That was my point? In that there’s no benefit to the child to be in someone else’s care with a bunch of other kids for the first 6 months at least, and probably quite a lot older than that.
I often think about how Isaac Asimov, perhaps the greatest of all science fiction writers, predicted in his Foundation trilogy that wilderness on Earth would be sacrificed by humanity to serve human wants and aspirations. The entire Earth, save the Imperial Palace, would be developed and urbanized. How sad.
I totally agree with that. I've good experiences recommending Quicksy[1][2] though. It makes not only account creation easy as pie, but also helps people finding their peers by their phone numbers.

Give it to your average Joes and Janes and they will just use it like any other messenger. But since it is pure XMPP, can just use any other Jabber account to chat with them. :)

I recommended it a lot the last weeks and most of my pals just use it without any hassle. At least in my bubble most of the people have besides WhatsApp also Telegram or Viber or WhatEver installed. So it's for them Quicksy is just yet another app. But this time one, which helps to get out of the walled garden. :)

Hello everybody, author here. I hope you enjoy my tiny project.

Regarding language, I chose Javascript for three reasons:

- the (ab)use of `eval` lets you do all sorts of sorcery, like instant evaluation

- the JS Redux library makes it easy to work with state, and I couldn't have implemented SCRIPT-8's time-traveling debugger without it

- I dream in Javascript

I love Lua's small footprint, and very early on I considered writing SCRIPT-8 in MoonScript, which compiles to Lua and has gorgeous syntax. Maybe some day.

And yes, my fantasy computer is definitely not the only open source project, there's several out there, and probably all of them are more stable than mine. Go check them out.
This app works pretty well.
I turn it on during hackathons etc, to show work done.

I'm surprised to see no mention of decision paralysis. Hanging over every decision is a meta decision of how much effort to spend in making it (and so on, recursively). Given all the unpredictability the author points out, many decisions don't get much more benefit from much more thought.
Exactly. And you see it with more than just automation. It's the "they took er jerbs!!! we need a wall to protect our way of life!" knee-jerk reaction.
The state of lowly workers improved more or less continuously from 1800 on, despite the great wealth during the "guilded age".

No country has ever succeeded in improving the lot of the poor by destroying the wealthy.
I don't understand why they use AES though.
>Footnote:in the long run if society survives the initial shock, I predict it will actually lead to a resurgence in artisanal crafts to manufacture bespoke items that are prized not because they are perfect or the best, but because they are unique and have a back story.

I'd say this has been happening for one or two decades already.
Well, very similar to one I just released (even in name)[1]. Specifically, I targeted taking one problem through several network iterations. I think it can be overwhelming to go through all those different networks. Once you get the basics new networks don’t aren’t really too difficult. I haven’t taken their class before (and wouldn’t want to spend money). I think that’s a huge barrier, there’s not much of a reason to require setup on sagemaker.

Years ago I used PayPal to pay for an on demand server that was advertised to be ready within an hour. Twenty four hours and zero servers later, I had already gone to a competitor and asked for a refund. The company refused and PayPal sided with them. American Express sided with me. I closed my PayPal account forever that day.

Now we have even better tools available for subscriptions. Check out privacy card.
That is certainly possible. What would you use it for?
>honestly, i'd like to be the judge of if a theory is crackpot or not. i'm not a kid, i don't need youtube to save me from "bad information".

If your local library or city center decided to prohibit a local white supremacy group from putting up flyers on their billboards recommending Holocaust conspiracy theory materials, would you criticize them the same way? I'm curious about why people seem to have very different standards for public spaces and websites moderating themselves.
This is a man who regards his users as "Dumb fucks". No one should be surprised.

My original point: "expand the current rail system so that it can handle even more freight as well as performant passenger service."

Right of ways are challenging. It's not about pushing freight off of existing lines, it's about investing in the rails we have now so that capacity and speed can be enhanced.

