The census is used to determine the allotment of House representatives for each state, and distribute funds to various federal programs by state or region. This probably requires more accurate and detailed demographic information than hashes would provide.

Also, names are not unique, therefore hashes of names would also not be unique. And how would you verify the hashes belong to actual people?

That's ridiculous. Every antisemite eats, does that make eating antisemitic? Most people on the right don't like when Soros pays for protestors. 75% of Orthodox Jews support Trump. Most of whom I assume disagree with Soros. Are they also antisemitic?

‘Magic-angle’ graphene is an unconventional superconductor
The internet has democratised music production and allowed us to have so much quality, self-published music that you'd never get in the past.

Technology has made music production so much easier and higher quality than before. I don't know much about non-electronic music, but I reckon for under a grand you could set up a half decent recording studio in your garage, and it's so much easier with computers to mix and master tracks than it was in previous decades.

I can find amazing techno tracks on Soundcloud and Beatport that are produced by some guy in his bedroom in Berlin that only a few hundred people in the world have also found.

Just the other day I found a track on Soundcloud that was produced in Melbourne back in 1997 that only ever had a single release of a few hundred CDs. I managed to track down the producer on Facebook and get a high quality .wav download of it. There's no way that kind of obscure stuff would've found its way to me pre-internet.

Unfortunately for hotel owners, suicidal guests—since they know they will not be paying their bill—tend to choose large and luxurious rooms for their last night on earth.

I'm quite open about my struggles with being suicidal due to overwhelming personal problems. I find myself rather appalled to read the above. I cannot fathom intentionally and completely gratuitously dumping on other people like that as my final act.

I have every sympathy for "I don't want to suffer anymore. Let me out of this miserable life that seems like it can't possibly ever get any better."

I have no sympathy for "And, on my way out, let me actively fuck over other people who are innocent bystanders that have nothing to do with why I'm suicidal."

I say this as someone who used to have really dramatic fantasies (in my teens) of using my suicide as a final message to the world concerning why I was saying "Goodbye, cruel world!"

I always wondered why math notation hasn't been replaced by code.

While math notations can be interpreted in different ways, code is going to give an unambiguous result.

Why don't mathematicians, especially those writing in machine learning or computer science domains, do this? Is it just a problem of agreeing on a common language?

i generally find that working in a team makes me more productive. pair-programming especially, makes it much easier to focus, and not be tempted to do something else every time i get stuck. (pair-programming also helps to avoid getting stuck in the first place)

but the key point is accountability to another person.

that person doesn't have to be a boss. it can be an intern. just the fact that i have someone watching me work, because they want to learn about my job, is helpful. and i want to show them how to do the work too.

several years ago, i joined an online incubator called n-reduce.
each team, or individual that joined the service was grouped with a few others, and we reported weekly to each other what we were doing via private videos posted on youtube.
the goal and effect was the same. i had to set my own goals, and work at my own pace, but i was accountable to someone.

or, you know how you make an extra effort to clean your home when you expect guests? -> accountability.

bossasaservice looks like it could be very helpful. however i would like to structure it a bit different:

more like scrum, with daily standups and maybe sprints. so that once in a while i list all my tasks and goals that i want to accomplish over the next period, and quick daily reports on how i am doing, with the service helping me note if i am on track or fall behind. they could join the sprint-planning giving suggestions on priorities. or, someone else could help with that.

a scrum-master for hire, so to speak.

This is a fiefdom issue I think - there doesn't seem to be an overall product strategy at G that creates a kind of coherence, it's loose, at best. It's a hard thing to do, but if either of the founders or Sundar made it a priority, it would happen. Few companies are good at this, even Apple seems odd, I get confused sometimes between iTunes, AppStore, iCloud yada yada.
Helicopter cash? So you just randomly give people stacks of cash? Sounds ridiculous and dangerous. Why not just let people continue using cash? Problem solved, if mobile payment systems are hacked and go down, people will still have some emergency cash in their wallet and will be fine for couple of days until gov fixes the hack.
This doesnt violate OPs idea. You are free to say whatever you want, you just have to disclose it.
Normally companies retire products because they are lightly used or have fallen far behind competition. Google kills stuff on whims. Google Reader, url shortner, code search, Picasa - all these are terrible examples of things that got shutdown.

