Thanks a lot, what you're saying makes a lot of sense, and I completely agree with all of it.

I added a note to my question, but basically the situation I'm in is that I am currently living in a country where there isn't that much technology being produced, and I am in the process of moving out.

What I'm wondering is if it's possible to start a freelancing career strictly online, although I know it's definitely not the ideal way to do it.
Designing Security for Billions

It’s not ironic if one understands that his larger motivation is to “privatize the profits and socialize the costs” as opposed to a coherent worldview about the role of government in providing services.

Delays in pulse width modulation are easily overcome with lower bandwidth and/or error correction coding: a function of Shannon’s limit.
I don't believe Intel (whose implementation of encryption this targets) have an IOMMU for PCIe. For UPI (or whatever inter-socket protocol is going on), it wouldn't make sense to have an IOMMU since cores need permission to do arbitrary reads anyway.

Although "appears" is a weasel word there because they definitely did.
I wish we could, but I'm afraid the international military projection of the US would make this impossible to enforce.
Fair enough, though the separation into categories possibly helps somewhat. If someone is reading r/some-topic-they-are-interested in, it wouldn't also show them stories about, say, cops shooting unarmed civilians in the back 67 times, in between the topic-specific content.

This is probably different on the main page though.
Oh wow, even just trying to read the "Internet is the great equalizer (1996)" article runs into a paywall. That's where we've come.
> If someone else can do the job better than you or me, they should be hired...

OK, but that's not what is happening.

You're ignoring the fact that this is more about cheap labor than about some unreachable meritocratic ideal of finding "the best person" for the job.

The end game of this will be that these "high-skill" jobs will go the way of manufacturing, and eventually the USA will end up with huge swathes of the population unable to compete in the global economy, poorer, less educated and with a diminishing social safety net.
What this article is also missing is the fact that a lot of the existing data problems have to do with the cost of obtaining this data. When we move to a more universal collection of the data in a structured format that can then be used to further train the model, you actually end up with a better representation.

However, this all falls apart with the current access to healthcare. If the access is not universal, then you can’t expect the results to be anywhere near equal or at least similar. We really need to solve the healthcare access problem.

The other item I find questionable is the example with home-based rehab vs a facility. Sure, for better-off patients with a good home environment, transportation, good food, etc., being in that good/positive environment will likely lead to better outcomes. However, if the person doesn’t have that, is that still better than a facility? Would be great if we saw data adjusted for this disparity.
Ummm, think of those dedicated phones between two ATM switches in the old days.

That's not accurate. And there are Americans who are very far to the left. Anybody making blanket statements starting with "all Americans" or "no Americans" is guilty of generalization.
Why Alexa Won't Wake Up When She Hears Her Name in Amazon's Super Bowl Ad
Dr Khullar suggests that AI will exacerbate biases in medical practice. His fundamental concern is that machine learning will codify biases and become self-fulfilling prophesies. But there is scant evidence that AI will worsen these disparities.

If anything, a machine-learning point of view better addresses his concerns than a traditional one, because they can be much more quickly updated to correct for identified biases. Doctors spend years and years of hard work becoming efficient and effective human algorithms themselves, and updating those human algorithms in the face of newer evidence is difficult. In standard practice, biases are often invisible and uncodified to begin with. "Moral intuition" is something all doctors use, but it's also something of a black box in nearly every real-world use case.

Of course you want multi-cellular life. It's the only known answer of nature capable of particle physics, space exploration and postulating one's bad ideas on HN.

You shouldn't become that agnostic to your place in the universe, and unless a couple of much better reasons aren't more obvious to you, at least because people will think you like insulting yourself, together with your entire branch of life, that also includes the reader.
I don’t buy the analogy. Do we look back at TV saying the same thing? Granted we have to learn how we can live in balance with smartphones and the always-in mentality. Compared to cigarettes there are a lot of positives things you can do with smartphones.

Not going to war with N. Korea, Russia and Saudi Arabia is a good thing. Trump has lessened tensions, he should get credit for that. As an American, I don't want to fight a war with these countries.

I agree with you on Iran for the same reasons though.

Unbreakable encryption is a thing though. It's called one-time-pad and it doesn't require any sort of fancy algorithms. As long as your random key is the same length as the message, the decryption is literally unbreakable(because the contents could decode into literally any other message of the same length).

What would the monthly subscription have to cost to make it financially worthwhile? I drive a bought and paid for car and if they could move me to and from work for $200/month our household would happily become a one car household. That bought and paid for car still costs me $75/mo insurance, ~$40/mo gas, amortization of the purchase price is probably in the $150/mo range, and since it’s 8 years old increasing maintenance costs. Additionally it will eventually need to be replaced which costs many thousands.

I don’t think a subscription model is too far fetched at all. We definitely intend to at least consider being a one car household, even at current ride share prices, when the current secondary car reaches end of life.
The UK has always had a lot going for it, and the City of London has been the banking capital of the world long before the EU. With them leaving the EU they will become more competitive even if only by having to compete a bit more.
The Germans and the French cannot provide the same regulatory framework as is provided by the city.

I’m surprised their isn’t more discussion about the German domination of the EU. The current structure is not sustainable, and Britain leaving will make that more evident quickly. I would not be surprised if the Dutch are waiting to see where Britain leeds before jumping ship themselves.

not necessarily - the data could be used to understand overall usage patterns and preferences in the target population as a whole - much in the same way as traditional surveys and focus groups. If indeed it is put into ML which then tries to match the data with the actual participants, then I agree that that is misrepresentation and probably criminal.
I dont'agree with the Israeli occupation of foreign territories but I don't see what that has to do with the US's sanctions against Iran. Are you trying to say that the sanctions against Iran are bad, because there are no US sanctions against Israel?

