Doing Something for Your Career Besides a Basic Day Job – Possible or Not?
> Nationalization means the government owns the business, not that it runs it. Only difference is who collects the profits, Bezos or everyday people.

A distinction without a difference, owners appoint who runs it, they effectively run it.

> Norway and the other Scandy countries have high levels of public ownership and huge public sectors. Their economies run great.

Tiny economies with largely mono culture populations who align on this political ideology; that won't work here, our diversity also includes ideological diversity that would never allow this kind of program to be implemented so it's a non-starter proposal.

When a government is as ideologically split as our is, they are ineffective and bad at doing things due to the constant infighting and battling of ideologies. So no, it's not factually wrong at all, it's reality.

I'm speaking as someone who is neither a professional chef but one who has cooked homemade meals a majority of my adult life for myself and family when I say its hard.

Its hard because its not a sustainable place to put someone in to tell them they should be cooking more and then telling them to only cook the relatively limited palette presented as "entry level cooking". Probably the greatest turn off Ive ever seen to anyone aspiring to make their own meals is when they go for a month making everything themselves without ever having tasted a luxirious pan fond from the things they made because they both always played it safe and second were limited in their tooling to what they can make.

Its more endemic of a more general problem of people wanting results now, that if something doesn't result in instant success that its not for them. It took me a hundred hours of chopping and flipping pans to become good at it. If I hand a novice my knife it will take them three times longer to make larger cut diced vegetables because they have never done it before. Probably the best example is how long it takes to manage to flip omelettes out of pans without breaking them. It takes a while to do that! Its not easy!

And I recognize I'm a total amateur. I'm not some professional chef. Those guys are truly amazing. They make art out of the same tools I have. What they do is an incredible job. A hard job. It took them years to master their craft, and its disingenuous to them to say its so easy.

I just think the popular messaging of "just start cooking, its so easy if you just do only the basics"! Ends up causing way more harm than admitting that getting good at it to where you can confidently get up in the morning and not even think about eating out because you can make something you want at home if you want to is a time consuming and hard process. Sending signals about it being easy just makes someone wake up a few months down the road wondering why they still suck so much at it because everyone told them it would be so easy, but what they make to their palette still cannot compare to the diversity they want and get from eating out all the time so they stop trying. I just personally see that happen all the time in my peer group.
Houston Got Hammered by Hurricane Harvey – And Its Buildings Are Partly to Blame
By "first inaccessible ordinal" you mean epsilon_0? (Probably you mean it in the sense of the first one inaccessible by addition, multiplication and exponentiation.) Because there is also a "first recursively inaccessible ordinal", which is much larger (also, not recursive: it's used to construct, by collapsing, the ordinal of Delta12-CA+BI, which is also much larger though recursive).
Unfortunately, this is not the case.
I can't find info about it being "reader-compatible". According to a brief note in wikipedia, it has a different metadata format from blu-ray, so would it at least need different firmware in the drive?

This looks interesting, however I can't agree that everyone should be doing continuous profiling.

I wish I could always run a profiler continuously on production, but there are some areas where the overhead is just unacceptable (eg. low latency applications for high frequency trading).
Of course they do. How could you be so naive?

> talk about reinforcing stereotypes about Indiana

Because I think the author is unfairly JUDGING people claiming they're 'judging' homeless people? I imagine most of the population of the United States has never had an interaction with someone they would describe as homeless.

Not everyone is judging people for being homeless, most just don't have context for actual homelesness. The bulk of their encounters are people hanging outside of gas stations "hey man, ran out of gas, laid off, kids and wife back in car, dog died, trying to get to dying grandma, could you spare 20$" or the people with a cardboard sign "homeless need money" working traffic lights day after day after day after day.

People judge what they see, most people don't see the kind of homelessness that downtown San Francisco has, or NYC has. Most of the country is suburban or rural.

What I'm saying in this thread is, the author seems to be incredibly myopic using his own limited experience as a way to judge others for judging.

Always assume it’s the lowest common denominator. Sunflower oil is more expensive so it won’t be that, if it was they would say.
I'm relatively certain that I (in the U.S.) have never purchased any oil labeled as "vegetable" oil that gave any indication it may contain palm oil.

Is there oil labeled as "vegetable oil" that contains palm oil? Or is there another reason you think it should be avoided?
Somehow dealing with neutron radiation seems like the lesser problem between it and confining fusing plasma at 100 million K. You make it sound like there's literally nothing to be done about neutron radiation, but something tells me there's probably material scientists interesting in working on that.

> Obsidian was founded by a lot of the people who worked on Fallout 1 and 2

To be fair, Fallout 2 (my entry to the series, and a game I still love) is famous for being utterly bug-ridden and full of incomplete/broken quests. Disappearing car, anyone? :P

By distinguishing between funding to homeless people, and funding to at risk but still homed people? Also by making sure we are counting people correctly (if 10 people are all temporarily homeless at some point during the use of the funding, and then homed, we had 10 homeless people not 0).

