Yes, let's take it as read, all pacifists are actually secret Nazis. How do you know what you think you know about 1940, anyway? Lindbergh accepted a medal from Germany before the war, so that means he was culpable for Auschwitz? The same brave pilot who in his forties flew 50 combat missions and helped the Army Air Corps and Marines develop better tactics that shortened the war? Wait, you're not criticizing him for shortening the war, are you?

Also, these fucking genocides. Yeah, they're terrible. (You're also completely misrepresenting what Chomsky said about Cambodia, another clusterfuck caused by CIA when they sponsored the coup in 1970, after NSA executed the Tonkin Gulf Deception in 1964 to destabilize the entire region in the first place.) I really thought it was a bad idea to kill half a million Iraqis. I don't care that you don't feel the same. There is nothing holy about a bunch of people who have nothing to do with America being killed by another bunch of people who have nothing to do with America. The problem is that USA keeps destabilizing legitimate governments in all parts of the globe, arming terrorists, and using the resulting chaos as justification for our own disastrous military operations. The problem is USA soldiers using USA munitions to kill people who have nothing to do with America.

You are not well enough informed to make moral judgments about USA military activity. You should blame the popular news media for your ignorance.

> AI wins on the strength of better decision-making and novel strategies in Chess and Go, though. I have no doubt we'll see this in RTSes in the near future as well.

Yes, likely! I wasn't doubting it's possible or even likely. Only that seeing an AI do flawless 1000 APM stalker micro and macroing perfectly, while pretty cool, is not as exciting as seeing an AI use a novel strategy (edit: especially one that a human could theoretically execute)
It's basically small claims court except with possibly less qualified people and for larger amounts of money.

Small claims is like that specifically because it is a small amount of money.

Absolutely, but I prefer not to leave 22/tcp open to the world. If I do leave it open it is only from a restricted IP set, otherwise it is behind a VPN, probably OpenVPN.
Our DNA is NOT a trained deep net, nor is it a deep net period. Our DNA is a string of proteins which encode other proteins which gives the series of tasks needed to create and operate all the structures of the brain and body.

The "training" of our deep net happens during our lifetime. We are not born with a trained deep net so your analogy that somehow we are born with a highly capable deep-net encoded into 1.6GB of DNA makes no sense.

Can you imagine how capable a human being would be if it was born into a world with no other humans or learning sources? Imagine a new born baby born into a world with some accessible food/water close by so it wouldn't die from lack of nutrition or wild animals, but crucially without any other humans. It would be utterly fucking useless, no language/reading means no way of assimiliating new knowledge. That baby would end up being a totally incapable human, regardless of the DNA or structure of the brain.

As far as we currently understand, if infants aren't exposed to language and communication at a very young age, they are either incapable or severely stunted in terms of communication for the rest of their life.

My point is, that we are very much dependent on the learning that we get from the point of birth ONWARDS. We get the amazing capacity to learn from the structure of our brain and body, but we'd be absolutely incapable idiots without other people to teach us, our books, language etc. We understand "games" and game theory from playing games with other kids, we're not born with "game theory" encoded into our DNA as one other commenter seemed to think, the same for language learning, and everything else.

Anyway, the point of this whole debate was that it's incredibly impressive that humans can learn to play a game as complex as SC2 in a tiny fraction of the time it takes a cluster of GPUs using a huge amount of energy and resources. Not forgetting that we also have to use a physical body to control our actions in the game, which adds a whole other level of complexity since we have to understand how to manipulate a mouse/keyboard etc, whereas the AI is essentially acting directly with the game, like a human with a neural link. The other kicker, is that if you just changed one aspect, like picking a new map neither player had seen, the AI would be sent hurtling back to square one whereas the human would only be partially affected. These series of demos only make me more impressed that given the huge resources given to Google, they can just about beat a human and even then after 200 years of training time and various other artificial advantages.

Well, I mean, you can write perfectly sound programs in Java as well, or in TS. It's rather a question of how hard/easy it is to do so. Technically, any language that has either direct memory manipulation or FFI has the potential to do unsound things about types, but it takes a lot more effort.

I've followed this case a bit and read a few articles for each side, given our current legal framework I haven't seen a good argument against Oracle.

Is there something obvious I'm missing?
The same thing that always happens. People make extrapolations assuming that something will continue to grow at it's current rate. They forget that there are dynamic systems and feedback mechanisms at play.

"Ebola is spreading at an exponential rate. There will be 200 million deaths by next year."

"Soviet GDP is growing 10% per year. Their economy will be the largest in the world in 15 years."

"Japanese GDP is growing 7% per year. Their economy will be the largest in the world in 20 years."

"The world's population increases at 2% per year. We'll have 50 billion people in 2100."

With regard to crazy work hours, our platform is used by lot of VFX studios and freelancers. From our frequent interaction with them, we observed that the amount of work hours they put in are really insane.