All these has real consequences. Other day I was looking to buy a movie and it was available on Amazon as well as YouTube, I went to Amazon because YouTube feels much more likely to shutdown it’s movie business on a whim while Amazon will likely fight out to last moment. Same goes for buying music.

We actually did that several years ago in our data viz lab. All of the (willing) lab members tracked their location data and one student developed a way to track and visualize co-occurrences of people over time [1].

Another ways to visualize this kind of information is to use space time cube maps, which turn the time axis into the z-axis for trajectory visualization; GeoTime[2] is the most well known implementation of it AFAIK.

The most interesting thing going on in that respect with Chinese companies such as Alibaba, is that the government is forcing public companies to accept board members from the government. They've also taken nominal stakes in the companies as cover. [1][2][3]

There was endless speculation [4][5] that Jack Ma was forced out of power at Alibaba, by the government over concerns about the tech giants becoming too central to the Chinese economy and communications. Jack Ma was probably the most powerful person in China next to Xi.

I don't see anyone else talking about it. Around January 2018 it came out that China had hacked the African Union headquarters which it had built as a gift to the AU. [1] More recently, reports have come out that implicate Huawei in that hack. [2] There is a law in China that says citizens and corporations are required to cooperate with its intelligence services. While there has been no strong evidence against Huawei released publicly, the logic is that China asked for a backdoor and that Huawei had to comply.

>Ms Cave said Huawei had been implicated in alleged cyber theft of data from the African Union’s Ethiopia headquarters. According to multiple reports this year, data was transferred every night from the building for five years. “There’s no proof that Huawei was asked to participate or turn a blind eye to the breach, but we know that there was a breach and Huawei was the key provider,’’ Ms Cave said.

I do, and if you are building a large app, I would recommend against using serverless. At least the library, since it has a limit of about 20 endpoints unmodified.
How about finding multiple hits per file? Tell me how many matches there are in each file, PLEASE. I should not have to click into the match to know there's more than one match in that file. I shouls also be able to have a view that shows me every match (a la grep/ag). If I need to search, I pull down the repo, index it quickly with ag and do the search. That's really unacceptable, in my eyes, when the basic search is there already.
Carl Sagan also owned a 911 in orange, this adds to the man being a Porsche fan.

This 914 has been unlucky in that it has not been loved since the man passed on. It has been loved but not made it to be a devoted project. I think that it deserves to be fully restored and shown. It would do well if it was in Europe, at events such as Goodwood, not on the track, as an exhibit.

Heritage is really important with the Goodwood type of scene. Those Ferraris (and Porsches) that are worth untold millions do get raced, crashed and repaired. They are not garage queens and if they were taken out of circulation and made into garage queens then they would not command the sums they do. Legends like the McLaren F1 are legendary because you can see them get sent round the track at Silverstone, if they didn't do that then the cars would become antiques, of interest only to museums.

Clearly Carl Sagan was not from the world of motorsport, however, if this 914 was fixed up properly and restored to stock then I think it would provide a lot of pleasure for the owner and have resale value far above what a 914 normally commands. I don't think you would be able to shaft Elon Musk $2.5 million for it, however he did pay $20 million for a tweet not so long ago. I think that he would make it worth your while to restore it to stock, as if Carl Sagan had just driven it back from the lab.

Most cars from the last century aren't any good when it comes to that key metric of safety. They are all antiques so it doesn't matter that this 914 has less horses in it than today's cheapest family saloons. It was a competitor to the FIAT X1/9, those British MGB efforts and other gutless efforts of the era.

Although period 911s are of value none of them are special. Everyone has seen a 911 already and they all look the same to non-petrol-heads. The 914 is of an entirely different body shape and even people who think they know cars will take a second look at a 914 due to the rarity of them.

Who the heck is Jeff Gordon? People don't say that about Carl Sagan.

The US government, with its own hacking of other countries as revealed by Snowden, its strategic rivalry with China, and its history of false intelligence such as WMD in Iraq, isn’t a trustworthy source to evaluate Huawei’s security.