Fatal Call of Duty Swatter Pleads Guilty to 51 Charges
Nintendo seems to treat all of their online services as an addition to their product. This appears in a few ways:

- No integrated voice chat for Switch, an existing mobile device is used instead

- Significant delay between product launch and paid online service availability

- System upgrades included on-cart for the system so you're not in a situation where you need a system update but don't have online access so you can't play the game you just put in your system

- DLC is actually bonus content, not an integral part of the game split off about 50% through development and stuffed behind a paywall to drive pre-order upgrades

- "Day one DLC"/"On disc/cart DLC" not the primary upsell mode on the Switch for Nintendo developed games - instead, free content packs and paid content packs are slowly released when they're done

Sony and Microsoft seem to treat online services as an integral part of their product, make money when a developer has to publish a patch (after the first submitted patch), and seem to encourage a ridiculous amount of microtransaction DLC (example: There are a ton of DLC packs for LittleBigPlanet 3, including packs of three Marvel, DC, and cartoon characters, all priced at about what a child would get for allowance in a week, Sony taking a 20%-30% of each sold, naturally).

As a result, it seems that Nintendo really does their level best to release games without showstopping bugs because they aren't as reliant on the online component to patch their games. I remember there being a bug in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (on the Wii) that would cause you to lose your progress if you triggered it[1]. Nintendo apologized, issued updated discs, and put up a Wii channel that would fix your save data if it was corrupted by this bug.

Yes, I could see iOS devices doing this too, since they already are taking multiple exposures with live photos all the time. Just boost the exposure parameter on one or two and you get the same result.

The point cloud in the "portrait camera" can also be used to map and determine whats there too and the software could decide to draw and brighten it.

What I like about it is that iOS hardware does keep up, complementing your observations about the limitations of Google's solutions.
Funny that they're printed using Datacard SD360. These ID's can be duplicated with ease.

I had a 2G surf back in 2008. The main flaw was there was no easy way to update Firefox so you were stuck with version 2.0. And soon XP netbooks came out and took the momentum out of Linux ones.
I wasn't aware that any distribution (besides Tor Browser) was building Firefox (or anything really) reproducibly.

There's debian's https://reproducible-builds.org/ effort, but I thought that wasn't making much progress lately, nor was it deployed.

Could you provide more info on what distro you're using, or how they're doing this?
I'm curious to know if you can speak to how minority populations are discussed or addressed in a historical or modern context? I understand that there is something like 50+ recognized minority groups in China.
> As an aside, there are a bunch of other really cool Jaccard index fingerprinting methods out there that are asymptotically better even than HyperMinHash. But, they aren't as easy to work with and lack some of the other nice properties of MinHash.

Would you be willing to list out these better methods and detail their pros / cons versus MinHash? It would be super helpful for those of us who are students in this field.

> The technology Daquin and colleagues learned about in Shenzhen underpinned what would become China’s “Social Credit System.” The still-evolving system, part of which uses “smart citizen cards” developed by ZTE, grades citizens based on behavior including financial solvency and political activity. Good behavior can earn citizens discounts on utilities or loans. Bad marks can get them banned from public transport or their kids blocked from top schools.
While I tend to avoid w3schools in general, according to https://www.w3fools.com/ it's gotten better over time.
By the way, an interesting story:

When Sun (?) wanted to implement their Unix with paging on the 68000 they had a problem: If you access a memory page that has been swapped out to disk, the OS has to (1) load the page from disk to RAM and (2) let the CPU repeat the instruction that caused the memory access. But the last step could not be properly done on the 68000 because it did not store its internal state completely when an (address) error happened (this was fixed in the 68010).

Their solution: Run two 68000 in parallel on the same code, one of them delayed by one instruction. When the first CPU triggers the page fault, the system can stop the second CPU before it reaches the instruction that caused the fault.
Yeah, I am referring to Spadina East to Jarvis.

The Neuroscience of Hate Speech
We almost went to war in 1983 - the political sloganeering by Reagan adminstration combined with the paranoia on the Soviet side (their double agents inside the West reported Able Archer 83 as an exercise but the Soviets interpreted the intel) made a military exercise for NATO appear to be the start of a first strike preparation.

I can’t help but feel that posting this in a HN comment when they’re showing off the site isn’t exactly responsible disclosure.
Am I the only one who reads this and gets the takeaway of: "Journalist realizes he was on the wrong side of defending a special interest group against the greater good via lack of due diligence, tries to backpedal and paint himself in a positive light via 'learnings'"

I think I'd be less cynical if they had done less to bury the lede deep in the midst of the article, and not once mention "due diligence," let alone as the crux or conclusion that I took as the real Root Cause here.

To me this isn't a story about AI. This is "just another" story of how readily public decision making can be swayed by biased special interests and an uninformed media/electorate.

The author should be praised for revisiting the topic, being upfront about their change in stance and trying to close the loop on it; but I think I am seeing the problem space from a very different angle than they are.
> ok, but you’ll have to kill me first’.

Bang, you're dead.

