Heh... despite seeing them on literally every email I've responded to, so possibly hundreds of times, I have never been okay with sending a derpy "That sounds great!" email, so I never realized they don't automatically send it.

It's amazing that they managed to fail at discoverability despite putting the controls right in front of me.
Probably two reasons for that:

1.) Unless you change livestyle after, it would work the same way as diet - meaning your chance to bounce back to previous weight would be very high.

2.) It would likely lead to many rescue needs. You need to know what you are doing and you need to be reasonably fit before you attempt it. Else you end up in situation where you cant continue due to lack of strength, being frozen and hurt by cold. Whether getting sick or frostbite.

Specifically, in the mountains in the winter every year multiple people dies because he underestimates the situation or lack knowledge. Yes it can be done safely, but you need to know what you are doing.
Please explain why this is the case. Should we instead not have people in a position of overseeing ethics for a new and potentially harmful technology?

You could set the whole directory tree to no-execute via ACLs.

Anyway, more interoperability with the native environment is a good thing. Right now browsers are an alien implant in every operating system that can't communicate with anything else.
They do, that's what VEVO is for the music industry.

The problem is copyright law allows for copyright of every different aspect of a performance, recording, composition, rendition, video, audio, translation, etc, all to be owned by different people/groups/organizations (and it's different for TV/Radio, even for the same audio recording too).

The glaring deficiency is the copyright system is held together by ducttape and gum, and was never built for a system that allowed perfect reproductions to be transmitted instantaneously. It was designed for selling sheet music to 18th century orchestras.

> What you won't see is any appreciation or consideration or even interest in the reason for the existence of copyright

Sure you will. In the US, at least, copyright exists for the sole stated purpose of encouraging the production of more works by temporarily granting some exclusive rights over those works. In other words, the public wants both more works and a rich public domain; that's a tradeoff. Now, how much exclusivity, for how long, do you need to grant to generate more than enough revenue to justify almost any work ever produced? What incremental additional works will be produced by the umpteenth new expansion of copyright?

As you said:
> Personally, I believe copyright of maybe 5 years on movies, 10 on music

If that, yes. And no more than 5 years on software, either, possibly less.

> I think if people were less entrenched in this mindset, you'd see far more ideas for better solutions being generated in the comment.

I've seen many good ideas, not least of which: make copyright shorter (5-10 years), and permit all non-commercial usage from day 1, limiting only commercial use for that duration. The problem is not in having ideas, it's in getting those ideas adopted.

> Case in point: I think you could make an ad blocker that blocks 100% of ads that are annoying, dangerous, or tracking you, yet let unobtrusive ads pass. Something like that would likely block maybe 20% of ads

You have a very different conception of what "annoying" means than many users of adblockers.

If my adblocker is blocking less than 100% of ads, it has a bug and will be fixed or replaced.
Much better order is to loose weight first, train a bit to gain endurance, then try some one-day hikes and only then try multi day hike.
There's lots of reasons.

1 - google is the only company (bing to a much much lesser extent) with access to primary search data. If you believe that the original pagerank algorithm is too easy to fool and that it has been massively deprioritized in favor of gathering intent data created by user actions on google, this makes them a natural monopoly. Any other attempt to gather the data to make intent targeting work will be hindered by the lack of consumer touch points.

2 - see consumer touch points above -- very few companies have them. Eg the new eprivacy law (depending on which draft -- there are conflicts between Council / Commission / Parliament), will be a virtual monopoly guarantee for FB / Google / yahoo. One of the features is that company 1 can't ask for consent on behalf of company 2, so, again, only companies with an end-user touch point can get legitimate consent. Thus all 3rd party adtech dies. This seems in direct conflict with pro-competition rules in the EU.

3 - Adsense also becomes much harder to compete against. Google does intent extraction -- buttressed by the data from search -- better than anyone else. You can, of course, attempt to compete algorithmically, but you lack the data.

4 - GA allows to extract behavior post click from within the site. No one else has this. You don't even really need personal data for this to be amazingly useful; merely aggregate is very powerful.

> What do you mean? I save a lot of time in web development using solutions created by others.

