I'm semi-surprised that many people considered SF and SV synonymous. I moved to Palo Alto in 84 and they have always seemed to have quite different technical cultures (though SF has changed a lot more over the years in that regard than the valley has). I did at various times live in SF too but the pull of the Valley was too strong.

There have been VCs in SF for almost as long as there have been VCs BTW. Hummer Winblad was the first to set up in then-sleepy Southpark back in the mid 90s (before then the SF investors were mostly in the financial district) and there were a lot of VC satellite offices opening up in SF in the late 90s for the 2000 internet boom. Since about 2000 every one of my companies has been funded by a mix of SV and SF investors.

I was surprised last year to read that SF funding exceeded SV funding by a large amount on a dollar basis. I assume that reflects the costs of trying to rapidly scale retail businesses.

Yes, there's a pretty major difference between this and the story it's referencing about in-app Facebook tracking. (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19319215)

Sites running tracking pixels are consciously tracking their users and feeding info to advertising players for their own benefit. I suspect many people would be surprised that this happens even when you're not signed into the relevant service and don't see anything like a "share this on Facebook" icon, but the basic concept of browser tracking isn't that weird. That pixel on The Verge didn't end up their by accident.

On the other hand, the Facebook SDK fires an event every time you open an app using it - by default, even if you aren't signed into Facebook, even if the app's creator never intended that behavior and gets no benefit from it. And, of course, auditing or controlling app behavior and data exchange is way harder than doing the same for browsers. The average person who runs uBlock or Privacy Badger still isn't emulating every app they download to study its behavior.
This site has no focus. What is the point of yet another feel good site, that ultimately wants to make money by selling their view of "south asia" ?
Again, net neutrality is about the network and not the policies of edge services that happen to use the network. Unless you are claiming that an ISP is blocking traffic to appease a payment processor you are talking about something that is completely irrelevant and serves only to distract from the actual issue here.

Since you need this explained: when I said that in a world of net neutrality you can set up your own edge service, I was talking about the technical ability to do so and not whether or not some other problem would stop you. Maybe no payment processors are willing to work with you and you cannot afford to pay for the kind of connection your service demands. Equally possible is that you simply lack the technical skills needed to set up an edge service and cannot find or afford to pay someone to do it for you. Maybe you are just too busy. None of the above is relevant to the debate over net neutrality because net neutrality only concerns the operation of the network itself and not the endless other factors that might impact your ability to run whatever applications you intend to run.

There are some hugely perverse incentives in western society where you aren't guaranteed shelter, food, and medicine while the world is overflowing with extravagance and wealth.

This isn't making your poor comfortable, its about human decency.

My take on this is that they probably were insolvent for a long time already due to previous hacks/theft. The CEO just decided to lie about the supposedly 137M in funds 'safely' stored on his laptop.

A few experiences here from people who did this and worked out nicely. I also know a good amount of stories of people who bought property with their partners and didn't turn out ok. Now take that risk and multiply it by the number of people involved.

But my biggest issue with this approach is that it doesn't solve the underlying issue of housing affordability. Essentially it says "you need 4 incomes to buy a house now", which will enable prices to keep on rising. What will happen when prices keep on rising and 4 incomes are not enough? Where will the limit be.

"Is buying with friends the future of housing?" I hope that if I do it it's because I want to, not because it's what I need to do to put a roof over my head.

(off the cuff answer) Well the basic acceptance criteria should relate to the research goals, so that the exploration is focussed in some sense.

There is clearly scope for iteration here. If I was assessing an open ended exploratory project, I'd expect to see that a problem space has been defined and that some sort of question has been posed within it. Yes, it might take some time to find out what the question actually is, and the question might be to some extent retrofitted.

Once the question has been defined then you can imagine research subgoals that involve creating the required tooling / infrastructure, collecting test data, running a trial, analysing the outputs, etc. Actual software dev activities should be traced back to one of these research subgoals, or you'd have to question why they are being conducted at all.

> Acceptance criteria are hard to lock down, especially in new projects

In industry research teams it is essential to lock them down at some point and you may not get paid if you don't complete against them (accepting that a negative result might be a valid research outcome). This ability to focus was the hardest thing I had to learn when I transitioned from academic to industry research. Even in an open-ended exploratory academic context, you still do need to prove, as the GP said, that you have in some sense answered a question.

