Whoa, you are telling me can have a measurable, whole integer impact? That sounds like a huge win!

A lot of the ways we solve this problem are going to be <1% at a time. 0.05% here, 0.75% there.

We could say, "this doesn't solve a big percentage of the problem so why bother" or we can meaningfully tackle something as large as 0.5%.
Name the only thing that's increased in price many fold that everyone requires. Not everyone has a degree, so it's not that, plus skyrocketing education costs are limited to the USA. It's not health either as this has happened in countries with proper healthcare. It's the other thing.

That's where the answer lies.
You don't actually recover the key, which is cryptographically impossible. You just get ownership of the account.

Perhaps you can do it with Bitcoin's scriptSig, but it's easier to do it with a cryptocurrency like Ethereum. Or if you're designing a new system you might consider making it a part of the system.
The distinction (from how I'm reading the GP's comment) is that Group 4 presupposes that data collection is necessary, and seeks to minimize unethical means of collecting that data, while Group 5 presupposes that ethics are paramount, and seeks to establish whether or not data collection can actually be ethical at all.

That is: Group 4 would be more willing to compromise ethics if absolutely necessary to get the data said group needs, while Group 5 would be more willing to compromise data collection if there's no ethical way to collect that data.
There's a similar project in Dortmund, Germany, but you can lock your bike inside it:

Indeed. Most “AI difficulty” settings in games involve either crippling the player or giving the computer player extra bonuses/abilities. They are “how much should the computer cheat” sliders. (I’m looking at you, Civilization) It would be great if the norm in game AI was to allow the computer player equal game resources/rules to the human player.
Assuming categories 1 and 3 are sufficiently large (and I assume that is the case), this is easily resolved by allowing users to choose whether to donate their data for training or not.

If the training already only happens on a 1/500 sample, skewing the sample towards "people who don't care about their privacy" will probably not significantly impact the quality of the data.

I'm surprised this wasn't already the case, but hopefully the article will help the people responsible make better decisions in the trade-off between minimizing onboarding friction and respecting user's privacy in the future.
France ends healthcare refunds for homeopathy
Foreign aircraft purchases are highly politicized and this decision probably has nothing to do with product quality, safety, or price. More likely it's a signal from the Saudi royal family to the US Congress that they ought to stop being so critical over minor issues like the murder of a US resident or bombing civilian targets in Yemen.

I don't find this at all convincing. I believe Facebook will be managing much of the physical hardware involved, likely in their existing data centers. IMHO, the Libra Association will boil down to Facebook and the payment processors who have signed on. This strikes me as very much Facebook's currency.
AlphaStar is APM-limited, which means it can't just rapid-fire click every location on the map. It has to judiciously pick which places to look in the same way humans do. (At least that's how it worked for the version they showed last year.)
APM is effectively bandwidth, but just as important if not more important is latency -- which is called TTFA, Time-To-First-Action. See https://illiteracyhasdownsides.com/2016/12/23/time-to-first-... and the Skillcraft.ca study.

If they're not limiting AlphaStar's TTFA, then it can respond instantly to problems all over the battlefield, which is superhuman in an uninteresting way.

There are nuances to all of this:

>At last count, there were 2.5 million sellers hawking products on Amazon, making it the largest single employment-related arbitration clause in America.

Everyone will have his own opinion, but from my perspective, as someone who used to sell on Amazon, I would never consider myself an Amazon employee.

There are probably[0] much larger forced arbitration clauses out there. Chase recently pushed one out to all its credit card users.[1] I would suspect they have more than 2.5 million users, but am not sure.

[0] I say "probably" because Chase actually does let you reject the agreement within a certain timeframe. I believe you can still use their services if you reject it, so it's not quite the same as Amazon.

[1] There is still time. If you want to reject Chase's binding arbitration, you are still in the window to write to them and reject it.
Hm my experience has been different. I'm always delighted to see that 37 nose at my gate.

I can't speak for pilots but as a passenger, I've been in an a319 that had enough pressure issues to give me sharp pain in my ears that lingered for a day, and annecdotally they feel more prone to turbulence with their big wings.

I'm too tall for either of their seats, so perhaps that's why I don't notice the comfort you speak of.
Care to share them? So far I've found that only Stripe provides such a high quality of service for the pricing, but I'm genuinely interested in alternative!
People are not less deserving of stable software or good UX by virtue of being highly specialized and highly trained. These users, as much as anybody, have every right to be upset when their software experience is degraded, so I reject your premise unequivocally. If opinions like yours are prevalent inside Mozilla, then the organization has gone cancerous and I fear it's days of producing praise-worthy software are drawing to a close.

