The point is so simple and straight forward I question your ability to carry on this conversation. It is bloody obvious what I'm trying to say.

The idea is that we have a problem, a stagnating economy, lack of jobs and stagnating wages.

The prescribed solution to this problem was tax cuts.

So if you still having large scale layoffs then it appears that maybe the SOLUTION is not quite solving the PROBLEM.

Instead I need to engage in this stupidity. This is like someone getting cancer, and someone prescribes snake oil solition, and I'm saying the snake oil doesn't work.

And instead some of you at the bottom of this thread are saying I'm blaming the cancer is due to the snake oil. How long do we need to do this stupid song and dance.

How exactly do you envision this to work? The government won't care where the client ferreted away the proceeds, they'll just want them back.

Unless the entire funding structure including the currency and all parties in the transaction are completely anonymous and it is impossible to trace the funds to any one person, but then this raises further problems.

>the more likely it that your vote is important given the political capital and effort expended to make sure it is hard for that person to vote

It would make no sense for voter suppression to be aimed at an individual. It would only make sense for it to be aimed at large groups of people. No one is going to spend political capital and effort to stop you from voting personally. They may spend political capital and effort to stop some large group you are a part of from voting.

"I don’t think we’re able to show our workings for higher level things like proofs."

I can't speak for proofs, but this is false in the case of higher level things like chess. I'm not a grandmaster, but I was a chess master at age 10 and I am ranked ~2400 in bullet chess. To the average person my ability to play chess is "magic". But to me it's not magic at all. I can explain my thought process at any time. It's all based on symbolic manipulation at progressively higher levels, i.e. clustering pieces into "chunks", connecting these chunks into higher level patterns like weak pawn structure or forks, and ultimately deciding on the best course of action by weighing all of the different high level patterns. Every step is rule-based logic which I can readily explain to anyone, even a chess novice. The part that appears "magic" is the ability to do all of these calculations in the blink of an eye. But that too is simply due to having trained so many of these patterns extensively at a young age. Anyone who can speak a language is doing the same thing, manipulating complex symbolic objects in real time at progressively higher levels (i.e. letters, words, sentences, paragraphs).

Announcing huge layoffs is not a positive market indicator. Similar to inverted yields, massive market drops or VIX growth, it is indicative of a wind shift.
- I/O is comically limited. Everything talking to the outside world is infamously bottlenecked on USB 2.0. (In comparison, any modern Rockchip or Allwinner SoC has Gigabit Ethernet directly connected to the SoC.)

- The memory subsystem is also a joke. 1 GB of slow LPDDR2 is the limit!?

- The boot process is absurd. A proprietary blob is loaded onto the GPU (!) from the SD card before everything else. An independent FOSS replacement boot stack project was started but not finished.

- And the firmware's support for network booting is very, very unreliable.

- There is a custom interrupt controller instead of the standard ARM GIC. (This was in fact one of the frustrations cited in the post about the open boot stack project's abandonment.)

- CPU crypto extensions (AES+PMULL/SHA1/SHA2) are absent. Other similar (4-core A53) SoCs (A64, RK3328) do have it.

- The GPU does not have memory protection. The VC4 driver does its best to try to validate shaders, but… LOL.

And here we're talking about Apple. They make their own SoCs. If they decided to get into IoT, they'd probably make a development platform based on one of their small chips they use in AirPods or whatever

> Not at all. (…) Slack does not offer any special treatment to large open source communities, other than tolerating their existence.

I wasn’t clear. It’s free for non-profit orgs. Open-source communities that aren’t registered organizations are by definition not non-profit orgs.
Outside of the normal trend, yeah. There isn't much growth difference than pre-tax treatment.

The national deficit is the highest it's been since the recession though, and growing faster than before.

At least during the recession when our tax money was given to corporations, there were strings attached. Now it's all stock buybacks to fight the shrinking market, brought on by the stupid trade war.

Do founders typically own a minority stake in VC-funded businesses? Even a lifestyle business may be able to throw off several million a year in disbursements beyond payroll. Sure if you own a fraction of a percent that's not much money but if you own 20% of a company disbursing $2MM+ every year that can fund quite a bit.

I know VCs are aiming for home runs and 10x+ returns but trying to get someone to shut down a business like that seems short-sighted.

