Just so long as there is never a requirement for a subsection of "awesome lists that do not contain themselves".
What you described is most of my interview experiences and what I would actually call a modern interview.
No, this is definitely not running at desktop speeds. I have a Ryzen 7 2700, and this thing lags often even with basic UI operations (clicking buttons and menus, dragging objects). Now imagine someone with a dual-core laptop CPU... this will be even worse. It certainly feels like this is a web app rather than a native one.

You think they do that in gitmo?
Good catch. Here's the 3rd tweet:

The lists are curated. Maybe superficially, but that gets 80% of the job done and is extremely good at filtering out crap. I'd say the level of effort is just right for making the lists broadly useful, as a tool to get the general lay of the space. If they were more strict, they'd lose tools that may be useful for visitors with slightly different preferences than the curators.
Here is a chart which includes nuclear and other zero emission technologies. A 7% difference is nice but it's a drop in the bucket when you're increasing the renewable share by 5% annually. Even if you consider that Germany shut down 75GW out of 150GW then a 15% difference is still just not very important but it makes Germany look very bad in the short term. Give it 10 years and the zero emission share will be somewhere around 90%, meanwhile any nuclear plant planned today will only be finished in 2029 only to become obsolete the same year.

The US was left eseentially undamaged by WW2, its industrial base was vastly enhanced. While Europe and USSR had to rebuild, the US was able to build from that enhanced base.

The Marshall plan provided a mechanism for the US to fund European rebuilding, which caused Europe to purchase industrial goods and machinery from the US, using those very same funds. The end result was a win-win through to the early 1970s.

At the same time, the USSR was rebuilding from an even more destroyed economy than Europe and could only leverage its domination of Eastern Europe. China was occupied with its own political upheavals and Japan was in the same state as Europe.

The post war "military industrial complex" warned about by Eisenhower, is a real thing. The US has a large military because the large military is a way to recycle taxation to defence employment. The US doesn't need a military that costs $750b per annum and is larger than the next 10 nations combined. However, US employment requires that military to keep the balls in the air. It provides industrial employment to people in places where it isn't financially prudent and the military itself provides employment for those that can't get employment in the general economy.

In essence, the US military is a giant social security network for the US. It consumes vast resources to do so and could be done at much lower cost, but the likelihood of that occurring is zero due to the vested interests.
But these lists also already fulfill the need. When there's a category of something people are interested in someone will eventually make an "awesome list of ...". The good lists become popular and become included in various "awesome list of lists" improving their discoverability, while the bad lists fade into obscurity. And since there is no central authority and plenty of alternatives each list can be opinionated instead of including everything under the sun.

These lists follow the same "survival of the fittest" that underlies capitalism and evolution, and while coordinated efforts have many advantages they also have all the disadvantages of monoliths. I think a Yahoo-like site would have a hard time producing a better result.

That makes it sound like the prosecutor said that the contracts didn't occur. The way it's worded in the source Guardian article is "The prosecutor says he does not believe any of the killings have occurred."

In other words the prosecutor is contending that Ulbricht took out 6 unsuccessful contracts.

His sentence seems fair according to the standards of the US justice system, at least from my non-lawyer’s perspective. He profited enormously from drug trafficking, and received a sentence in line with other convicted cartel leaders. Is this site advocating for freeing all such similar cartel leaders? If not, why not?

And yes, he was not convicted of the solicitation for murder, but in the US justice system considering this secondary behavior is perfectly legal. I don’t even think it’s all that uncommon or unethical. It’s just the more converse of giving someone a lighter sentence for an otherwise unblemished life.
Do you really think people doing gig economy jobs have alternatives? It's not a "lifestyle choice", it's literally looking around and saying what can I do that will pay my bills, today. And if these are the only options available this is what you "choose".

16bit Windows software will not work natively on 64bit Windows. However this isn't a recent change, this is happening since the introduction of 64bit Windows and consumers started getting 64bit Windows already for more than a decade ago.

There are solutions, however.

For 16bit Windows software you can try https://github.com/otya128/winevdm which provides 16bit emulation and pass-through of Windows API calls to a mix of Wine and Win32 native calls. It isn't perfect but it can run a lot of Windows 3.x software. You can either drag-drop the executable on the emulator's exe file or use the supplied registry files to install it system-wide.

DOS software tends to work fine under DOSBox or vDos (a DOSBox fork explicitly made for text-based DOS applications).