Consider the following: over the years I have convinced a dozen or two users in non-technical careers to switch to firefox. Most of them do not install extensions, at least for themselves. However, without extensions, I would not have recommended firefox to them in the first place. Firefox's rise in popularity is owed to the word of mouth campaign carried out primarily by people with technical/foss careers or inclinations. Why would I, or anybody, suggest a browser that I do not enjoy using? To suggest software to somebody is to go out on a limb for that software, because if the person you are suggesting it to has a bad experience with that software, your personal reputation will take the hit for recommending it. So why on earth would I stick my neck out to promote Firefox when Firefox is no longer software that cares about the needs of users like myself? If Firefox has adopted a "socially progressive" model of disregarding the needs of technical users because such users have more software-privilege, then they have taken the wind out of their own sails[sales].

(I put the words 'social progress' in scare-quotes because I also reject the premise that infantilizing software is in fact socially progressive. In truth it's socially regressive, since it's effectively technical people deliberately reducing the exposure non-technical users have to technical problems that might challenge them to learn more. The true impact of infantilizing consumer software is to pull the ladder up behind us. Reinforcing and widening the dichotomy between technical and non-technical users is inherently socially regressive.)

I have some friends who work at a medium-sized and very profitable company in SF that gives them every other Friday off.

They have to organize it such that the office doesn't shut down completely on Fridays but that's not so hard, swapping weeks with someone is usually possible.

An interesting effect of this is retention: once people are used to working two fewer days a month, they are very reluctant to lose that "perq."

As a random point of comparison, in Germany an employee has a legal right to work part-time unless the employer can prove your job can only be done full-time. "We'd have to hire more people" is not proof. Your benefits would not change but you'd earn N% less money, based on how much less you work. IIRC the maximum is half-time. I have no idea how often it's used but in principle it's an awesome idea if you want to change your life up, have kids, get a PhD, whatever. (I don't remember whether you have a right to go back to full-time, but I think you do not.)
I think the OP might be talking about student debts.
Having watched the livestream from January[0], the AlphaStar agent was able to create its own individual agents to play against and then learn from in the same way AlphaZero learned from chess & baduk/go historic games. In AlphaStar's case this learning period was described as experiencing the equivalent of hundreds of years of aggregate gameplay.

This allows an agent to adjust to novel strategies not seen before because Starcraft II's number of possible game states exponentially increases as the game progresses; compared with chess and go that have large albeit fixed board states. There's also a competition for individuals who build their own AI engines[1] for Starcraft II much like how Stockfish and LeelaZero compete against one another in their own respective AI chess leagues.

I unplugged my family’s Alexa, since they weren’t using it but left it on. They haven’t used it at all for months and haven’t plugged it back in. It sits on their shelf. I wonder if this is common, where families overestimate the usefulness of voice assistants and then rarely use them after a couple months.

With the right infrastructure, 12 miles is about a 45-50 minute ride, for what it's worth. When I commuted from Santa Monica to El Segundo it was 13 miles and the bike averaged ~5 minutes slower than car (I was in the best shape of my life and loved starting the day that way, to boot.)
I read a study a while back that suggested that there is a maximum of approximately 6% of any given population will use cycling as a means of transportation without cycling infrastructure isolated from automobile traffic similar to Copenhagen.

I'm hoping that the growth of things like electric scooters will drive more demand for such things.
I suspect it will play unusual opening build orders, like it did in the show matches last year. That would give it away earlier in the game than its micro. I'm hoping to see AlphaStar come up with some viable build orders that pro humans haven't thought of.
Yes, advanced countries need to lead the path so that less advanced ones benefit from them, even if they don't have a direct gain to this they maybe owe that to less advanced nations.

A bit tong in cheek ofc, but showing goodwill can be good for the image of a continent which serves its attractivity and might render its non plastic industries a bit more advance since the path of not using plastic seems clearly ahead (non native speaker here, excuse weird wordings)

Yup, I also use basic auth for in-development websites for my customers. It's just a few lines in nginx, and very flexible. The website doesn't even need to know.
I also hate AMP and its getting harder and harder to avoid. I created a hosts file that blocks as many AMP domains as I can find. Personally, I would rather not read an article then to visit an AMP site. If you are interested, here is the AMP hosts file: https://www.github.developerdan.com/hosts/lists/amp-hosts-ex...

The hosts file is easily added to something like PiHole, uBlock Origin, or Steven Black's hosts project. Many other tools also accept host formatted block lists.

I'll be the first to admit that the list is lacking, but I would love to accept pull requests if anyone else has an interest in contributing their list of known AMP domains
The original 10$ aren't "gone", they're held in reserve in the form of bank deposits and government bonds. If you hold Libra, you supposedly have a claim against those.

This is unlike a fractional-reserve bank, which can turn those most of those $10 into loans of any sort and still pretend it's cash that's available at any time.
There’s a different dimension that may or may not understand ML, but are cognizant that any data created will be viewed at least by the company that creates it.