The incentive is that they're academics and want to do the right thing. Maybe more pessemistically, they don't want to be called out by other academics doing the right thing. If we go back to the original topic, which is that deidentifying data with some known fields is possible, do you think a reputable academic will want to be known for denying a simple arithmetic estimation? They'd be the laughingstock in their department and community.

2018 in Review: 10 AI Failures
If you take QQ from the original article, you can see they have made an effort to move to the US market. Qidian launched webnovels.com this year or last with a modified model disconnected from the author/tip system but with a pay to play model and gamification. It will prove if websites and publishers can find this pattern valuable. They use PayPal and other services for their transactions, but the floor is well above the $0.30 for tips listed in the article. I suspect that has to do with our transaction fees which make anything that small a loss.

My pleasure. Thank you for reading.

In the "updates to the prior work" section I have now linked to an HCI thesis that automates the process of flagging important content. That would be one way to reduce the workload for writers.

The other approach is to just simplify the process of marking up content. If you write the markup yourself in markdown or HTML (or whatever), like I do, I think it may always be a bit of a hassle. Maybe a code editor plugin could help here. But if you author in a GUI environment, flagging the priority of content might be a bit less of a hassle.

well what better way to make sure a large number of people don't vote than to let them convince themselves that voting doesn't matter.

My point is that the net effect is the same for both things, one you don't vote because your vote was suppressed and the other is you not voting because you don't think it will matter. Obviously if it's worth paying money to try to make sure than many people can't vote then it's even better if some people don't vote for some personal reason because they don't even have to pay for that or potentially get caught doing shady shit. Disenfranchising yourself serves the same coalition that seeks to dismantle the system in return for more personal power.

As stated in the article, Marcus' fundamental problem is:

1) "the notion that deep learning is without demonstrable limits and might, all by itself, get us to general intelligence, if we just give it a little more time and a little more data, as captured in a 2016 suggestion by Andrew Ng"

and

2) "Leaders in AI like LeCun acknowledge that there must be some limits, in some vague way, but rarely (and this is why Bengio’s new report was so noteworthy) do they pinpoint what those limits are, beyond to acknowledge its data-hungry nature."
Swift.String is composed of a finite set of symbols, with a finite maximum length. How can you create an infinite number of these?

The article ignores the distinction in many places, but "String" in a Swift function means "the Swift.String type", not "an abstract string type like those used to represent Turing machine state".

Interesting summary of Gracchi on Wikipedia [1]:

The Gracchi brothers, Tiberius and Gaius, were Romans who both served as tribunes in the late 2nd century BC. They attempted to pass land reform legislation that would redistribute the major aristocratic landholdings among the urban poor and veterans, in addition to other reform measures. After achieving some early success, both were assassinated by enemies of these reforms.

Ask HN: How to backup emails?
Hello.

I have a university email that works with an old webmail interface and I would like to back it up. Basically all the mails and attachments.

Also, what about gmail? Is it possible to back that up?

Most importantly, how do I back these up? What do I store them as? In a db? In text files? How do I export everything from the original place to the storage format?

Thank you.

NOAA Expands Public Access to Big Data
and if you are a member of that group, and they paid X dollars to target that group with an attempt at disenfranchising them then we arrive at an estimated cost of $(X/population of group) to target you (among the others in the group as well). The emphasis on individual vs group only serves to distract, groups don't target individuals with disenfranchisement because it's just easier to target entire groups. They still don't want you to vote, they just use a single piece of your identity to decide that you fall into the group of people they don't want to vote. If someone is willing to pay to make sure you (among other people) don't vote, then clearly your vote is worth both the concern and the price of the group targeting you (among other people).

Vote, and preferably against the group of people that uses voter suppression as a tactic for winning an election in a democracy.

I do the things that scare the shit out of me consistently.
The things that you wouldn't even consider an option and that many people might consider impossible.
When things get really hard, I lean into the pain.
Sometimes the pain will be overwhelming, but it will pass.
Eventually you'll get used to the pain and things will get boring, you'll plateau, and then you pick the next mountain that scares the shit out of you to start the cycle all over again.

I think life might be a little like a video game.
You need to make sure you conquer all your base mountains first- things like good mental health (stoicism), physical health, and healthy relationships. If those 3 are covered you can bounce back from anything. At least from my experience and my experience includes 2 suicide attempts, starting my own business, and surviving a bunch of bad stuff.