privacy.com breaks the back button in my browser. How do they do that?
Why paid? Why not boring old OMEMO on XMPP? Each user gets to decide if they use a free or paid for server/client.
Okay, I guess I can see that. Would have been clearer if they just said what they meant. I live somewhere (not in America) where having 3 kids and hating kale means you look normal. It isn't some code for "very overweight".
Don't be such a greyface.
Correct. Key verification is done by looking at signatures on a given user's linked social networks / websites etc
The real question is whether Facebook is the worst invention of all time, or just of the past 100 years.
But tourists drive prices up for markets that aren't regulated like hotels or restaurants, Healthcare is regulated and we will probably see some kind of legislation towards this issue with the new Mexican government, it probably will make it even cheaper for you guys to come here but you will have to enroll on our socialized healthcare.
No, freight gets to use the existing rails. We just invest in expanding capacity on the existing right of ways (with a minimum of eminent domain to widen when possible).
One of the most annoying things about us Americans is that we are really bad at working Federalism to our advantage and tend to align our national politics with our State politics with our local politics. At the end of the day, I no more care about policy in Alabama than I do France or Thailand and would be happier if the national government actually did butt out of State and Local affairs wherever it doesn’t actually in any meaningful capacity affect the national interest. We could really do with a smaller definition and scope of what encompasses the national interest as well.

Then you have Reds and Blues, I’m not going to dignify them by referring to them by what they consider themselves to be because their “leadership” are both a bunch of filthy liars. When the Blues control the national government, the Reds are all about them States’ Rights. When the Reds control the national government, it is up to the Blues to resist! That is to say, there isn’t a coherent political ideology to be found here.

So zoom back in to San Francisco for a bit, and the controlling ideology isn’t one singular ideology, it’s a Board of Supervisors that is largely working for the benefit of property owners and corporate interests. The progressives have done more to shore up property values and the moderates have done more to attract and retain businesses. Neither of them gives a damn about large scale infrastructure. Neither of them gives a damn if we who are from SF actually get to make a life here.

The controlling interests are in no way completely dysfunctional, they are accomplishing their objectives by making it more difficult to actually increase residential density or expand infrastructure to accommodate the influx of residents.

Sacramento has a similar only slightly more diverse set of players, and most California cities, particularly around the Bay, are playing the same game of shoring up property values while trying to attract businesses. Actual residents get left out in the cold, or convinces to vote one way or the other because this or that faction is slightly more agreeable than this one over here, and are willing to throw a few bones their way on some generally fairly unimportant issues.

We spend more time debating the merits of plastic straws or selling fur than we do figuring out how to run safe needle exchanges to keep needles out of the streets, staff and clean some public restrooms with showers to keep piss and shit out of the streets and build some damn apartments to keep people out of the streets. Ironically the Board of Supervisors has done a bang up job of keeping scooters out of the sidewalks in the most ham fisted manner they could muster.

We can have high quality nuanced debates all we want about whatever bourgeois bullshit comes down the sewer, but we can’t get behind the simple idea of building the infrastructure we actually need so kids who grow up here, their schoolteachers, and our neighbors can find an affordable place to live here in this damnable city. Maybe our ideologies aren’t the issue here, maybe it’s just that We the People actually suck.
> You seem to be against people putting out content that don't align with your views

Not GP, but I see this a lot as a retort to people who make the claims they did and I tend to call BS on it.

I strongly suspect there is an extremely broad library of "content that doesn't align with their views", including an extremely broad spectrum of political views, they would have zero issues with on YouTube.

Somehow, climate denialism, antivax content (and other health hazards), holocaust denial, general nazi shit etc are consistently not part of that.

Now GP can come in, correct me and tell me that they want everything they ever would disagree with off Youtube for good. But somehow, I suspect they won't.

So, tangential to your post but, tell me: why is it that there's such a consistently-easy-to-define line for content that a lot of people think should be kept off various platforms, and why the hell is it that, whenever I see someone defending such content, it's almost always someone who belongs in the category of people who believe in said content, rather than a staunch defender of free speech.

I ask this knowing full well there are many people I hold in very high esteem, who legitimately do defend extremely vile shit they disagree with, based on free speech principles. Most of those people I personally know work at the EFF and I've never heard them say much about deplatforming nazis. (could it be because free speech is a government thing, not a youtube thing …)
....care to elaborate? I think its perfectly reasonable
The US is not Japan.
Pretty much this. Limiting cars in metro areas can make sense but it makes zero sense in the rest of the country. If it does happen it will turn into another contentious rural vs urban subject similar to gun rights.
I think when the GP says new, he meant newest entry in their history. His problem is that watching one unusual video immediately and dramatically biases the recommendation engine at the expense of videos that match his long term viewing habits.

What you’re after already exists, the “recently uploaded” section on the home page.
When they wrestled that mail-server from under my desk in my apartment.

