Allow me to turn the tables a little:

- why don’t publishers pay reviewers for the extensive time they spend reviewing the paper?

- why don’t publishers pay academics who edit journals, another time consuming task?

- why don’t publishers pay academics or institutions for a product they sell?

I can’t comment on your company, but the above is the status quo for most of academia.

Do you think this business model is ethical?

There are some good free/non-profit journals, I just don't think you hear about them so much. There's a really good one in Number Theory called Algebra and Number Theory that has been around for about 10 years now. It was started by first-rate mathematicians and their standards, and reject rate have always been really high.

I'm looking forward to the day I don't have to charge a non-profit doing good in this world $99 a year just to keep their app on the app store. Apple devices should have the equivalent of F-Droid for FLOSS goodies, and that's exactly the conclusion the courts should decide on IMO. This of course will make Apple devices less secure.

The purists need not be worried. There's always the hope the descendants of those humans who do take the path of editing their own genetic code will, a few centuries from now, give those purists' descendants a nice small patch of land as a reservation.

I think HN has chewed all of the above to death. If you read previous comment threads it's obvious that the community actually does understand all of these things, and also understands why they're a problem.

Personally I've lost count of the number of threads and posts where at least one person says "Publishers are in the reputation business."

The fact that you seem unaware of this is curious. If you genuinely think that plans to disrupt the industry are going to be based on distributing PDFs, it's possible you may not be as familiar with the discussions here as perhaps you could be.
Sure, but the scientist is trying to reduce the risk of death and suffering. (They're not just flipping a coin to see what happens.)

We already know a lot about certain genes and what they do. For example, mutations in the HBB gene cause sickle cell anemia. Removing the mutation in that HBB gene is a good idea 100% of the time. You can just look at the 99% (?) of healthy people who have an HBB gene without that mutation.

Maybe the CRISPR process is risky and can cause lots of unexpected mutations. In that case it's not so black-and-white. But if you can edit a gene to prevent a disease, and it can be done in a safe way, then I don't think it's inherently unethical. (Although you could argue that it might be more ethical for parents to adopt a baby and donate money to charity, instead of spending a lot of money on gene-editing and IVF.)
Linux doesn't work on pretty much any new laptop with a hybrid graphics card without editing kernel options at boot and such... and even then the drivers are bad compared to Windows.

Here is the result from my OCaml repl:

# typ_of_expr [] (app k_intint (Int 1));;
- : (typ, string) result =
Error "Type mismatch. t0_0: SymbolTy a, t0_1: Arrow, t1: IntTy"

You are correct about what `(k_intint (Int 1))` should be. I hope for `k_intint` to be `IntTy -> IntTy -> IntTy`.
It’s also quite convenient supporting a variety of compressed formats with one API.
I guess it's not spyware, or a backdoor, because it's not secret. It's an overt listening device for the government.

The lack of privacy to government surveillance is the important feature that people are trying to convey when they use the term "spyware" to describe it. But we can use a more precise term if you're concerned about the term's connotations with secretive spying.

The only world where people would use financial software like this that puts them in such a subordinate position vis-a-vis the government, is one where real financial privacy technology is illegal.

Stallman should be upfront about whether such laws are what he would like to see implemented.
> I wish there was a guide for "proper" SO questions; my impression is, the only ones are super-detailed questions about some super-particular APIs.

And those questions can in most cases be answered by the docs anyway. The times I've used SO is when the problem can't be answered by the docs, my own experience or that of the team, but then I've received either no answer or a series of non-answers (that should have been comments instead, but a lot of people can't comment).

I also see quite a bit of overt reputation farming there. Like vague questions that receive an improbably precise answer that immediately gets selected. Like "how do u process payments?" (the orthography is usually bad) immediately followed by very specific instructions from a very specific payment processor not mentioned in the question, probably taken straight from its documentation. And I rarely see "closed as too broad" on those, probably because of the quick turn-around.
Really, nobody's using it anywhere, which is why governments haven't tried to stop it. The Venezuela case is the only currency less stable than BTC, but that aside, as a thought experiment consider: where did the BTC in question come from?

(1) If you can't move currency out of the country the whole thing is zero-sum. You're just buying bolivars from one guy and taking his BTC. You're leaving others within the country holding more bags of bolivars. The problem hasn't been solved at all just redistributed.

(2) If you can move money out of the country, you'd have done much better just buying USD and holding onto it, or using it there.
It would be really interesting to know what Feynman would make of the current state of machine learning. It's awesome what tasks can be performed with it, but I imagine he would be disappointed with our level of understanding of how these systems work.
From a usability perspective, sure. Ther are, however, tons of internally developed tools and applications running on client PC's in various businesses. Not all of those tools and applications work with Wine or Linux equivalents.

