Throughput increased (from 0), since people started using it. But the maximum throughput cannot increase without protocol changes. There are workarounds like lightning network, but that's off the main blockchain. There's a hard limit on how many transactions you can put in one block. More mining power doesn't change that maximum.
Thanks, it’s not a huge issue! I’m able to see the issue with safari on my iPhone, FYI.

Read my comment again, it's got nothing to do with 400 years of trade history, it's about temporary measures having a habit of becoming permanent.

Where did you get the idea I was so fond of free trade? (disclosure: I am in favour of free trade) I described international markets as rapacious. Plus free trade is about trade. Freedom of movement is about people. You can be in favour of free trade, and against freedom of movement, ask any Brexiteer.

BTW not all Indians are on $2 a day, and most that would come to the UK would be on significantly more, and we have a minimum wage so they wouldn't be competing on $2 a day anyway.

. would not speed

. would not run red lights

. has better eyesight than humans

. is not distracted by mobile phones, passengers or pretty girls/guys walking on the foot path

. is not susceptible to road rage

It's creepy on Facebook, but with any cloud photo storage, like Amazon's or Microsoft's, being able to search for "ocean" or "plants" in your own photos is really fucking cool.
Your assumption that AI should be compared to average human driver is simply wrong. There are all sorts of human drivers, some of them drive under influence, some have slow reaction, some have terrible cars. Why should AI be compared to any of those?

When we use automatic vehicle, we assume it to be a reliable driver, not a random person who could be a bad driver.

So please stop comparing to average human drivers.
Just to extend off the other replies, the license might also be a factor. GPLv3 has an anti-TiVo, "you must let your users apply their changes to hardware" clause. FDA might consider that too risky.
And for the sake of it, make a website collecting all the lives saved thanks to it (I'm thinking of the Netherlands schoolboy who'd had been crushed by the truck without it)
There is a difference in just using the energy to soften peaks or having a constant energy drain. Bitcoin mining is the latter. If you have a constant energy surplus you could easily find other use cases like producing hydrogen.
Setting aside arguments that could be considered more partisan...I think its partially mainstreaming. I'm sure an early Church father or Renaissance secularist were a bit more sophisticated in promulgating and defending their creed than your average Joe Schmoe door to door evangelist or random early 2000s poster to r/atheism. What was the domain of (still crazy imo) but select group of activists/academics is now to the point where people with actual diagnosed mental disorders are latching on to it in large numbers. (my personal favorite way of measuring whether something is mainstream) https://youtu.be/Gzdf4V7Cf_M

Also theres the new dynamic which has emerged within the past decade or 2 but has ramped up considerably where Progressives are the new establishment. They of course have dominated certain areas for a long time but its at the point now where every major sector of society (with a current trivial exception of a tenuous hold on a few offices in the federal government) is controlled by people who are fanatics for or at least bow to what would have been considered ridiculous political correctness/social justice only a few short years earlier. Parody walks hand in hand with fighting against something larger. So does self actualization. Hence the desperate attempts for people to convince themselves that Google/MS/Facebook/Amazon/CNN/HuffPo/NYT et al is 'The Resistance'.
That's perfectly fair if the cars will be exclusively tested on the families of the engineers & managers working on those cars.

This is interesting. Doesn't this make comingling a high business risk activity for Amazon? If the item shipped was from a different third party seller than the one billed, Amazon would get sued instead of the third party seller if it turned out to be defective or fake. Amazon makes a rich enough target that I imagine lawyers would accept cases on contingency whereas they might not against random small third party sellers?
> ok, controversial counterpoint: maybe some number of deaths is worth it.

Not if you wish to win the hearts and minds of the general population at large. As grandparent points out, the coverage seems disproportionate, but that's because it interest people, and they are generally sceptical of letting computers drive their cars.

While technically unrelated, the Boeing 737 MAX MCAS scandal hasn't done much good either for the further automation of transport systems.

People dying at the 'hands' of AVs will lead to pushback from the general population, and political points can be scored by siding with this view, leading to tigther regulation if not an outright ban some places on AVs.

The real question is; will either the slow and thorough approach or the quick and dirty approach roll out larger AV fleets faster than the other? In any case, it'll probably be decades, before there are significant AV fleets.

> For context, concealment is bad here because co-mingling means Amazon doesn't even know which vendor shipped the defective product

That is not true.

From Amazon documentation on commingling:

> Note: Amazon ensures that the initial source of the commingled units can be traced throughout the fulfilment process.

> How does Amazon track my commingled inventory?

> Even though your inventory does not have additional labels, Amazon will assign a virtual trackable label to your units once they have been received. Virtual trackable labels allow Amazon to keep a track of your inventory at all the times.

> Important: Amazon ensures that the exact same units from two sellers, participating in the commingling programme, are always physically segregated. This means that Amazon storage logic does not allow same ASINs of different sellers to be stored in the same bin in our warehouse if they are commingled.

There are decentralized/open/ethic friendly services alternative to big corporations services. In the case of Youtube there's PeerTube[1] for exemple (even if in that case there's a IP leak due to the p2p protocol if I remember correctly).

The sad thing here is that people decide to stay on the "big" services due to the network effect, and few people decide to boycott them just to follow principles.

It's pretty hard to do. It appears that you need problems where (1) you can generate a practically unlimited number of arbitrary instances, (2) of arbitrary difficulty, (3) deterministically based on a random seed, (4) that are roughly constant difficulty to validate, and (5) where a randomly-chosen instance is likely to be useful to know a solution to.
How on earth could anti-trust ever be non-political? And why would that be desirable? Surely the very action of putting the idea of splitting up a company out there is a political one.
Neat! I wonder how they arrive at these numbers though?