How much time do you lose keeping track of those solutions and their dependencies?

The JS world has probably the hugest fragmentation problem in software history. Every level in the stack is rapidly evolving, constantly spawning multiple half-baked alternative solutions to the same problems. I think GP's point is simply that if similar things are happening in NASA on small level and are considered a problem, then switching to a technology ecosystem that is a living embodiment of those issues isn't going to help.
Most wars end up being sparked by violations of sanctity, even if the underlying factors that drive them are economic. Some group considers an idea sacred, and their adversaries threaten to profane that idea. Because their belief is sacred, they will go to any length, and any cost, to protect it.

Think of Catholicism vs. Protestantism in the European Wars of Religion. The injustice of slavery vs. Southern honor in the American Civil War. Nationalism and alliances in WW1. The superiority of the Aryan Race in Nazi Germany. Capitalism vs. communism in the Cold War and conflicts (Korea, Cuba, Vietnam, Central America) within it.

Nazism was fundamentally irrational (and its irrationality led directly to the downfall of Nazi Germany), but that didn't stop it from plunging the whole world into war.

There are plenty of similar flash points in the world today. The current U.S. government includes numerous people for whom the idea of the U.S. as a Christian country is sacred - hell, the acting Attorney General just said that he could not support secular judicial nominees. Economic development (to the extent that it enriches the secular, heathen, and heretical) is part of the problem there, as it profanes the Christian moral fabric of America. Similarly, the progressive left in the U.S. has their own sacred idea: equality.
Economic development, to them, is a net negative to the extent that it benefits entrenched corporations or privileged groups.
Interesting that they’re not selling AMP in there. They most likely didnt dare
For Google, Facebook and others, as a companies, best users to maximize long-term revenue are people that have income and choose to spend all their disposable income (and thus generate ad and lead conversion profits). As such, Google should show/suggest/autoplay search results/ads/YouTube videos/smart replies/assistant answers/News/Google Now cards to increase life-time likelihood for the given user to become working professional and mindless spender.

For specific hypothetical example, it's not hard to imagine, that training users to prefer things like "experiences" or entertainment that need to be re-purchased is better that promoting physical goods, like board games or bicycles.

> Gabor-wavelet-style decomposition of the retinal image

Well, that's one theory. But I think it will turn out to be a lot more complex than that. One thing that I haven't seen anyone pay much attention to is feature detectors in the time domain, which we clearly have. We notice movement as a fundamental feature. Our movement detectors can actually be triggered by static images [1]. One of the ways we distinguish dogs from cats (I believe) is by the way they move. It would be a very interesting experiment to use CGI to make a dog move like a cat and vice versa and see how those are perceived.

I'm having technical difficulties and not readily finding a heat map. Trulia used to have one, but may have discontinued it.

However, if you look at a heat map of housing prices, the entire SF Bay Area is very expensive. This is likely in part because what you are proposing is already how SF handles things: Just fob the housing issue off onto neighboring cities, not my problem. We just do crazy high paid jobs and fuck you when it comes to housing.

It's part of why their homeless problem is so very bad that I have read articles about how much visitors to the city express horror to the hotel staff and even indicate "I don't ever want to come back here again!" So the odds are good that there is a real cost involved in acting like this is not their problem.

I left California to find more affordable housing. I was homeless in California for some years and willing to move to find affordable housing. I moved from San Diego County to Fresno, which has much more affordable housing than most of California. I've done a lot of research into housing issues for many years, starting well before I became homeless because I wanted to be an urban planner before life got in the way. I've also done a lot of research into housing options within California in specific before I threw my hands up and left the state.

California has about 25% of the nation's homeless population while having only about 12% of the nation's overall population. Surveys suggest that about 90% of the homeless were residents of California prior to ending up on the street. They have more people sleeping rough than is typical of other states and, IIRC, they have more chronic homeless.

There are lots of problems that grow out of that. There is a nationwide spike in Hepatitis, which can be deadly, and can be potentially traced to San Diego as its origin and potentially to the homeless population there. The CDC has kept that on the down low, so most people aren't aware of this spike and the death's associated with it.