Now i'm not saying you cannot find cases where stuff do not work, but in my experience most stuff work out of the box or with little tweaks.
Regime change often isn't necessary for the US to accomplish its goals. In this thread premise, Syria would be regarded as a success, because there's nothing left of the country. They no longer pose a threat to Israel and they're a small fraction of the military power they used to be (a net drag on Russia rather than a benefit). It'll take them decades to rebuild.

The average income in Cuba is $20 per month. Without regime change they were heavily neutralized as an influence in Latin America. Cuba's military could hardly be less of a concern. Once Raul Castro is gone, that's the formal end.

Venezuela is a failed state. The Bolivarian Revolution is over there. There won't be another Chavez any time soon. And if there is, there are no resources to be used to fund such a regime's agenda. The US didn't have to do anything in that case, Venezuela destroyed itself through typical Statist mismanagement. Ironically Chavez will have ended up helping to benefit the US considerably, by destroying what should have been one of the world's largest oil producers. It removed vast potential supply from the global oil market for decades, helping to an extent to make way for the US boom, keeping prices high enough to spur on the Permian shale build-out. If Venezuela were producing like it should be, that'd be ~4m more barrels per day the US producers would have to contend with on the global market, dragging on prices. Instead the US has a solid runway from here to 16m barrels per day of production in the coming decade.

The US is now a big oil competitor with Iran. So keeping them boxed in - no regime change needed - is a large win economically. The US can pretend it's for all sorts of reasons, while actually serving the purpose of furthering US oil production and exports. The US is 'convincing' South Korea to abandon Iranian oil right now, in favor of US oil. All the US has to do is keep Iran boxed in for two decades until oil demand begins to contract, then it's over (two decades merely being the time from here to 9/11). Iran's theocratic system will collapse in on itself as oil demand fades, they don't have enough of an alternative economy.

Well, why didn't they get rid of the SJWs during the Damore kerfuffle instead of firing Damore? Some scenarios:

- Google leadership is, themselves, SJWs. They're just SJWs who are bad at things but once something problematic is brought to their attention they take actions of their own volition.

- Google leadership is a bunch of pushovers who listen to the most vocal faction even if it's a tiny minority and chase PR over getting things done. This means Google absolutely should not have AIs taking actions in an ethical framework decided upon by Google leadership, and certainly shouldn't have an outside council to legitimize their actions, because it isn't always the SJWs who will be loudest. (And in particular, there was a legitimate risk of the Heritage Foundation injecting its worldview into Google through James, because there's also a loud strain in American conservatism.) Google should be broken up and someone else should try.

- Actually, the SJWs are disproportionately responsible for Google's engineering success, despite being a minority, and if you're tired of them speaking for you, you need to prove that Google can survive without them. (Or they're not a minority, and there's a silent majority of people who stay quiet but are actually aligned with the SJWs, or something else equivalent.)

GET is only idempotent in terms of the effect of the client calling the server.

The server is free to change the state of a resource at any time without informing the client.

What a compliant server cannot do is change the state of a resource as a result of receiving the GET request from the client.

The text of the tweet:

@UN_CSW
because powerful nations are pressing for the radical redefining of sex. If they can change the definition of women to include men, they can erase efforts to empower women economically, socially, and politically. #CSW63

That tweet does not say anything like "trans people don't exist", or that they should be harmed in any way, or that they aren't human. That tweet expresses a perfectly reasonable sentiment that many others share: that human beings are sexually dimorphic and cannot change sex. This sort of hyperbole on the part of transactivists is very frustrating: anyone who doesn't agree with extremist gender ideology is painted as a "bigot".

This is more important than one AI ethics panel with questionable authority. Google is in a position to censor and influence a huge amount of speech on the internet, and the fact that they were targeted by and arguably caved to a small extremist group is very troubling.

Issue is, what would the charge be for a typical application for some basic business function, say scheduling attendance.

So QPS really low, <5. But very spread out, as it's used during the workday by both team leader and team members. Every query results in a database query or maybe even 2 or 3. So every, say 20 minutes or so there's 4-5 database queries. Backend database is a few gigs, growing slowly. Let's say a schedule is ~10kb of data, and that has to be transferred on almost all queries, because that's what people are working on. That makes ~800 gig transfer per year.

This would be equivalent to something you could easily store on say a linode or digital ocean 2 machine system, for $20 month or $240/year + having backup on your local machine. This would have the advantage that you can have 10 such apps on that same hardware with no extra cost.

And if you really want to cheap out, you could easily host this with a PHP hoster for $10/year.

So how do you calculate the AWS costs here ?
Despite any judgements, they are a victim in the sense that a perpetrator launched an attack on them.

