been outplayed by Facebook and Zuckerberg is a better CEO.

If you're looking for a stock to short Snap seems like a good choice - I'd bet on failure in a few years or some sad acquisition on poor terms.

The only other tech company I'm pretty confident will fail is Magic Leap, but unfortunately they're private so hard to bet against.
One can both appreciate the arts and believe that taxpayers shouldn’t be subsidizing arts careers.
Red Hat takes over IBM
Not necessarily sure it'll work out for IBM, but the article brings up an interesting parallel.

In its previous comeback, part of its strategy was positioning itself one layer above the commodity layer. (The article says, "The actual technologies underlying the Internet were open and commoditized, which meant IBM could form a point of integration and extract profits, which is exactly what happened.")

Now with open cloud technologies aiming to make cloud providers (Amazon, MS, Google) into commodities, this new effort also shares that strategy.

Of course the other ingredients are that it must be a value-add that customers actually need and nobody else offers a better version of. But buying Redhat seems like a reasonable stab at achieving that. Overall, their strategy seems to make sense at a very high level.
It's not clear who the "like anyone else" comparison would be -- it is easy to imagine that the specifics of seeking asylum at a foreign embassy are very different than seeking asylum in the country itself.

I would assume the average government gives asylum seekers a limited amount of transition aid (in finding housing, language instruction, buying initial food), and some of this may be provided by NGOs. Any costs incurred by the government may or may not go through general spending, but I would expect leverages domestic service provision (i.e. subsidized housing exists for non-asylum seekers and is leveraged to provide some for asylum seekers). Then after the first few years of asylum I would expect the government to have basically no further obligations to the person in question.

On the other hand, Assange's living costs are wholly paid by the government of Ecuador and presumably come from the operational budget of the embassy. Also, the embassy itself is going to be physically limited in size. I don't live in London but I did live in an Embassy Row in another OECD country for a few years and many countries had embassies not much bigger than a 3 or 4 bedroom house.

I definitely agree Ecuador, conditional on granting him asylum at all, should extend to Assange the same benefits they do to other long-term asylum grantees who live in their embassies worldwide. But I suspect the set of other people in that situation is cardinality 0. That's not Assange's fault, or Ecuador's or really anyone's. It'd surely be better for everyone involved if they could fly him to territorial Ecuador. But it is what it is.
Nope. They couldn't.
I don't understand why they don't just set up a standing order.

And I'm sure I'm not the only one with a twich about having a $2000 cheque and a $334 check, rather than 2 cheques of $1167
I'm guessing most saves--besides some really old games--are probably fine on a fundamental level. But even if a save technically works, the effort it takes to find that save in your old windows filesystem, then place it in the new location in your linux filesystem is actual quite substantial, especially when you imagine doing that for an entire catalog of games that you've played over the years. And if you're relying on steam cloud saves to keep track of it then you can expect to lose the saves for many of your games when changing OS. If you're looking to retain saves, its far from a simple migration. Which is another reason why I have trouble making the switch entirely.

I have teenagers and college-age kids and I'm not surprised in the least. They openly consider Facebook to be a platform for old people.

They seem to have moved to more of a distributed social media system. That is, they don't seem to have a central place where they communicate with friends. They seem to move between texts, facetime, tumblr, instagram, phone calls (!), etc. in a fluid manner. Anything except for Facebook (which has a negative stigma these days). They don't seem to be tied down to any one platform anymore.
1. That would destroy the whole point of the plant, which was to create jobs for down-on-their-luck Wisconsites.

2. If you're not from Wisconsin, why would you move to Wisconsin? There's nothing wrong with Milwaukee, BTW. Nice city. But there are dozens of other nice low-CoL cities in the USA, many with nicer weather and many still in the Midwest.
Functional programming is always been my passion since my Lisp days. OOP itself promotes mutation thus falls ineffective for overall statement of the computation trying to be achieved.

Alright, I made the comment above to get bit attention because post about this subject before (which has fn paradigm top comment), and this video is mostly about game programming, not about patterns in general.

In game programming, mutation is inevitable because performance is vital. Whoever persuade game engine design, likely to start with OOP, then contaminate game logic with same because devs don't go extra step to have DoD like pattern for entities. You can see few popular engines holding back, notably UE4.

