The point of the rates is to drive labor supply vs demand. If things are underserved raise the rates. A more complex model could be used but that had costs in processing and interfaces. Plus time vs cost trade offs could make it easier to game and make them look extra bad. Stupid tricks like trying to get there first in a desolate area charging obscene rates. A shared area up/down ticker algorithm would be harder to cheat and outliers more excusable.

The easiest solution I can see is essentially setting alert thresholds "tell me when it reaches $30/hr and I will consider it on the weekend".

This is incredibly creepy. A few months ago I realized this and was able to find some friend's profiles and see their reviews. I hate implicit sharing/suggested friends/etc in services especially non-social services. For instance, my friend is following me on a tech shopping site I use... something I have 0 interest in. I've started attaching pseudo anonymous sites to a backup email address for this reason. If I want to friend someone I'll find them.

>I'd rather someone give away $100M compared to $0 even if its peanuts for them based on their personal finance.

Yes, it's good that he has given away some money, and this money will do real good, it's important not to let this blur the focus on the real issue:

There are desperate, homeless people in this country. There are people who are refusing necessary medical treatment because they cannot "afford" healthcare. There are people who will go into crippling debt for attending higher education. Most people I know say they will never be able to afford a home because the price of rent doesn't leave any room for savings.

All of these problems can be remedied by a society deciding collectively not to allow single people to accumulate exorbitant amounts of wealth, and instead, collectively spread that money among the population who need it, democratically. There is no social benefit in padding out a Mossack-Fonseca tax-free account of dubious offshore legality so one man can attain massive political and social power. There is value, however, in using those resources to employ people in the project of tackling real, fixable social problems that other countries have figured out already. Green energy, healthcare for all, free education, job guarantees, infrastructure upgrades. It's all within the fiscal budget so long as there aren't single people, or small groups of shareholders becoming unnecessarily rich just because we've stacked an economic system in their favor.

The idea that these are "his savings" just because he amassed them under our current system is missing the perspective that this system is not immutable. It can, and has, been changed before, and can change again. It is in the process of changing in other parts of the world right now, and with good results at that.

As detailed above, it's something I've studied. So I don't think I'm making assumptions. I think I'm making inferences based on the best research and data that I'm personally aware of.

Among other things, I was Director of Community Life for The TAG Project for a time. This is an organization that serves the educational, social and emotional needs of the gifted community. We talked a lot about how brains worked, among other things.

I also founded and ran an email list for a time called Wired For Science. It was designed to serve the needs of my oldest son and members were generally a parent and child or a parent and both of their children or two parents and their child. It was a family discussion group for people living with various neurological issues, such as ASD and OCD.

We posted articles about neurological research and discussed what it means in human terms to actually live with stuff and talked about what the research could tell us about how to more effectively cope with such issues.

You are, of course, entitled to your opinion. So I guess this is where we agree to disagree and I go off and do other things.

> Democracy the denotative Ideal: rule by the people.

I thought we were talking about the core tenets of democracy, not some "denotative Ideal". The core tenet of democracy, it seems to me, is that the people have the ultimate say: they must consent to the government they live under. That does not mean the only government they could or should consent to is one with universal suffrage.

You got trapped in the car driving mode of thinking. Commuting and traffic is a necessary burden to most people. Most see automation as a way to reduce that burden by letting them spend the cognitive resources necessary for driving on something else.

The core problem is not the car, or who is driving it, but the fact that people need to spend a not insignificant amount of time traveling to and from the location or their employment.
> However other groups exist which a) present equally-convincing (to the OP) arguments

If he thinks those convincing argument exist, he should present or link to them. It doesn't make sense to link to one side and then say "equally convincing counterarguments exist".

> With multiple sets of equally-convincing arguments leading to contradictory outcomes, it is not rational to accept any one set.

The proper response to this, if you have given up on assessing the correct conclusion, would be to retain uncertainty, not, as the OP has done, exude confidence that the superintelligence arguments are wrong.
For the same reason this happens every year, Apple gets clicks.