The reason we don’t teach humans is that they are unlikely to have the capacity to make and execute such decisions in a split seconds. Computers do.
To the degree there's something to the PCs became a thing mostly with teenage boys, which discouraged others from getting involved with computers at a later age... And I think there probably is. You need look no further than skeptical comments here about hiring someone who didn't have a "passion" for computers from a young age. Or college curricula with entry-level courses that clearly assume prior familiarity with computers. But it's probably more of a connection between PCs and gaming.

Which means that dynamic should be changing again as PCs are far less relevant as a gamer platform. Though arguably the environment is established and is hard to change as a result.

I think it was "practical ethics," basically a collection of essays.
> See, that exact example is why I look askew at a lot of the field of 'AI ethics'

The main focus of "AI ethics" needs to be on model bias and how to counter it through transparency and governance. More and more decisions, from mortgage applications to job applications are being automated based on the output of some machine learning model. The person being "scored" has no insight into how they were scored, often has no recourse to appeal the decision, and in many cases isn't even aware that they were scored by a model in the first place. THIS is what AI Ethics needs to focus on, not navel gazing about who self-driving cars should choose to kill or how to implement kill switches for runaway robots.
Congratulations for the initiative. Given the target audience,I think that you should focus on compliance with Web Accessibility Guidelines https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Content_Accessibility_Gu...

It's a substitute for _learning how to beatmatch_ which is incredibly time consuming and a big barrier to getting started.
I think you're demonstrating a point of view that's tragically common here on HN - you're assuming that people are never desperate, and that they always have an alternative to choose instead. Many people are in the position where they only have one option and have to pick that to earn a living. That's not strictly being forced to work a job that sucks, but the reality is they don't have a choice if the alternative is starving or losing their home.

So sure, nobody is forcing anyone to drive for Uber, but there are people who have to drive for Uber because they don't have any other opportunities in the short term.
Slightly off-topic: what app is used to create low-fi sketches like the illustration in this article? I'd love to use these in my product work.

Best Gen X joke is from the Simpsons:

“Are you being sarcastic, dude?”

“I don’t even know anymore.”
I'd actually push this thought one step further: most tech degrees require between zero and one course of ethics over a full college program. The people we trust to make the technical decisions are under-trained in making those decisions with an eye towards ethical questions, and we're in a time where ethics should be ahead of the technology.

Many successful teams in history included members who were not technically skilled, but had an implementable vision. The gap in knowledge bridgeable, and the alternative is more "Facebook is involuntarily committing users to an experiment in what makes people sad" ethical errors.

The seven habits of highly effective people.

The Peter Principle

Books or articles on "planning backwards." Gantt charts get used a lot in, for example, construction. You need certain things to precede certain other things. You set a goal and end date and then start asking "What has to happen just before that? And just before that?" It is the reverse of asking "So, then what?"
Well that shifts the value away from the bill being a promissory note and back to being the actually valuable item. Kind of like a commodities backed currency, which most nation's try to avoid.
To be clear -- I learned how to beatmatch and played gigs on vinyl for crowds of thousands of people. I know how to do it. Even in terrible conditions (like "no monitor or headphones" bad). Ableton is simply a lot better at it.

> A proper beatmatch can and should ride the whole track

Where would you draw the line?

For example, would you put the president of company that sells a purported homeopathic measles cure (yes, that exists) on a medical ethics board in the name of finding common ground?

I wouldn't, because they either (1) know that they are selling a product that is nothing more than a placebo, which they lie about to ignorant people, and which will likely lead to serious harm for many of those people (often children), but value their income more than that, or (2) they actually believe that it works. The former is disqualifying because it calls into question their own ethics, and the later because it calls into question their ability to understand objective evidence and draw sound inferences from it.

The Heritage Foundation publishes things like this [1]:

> The current average world temperature is about 58 degrees. The true believers in climate change are predicting global catastrophe if that temperature rises by a worst-case estimate of 7 degrees Fahrenheit. That would bring the world average temperature to about 65 degrees.

> Dubai, today, is doing quite well at an average temperature 35 degrees higher.

The gist of the article is that people can handle heat in Dubai through the use of air conditioning in their cars and buildings, which shows that maybe if we just go all in for cheap fossil fuel based energy we'll be able to handle the paltry little worst case 7 degrees that we might get if climate change turns out to be real.

I find it extremely hard to believe that they don't know that this and most of their other material on climate change is scientifically wrong, and so I'd rule out putting their president on an ethics board because they are not an ethical organization.

You want some conservative viewpoints to find common ground on your board? There are conservatives who have not embraced scientific quackery. E.g., [2]. Pick from them.