Its the same story but unlike game developers they get into that grind very often too. I don't think this scenario is unique to game developers alone and it exists in other domains - most prevalent when artistic expectation gets mingled with technology.
My wife's a lawyer but she's a Taurus.
Yeah, it was a bit of a mess getting all the paperwork done but when I was signing up for iBooks distribution back in ~2014, I secured a block of 10 easily, for free, as a Canadian publisher and could have received more with some evidence I'd need them. I expect it's up to the organization that administers the ISBN system in your country to set the price. ISBNs tend to vary by country: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISBN_identifier_groups
Exactly. Just pointing out the rationale for Oracle, not arguing the merits.
If you can convince politicians to make the tax, it's trivial in comparison to earmark all the money for carbon capture and carbon capture research. (And it won't matter if existing funding gets cancelled because the influx would be a thousand times bigger.)
I don't like your Walmart analogy.

You are right, there are lots of low-income shoppers who buy things at Walmart they couldn't otherwise afford.

To these shoppers, Walmart provides a better way of life. I don't think they'd rather be low-income shoppers buying from more expensive stores that offer fewer choices.

Walmart is beneficial for the shopper. If it wasn't so, Walmart wouldn't be successful.
They only got that ruling by appealing a copyright question to the patent appeals court, who for some reason decided to just go off into the weeds and set their own precedent in open conflict with the appeals court these questions would normally go to.

That's why all the rulings keep getting overruled. The lower court judge is sane (he's actually awesome, you should check out Alsup) and keeps ruling in accordance with established case law, and the appeals court (who shouldn't even be answering copyright questions) keeps going 'nah, all that case law is stupid'.

Hence why this should go to the supreme court who'll most likely tell the court of appeals for the federal circuit that they can't just go make their own law.

To be legal, arbitration must be fair and protect the legal rights of both parties (although enforcing that requirement is obviously difficult). But arbitration doesn’t have to be as formal as a regular court, and that informality is supposed to save a lot of money, so US law actually prefers arbitration when it’s an option.
This is a big assumption. There are many reasons to release something as copyleft – not everyone that releases BSD-like is actively choosing to deprioritize upstreaming. Rather, they are choosing a license that is less restrictive which has other advantages beyond non-copyleft.

Moreover, using copyleft software doesn't mean using forces you to release code. There are specific interactions that trigger the sharing clause in, for example, the GPL, such as distribution, linking, and so on. There remain many, many uses that allow commercialization that do not run afoul of the copyleft nature of the GPL.

I am commenting because I have seen this sentiment repeated ad nauseum on here and, maybe that's not what you meant, but I felt the need to clarify. Moreover, if the code is not AGPL, most online uses do not run afoul, because the code product (say executables) are not themselves being distributed. AGPL was formulated to close this loophole, but GPL code is free from this.

>But insisting they exist is akin to Communism imho.

This is funny for me to read, because you probably intended to imply that's a bad thing. I'd also question whether the forms of domination which the founders of the unions of old has decreased or just changed form - and even given that it has decreased, what is an acceptable level of exploitation? I would say none, and many union members would agree with that supposition.

Today not being that bad means that today is still bad.
I'm not overly concerned about the three data points I give them every month.
Let me reiterate, I am not advocating crunch. I am saying that it is a reasonable expectation for a high performing salaried position that a few weeks of extra hours over the course of a year is completely reasonable.

And $35k for a dev job? When was this, and if it was anytime even remotely recent why on earth did you accept? A new QA hire at my last job would've made more than that.

You don't live in Seattle proper if you are making $35k. Live in a suburb on the line. Don't have a car payment if you can avoid it. And to pull that income : housing ratio down get roommates. I have done this.

And frankly this is a pretty silly argument to make in a discussion around why game developers should unionize.

Read the original ruling.
You run your own Software repo(s) on site and you only allow software to appear in that repo that you trust. You use applications like puppet to automate installations from your repos. LDAP can store users,groups and attributes that can be used into determining which groups get what software baselines.

Not really all that different from what goes on in the Microsoft world with WSUS/Appstores/etc. Just the implementation is different and much more customizable.
AWS does not encrypt internal traffic, including traffic between Availability Zones. AZ's are spread over several datacenters, so your VPC traffic (RDS/microservicers etc) travels unencrypted across multiple physical locations. I consider AWS network assurances sufficient so it's not a problem for our standard threat model, but the auditors got their checkboxes to tick...
That cannot possibly be true. Up until very recently US oil was barred from being exported.
I think the above poster, itissid, was referring to the US domestic oil export ban which was lifted at the end of 2015.
It would be the same as with a player: as soon as you do something with those invisible units, or imply that you have it (eg dt shrine), its sufficient to say that invisibility is in play, and appropriate tools should be used. Its not like you can do anything about dark templars even if you see the shimmer, if you have no sight, beyond body blocking.

Regardless, the article describes cheesing as the common tactic in early iterations, with economic-play being learned later — one of the described cheeses is dt rushes, which the AI apparently learned to deal with, so it should have some understanding of invisible units (alternatively it learned to ignore the dts and base trade or something).

I don’t think the shimmer is useful enough to be a significant loss for these prospective AI’s quests for world (sc2) domination

The comment point at one of two key aspects of the trouble with the platform. The company created something that no one could imagine living without, even as early as five years after the platform was created: a credible social identity online. In spite of that, people overlooked the benefits and focus on a deep, personal resentment.