(No they didn't; it's an imaginary future doomsday scenario).
No it's not. TIC-80 is open source and there are other open source fantasy consoles. The killer feature here is the Bret Victor inspired live coding support.
So, in some sense this is a limitation of starcraft. The goal of this project is presumably have the AI play a high strategic depth game. However, with sufficiently high micro certain strategies that have low "macro depth" become unbeatable. So it's true the AI would win, but it plays in ways that do not expand our understanding of SC strategy, it is simply using a simple to understand and impossible for human to execute strategy. Think of aimbot in a shooting game, a human can try to play smart and attack from unusual angles/lay traps/crossfires, but if the AI can simply get instant headshots the AI can run straight to objective and win. It would be a winning play, and humans understand why it would be a winning play (boringly so), but it is outside of human execution.
How Can I Get Vaccinated If My Parents Are Anti-Vaccine?
Here is a nice tell tale to differentiate between the good and the bad: get a partner to be present during all the initial meetings, negotiations and during the dd phase. It will help tremendously in figuring out which vcs are really in the market for you and which ones are just window shopping. Partner time is expensive.
I think automation will succeed where humans hate to do the job because it's too monotonous, risky or unhealthy - fruit picking, Foxconn, mining etc. It also makes the most economic sense to automate those jobs. Knowledge workers' jobs on the other hand - it'll be much easier for employers to put downward pressure on the salaries of those jobs than to replace them with automation due to higher automation costs and risks.

If it works out like that and the displaced workers are supported by their governments with equivalent income that will be a net positive. Those whose skills are still in demand will have jobs, others will have UBI and not many will complain.

However we don't learn anything - UBI will never come in time and there will be a lot of needless suffering and upheaval as a result of hurried, ill-managed drive towards automation.

There is also the whole identity crisis thing - many people equate their worth with their job and not having one will make for a lot of unhappy people.

Interesting times indeed.
And how do you propose to relocate all of these people to live in that urban paradise of yours, where they walk to anything and everything? Are you even going to ask them if they want to? Not everybody wants to live in a big city and values the same conveniences as you do.
EU is open to accessions because eastern countries will be forced to accept refugees, it's all about the numbers here and we all missing the point. Truth is "Macedonian" citizens have nothing to do with the actual ancient Greek history, they're just a bunch of some Slavs came from north, changed their name from FYROM to Macedonia. Greeks on the other hand think that "Macedonians" are trying to start a territorial dispute in the next few years and reclaim a Greek region also called Macedonia and that's one of the the main reason they protesting these days. There's also an organized territorial propaganda from FYROM but in the end it's just a small country without strong allies. I don't know why Greeks are so paranoid, both contries should be cooperating peacefuly without so much hate.
So, all of the same sorts of scaling problems as inetd?
There is nothing worse than watching a live debugging session. On the flipside, DeepMind did a great job with their StarCraft presentation yesterday, showing pre-recorded commentary/analysis as well as select highlights. These types of talks (with animations, etc.) should definitely supplant live coding.
there is an infinite amount of work to be done. There are needs unfulfilled today because there arent enough people and therefore the price is too high.

There will always be work that machines cant do.
Probably not.

The part that’s missing in the article is that the reservation is a major hub of smuggling and various frauds.

How do posts like this end up at #2 on the front page with just one comment? Websocketd doesn't strike me as an particularly popular or well known tool.
It's free and there are no ads, and you can run it for free on colab or GCP.

I have no idea about where your sagemaker comment comes from.
[Disclaimer - I work at Microsoft and have worked on developers events for many years] now with that said, I have seen both some amazing sessions, and some terrible ones. Live coding alone is typically not the single biggest problem, but an important element of the bigger picture. Simply put, a great presentation is certainly not easy and involves balancing many things.

If anyone cares to see my example (as-in, in my opinion) of one of the best session we did recently, skim this 1-hour Connect(); 2018 Scott Hanselman keynote and I would honestly love to hear what you think of the approach we took.

Well, I didn't mean every requirement of course. I meant the code that gets things working the right way when a cursory view of the code doesn't tell the whole story. I wouldn't question a button color without good reason to do so, but what if that single button was green when every other was blue? What if the button we're shaped like a camel, or called an API in a non-standard way?
Just because they have the data doesn't necessarily mean that they use it. They might rely on some javascript XHR to tell them when a video is really watched. Just guessing here.
Even with dual citizenship, people can't just send their kids to a Canadian school if it's not their primary residence. In BC you have to show proof of location to register a kid for school, either you own your home, or you show a copy of your lease, utility bills, etc.