Why aren't all birds as smart as crows? Because the Blind Idiot God of Evolution doesn't care that you think increased intelligence is an obvious 'win'.
People are also using USD, today, in regimes such as Venezuela. Enforcement is terrible and members of the government's inner circle are facilitating USD/Bolivar exchanges outside of the law already.

Why would they care about crypto?
> Yep, which is why you disable Windows Update too.

Sounds like you haven't tried this because this solution doesn't work.

No, it is not. Heritability does not mean that there is a simple correlation between a trait and a small number of genes that could be exploited for targeted manipulation.

Take height: Height is extremely heritable. If your parents are both tall, you are very likely to be tall as well. But height is influenced by thousands of genes, and each individual gene has only a minuscule influence. And each of those genes is also responsible for many other unknown things.

It's not at all a reasonable assumption that genetic modification will allow us to influence a complex trait like intelligence. That's just wishful thinking.
I agree that “being smarter” or above average intelligence helps with a whole host of stuff besides science and engineering, including business and social skills, all other things being equal.

My point above was regarding the difference between say 2SD above mean vs 4SD. It did not help much and perhaps hurt in a few ways, like getting bored more easily, to have a +4SD IQ in the past. Most businesses and jobs were not very complicated. So having a +2SD intelligence could be optimal in the past in most parts of the world.

Work at today’s multinationals and globe-spanning empires, in many fields, benefit a lot more from +4SD intelligence and the stimulation from complexity helps mitigate some of the drawbacks. The optimal level for career success in many regions/careers might have shifted to +3SD or even +4SD instead.
I recommend you look into privacy coins because your comment makes it clear you are not aware of them. Crypto is about immutable transactions where no single entity can deny you your freedom by simply altering your balances. Right now, your bank can click a mouse and your money is gone. You can try to prove you had it but unless you have indisputable proof you’re at the mercy of the bank.

Crypto has big challenges for sure, such as legal recourse, stability, reversible transactions and other issues but the problems it seeks to solve are real. They may not affect you personally, perhaps not now, but there is always that possibility that money could disappear and your rights denied. This already happens every day- just google PayPal freezes.
Domestically is due to time cost of money, which makes wires used only for transactions that are giant or must arrive tomorrow.
> (1) Trust is not a problem, it's a huge optimization. The sheer power consumption of cryptocurrencies is hard, demonstrable proof that trust is an efficiency.

This is a conflation. Trust can certainly be a problem, and the demonstrable proof is the 2008 bubble and any other historical bubble with similar features.

> (3) Banks are trusted and regulated.

Again, until they're not or they collude. This isn't slippery slope stuff, this has actually happened in the recent past.

> (4) Fractional reserve lending is fine because the FDIC guarantees the funds in the event of a run.

It's difficult to judge whether this is true because as far as I know it's never been put to the test. Historically, banks aren't great at guaranteeing funds during a run no matter what they say (Great Depression).

The majority of your arguments centre around efficiency over trust (i.e. you trust in the system enough that efficiency has become your only concern when it comes to transacting with value). For most day-to-day operations you're probably in the right here. The problem is when you're wrong (and there are always these events in economic history where the "system" fails) then you're really wrong.
I think subsidies are a good thing, however our current application of them is definitely backwards. Corn is one of the worst crops to subsidize, the whole reason we grow corn is because how absolutely robust and resilient it is as staple crop. However the trade off for being such a strong crop is poor input-output efficiency. I think subsidies need to be applied to more vulnerable crops, some should go to staple crops other than corn, but I think the larger portion of it should go to fruit and vegetable production. I would also like to see some of it given to more sustainable farming practices, with an emphasis in reducing artificial irrigation, reducing artificial fertilizer usage, and maintaining or increasing topsoil depth and soil health, although I have no idea how to properly implement those practice.
Are you saying that out of the box Surface supports more apps than Chrome OS, Android and Linux apps combined? Slate is expensive, but to people like me - top of the line specs, the best screen there is and support for all those apps is worth it.

If I had to speculate I'd say that Google is phasing out Android from tablets in favor of Chrome OS to have the best of both worlds.

It may be more complex than that. If both of you were tied into the Social Graph it's possible software on your devices simply knew the two of you were in proximity and for how long. This could be done via Bluetooth by an app like WhatsApp or Facebook, which is known to have sensors installed in urban businesses. But who's to say they didn't just turn your device into a beacon itself using the Physical Web?