The more widespread is context collapse, the idea that not everyone who knows you wants to know everything about you. See the comments below. That was something that Facebook was focused on in 2010-2012. Every attempt at personalising your audience failed. There was some ambitious effort to automate clustering of your friends by third-party but no one really cared enough to take over. Google Plus tried with their Circles. That excessive visibility led to less candid messages and less activity over the years, about two-thirds of the drop. Story was meant to compensate for that but didn’t try to identify problematic relations explicitly. It worked on Instagram but more as a quality level than anything targeted. Messages and Groups have that role, and because it’s not harder to create those elsewhere, it’s easier to move away on Facebook.

The one that you mention is less widespread but indeed had a devastating effect. Facebook, like every company, has under-invested in “customer service” or in their case moderation. This had some seemingly isolated effects over random incidents but it didn’t stop at one person’s anger: their friends got increasingly disgruntled by the blatant unfairness. That expansion of isolated injustice explained the remaining third.

Those effects were documented, measured in detail. The first effect was denied by Mark, on principles. It took a Digital World War to start caring about the second.

China creates app to tell you if you are near someone in debt
>Americans working more then other OECD countries is not the result of unions or capitalism. It's culture.

Ironically, this is one of the topics which Marx (wearing his sociologist hat) tried to get at, as well as his descendants (Weber and the Frankfurt School etc.)

>Under communism, there is ample labor law

Under Communism there wouldn't be labour law because there is no such thing as "labour" requiring a law - labour law literally only exists due to its position in relation to capital.

>China got a two day weekend without needing unions to fight it through

This is due to a combination of China being founded by Socialists (and despite not being a Socialist state, needing to keep up appearances of being one) and importing already established Western ideas (in a very similar way to what Japan did).

>more efficient allocation of capital, the everyday person has vastly improved quality of life.

This is not contrary to the Marian thesis that capitalism requires free workers, free in the first sense of being able to sell their labour how they wish, and free in his more ironic sense of freedom from the means and produce of production.
You'd need to vet the packages you install, because otherwise you can install a package which executes arbitrary code during installation.

> Does anyone believe Google will not be doing the exact same thing with its (moribund) technologies in, say, 5-10 years?

I believe it, what about Google has shown otherwise? In many situations where they could have been offensively litigious they have not and I value them for that. Much more than many other tech companies that do use their legal department as an offensive weapon.
I'm the guy who wrote the reply that pops up first when you read that Quora thread.

Here's the short story (and I know all of this because the guy who invented the core engine for ParAccel's MPP columnar tech, that is the foundation for Redshift, is one of our early advisors).

- ParAccel developed the tech for a columnar storage database. I believe it was called "matrix"

- Amazon AWS bought the source code from ParAccel, limited for use as a cloud service, i.e. they couldn't create another on-premise version that would compete with ParAccel

- ParAccel then sold to Actian, and a few years ago Actian shelved the product as clearly the on-premise world had lost to cloud warehouses.

The reason AWS bought the source code was time-to-market. It would have taken too long to build a product from scratch, and customers were asking for a cloud warehouse. Back then, ParAccel had by far the best and fastest MPP / columnar tech, plus it's very attractive since it's based on Postgres.

So Actian and Amazon AWS essentially had the same tech, just different distribution models. One is on-premise (Actian), the other one a managed cloud service (AWS). We all know who won.

there's very interesting paper by the Amazon RDS team (where Redshift rolls up). It's not only about "faster, better, cheaper" - it really is about simplicity and that's what Redshift delivered on.

https://event.cwi.nl/lsde/papers/p1917-gupta.pdf

Spin up a cluster in less than 5 minutes and get results within 15 min. Keep in mind, this was all in late 2012, so what appears "normal" today was pure magic back then.

but ever since the "fork", i.e. when AWS purchased a snapshot in time of the code base, the products have obviously diverged. There's some 8 years of development now in Amazon Redshift.
I don't know what's your definition of "closely", but for a while I was watching most new videos they would put out. I guess it comes down to Buzzfeed using a lot of social media channels (YouTube, Facebook etc.) which is not a good thing in terms of discoverability of the other things they do (e.g. news). Basically I would follow the YT channels or the FB pages and rarely if ever visit their website.

Oracle doesn’t actually print money. They are cash-rich but are struggling to convert long-suffering customers from on-prem products to their cloud equivalents. Nobody trusts them; you can sort-of deal with a crocodile that shows up once a year to collect, but when you go SaaS you are basically walking by the crocodile all the time, hoping it won’t bite you with higher prices at a day’s notice. And their support is not very good either, which again is more critical in saas scenarios than on-prem.

In this situation, a significant new revenue stream ( an Android tax) is definitely worth fighting for. And Ellison loves lawyers; he even sued to compete in the America’s Cup...
What? Are you fking serious? We have to invest tens of trillions in scalable carbon sequestration right now or there's no future for anyone except to starve or be part of another world war.