While it is not perfect, pretty sure companies figured out their ways out of complexity with their fiat paradigms and delivered on time. Still, components such as UI/Audio manager has been done a lot easier using OOP.

My point is, OOP is not dead; it just doesn't have to be silver bullet for every situation. In that case, dense environments such as game entities under load. Sounds better if we could just embrace combining patterns as necessary.

TL;DR; I think title of presentation is misleading, and evaluates OOP in specific use case which it falls short (game entities/systems)
It's hard for some people to be a portrait of themselves. It's much easier to reflect the world around you.

"Graft" just sounds like a restaurant with a possibly-punny or possibly-coincidental name, given its location; what's sinister about that?
The Russian diplomat would have immunity, the car is not a magic “immunity” force bubble for the occupants. Unless they grind him up and stick his remains in a diplomatic pouch, he’s gettable outside of an embassy. Diplomatic immunity doesn’t mean the police can’t pull you over and search you, it just means the diplomats in question can’t face criminal penalties as a result of what’s found.
I don't think the board has much say. The co-founders have control over all stockholder decisions and even if they were fired (which would only happen if they turned on each other) they would still exercise the same control of stockholder decisions. So I don't think the board really has any leverage...
What if people actually like those "fake" comments more than comments generated by humans?
NY Man Arrested for Cutting Wires to Red Light Cameras (2016)
People make claims about shills, bots, astroturfers, and so on, all the time, also on HN, and experience has taught me that nearly all of this is projection: seeing what you want to see, or fear to see, or some other pre-existing perception. Overwhelmingly, people are seeing patterns that they themselves are reading into the material. I really do mean overwhelmingly, at least in our little corner of the internet. I don't know whether it's different for YouTube comments but don't see why it wouldn't be.

Without some corroborating evidence, these claims don't hold any weight. It's not that they're necessarily wrong, it's that there's no way to tell. Imagination produces just the same perceptions, and there is a ton of imagination going around.

Occasionally we do find evidence, and then we can do something about it. Absent that, though, the default explanation has to be that you can simply see anything in anything, especially when emotions are involved. Note the "I fear" in the title of this submission.

What's frustrating is that users don't have access to most of the data, making it harder to look for evidence themselves. They have to rely on someone else to do it and then trust what they say. In a low-trust social climate, that's working less and less, which only fuels more imagination.
This isn't like threatening to move offices, which doesn't cost them revenue. The UK is one Amazon's largest markets. Facebook and Google both make billions of dollars in sales in the UK. They're not going to forgo that.

These discoveries remind me very much of this "discovery" from a few years ago that promised equally astonishing shortcuts to solving chemical structures. I hope it turns out better though. Our lab was understandably never able to replicate the Japanese group's work and how simple they described the "crystalline sponge" method to be, no matter how hard we tried.

Although I disagree with you, I never stated one was better then the other. All I said was that elm was the least leaky abstraction I've ever encountered. Your frustration with IO proves my point. There is a practical logic around why it was done that way, but the practicality won't be apparent until you create a huge 10 million LOC monolithic SPA with elm and compare it to the same type of app written in javascript.
Somebody semi-important in the tech industry probably tweeted about it recently.
The interesting bit here is that the exertion of control: encouraging drivers to accept rides more indiscriminately, constraints around car cleanliness and modern make, and a rider centered experience are the elements that make Uber bearable compared to Taxis.

I recently rode back from Newark Airport into New York with my girlfriend. We were tired so just grabbed a NJ cab. We were given a ticket for a 51 flat fare. What they didn’t say was that the fare didn’t include the toll or an almost 6% credit card fee. The car we took was filled with trash and it took 5 minutes for the driver to get his trunk to close. It took us about 25 minutes to get home and was about 100 altogether. Uber, Juno, or Lyft were flat about 60 not including tip. These kind of experiences were commonplace before Uber: and drivers are lobbying to get the same kind of awful regulations that kept taxis from competing toward better service everywhere.

I realize the issues with my perspective, I just don’t have much sympathy for drivers who could easily stop driving if the economics don’t make sense for them.
But I could see it being useful if you aren't the kidnapping target but others around you are - getting hit by a stray round seems like an unfortunate way to die.
Sure, you can do that too. The comment you're replying to is arguing that all these options are legitimate, and buyers are adults who can buy something that matches their investment theses.