There are plenty of free, open access journals that are reputable.

JMLR http://www.jmlr.org/ is quite successful. There are some fields, such as machine learning, that are not dominated by for-profit journals. Why is this possible in some fields and not others? My answer would be that it is possible in all fields, but incumbency advantages can be very strong and coordination across academic volunteers can be more difficult when they are individually less secure.
this will give much more performance and compatibility than risc, at least if it ships soon I guess.
The Problem (atleast in my opinion) is that there will "never" be any change in this if people are not willing to sacrifice just a little bit of usability. Why should companys write software for an OS that does not get used?

Sure, getting stuff done is a high priority, but has it to be number one? Can't we put ethics (or call it whatever you want) above it? We definitely need a lot more competition
Copyright does not work that way.

You cannot relicense code you are not the copyright holder of (ignoring public domain, that's a special case).

Just because it is under a permissive BSD license does not mean that you own the copyright; only that the copyright owner permits you to use the material permissively.

You are still unable to re-license it unless you are the copyright owner (or the copyright owner gives you permission to do so, e.g. by dual-licensing the code).

In practice, there's little reason to license under both BSD and GPL since the BSD is compatible with the GPL on its own.

By the way, that might be what you're thinking of; when you have BSD code, you can integrate it into a GPL codebase, but that's not because you're re-licensing it as GPL, but because the GPL is explicitly meant to be compatible with most other free software licenses. You're still using said code under the terms of the BSD, which allow you to use it alongside GPL code.

Presumably what has happened here is that Facebook's lawyers felt more comfortable being more explicit about the intended licenses, though I can't think of a concrete reason why they'd feel the need to do so.
Then it's not the same price.
Gold is not often transacted in, directly, so it's somewhat spurious to the discussion at hand.

The vast, vast majority of transactions take place electronically and with government oversight, so yes, cryptocurrency enthusiasts really are talking about removing such oversight when they propose wholesale moves to cryptocurrency.

All of which is orthogonal to the point at hand - whether such things should enable such oversight. Stallman clearly feels they should.

Thanks. It came to me when I saw a Mom with kids get harassed by a crazy person on the sidewalk. Also there's a similar story in Bernal where a crazy person kept shitting in front of a school. But nobody could do anything about it (for fear of hysterical backlash). I can't find the article though.
I can't say I agree. A gov can't pry the secret key to my coins from my brain (yet). You can much more easily freeze a bank account and garnish whatever you wish.

Additionally, Satoshi himself advised to never re-use a bitcoin address. It's foolish and makes it easy to link your transactions to a single entity (you). If you use a HD wallet, which almost every bitcoin wallet software supports, and is the default in the majority of them, you will not reuse an address. This is because it becomes impossible to tell if you sent money to yourself or another person.
of course it is not the same. but i think the argument was on the unborn baby 's rights being violated because of the genetic procedure.

Also this is not a case of arbitrary experimentation, the parents ARE preventing an inherited genetic issue, which is something that so far has been ethically acceptable so far, for embryo selection.
The actual problem here is that rewards programs and universally applied CC fees represent a transfer of wealth from those who use cash to those who use credit.
Because a healthy young person bearing the burden of the parents does not solve the "sham of the US health care system" and shifts the cost mostly from the older to the younger, which with lower incomes are pushed into lower quality labor and lesser jobs, as they cannot be employed with health benefits.

A rich 60 year old man takes 100k medical treatments from medicare and a poor 18 year-old either has no coverage at all or pays an innordinate amount of insurance out of his salary. How can people justify doing such a blatant robbery of the poor.

About those "artificial recessions":

The historical experience with a gold standard without central banking is the closest we have to what an economy built on only Bitcoin would look like. If you look at the 19th century, it had far worse cycles of strong recessions than we've ever seen in the 20th or 21st century since central banking was established, and then later we got rid of the gold standard.

So... were those frequent 19th century recessions somehow preferable because they were "natural"?

A big part of it is that people don't want to cause themselves trouble.

It's not often that I see people having fights in public here in Australia, but on the odd occasion that people are misbehaving, I really don't want to cause myself trouble and hurt myself. I'm not inclined to get bottled or stabbed for trying to help someone out.

On the other hand, if I do come across someone passed out in public who looks a bit fucked up, I will make sure they're alive and at least vaguely responsive, and roll them into the recovery position. I wouldn't call an ambulance though because they're expensive and I don't want to cause someone a $2000 bill because they were just drunk and sleeping it off.
