This isn't about group think. It is when individuals will allow diagnosis. If you give a woman two options, diagnosis by machine with a record of 80% or a human with a record of 70%, it is a really easy decision to make. The desire to not suffer cancer is strong enough to override almost all emotional arguments. And if you can afford it, you will likely choose both or get a second opinion.

Markets are a way of getting things done without planning. Or rather, it depends on how widely you like to use the term "market." Languages aren't planned, but they still constantly evolve and develop to suit our needs... You can call that a market (some do) but I think that's a bad choice of words. A literal market is a very abstract metaphor for the process that creates language and calling it a "market" creates a tendency to think that quid-quo-pro relations between buyers and sellers are the canonical building blocks of emergent systems. That's dangerously limiting.

Suburbs though, and built environments generally are an example of how "markets" are the extremely different from eachother depending on what they're made of.

Suburbs are generally an example (imo) of markets grafting on economic branches (the houses, mostly) onto a (mostly) centrally planned trunk, roads, infrastructures, schools, parks, etc. Suburbs take a lot of infrastructure, and at least historically it's had been a push mechanism. Planners plan/build the services required to create demand for housing rather than pre-existing residents creating demand for services.

Big city real estate markets are very often characterized by (a) land scarcity making them attractive long term investment markets and (b) a basically stationary supply side. Supply reacts so slowly/weakly to price changes that the only thing way to equilibrium is prices... usually upward. The price of housing becomes the maximum people can pay, often the maximum a bank is willing to loan.

This is completely different to the market for services, the market for manufactured goods and such.

We do a lot of planning, whether deliberately or not. Even under the most ardent anti-matket systems (eg Maoist China in the 50s-60s) we do a lot of "market." It's basically unavoidable.

However, we are absolutely terrible at intentionally planning for emergence. Creating the planned infrastructure onto which unplanned emergence can occur. We don't even have the right terms to discuss it.

Whether we like that ideologically/politically or not, or whether we're good at it... it's a big part of how society and economy evolve.

The fairly arbitrary and made up^ corporate laws, IP laws and such are a very good example. Change them and we totally change the shape of the economy. They weren't planned though, they're designed by historical arbitrariness.

Philosophically, imo, a whole lot boils down to our inability to grapple with "not sure." Hard science can. We don't know if string theory is true. This is one of the great cultural achievements of science because it isn't part of human nature.

^In the sense that if we re-ran history, we'd expect totally different outcomes.

Huh? It does have this requirement:

Each supervisory authority shall ensure that the imposition of administrative fines pursuant to this Article in respect of infringements of this Regulation referred to in paragraphs 4, 5 and 6 shall in each individual case be effective, proportionate and dissuasive

When deciding whether to impose an administrative fine and deciding on the amount of the administrative fine in each individual case due regard shall be given to the following:

A) the nature, gravity and duration of the infringement taking into account the nature scope or purpose of the processing concerned as well as the number of data subjects affected and the level of damage suffered by them;

b) the intentional or negligent character of the infringement;

e) any relevant previous infringements by the controller or processor;

i) where measures referred to in Article 58(2) have previously been ordered against the controller or processor concerned with regard to the same subject-matter, compliance with those measures;

Nice article, a few comments I would like to add

>If philosophers can’t answer what makes the life meaningful

Philosophers fail here because it is beyond thinking and experience based, so one can not file a paper saying I found it - even if it is correct, it will not have any impact on others.

>how can governments maximize it?

Governments need not maximize it, they just need to create fair conditions for everyone, people inevitably will get there themselves, exactly as it's stated later:

>A revolutionary idea is that governments should leave people alone so they could pursue their well-being

>because the human mind is incapable of grasping non-linear, complex interactions

The word "mind" is not specific enough, what mentioned here is intellect. There are other dimensions to mind which are capable of much more than we can imagine.
PS5 GPU to Be 4x More Powerful Than PS4, Almost on Par with Nvidia RTX 2070
Sorry I have troubles understanding.

I gather the main money maker is "net interest" - but wouldn't that only apply if the Discount Broker sold me an investment (promising me x% in returns, while they make x+y% by reinvesting my money)? I thought that is exactly what Discount Brokers are not doing, I thought they only help me buy other people's investment vehicles?

Or is it just the cash I have sitting at the Discount Broker, to be ready to trade, that produces the gains for the Broker (average 10% according to the article)?

Or do the DBs usually offer "savings accounts" with interest x on your money, and all the other stuff (cheap stock trades and so on) are supposedly only the advertising, luring in customers so that you can send them offers?

"high-interest bank accounts" - where can I get such a one, or do they only exist for very rich entities, or only in the US?

There aren't many "network effects" (the business term) in IoT, despite vendors' best efforts. The value of the network to the user does not increase with the number of nodes in the network.

