>Its pretty easy to argue that this is impossible.

Yep! It is very likely that this is impossible.

>you would need a computer running a model of the world at the sub-atomic level and somehow running it faster than the world itself unfolds. I'm 100% sure that would be impossible.

I'm not 100% sure.

The universe? Sure. We know that's impossible because of our understanding of physics - we cannot store the amount of information in the universe in anything smaller than the universe, much less compute on that information. Every single state we compute would again require the entirety of the universe to be stored, plus any transitional states in between. But I can't say with 100% certainty we'll never be able to compute everything necessary to predict how humans behave.

It might be, at some point in the future.

But my point was less about the theoretical possibility of this and more of how the fact that it currently is not, and is unlikely to be so at any point that is particularly relevant.
Thanks for clarifying mate. It's nice to hear your company is changing the status quo.

This, so much.

I remember writing a solver for a different game, and already had a dead end check in it, but with increasing board size it took half an hour to find a solution. Then I added another check for a different dead end condition. This actually required quite a lot of additional work, more than doubling the time spent for evaluating each board state. But it brought down the time from 30 minutes to a fraction of a second!
Needing that parking spot is an extra - you don't have to have a car in many cities, and the explicit intended goal of city designers is to ensure that having a car is inconvenient and expensive, so that more people would choose not to have a car, as that is the solution to "your car has to go somewhere, either congesting the scarce street/sidewalk space, or to your private parking spot". It does not have to go somewhere if it does not exist.
well said! another hope is indeed to increase the popularity of Lisp by providing a "killer" application. Next is still in its infancy, but we have had barely any time at all, and it is on its 5th rewrite, and already it is quite powerful!

I think Star Trek was actually fairly timid about this compared to contemporary and older novels. TOS pushed the envelope a little bit, but the rest were mostly just hitting contemporary norms. Notoriously, they were very skittish about LGBT characters, even at a time when gay people were showing up in sitcoms etc without anyone getting too upset.

Novels are a whole different story, though; Clarke, le Guin etc were very much more progressive.
Unconscious bias is not implicit association. Unconscious bias is rationalizing decisions based on the candidate's personal characteristics as something else. Studies about unconscious bias readily replicate, i.e. https://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/minorities-who-whiten-job-resumes...

Most training to overcome unconscious bias is about defining criteria before you see a candidate. If, before you view resumes, you've written down "We want someone with a master's degree and 4 years of experience in field X," you're much less likely to pass over a qualified resume, regardless of the candidate's personal characteristics.

All these Australia encrytion bypass laws articles are being ignored. Try replacing ‘Australia’ in the subject line with ‘China’, ‘North Korea’, ‘Iran’ or ‘Russia’. It’ll get loads of views and user interaction, trust me.
If you are processing data with nanosecond precision(which is not difficult with modern microchips) then you can tell the distance to the key by just measuring the number of nanoseconds elapsed since the request was sent(accounting for amount of time taken to calculate the response). If you can measure the time in nanoseconds that's good enough to tell the difference between the key being 1m and 10m away.
> I also know people who take the exact opposite approach with their expensive vehicles - they leave the key in plain sight near the front door

This seems like the best strategy to me. If you have a desirable vehicle and someone decides to break into your house to get hold of the keys they're going to turn the place upside down trying to find them. If you're in at the time you're also putting yourself in a lot of danger.

Just leave the keys by the front door and let the insurance deal with it.
Just checked. That's exactly the one.
I'm really excited about this idea, but I also think it isn't fully baked yet.

I'm excited because VPNs are all about shifting trust: I'm no longer trusting Comcast not to sell my data, I'm now trusting SketchyVPN. If SketchyVPN turns out not to be trustworthy, then I'm paying for something that is worth less than $0 to me, and there's no way to detect that as a user. It's like paying more for organic food in a town where farm stands are paid to lace organic food with arsenic -- why would you?

For VPN service, I trust Mozilla more than to just about anybody: they're nonprofit, have clear and transparent governance, have many mission-driven employees, and would lose more than they could possibly gain by breaking the terms of service on a VPN. They also have a big enough profile that it takes no extra effort to stay up to date on how trustworthy they are -- they do make missteps, but every misstep hits the front page of HN, which is exactly what I want. If they run a VPN, I'm sold that it's worth more than $0.

But the service isn't fully baked yet for me, because they're not explaining how they're enforcing the trustworthiness of ProtonVPN. I have no idea if ProtonVPN is as trustworthy as Mozilla -- maybe it is, but I don't want to learn and stay on top of that. Instead I want premium.firefox.com/vpn/ to convince me that, if I use Mozilla's service, I'm fully benefiting from their trustworthiness.

The documents[0] contain market research done by Onavo[1]. This data may have been bought from them, and if so it was probably bought under a non-disclose agreement, as is typical for those arrangements (the reasoning being that Onavo can't sell the data more than once if it is released publicly). This could pose a problem for Facebook if Onavo decides that another release like this is likely to happen again. I'd be interested if anyone can weigh in on what the think the liability situation will be here.

While I agree with the sentiment, this isn't entirely true:

> A false negative has zero cost (and zero benefit).