I had a conversation with a non-techie friend the other day about cryptocurrencies and she expressed scepticism about the technology because of its immateriality or intangibility. Something about cryptocurrencies being artificially constructs doesn't sit well with some non-techies. I mean, when you think about it it's just as arbitrary that precious metals and gems have a store of value/worth above and beyond their utility. I guess we're in a transitionary period.

Lots of comments about how this isn’t new, or how it’s related to accessibility. The article mentions all this. That’s not what the story is. It’s not a very deep story, but I don’t think it’s quite so trivial as is being suggested.

The story is about this info being exposed to users just browsing the site, and the reaction that elicits. Someone seeing the tags inline in their feed by a glitch will tend to have a very different response than someone who is asked to view source and look for it.

I believe this is relevant because a regular conversation around here centers around the idea that many folks in tech circles find it creepy or unhealthy for society to have so much info being collected and processed for profit by giant corporations, and how most people outside of tech circles seem not to care at all.
Can't believe the amount of jabronis here saying "what is the big fuss, everyone tracks everything anyways".

Companies (and individuals) should act ethical and in good faith, regardless of what others do. So, if you have a chance to improve something, you should do it. Make a superior product that also doesn't track users without explicit content. Superhuman definitely acted the right way with this decision.

The Bitcoin "bubble" has "burst" at least 6 times now. Which one were you refering to? Every time it recovers and reaches another all time high in a couple of years. Being the nascent but potentially world changing technology, it might take a few years to realize its true market cap. And along the way, we will see a few pumps and dumps. Its just normal.
> But at that point the cost of the electricity consumption of Bitcoin will be borne entirely by Bitcoin's users

I'm not sure what you mean by this. If a certain percentage of energy is used by PoW, less is available for other purposes, and thus prices will rise for all energy users.
No, the HOA problem in the US is a legacy of racism. Originally the contracts specified which races you were allowed to sell or let to. That was banned in the civil rights reform, so people went to all sorts of ridiculous proxies for the "wrong sort of person". HOAs are bullies because a noisy minority of people want to be able to get rid of neighbors.
Or maybe certain areas have created rules in response to past experience, such as root vegetables attracting digging pests like raccoons and opossums.

Depends on your use case - I recommend Calibre to some clients, SpeedCurve to others and self hosted WebPageTest or Sitespeed.io to others.

One of the key deciding factors is do you want to run the service yourself e.g. VMs, containers, in multiple regions or do you want to make that someone else's problem and get on with running your business - most of my clients are in the later camp

Both Calibre and SpeedCurve have clean UI's that allow performance to be tracked over time, from multiple locations and integration with other services via web hooks, APIs etc.

GTMetrix is old and outdated IMV, - it still heavily relies on YSlow rules which are well past their sell-by-date

WebPageTest is my favourite (SpeedCurve uses it under the hood) but it's got no ability to track over time, SiteSpee.io is really nice too but is self-hosted.

With the exception of some real devices in Dulles, all of the products rely on emulation for mobile, and Safari is a real gap for them all too

As a 63yr.old, I have nothing but admiration and adoration for the staff, the magazine and the quick quips that remain with me. Nary a day goes by that my internal dialogue doesn't reference some part of MAD's escapes from the staid. As a child ( one of 5 siblings), Saturdays were spent going to and from dreary piano & theory lessons in St.Louis (pre-interstate and daylight savings time equaled a 2&1/2 hour ride, one way). Each of us usually had several hours in the city to "kill", wandering around the Woolworths and surrounding locale of Clayton, MO. MAD made the 2&1/2 hours home sandwiched inside the station wagon seem like my escape: the humour and wit between the pages, the cartoons & charactitures(sic?) hidden between the 'departments', and the political (sub)commentary relentlessly and endlessly amused me. I, too, read the issues from cover to cover, over and over..."Believe it or nuts", my heart mourns in its memory and mourns MAD's memorialized messages.

To paraphrase an old joke : "Nobody goes there anymore. It's too empty". What you describe there is the classic problem of Network effects. The limitation is not on the tech side of things. People don't use the decentralized services because either favourite content isn't there. Producers don't post to the decentralized service because the consumers aren't there. Unfortunate reality :-(

Usually, the different tax rates are a percentage but the cost of taking advantage of the lower rate is fixed.

If you are a big company, then it may be worth paying a huge amount to save even more in taxes.

If you are a small company, the amount you would save could be lower than the fixed cost.

There is also a large time investment which you probably cannot make if you are solo.

The specifics will depend on what you mean exactly by off shore (what country? what legal structure?). But if you are swimming in money and have high taxes, you could hire a tax consultant to explore this option more carefully.

> In theory you are correct. In practice, if 97% of society exclusvely uses said aggregator/community to find videos - 97% of your potential audience will never know the video exists - is that not still censorship?

I mean... no?

I think it's useful to have a separate concept for actual censorship (government-mandated), and just "someone built a really great way to connect to a bunch of users, that didn't exist 20 years ago, but now isn't letting you use it". I'm not saying it's not problematic (or that it is), just that it's different in a meaningful way and therefore bad to conflate.

As for how much of a monopoly YouTube really is - it's clearly a huge aggregator that's gotten almost all "user watching video" engagement. Except other niches have been discussed here (e.g. porn), and they seem to be doing fine. So I don't think it's inevitable that YouTube is the only service that can exist.