I don't think we have good Pixel 3 estimates yet, but earlier this year Apple was selling as many iPhones in a week as Google sold Pixel 2s all year. Outside of stock analysts, no one cares how many phones Google or Samsung sell. So if you want to generate clicks, you have to link it to Apple. Remember the compromised server article from not long ago?
There's a happy medium somewhere between gamification to make the somewhat monotonous job of a checkout operator more enjoyable, and metrics-driven employment where you're peeing in the corner of an Amazon warehouse because if you drop below the equivalent of 22 items per minute you're fired without the chance for appeal.

I agree that it's not the enemy, and can at times be a useful thing to have as an ally within a healthy business relationship, but it disproportionately gives ammunition to management strategies that don't respect the human.

Increasing the highest possible price is kind of meaningless. You can look at the most expensive iPhone and max out the memory on that to reach an even higher price. For a better comparison US inflation has been ~25% since the iPhone's so:

The cheapest new iPhone is $449.99 which works out to 360$ in 2007 dollars. The cheapest original iPhone was $599 in 2007 dollars or the equivalent to ~750$ today, making them far more affordable.

What really changed is cellphone companies stopped baking in heavy phones subsidies. Now you can still pay next to nothing at purchase, you just see a separate monthly fee on every cellphone bill.

The notion of "personal profit" raised by the OP in relation to this is problematic - people just get paid by one group or another, it's just income. Why even bother with the 'personal profit' point?

A guy worked for a private entity for years.

That's it.

There's no story here.

Nobody working for the Gov. not even AG is going to be required to list all of those who paid into such entities over the past - and it only demonstrates the sad level of partisanship here that everyone should try to consider as much for this guy.

If there are some nefarious dealings then, fine, hopefully they will come to light.

Spotify – now playing
It always bothered that Spotify doesn't have an icon on menu bar; so I decided to create one. With "Spotify - now playing" you can, easily from the menu bar, see information about the current track, control the playback (previous track, pause/play, next track) and add the current track to your library or playlist.

The code and app to download it's here https://github.com/davicorreiajr/spotify-now-playing.

In my experience, they're still about frameworks mostly, they just brand themselves as Swift conferences to indicate there isn't going to be any Objective-C oriented content presented, so people don't attend with the wrong expectation.

Swift-oriented content at a conference is also going to be popular, as unlike frameworks, it affects every developer, as compared to frameworks where only a percentage may use each one.

I agree, the scale of amazon makes it nearly impossible for any type of remediation or penalty if its abused. It would hurt the consumers life far worse than anything Amazon would be interested in looking into. Identify theft for someone shopping to save the most money to help make ends meet might ruin their life, whereas the loss of business/revenue/profit by either the seller or buyer to Amazon is laughable.
The TeX program (by Donald Knuth) does this.

More precisely, the first version of the TeX program (now called TeX78 or TeX80) which was written in the SAIL programming language at Stanford was written in this way, because it was apparently the natural thing to do and lots of programs at the time were written like that. The present version (rewrite) of the TeX program (briefly called TeX82 but now just called TeX), was written in (a language/system based on) Pascal and meant to be portable for different OSes. So in addition to using the system's fork or dump/undump (if available) to snapshot the application state, it contains its own implementation of dumping all the relevant application state into a "format file", and loading from it. In fact, the dumping and undumping were traditionally done by different binaries:

INITEX -> VIRTEX -> TEX

See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13076098 where drfuchs (David Fuchs, who was Knuth's "right-hand man" during his rewrite of TeX) describes it in more detail. (Originally posted on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13073566 "The Emacs dumper dispute", and also quoted in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14140421 "Improving startup time in Atom with V8 snapshots".) See also https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/417624/installation-... for some elaboration (though it's confusing and now I realize it has at least one error).

I strongly disagree. C should is adding langauge features at a pace other languages could stand to emulate. C is stable, trusted, and supported everywhere for this very reason. Codebases should not be using extensions, and Linux is wrong to do so.
The dark web is designed to be anonymous. Long term persistence of anything that might hold details about the users of the sites are taboo in the extreme.

Since this is a hosting provider for the dark web (and one that advertises they don't do backups, logs, etc), they don't know what the content of the sites or databases involve. Keep backups of that content is an additional liability for their business.

Site owners for all hosting providers, including when you're running on clouds like AWS, should put thought into their backup strategies independently of guarantees from their provider.