That said, I agree there's a sort-of similar pattern here, which I feel underlies many of the biggest problems of our era - including climate change. The pattern is that there's a lot of entities - individual, small and large companies - engaging in transactions, and each transaction has a small negative - some personal data stolen here, some toaster joining the botnet there, some trivial amount of carbon emitted elsewhere. The negatives however add up, and ultimately manifest as huge and international problems.

We definitely need to develop legislative methods that would combat this pattern at the structural level, regardless of the business domain it shows itself in.
Price control doesn't work on healthcare. I give you an example: Spain, "free" healthcare: they realized people went to socialize to hospitals, making impossible to address the demand. People went to hospitals for headaches, colds, creating an incredible ammount of problems. How they solved it? They charged money (little) for any consult you wanted to do. This reduced instantly a big ammount of the consults and false positives. This was tested in Barcelona and in other provinces. This was also a case for Singapur, where everyone have access to healthcare (starting from 16$/mo) and healthcare is subsidised by demand.

One of my neighbours when I was growing up in Australia had apparently chronic Lyme disease, however every doctor she went to told her that there was indisputably "no Lyme disease in Australia" [0]. This went on for years. Eventually she had to go on a trip to IIRC the UK to get prescribed the relevant medication, which she smuggled back to Australia.

It's a real physical item. Pepsi has lots of money. It is thus reasonable to expect that Pepsi would provide one.

It might be different if Pepsi had offered a flying unicorn, a human slave, psychic powers, a teleporter, a time machine, a genie with 3 wishes, a seat in congress, or a fully operational death star.

The best argument you could make for Pepsi's failure would be that the jet was more restricted at the time. If acquisition hit legal difficulties, the judge should have forced Pepsi to make a substitution of greater cost. It should hurt. For example the Boeing 747 is a real jet that could be purchased freely at the time.

Wind shear is an extreme form of turbulence, here are some sample accidents: http://www.aviation-accidents.net/tag/windshear/
To reply with a personal anecdote.

When I went to study computer science, Google did not exit yet. Facebook did not exist. Apple was an obscure company. World Wide Web was a hobby. My parents were genuinely worried I wouldn't be able to get a job. Fast forward. Had I been more realistic and chosen a degree that better matched the job market of the time I would probably be unemployed by now.

Draw your own conclusions from this.

I think the issue is they need parents with more disposable income, but it's roughly a 50% drop in household income as you go from asian/white families to hispanic/black families. There's a time series here:

https://www.census.gov/data/tables/time-series/demo/income-p...

Take a look at Table HINC-04, which identifies income for families with children under 18:

showing median/mean income:

* white alone, not hispanic: 93K/120K
* asian: 101K/136K
* hispanic: 53K/72K
* black: 47K/66K

So stores like Toys-R-us can get hammered as a result of demographic shifts even if total population of kids is increasing.

The thing people need to know about Boris is that 99% of what you see in public is a carefuly crafted image of a harmless, and somewhat likeable buffoon.

If you listen to the recording of where he was talking with an acquaitance about supplying him with the address of a reporter for said acquaintance to "rough up" an entirely different man emerges, one who doesn't stammer and ham things up.

Boris is a very calculating man, and has fooled so many, for so long. This story paints this point very vividly.

This is not true. The moment you set a red line, you're making impossible for the lesser trained to join the wagon for getting a chance to climb the ladder. Also, you're making the capitalist not paying for not hiring lesser people, since none has to hire, there are not faults. The idea is that investors should fight to get you in, but if they're denied, they get the monopoly since no one can enter the market to compete with them by hiring people who is willing to work for less than the regulated wage price is meant is. Plus, wages will not go up easily, since you're killing the force supply by setting a line on it. Milton Friedman explained this properly, you can see his speech on Youtube.

What is linear, one-dimensional thinking? Doesn't say, and it's not a common term, either.

What is the difference between top-down and bottom-up? Or rather, what is top and bottom?

I wonder if this is AI generated. Lots of interesting buzzwords, glued together in sentences that don't create a whole. Like that picture that looks familiar but you can't recognise any object in it.

Nature and markets are almost the same thing when you look closely. Evolution is a kind of algorithm that operates in many ways. You need just imperfect memory and selection to generate all sorts of patterns, in biological life, as in the economy.

Is selling more liquidity at a tighter spread that much more advantageous than participating in some amount x fewer trades with a looser spread?

In other words, I don't understand if or why it is the case that HFTs would like to, in general, offer tighter spreads than looser ones.

Edit: is it just that volume decreases super linearly in relation to the price of liquidity?
I'm in exactly the same boat. To be honest, I've started to get twitchy whenever anyone uses one when he's NOT around, I'm that used to watching out for them.

I wonder if some sort of structure can be used where you split the invoice in two separate invoices. One for the work and a smaller one for the open source donation that can be deducted from taxes as an actual donation. It might not be legal because of tax evasion.
It sounds like a smart hospital would run a patient through both human and AI screenings separately, and a different doctor to examine both results and evaluate the discrepancies. This way you would keep the strengths of both approaches, lowering the failure rates, and depending on the countries health care funding can be good business from the hospital's POV as they get to charge for the extra work as well as the better success rates to drive business.