>> As an European, I just don't get the Israeli fixation with Iran,

Well I'm a European too but I can completely understand that a country which repeatedly has announced its intention to wipe Israel of the earth gets more than usual attention from the Israeli's.

It was a different era. All the marketing press was talking about how focused search, like Amazon and Facebook's own search systems, would be the death of Google. They seemed to believe it.
Both. They shouldn't have so much info, but since they do, then how come it's not used to make user-facing features work well?
Not quite SMTP, but yeah. It's whole normal transport system. Add on to that things like integration with conference call systems (eg: Skype) for meeting and dial-in setup, conference room scheduling (Room Finder), and it's honestly a really nice tool for business use. It does a lot of things that users really like.

> But this addiction is much easier to break for most people than an addiction to something like say cigarettes (or even sugar).

Physically? I presume you're right. But here's the problem; you don't need cigarettes to accomplish any other expected, daily task in your life. You need your phone for a whole bunch of useful tasks that aren't health-depleting. I once read someone explain eating disorders in a similar way. You still need to eat, so you can't simply kick the root of your problem out of your life forever.
The security tended to get tighter and tighter as time went by and more... "permeations" were discovered. So I expect security around the iron curtain in the '60s was a bit more lax than in the '80s. If the Berlin wall is any example, it was.

This is only true in absolute numbers, because the US started so much higher than the rest of the world.

https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/EN.ATM.CO2E.PC?location...

Even though it started lower, Europe has been reducing its emissions at a faster rate. In 2014, Europe was at 63% of its peak of emissions, whereas the US were at 72%.

The slope in log scale gives it away too (from the same data set, comparing US (orange) and Eurozone (blue) since 1971): https://i.imgur.com/099XLIw.png
You don't really get to control min-wage laws, working standards or environmental regulations over the long term in a tariff free world. US trade deficits are growing and will inevitably have to be normalized. When that happens the US will have to become a lot more competitive with nations that don't have these standards in place. Stagnated wages are just the beginning and are borrowing time before labour standards and environmental standards are forced to equalize with the East.

I can certainly see room for exemptions. Like if your SaaS covers police investigations in progress and such, makes a lot of sense that they don't fork over anything with that or sensitive architecture information.

We see enough people profiting from these wars to wonder how much global conflict is manufactured. I hope we stop buying in.

We, the people, are pretty powerless here. Lobbyists and elected officials have too much power and election cycles are too far apart. So even when recent American military action gets relatively low support from Americans [0], neither congress nor the president has any motivation to do anything about it.

> it's that the deal that's being offered by the EU is awful.

That's because full membership was already the best deal the EU had to offer. A lot of UK politicians seem to live inside a dream world where they think the remaining EU members are obliged to make major concessions without anything in return because a no-deal brexit surely hurts them, a little bit, too.

Also the most disliked thing seems to be the backstop, where exactly is the practical alternative proposal for making sure the Good Friday Agreement is not broken?
> As an European, I just don't get the Israeli fixation with Iran,

I agree, but let's not forget also the ridiculous fixation of Iran with Israel, which is even more senseless. I do not understand where the Irani animosity towards Israel comes from. Both countries are surrounded by arabs that hate them, wouldn't they all be better of as best buddies?
Oh man I bet I have stuff in there ;)
Not a great analogy. A better one would be the automobile, IMO. Incredibly freeing and powerful, but pushed by actors for ethically dubious reasons and capable of massive negative societal effects if left unchecked.
1. Create a facade abstraction (it could be a microservice, API or even command line app) over the expensive to test thing. Make the abstraction really dumb and easy to test manually in isolation from the rest of the app. Integration test only against the abstraction, not the real thing and do a minimal level of end to end manual testing against the real thing.

2. Don't. If you don't have fixed requirements your tests will have negative ROI.
How can you argue against what I said, it takes profound willingness to ignore precise words to accomplish that. I did not say all accidents I said majority are. If you consider a mosquito hitting the windshield of an airplane when it's parked on the ground and no passenger in it an accident that's your problem. Of course I meant an accident that happens during flight as that's the vast majority of the time that people are in an airplane and when they're worrying about dying.

Speaking personally, I just don't get enjoyment out of opening up Facebook. I'm either seeing posts from college friends I haven't talked to in nearly a decade, or posts from friends I talk to often and don't really need Facebook to connect us.

So what's the point? I don't like or comment on anything on Facebook. I don't post anything on Facebook. I just open it up to mindlessly scroll. I don't need that. I have other sites that I believe are better uses of time to mindlessly scroll (this site included).

Please define "strongly".

I know many people who really dislike Facebook, but still use it for business reasons or since their parents, best friend, local community, ... use it to share information or scheduling events.

There is a kernel of truth to this, in that today geography is less an issue than it used to be.

Unfortunately for Brexiteers who use this as an argument for No-Deal Brexit being an opportunity, however, geography was a big consideration for how pretty much every company in the world has set up its supply chains and partners.
There's an issue of terminology here. What you describe is not a right, it's an obligation. If some action is a right, you can choose not to do it.

So you're saying that a human is obligated to live for the maximum span of time possible. Does it still not sound weird?

Rhetorics aside, the power to turn yourself off is very important. Taking away this power has been used throughout history as a means to intensify torture. For someone in suffering, the power to end your life can literaly be the difference between complete powerlessness and empowerment. I've been through a few bouts of depression and can confirm this first-hand.
Nothing prevents people from writing automated tests except their own shortsightedness.