The US romanticises revolution on the idea that every revolution will be like the US war of Independence, which is a really bad guide to how they tend to go in practice. People would do better to look at violence in South America as an example.

It's not, it is half that size. 96GB is only a thing when you have both the install and the game files on the disk (but then the install is deleted).
Google could have done that as well.

But they didn't
Yeah, I'm with you. I'm really confused. Even the linked story from the first sentence, which I hoped would shed some light on why this is even happening, or what the legal status is or the history, has nothing.

You'd think if you were against this as a policy, you'd explain some of this history, which can't be good. But I guess these are tricky political issues to even talk about (which is part of the problem, IMHO).

Re the $500 per month friend; 1 kitchen/dining, bathroom, 1 separate bedroom, no living room. So nothing shared. Not sure the exact square meters, but it is very small.

The secret to the cheap price is simple: the building was built in the 1970s (ancient by Tokyo standards).

Edit: no need to take my word for it. A quick search on suumo.jp will show the abundance of Tokyo apartments available for under $900 (~¥100k).

Tokyo housing is very affordable.

Well, Fallout 76 is multiplayer, so that complicates things heavily in terms of bugs and polish compared to those other titles you listed.

As well, this is Bethesda's first multiplayer game, so expect it to have a lot more bugs than your typical Bethesda launch.
I can't speek for the parent poster. I don't feel comfortable giving money, so instead I offer to get them something at a local restaraunt, or try to give them some of my food if I have it on me.

In some (but not all) circumstances, I've been told to "f!ck off" and "suck a c!ck" becaue they want money, presumably for drugs/alcohol/etc.

Again this is my experience. Your mileage may vary.
Apple has had delta app updating since iOS 6 and I know that Steam also does this. The real issue becomes a combination of, 1. How fast is your internet connection. 2. How fast is your HDD to read the newly downloaded data and patch the existing file. (When I used to have my steam games/windows on an HDD this took forever.)
Never tried to rent in Tokyo, but I can imagine the prices are astronomical in any decent areas.

So HN is upset that Venezuela has a national ID card which can be used to apply for government services, can be used for mobile payments, and the government has a "database" (in scare quotes) which lists the political party of the citizens.

Man, you guys are going to be really upset when you find out about the NSA and FBI.

If we had a press release like "Amazon announces mobile payments card with integration into government services", you guys would eat that up, right? "Mr. Bezos said the card would allow holders to easily apply for government programs such as food stamps."
That's the only precaution. I thought about adding an air filter inside the enclosure but it's overkill. If it's 100% air sealed you don't smell anything while it's printing, and if the printer has finished printing it only takes a few minutes for the smell inside to dissipate enough. I'm sure I'm still getting some exposure but it is a more reasonable amount.
Even after reading the article I'm not sure what it teaches us about AI, rather:

* if you make a fair choice, it'll appear to screw over previously privileged people.

* just because it's an optimal solution doesn't mean it's a reasonable one

* actually talk to people about their needs

I agree, there is a lot of content tied up in Flash, and while some of it will never be possible without plugins or something of equivalent power (due to a requirement for direct network access/udp), the vast majority of historically important Flash content could be packaged with an in-browser runtime.
Never underestimate the influence of ballot stuffing in "free" elections. It happens everywhere, even in the US.

This just in from a few days ago: Palm Beach County.

The county’s decade-old ballot-counting machines """overheated""" and gave """incorrect totals""", forcing the county to restart its recount of about 175,000 early votes., supervisor of Elections Susan Bucher said Tuesday night. The department has flown in """mechanics""" to repair the machines.

* Modern computers don't need mechanics when they overheat. The computer will automatically shut itself off if it gets too hot in order to save itself. All you have to is cool the computer down. That's something even an idiot could do. *

A few excerpts from the Wikipedia page of the voting machine we use in the USA, "Smartmatic":

After receiving funds "from private investors"[11] which included Jorge Massa Dustou,[16] one of the richest individuals in Venezuela,[17] the company then began to expand rapidly.

Smartmatic then established its headquarters in Boca Raton, Florida with only seven employees. Bizta was awarded a $150,000 "loan" from Marieta Maarroui de Bolívar – wife of the then-Chavista governor Didalco Bolívar – who was president of FONCREI, the Venezuelan government's organization dedicated to industrial funding. Smartmatic also received an additional $200,000 loan from the Chávez government. The deal with Bizta required the Venezuelan government to own 28% of Smartmatic and placed Venezuela's Head of the Council of Ministers and advisor to Hugo Chávez,[32] Omar Montilla, on Smartmatic's board of directors. After it was reported that the Venezuelan government had been involved with funding and managing Mugica's Bizta for over two years, Smartmatic quickly repaid Bizta's "loan" a month before the election.[29] A Venezuelan government propaganda organization, the Venezuela Information Office, also released a "fact sheet" about Smartmatic, defending the company from allegations at the time.[5]

They arrived that way... but they didn't remain that way. For more than a decade, they have systematically undermined the ability of the Venezuelan people to un-elect them. The last two elections could easily be labelled "non-free".