Huawei has completely opened its source code and hardware to several governments, including UK, Canada and Germany, for security testing. Their findings are much more informative and objective.

Best security doesn’t come from paranoia of certain countries. It comes from evidence based and rigorous testing and research.

Yes, Buffett is liberal and has donated to political candidates, but Soros funds a number of left-wing organizations, PACs, and movements. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_projects_supported_by_...

I have no issue with these organizations. I support many of them, and am left-wing and Jewish myself, but it's not a smear to say he's a significant backer of the causes of the left in the same way the Koch brothers are significant backers of the causes of the libertarian-right.

Buffett isn't nearly as influential as Soros or the Koch brothers in terms of political spending. He has spent and is continuing to spend a lot on philanthropy, but not specifically to ideologically and overtly left-wing organizations, other than the kinds of donations almost all rich people make (for several reasons), like ones to prominent political candidates and the main two political parties.

The difference is when the US government does something nasty, it's relatively transparent and accountable. It is not the case for the China government.
> It's believable that Huawei as awful security and backdoors, but that is just as bad as Cisco

Given “Cisco [has previosuly] revealed parts of [an] independent expert's report produced for [a] case which proved that Huawei had stolen Cisco code and directly copied it into their products,” that wouldn’t be surprising.

At the end of the day, you have a company with strong links (down to its founder) to the military of an adversarial dictatorship and which has been proven to have violated international sanctions with Iran, North Korea, Syria and Venezuela. This isn’t a “beyond reasonable doubt” criminal case. It’s a reasonable weighing of odds determination.

There is a very specific constitutional definition of treason. Another class of crime should likely be used.

Section 3.
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.

The Congress shall have power to declare the punishment of treason, but no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood, or forfeiture except during the life of the person attainted.

I don't understand this posturing "we are not selling for weapons". Google is protected by the US army which use weapons. They are also protected by people who are willing to die for them using those weapons. So how exactly does it make Google more moral when they don't want to help those people? Do they want others to do the dirty work but not make their own hands dirty? It is akin to someone who buys a stake but will not supply software to butchers because they kill animals. Hypocrisy and virtue signalling of the worst kind.
Um, VMWare sold in 2003 for USD$635m. Add nearly 15 years worth of inflation (plus current tech hype) and I’d say that was very much a successful “unicorn”. They were just recovering from the dot come bubble then. So valuations weren’t as lofty as many have been in recent years.

> you can say any company operating in a specific country works under the influence of that government

This collapses the continuum of the rule of law into a false binary. Americans and foreigners alike can successfully challenge the U.S. government in independent courts. None of those elements exist in China.

Most companies at least track frequencies. We used to think that deidentified was enough, but apparently it’s not that hard to figure out who a person is if you know that much about them. (Especially if you have relatives.)

There’s been a lot of work with homeomorphic encryption, but I think that the new avenue of research using sketches to provide a sense of anonymity while preserving comparability.
It's this kind of logic: it depends on whether you believe the US is as big of a security or IP-theft threat to you as China is. Your premise relies on the US == China. If that isn't the case, your premise collapses in one form or another.

Taiwan, Japan and South Korea aren't afraid of the US. They are afraid of China.

Finland, Romania, Poland, Ukraine and Estonia aren't afraid the US will invade and annex their territory. They are afraid of Russia's territorial ambitions in Eastern Europe.

For example, how do you think Australia feels about it right now?

"China’s peak security agency has directed a surge in cyber attacks on Australian companies over the past year, breaching an agreement struck between Premier Li Keqiang and former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull to not steal each other’s commercial secrets."

Sure, but considering the "fudge factor" that Apple often applies for their battery life estimates ("casual browsing", etc.) an hour isn't all that much.
but that's a different problem. parents are already accountable to the daycare to pick up their kids, and the payment enabled them more flexibility and actually reduce the accountability. we are paying an after-school service for exactly that purpose.

bossasaservice is about voluntary accountability where there previously was none. and it's fully in my control on how i use it.

part of the point of being a freelancer (or entrepreneur) is that i get to decide what i am accountable for and what not.
Yep, another great example. :)