I think San Francisco and California are both making big, big mistakes in acting like this is not really a thing they need to buckle down and resolve. California is importing rich people, exporting poor people and dealing with increasingly intense crises of various sorts.

I left. There probably isn't a week that goes by where I don't say (or hear from one of my sons) "Thank god, we moved to civilization. Life is so much better here." So it isn't really my problem anymore. But I think folks there who are refusing to really deal with this in some kind of effective manner are idiots, cutting their own throats.

I just Googled "Samsung worker conditions". Seems like the United Nations, China Labor Watch, USD Today, The Guardian, and many others don't agree with your assertions that Samsung are saints. Then there's the corruption and press manipulation in South Korea. Surely not the worst company in the world, but absolutely not the best.
>As of now the US have the greatest army, but if let’s say China were to prepare for it for enough time in a somewhat stealthy way, couldn’t it bring the USA into a long and dirty foght ?

Well, this is one of the reasons a Great War is unlikely - how are you going to do this? Even if you build things up slowly, you still have to store them somewhere. You have to train people. There is no way to create a military force capable of fighting a Great War in today's age without it being obvious.

Which isn't to say that build up can't happen - it's just not going to be a surprise to anyone.
Which is a good thing and should be kept that way. If you want to interoperate, release a program.

I've been looking for something new in the mouse world, so this is fairly exciting. My real beef that I see just from looking at photos, is that the buttons are glossy.

Regarding your first two points, this is a long shot but maybe it will help: I had a very similar problem with LastPass where password fields in the LastPass UI kept being pre-filled with my master password, even in places where there seemingly should never be pre-filled. It turned out that I had accidentally enabled my web browser's autofill/password manager functionality, and every time I visited the LastPass extension's internal URL, my browser was autofilling every password field with the password that my browser saved.

Once I turned off the password manager feature of my browser (I didn't need it anyway since I was using LastPass) it solved the problem.

Ah, I don't mean to reject the possibility that minds are uncomputable. Perhaps they are!

It does seem likely that ideal minds would be (for reasons like those you describe).

I just think I should require a rather strong argument to conclude that they are, instead of remaining non-commital.
Perhaps it’s a bit cynical, but I believe it’s all nonsense. Anyone put in charge of a software project is going to read some books on managing software if he’s not trash. There, he will learn the pitfalls of estimates and etc. and use them in a way that makes sense. Perhaps it’s again cynical, but my assumption is that if people want something within an overly short time-period, they want a piece of shit that meets the minimum interpretation of requirements, which may be possible in their time period.
Eh, there is some functional equivalence. Less than 5% of videos on YouTube have more than 10,000 views [0]. That means the vast majority of videos are functionally not published. YouTube won't promote any of those videos. They won't show up in on the Home page, let alone the Trending page. They're very unlikely to show up in recommended videos. Unless you're looking for that specific person or a very narrow topic, you're not going to find these channels, let alone these videos.

Okay, I will try to explain it to the downvoter. Suppose we have a lambda like this:

(let ((counter 0))
(lambda () (incf counter))

When we evaluate this we get a function. It contains the captured lexical environment. If we call that function, the captured counter variable mutates.

Now suppose we had a copy-function library function. I would expect it that if we apply it to this function, we get an object which carries a duplicate of the lexical environment. This means it has its own instance of counter. If we call the original function, the copied function's counter stays the same and vice versa.

I don't remember seeing such a copy-function in any Lisp dialect; there isn't one in ANSI CL. It seems it might be useful, same as the ability to copy a structure or OOP object.
The issue is it can only identify things it already knows are copyrighted. What happens when a new song comes out? Does the uploader actually own it or not?

It's impossible to say until after someone claims a copyright violation, at which point it might already be too late.

No participant is incentivized to alter the cake if they agree that it's value is already equally split in 3.

The person making the trim is also not incentivized to make it 1.5/0.5, because they don't get first choice of those slices.

When dividing cake, if one slice is bigger it may be because there is less frosting on it when frosting is desirable, or it might be because the slicer thought they could trick the others. Then when someone contests this division it's either because their preferences don't match, or they are correctly calling out the trick.

In short, the algorithm is meant to deal with differing preferences and incentivized lying.