If I had to guess they were using relatives' houses claimed as their actual residential address. This has been a problem in Vancouver recently with people claiming false residence addresses to register their kids for the "good" elementary schools in yaletown and kitsilano.
You live in a city, San Francisco is safe compared to most cities.
The Telegraph Apologizes
Recommendation systems are often too specific, full of recency bias. I use YouTube for classical music while I'm working, so I play several hours of video every day. My feed is full of similar videos that are all the same! YouTube can step it up by offering a wider variety of potential interesting videos.
I think the velocity of the votes and the unique-ness of their geography matters a lot more than comments or discussions.
You also could have cited this part:

> expand the current rail system so that it can handle even more freight as well as performant passenger service.

I never suggested sacrificing freight traffic in any way, actually the opposite.
Fine, but as of right now I need work to pay for the education I got 4 years ago(50k), the doctor visits/ct scan I got this month(2k), and the food I need on my table every night.
What exactly do you mean? Answers like these are too chronocentric.

This automation will be no different than the early proto-hominid hunter put out of his job because someone made a spear. Or the scribes that died out because of the printing press.

Everything that can be automated will eventually be automated.
Indeed. The same newspaper that decry automation also complain about the future lack of workers available to take care of elderly.
Lol. I don’t want relevant ads. I want no ads.
If you agree to pay someone $X every month, then unless you tell them you don't want the service any more, you are still liable for the payment.
While I tried to make it clear that I found their behavior inappropriate my direct answer in the context of universities and alumni and hospitals and patients is:

If your dad was walking around asking for and getting hand jobs left and right so brazenly that the givers wanted to name your father's dick after then, then you would probably be foolish not to at least try to ask for one yourself and see what happens.
It’ll be a problem because ultimately the people who own all the capital won’t need anyone else to survive. They’ll build walls and robot guards and live in their utopias of plenty while everyone else starves.
Yes, the difference seems to be that Munich has lots of bike paths.
Why can’t I send them to some other service?
I make mine in chronological order!

It's actually just a playlist setting for the creator but the default is reverse and that makes the whole list useless. You even have chrome and firefox plugins to fix it.

I also link the playlist in each youtube description but unfortunately they are not so easy to spot on app/tv/game consoles.

Also, in this case I think it's OK to youtube-dl the list and play them in order locally.
I'd be interested to know if anybody has used this in production. I've used Websocketd for quick and dirty prototyping and making things like in-browser monitoring tools and it was very fast to setup, but a full-fledged library like Gorilla or uWebsockets seems more practical for real-world applications with thousands or more simultaneous users.

This was a long time ago. NY Times article says $44 for a carton in Ontario versus $15 or so in the US.

Obviously different times. However, the increase in taxes in the US made even higher taxes in Canada possible.
It does seem the press is a little trigger-happy these days, doesn't it?
I think we've killed the "automation will allow us to kill off all the workers" idea. Automation isn't going to kill work.
Websocketd is neat. It inspired me to make the websocket directive in Caddy: https://caddyserver.com/docs/websocket
> The gym, the newspapers or tinder will charge you ahead for the next month. If they can't charge you, they terminate your access and it ends the contract. You stop paying and you stop being able to use the service

Maybe it's different in the UK but many people have got caught out assuming this is the case for gyms.

If you sign a contract saying you will pay £X each month until you cancel then just stop paying, you still owe the money.

Things like this were a constant source of frustration at google. The philosophy there was to streamline the experience for showing ads to the masses rather than provide any features for power users. Feature requests like this were brushed off by labeling the requester "not the target user".

I guess we all know this by now, but google doesn't care about your being able to use its products in a reasonable way. In some sense, this makes sense since I bet the overlap of power users and people with ad blockers is pretty high.

I'm an avid Pico-8/fantasy computer fan, and this is a really nice project. There have been quite a number of fantasy consoles coming out within the past few years, so it's nice to see one that offers features that the others don't, rather than simply "Pico-8, but with a twist". The live coding window and sliders in particular are simple things that increase QoL.

Others have noted that the use of JS is somewhat of a turn off, but even as a big Lua fan myself, it doesn't really bother me, I already have one (probably more than one) Lua fantasy console that covers my wishes. However, the author's comment here did mention adding MoonScript support, which would be something I would be very interested in.
How so? Seems like they should be able to move to a smaller city and live in an area that doesn't have capacity roadway capacity problems as well...
NewPipe is great. I'm honestly kind of surprised that it's allowed on the play store.