And I wonder what happens if you apply machine learning to looking at the difference between AI and human screening results.
I feel the same. I dry my hands on my trousers and wear headphones in the toilets to avoid the blast of white (?) noise from other users of the high-speed dryers at work.

It wouldn't surprise me if the UK regulations on these devices also only measure the noise levels without hands in the airflow... there's no way these are legal when they are actually in use.
> >If philosophers can’t answer what makes the life meaningful

I think the question is answered, in that it's shown that the question is misguided. It's the problem-solving aspect of our minds that earns to find meaning, even in things that don't inherently have it, which is most things. What is the meaning of this geopolitical event? What is the meaning of the big bang? If that little problem-solver inside us can't distinguish the validity of these questions, then you experience compulsive meaning seeking. So I agree with you, it's beyond "thinking".
Do you think the individuals that choose to go to the media and speak negatively of him are an unbiased sample of all of the individuals he has meaningfully engaged with through the years? This is the problem with basing your perception of reality on the media. Dog bites man is not news, man bites dog is news. If all you have to rely for your characterization of "other" people is the media then you'd suddenly think there was a massive epidemic of men running around biting dogs! Won't anybody think of the puppies!? We need to urgently pass anti-dog biting laws!

As one example of this that we can quantify, a major issue in the US is "responsible gun control" to combat an epidemic of homicide and violence driven largely by high powered "assault rifles." In quotes there since an assault rifle entails selective fire, generally between full and semi automatic - those weapons are already illegal. Anyhow, let's test this against the data. In the US in 2016 there were 11,004 firearm homicides. [1] How many of these were caused by rifles? The answer is 374, about 3%. Nearly all of our gun crime is driven by cheap little pistols. But "assault rifles" make much better media and sound scary, so it results in a grossly misinformed public who think there's some massive epidemic of "assault rifle" driven homicide.

That's true, but I guess you'll get a feel of what that person values after working with them for a while, whether it's money, freedom to choose their projects, the ability to work on tricky sub-problems, etc.

In my experience, it's always been down to what that person values. At my last company my "boss" was a contractor, and although he was given the ability to build a team however he saw fit, he didn't want to sacrifice his freedom. Before that, my CTO took the role because she believed in the team and the projects we had - and we did some fantastic work. The roles were almost identical, but the people were different.

My hiring experience is limited to developers, so I've never been a part of the actual hiring process, but I've bonded with a handful of people that were offered the role, and it's always been down to belief in the long-term vision and whether they'd value that role over what they value from their current role as a contractor.

I do wish the author had gone with 'complex' and 'simple' instead of 'fractal' and 'linear'. I don't see anything particularly 'linear' about a chair, for example.

Regarding the 'top-down' vs 'bottom-up' dichotomy - I don't really see why one is better than the other. I agree that humans tend to begin with a concrete idea and iterate on their designs from there (a 'top-down' approach). The article seems to be driving at the notion that nature's emergent, bottom-up approach is somehow better. But beyond the observation that the amazon rainforest is more diverse than a monocultural man-made forest, I don't think they really substantiate why that is so.
> But I hope GDPR boosters who went around minimizing the threat to good-faith actors admit that they were wrong.

What? No. Your first example talks about "open source datasets" -- no such thing exists for my personal data. If you've gathered my data you need to tell me why you gathered it. Dumping it into a dataset for other people to use is clearly not ok.

Your misdescribe your second example. Notice the company weren't fined just because they had the phone number. They were fined because they had the phone number, they were asked to delete it, and they declined to delete it. The company were not claiming they couldn't erase the phone number because it would be too hard. They were trying to say that they wouldn't erase it because they needed it for debt collection. The regulator disagreed.

Neither of these are good faith actors and these are exactly the kinds of data misuse I wanted GDPR to handle.

Ask HN: How do banking fintechs like Revolut justify their bn-$$$ valuations?
Hey,

we are evaluating banking fintech ideas (=startups, which deal with banking services, examples: Revolut, N26, Brex, Scalable Capital) and every time we calculate market sizes or potential profits, we come up with very low numbers, which never lead to the unicorn valuations that those other Fintechs claim.

What are we missing? On which story do they receive their massive fundings and valuations? Should we do a banking fintech?

Example:
Current Revolut revenues per year: ~30m EUR; if they 10 fold their revenues, and start to generate a 20% profit margin (instead of loosing money on every customers as they currently do), then we have 300m EUR revenues x 20% profits = 60m EUR profits / year = 900m EUR valuation, considering a multiple of 15.
What would a bottom-up developed computer be like? Can you elaborate on top-down/bottom-up in this context?
Manufacturers already have to replace devices when they're bricked by a hardware problem. They have various quality control processes in place to try to prevent this from happening. I don't see why it should be any different for security - or make a huge difference to the cost.