For providers like AWS you will likely use their storage options for backups such as S3, but you are taking a risk especially if you're storing in the same region. Everything in this industry is a series of trade offs, you need to be aware of what trade offs you're making at any given time.
>I don't see how we have a free market without the possibility of a Jeff Bezos rising to the top.

Abolish the concept of a CEO.

If the company is run democratically, as a cooperative, where every worker has a say in how the company is run and how much everyone gets paid, there is nobody to sit at the top of the hill with the whip telling you to break your hands working for $7.50 an hour so they can scrape off and take the 30 dollars an hour of surplus value that your labor generates.
I don't see how that follows at all.

If you're implying all program languages are derived from C, that's simply false. Lisp is based on the lambda calculus and predates C, as one easy counter-example.

If you're implying that all languages run on top of C, that's also false. Theoretical Lisp Machines [0] have been envisioned which do not run C anywhere, and many languages (rust, go, etc) can be built into unikernals that run on real hardware with no C anywhere in the mix.

As far as I can tell, your statement is both pointless and wrong in even a generous interpretation of it.

> In case you haven't really read through that list I'll highlight the 2 most INSANE items there that should make any HR department dive for the pepto-bismol: Marital Status, Religion. Now, I don't know if they are warning AGAINST including those fields or encouraging including them. However, that they are items that are there at all speaks to the 'demographic' that they are targeting: complete numbskulls. Not a single person that can fog a mirror would ever include those 2 fields in a CV in the English speaking world.

Why not? There's nothing lost and only anything to gain in mentioning you're a Christian/Satanist/whatever. Tossing someone's resume on the grounds that they mention they're a Satanist is actual discrimination and the applicant would have a justifiable complaint. If anything it's a challenge-- "I dare you to throw mine away without a damn good reason."

In southern states it's incredibly common for general contractors, handymen and such to stick an ickthys on the back of their truck or include it somewhere on the side vinyl. It's an appeal to customer sentiment-- "I can trust this guy not to screw me, we're both Christians." The Jews have done similar insourcing for centuries.

I personally once went on a lunch interview for a dev position where the president and his CFO expected me to join them in saying grace before the meal. Guy had more crucifixes in his office than the Pope himself. Guarantee you they would have loved it if candidates disclosed their religious affiliation on their resume; they would not have wasted their time on me.

It's a mess but not as toxic as you're letting on.

From the hiree perspective, it's clear that many companies are over-listing requirements and it makes sense to apply if you approximately match the position but don't tick every last box in the formal requirements.

I'm not sure why companies over-list. Some think it's so they'll have a defensible reason for saying no in subjective cases, others think they are just being lazy and listing every possible thing they would like to see in the candidate.

That is the point of conferences. Meeting like minded people and having interesting conversations.
Socializing with like-minded people is a pretty valuable thing, actually. In fact I would say that it's the only reason conferences ever existed.
Worse yet ion propulsion uses positive ions. Negative ions clean the air and have beneficial effects to humans and plants. Positive ions do the opposite.

Hi James

Thanks for checking us out!

The links you found are right, but we're evolving quickly and I want to help clarify:

1) The quote from the white paper is taken from a section titled 'How do we run experiments?' and is just one example of a particular experiment to illustrate why brain-imaging is helpful in our work.

Our claim is that we make useful music, and the white paper explains our process. As for particular experiments, we run tests of sustained attention, and look at EEG, fMRI, and other relevant measures depending on the category of music being made. Doing the science properly takes time and is expensive and we're doing our best to work on new collaborations to help speed this up.

If anyone knows anyone that can help here, please send me an email at dan@brain.fm

2) We are just about to submit a paper (and are working on others). We've been working to get peer-reviewed results out to the public, and can't wait to share. This is really important to Brain.fm and myself as science is the one thing that differentiates what we are trying to do.

3) The Sleep-EEG document shows pilot results on a small number of participants. These results are promising, but we have shifted more into focus as we received support (from the NSF and others) to pursue our Focus music, which led to the papers we're about to submit. We have plans to get more funding and research in sleep for 2019.

This is part of our new rollout and new platform, but if anyone wants to take a peek, here is the new science PDF here: https://drive.google.com/file/u/2/d/1kGDOxD0bnFrncNKFdljdkCe...