False negatives means that your hiring process is longer, more difficult, more costly, and you therefore find it harder to grow, or to replace people who leave.

It may well be that avoiding false positives in general is better for the business, but it's not as clear cut as you make out I believe, it's a balance.
You can't just signup for a WeChat ID right now. As of late 2017, when you signup for a WeChat ID it shows you a sign-up QR code. Someone who is a verified WeChat user (someone with WeChat Pay which has RealID) must scan and verify you before you are allowed.

Well, unsigned addons are banned in the branded release browser. If you use the developer edition, nightly or compile Firefox yourself then you can install unsigned addons into Firefox. The last option also enables you to turn of Pocket and a variety of other services.
I would agree, at this point in time it isn't really possible for us to truly understand the overall system that affects how we make decisions as in. We can at least start with the basics of understanding that it exists rather than stating that we somehow have this sort of magical "free will"

Since this page is talking about SPAs, the only "entry point" it considers is `index.html`. I don't see anything against pre-rendering parts of `index.html` on the server-side -- just that the configuration embedded in `index.html` of _which_ static assets to use and _what_ the environment defines must be managed.

In multi-page applications (MPAs?), among the other things that would probably have to be accounted for, you could treat all of your pages as "entry points" in the same way as `index.html`.
Do nothing and retire, find some relaxing job maybe. Don't give away, or start having some "brilliant" investment ideas. Figuring out how to make the things work - taxes, health insurance, diversifying assets for security - will take enough time and effort to figure out.
Something you have: keyless fob.

I don't see any entanglement with the rest of the rules, or with what makes a relational database a relational database. "A systemic way to represent missing and inapplicable information" may be necessary, but better alternatives to null are imaginable.

That parking garage around the corner still has some degree of vacancy and still occupies the estate that "could been home for humans", so in this way it's no difference.
I'm confused. Are there cars where the fob can automatically start the car, without any button presses, just from proximity?

How did they not realize that was a bad idea?

Stuff like this should trigger the EU Commissioner for Competition to withdraw the authorization that “allowed” FB to acquire Whatsapp and should force a split between the two entities. A fine (no matter how big) will be seen by FB and its investors just as “cost of doing business”. Facebook in its current form needs to be split up back again.
Get ready for down votes and/or moderator action. Lots of people here believe that technology is inherently good, and in so doing offshore their ethical considerations. They want their money and don't want to think too hard about the impact of their work.

If you are measuring response time in nanoseconds then you have enough precision to tell how far away from you the key is, down to a metre. Even at the speed of light, the signal will travel slightly longer if the key is 10m away from you compared to a key that is 1m away from you.
Oops. Well then I guess the liability situation will be very simple. ;)
Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. These are minor things compared to having no other good choice but the Google browser.

Agreed, good call.

Another possible optimisation might be to order the generated next-moves, so that the 'better' options are returned earlier in the list. Although I'm not sure what 'better' here means, exactly. But, through experimentation, one may find that visiting boards with more available options first, or vice versa(?), could produce a quicker route to the goal?

(Making it an 'informed' search, a kind of greedy/best-first depth-first search)

By the way re investing I recommend mainstream stuff like blue chip stocks, income producing real estate etc.

We all pay theses taxes, cars or not, are you talking about license plate? Here it's a few hundreds buck a year, if that's all what's needed, I'm sure they would gladly pay it.

My brother in law did this on a ski trip with a borrowed Range Rover. It was only at the end of the week he realised he'd left his keys in a jacket pocket in the car the entire time and it had been sitting unlocked in the car park half a mile down the road from the apartment. Thankfully it was fine but stealing it would've been a case of getting in, pressing the start button and driving away.

Sorry, I think I must have written this in such a way that some people are mistaking my point. I'll try to clarify. :)

>So, if the philosophical basis is that "if we can deterministically compute something, it's deterministic" then human cognition at the moment is most indeterminate.

My belief, based on my understanding of physics, is that human cognition is deterministic, regardless of whether or not we can compute it.

But I do largely agree with your broader point that whether or not we have free will should have little impact on the inputs in our system. Even if I believe that everything is deterministic and we have no free will, I can't use that information in any practical way, and human cognition (or perhaps more accurately modern Westerner cognition) is slanted towards believing in something resembling what we call free will. No reason to worry about it for anything beyond philosophical discussions. I brought up the computation as a hypothetical point at which acting differently would matter.

I think that assumes that all the processing the key fob does internally is reliable constant-time down to the nanosecond. I don't know if that's true but my first guess is that it's doubtful.
Since most car manufacturers seem to be vulnerable (to my knowledge), I assume all or most buy the same COTS keyfob + electronic lock product. Much like Takata airbags or Bosch ECUs.

Being a step away from the problem probably helps keep that OEM manufacturer from strapping in and solving it. They don't feel any pain from it.
The city centres of Europe were built largely in pre-car times without any explicit concern for parking. Now the explicit intended goal of city planners is to ensure that the vehicles don't bog down the city. Which means both reducing the through traffic and making homeowners arrange their parking on private property. The latter part apparently is very disturbing to many here.
The undo in Emacs is great, it's impossible to lose anything because you can undo your undos. I wouldn't start off doing serious work with it, though.