Better to have an answer that is wrong, than something that isn't an answer at all.
In the US 2 single people who jointly own a home can EACH deduct the interest on up to $1m loan. So consider having a legal agreement for joint ownership instead. I’ve done this and deduct an extra $20k.
Outside the sphere of crypto, this is called "washing" or "laundering" ("cleaned", etc. Anything along this line). "Laundering" is the legal term). Such acts are typically traceable, but generally fly under the radar. Once someone is aware that the money is being washed it is usually uncovered (AFAIK).

Washing crypto would seem even more difficult because transactions are all accounted for. So I'd assume a cleaner would need to have random time variance in redistribution so collisions aren't found. But also, money has to be spent or converted, so that's a big way you could uncover it. Money is harder because cash is still a thing.

1) See that money is transferred from account to washer (instant flag)

2) Search for accounts associated with initial fraud and watch for extraction.

It's a "surprise" only to the extent that Facebook's leaders have been hauled before Congress and promised under oath they value privacy. Or something like that. The insidious thing here is: to the layperson, Facebook has promised to the government to play by some rules, so they must not be doing anything too harmful, or else they'd be in trouble.

Sometimes it's hard not to take a step back and wonder if the singularity has already occurred. Corporations are, in more ways than one, a form of Artificial Intelligence. They are greater than the sum of their parts, they possess attrition tolerance (i.e. any single node can be removed and the corporation will continue), and no single individual can understand the whole breadth of its execution in detail or hold it in their head. They have this almost emergent intelligence about them where corporations as a whole can decide to do things that individuals would find abhorrent. There is no one person who pushes the button. All of them who push the button as a part of this new entity that we've created.

This AI doesn't have morality and it can never have morality simply because they aren't human. Individuals have morals. Corporations have objectives. And their objective is to maximize economic utility at all costs. So they launder money for drug lords and terrorists https://www.foxnews.com/world/hsbc-knowingly-helped-mexican-... https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/hsbc-holdings-plc-and-hsbc-ba... . Knowingly kill human beings in clinical trials http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/04/02/pfizer.bextra/index.htm... . And undermine the commons to maximize their utility towards their ends.

While capitalism as a whole isn't an AI, it is an amazing computational process that has produced the greatest advancements in the standard of living in history. But the process is also similarly unmoved and lacking in human morality simply because it isn't human. It takes the route of lowest resistance and it creates to satisfy the utility function that it is computing. And that's it.

Is it a shock that these processes have exposed these vulnerabilities in our society?

The other commenters are making some very good points about how fundamental dimensionality is in studying vector spaces.

Just wanted to add that if you'd like to take a more set-theoretic approach to the topic of dimensionality, you might be interested in Matroid theory, which is a generalization of the notion of linear independence in linear algebra.

The thing with Chess (or Go) is that unless you've a club in your area or a skilled relative, you're playing alone against an AI or playing online.

It's of course much more exciting to play against skilled human players. In particular your parents or your childhood friends while growing up. But unless you're living in some large city you might not find many other offline options after you start beating all of them.

That leaves you with a choice between going "pro" to some degree or another, playing online against other people, and playing against an AI (online or not). I'm honestly at a loss to give you an unbiased view of which is most interesting, since I've seldom found the time to play Chess in the past decade or two. What I do know though is that no bot gives you good social interactions.

My understanding of the latest-gen Pdox games is that parts of the AI are shared at the level of the Clausewitz engine, and that Clausewitz in turn was developed for EU3, but designed as an extremely general engine for 2D games, not even just GSGs. So in some ways the HOI4 AI, for instance, is using techniques that might have worked great for EU3 (and, in my experience, worked fairly well in Victoria II, if you treat the economy separately), but are now unsuitable.

I'm interested as to whether they've improved the AI in Imperator - not that I'm going to buy it - as the Jomini sub-engine was supposed to streamline a lot of the "cruft" that had built up between 2007 and now.

As to your point RE: OPMs going on world conquests, I think that's part of Paradox's cross-franchise decision to move away from historicality and towards more "casual" gameplay (i.e., map painting), not just between EU3 - 4 but HOI3 - 4 as well; and ultimately has more to do with their balance choices for the player than the strength of the AI.

I do think that, as it stands, HOI4 and EU4 are at the same level as certain competitive games, where instead of trying to play historically, many players just wait for the next patch's balancing to over-correct in favour of some set of poor AI choices, and possibly for Reman's Paradox to explain it to them, and then exploit that to their advantage. Making the AI more competent, and removing the need for balancing and overcorrecting, would remove that perceived ability to exploit a broken enemy, and thus some of the desire from the playerbase for map-painting over historical accuracy.