It is really really easy to develop mental toughness from physical exercise. The two go hand in hand. You can't push your body without pushing your mind. Many physical boundaries are mental boundaries. Physical exercise is the easiest way to challenge your mental boundaries if you can.

I love long-distance running. It's an easy way to see and test your boundaries and get fit at the same time. Once you hit your redline or hell when you're running- being able to push through hell and finish is key. Slowly and surely you'll be able to run through longer distances of hell. Remembering that pain, knowing that you can meet your boundaries and surpass them, can help you deal with almost everything. It's a confidence-builder. It translates to mental toughness- doing the things and confronting your personal demons, each personal demon you conquer brings you to a bigger demon, but all the small demons you conquered along the way become your allies.

Whenever I face a tough situation, it's like lol this is nothing compared to the shit I've been through. Or almost like an anime cliche, I've conquered everything that I've come up against so far, I'm not quitting now.

What doesn't kill you, literally makes you stronger. Do all the things that you irrationally think might kill you or that makes you figuratively want to die when you think about it. Your "I'd rather die than do x, y, and z".

In my experience, the figurative dying in "I'd rather die" often feels like failing. So die/fail often. I don't know if you ever get used to it, but you start to like it after a while. It feels like progress. Growth pains that you lean into I guess.

>apparently the world of expats there at the time was very small?

Small is a bit of an understatement! All of us (Americans, Russians, and everyone in-between) were restricted to a few square miles in the middle of Vientiane. And if you weren't attached to an embassy in some manner, you weren't there, period. This does make me ponder, it is almost certain that my folks knew your friend's parents. Small world.

This was during the time when any Laotian who had any kind of education or wealth was desperately trying to leave the country before they got 're-educated' by a bullet to the head. The Vietnamese moved in shortly after the Pathet Lao victory, and the witch-hunt was brutal. There is a reason there were zero local doctors available for anyone.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathet_Lao

As grim as this was, it also contrasted strongly with memories like you describe- an incredible degree of friendliness from most folks, even when at the time non-Lao were so rare in country that whenever we went outside, it was guaranteed that for most folks we'd met that day, we were probably the first caucasians they'd ever seen. During the water festival, it was hard to go outside, because everyone wanted to soak us, and it was all in good fun- they wanted to make sure we got to join in, and didn't feel left out.

One final vignette to share. A few times over the years we were there, when out at market with my Mom, a shop/stall owner would come over and (politely) pull us aside, and out of the crowd. Shortly after we would see ex-NVA or other bad news men looking for foreigners to take their aggressions out on. The shop owners were local people who were quite literally risking their lives, just to make sure that the odd-looking big-nosed people they'd never met before weren't hurt. That level of consideration was omnipresent, even with the background conflict in play.
And that is the way I choose to remember my time in Laos.

The fixed coin supply is totally different from the inflationary pressure you are concerned about. There seems to be some kind of confusion here but I can't figure out what your are trying to say now.

>"Those with more wealth to lose are disproportionately incentivised to protect it"

I'd think a billionaire with $1 million worth of cryptocurrency would be less incentivized than someone with no other "wealth" but $10k worth of cryptocurrency. Also, the people with the most non-cryptocurrency wealth are going to be most empowered to take "protective" action. The "cryptocurrency wealth" is tied up in cryptocurrency... So I can't really follow this argument of yours either.

>"what geometric shape a reasonable person would be likely to use to pictorially represent such a scheme"

Yes, you seem to have started with the conclusion that you have problem with cryptocurrencies, and then are coming up with false arguments to call them a pyramid scheme.

I like your viewpoint, but my experience with GUIs was largely that THEY hid power...from me. Any setting that could only be managed from within a GUI meant automation was pretty much off the table (and by "automation" I mean any basic connection of two tasks, things joe average user would want, not necessarily heavy industrial automation). Remember when Windows NT had only a binary event log, and their graphical client was the only way to view it?

I think the issue is not so much "command line hides power and treats GUI like a second-class citizen", though that is true, but rather that preferring one over the other creates problems.

This issue is again rearing its head in website design - many "web applications" have states that are not reachable via linking.