I fall into that category as I have time, nor do I trust any evaluation methods, to determine if a company is using my data ethically. If I create data and store it something that’s not mine, then I only do that in situations where I’m comfortable with the owner doing anything they want with it.

I understand ML and know that Google has to at least use it for training. I’ve also worked on IT long enough that even in super tight controlled environments data are misused by administrators.
“To carry out this plan, it will take a volume of 7 cubic miles of olivine rock placed on 2% of the world high-energy, tropical shelf-seas each year.”

To put this in perspective, the global annual oil production is about 1 cubic mile [1], and concrete production is about half a cubic mile [2], [3] (4.4 BN tons at 2.4 t/m3 = 1.83 cubic km = 0.44 cubic miles)

APM ranges change the whole game. If you have low APM - one kind of units are superior. When APM get's higher - another unit might become superior.

That is also why amateur players copying pro-players can loose to a "weaker" unit combinations. Because when you do things at 50 actions per minute you will not get the advantages of certain unit types.

In the context of AlphaStar it was clearly visible in its first games. The AI chose ranged units and every commentator during that game was saying that AI has an inferior army. However when within the battle its APM were allowed to reach 1000 that type of unit became the best possible unit to have.

Really appreciate this level of detail, all of this is really helpful.

In terms of biz-dev I'm happy to share, because it's been the definition of doing something that doesn't scale, but it's worked to this point. When we were getting started, our team + family and friends split up the task of pinning independent coffee shops on Google Maps, by using keyword searches like "local coffee," "espresso," etc. From there, we'd profile these locations by documenting their phone number and then searching the web for an e-mail address and (preferably) an owners name.

Once we had those email address, we'd setup sales campaigns to anywhere we had an e-mail address to - we still do this today.

In terms of our approach at scale, we're hyper-focused on partnerships and reputation.
1) partnering with company's like Square, Odeko and a number of roasters has allowed us to find customers in existing channels, avoiding the need to deploy a massive sales team (that requires egregious funding) to knock on doors
2) reputation is everything in coffee, and the more customers we add, the more referrals we get from existing locations.

Because we support a single vertical, having a few customers that love our product and are willing to voice that praise has gone a long way - our goal is to continue facilitating that level of enthusiasm, in order to grow.
Just tried and I get CORS errors when trying to access localhost in Firefox, also on images via xmlHttp ...

Edit: It works with image elements!

img = document.createElement("img")
img.src = "http://localhost:1337/service"

Btw, CORS is a PITA when doing pure web apps, apps that doesn't requre a server. I recently made a RSS reader web app, but had to use a CORS proxy.

I wonder if there is any way I can use an image element to bypass CORS and read RSS xml that way !?

Except they are removing The Office and Friends. These are my "run in the background while I do work" shows. I was happy when they raised the price because I was happy to give them money for what they gave. But after this, if Parks and Rec also gets cancelled, I'm not sure paying for Netflix streaming will be worth it for me.

I understand Netflix is probably not that more than 50% fault since they don't own the rights. But still.
If you believe you should be able to talk down the street without getting harassed or raped, you can vote via not dressing like a slut. Who exactly should be responsible if not yourself, and how? Many people on HN sit around trying to avoid sexual violence that is laughably less brutal than what 2, 3, 4 generations ago were doing.

Morally repugnant victim blaming by any other name smells just as foul.

Here in Hawaii at least, the hiring process is actually reversed from most careers. You pay a variety of fees just to park your license there - wether or not you actually complete a transaction. Most brokerages will hire anyone so long as they aren’t actively damaging the reputation of the firm.

Technically correct answer, but missing the point about how job transfers/retraining are way more difficult than they need to be... hence people being "unable" to quit.

The worst part is that there is only one sensor because having only one sensor allowed them to not document it and requiring pilot retraining. They just found a loophole to exploit, it had nothing to do with a single sensor being a good decision.

I don't think something like this would be that successful in the USA - it's not lack of parking that keeps most people from riding, it's lack of protected bike lanes (or other "safe" routes), and lack of cultural acceptance of biking.

Plus, open, street parking isn't that safe in a lot of cities, if I could ask for some specific parking infrastructure, I'd ask for lockable bike lockers... though I'd rather see bike lanes and other infrastructure that helps me get to work safely.
Only problem is you would need 300+ million acres of new forest to offset human activity. 300 million acres is larger than Texas and California combined.

And then you need to deal with mature trees which aren't sequestering CO2 at any appreciable rate.

There is nothing limiting a disabled person’s browser from executing JavaScript, screen readers are generally not concerned with how an HTML element was created (server side or client side), but just read what’s on the page.
Calculating Netflix profitability over the short term is hard because it’s difficult to value the residuals from their IP. If for example stranger things is still being watched in 20 years that’s less content they then need to pay for over time.

I don’t think they are creating a lot of valuable content right now. But, that’s more option than fact.

Unlike AlphaStar, this AI is not APM-limited; IIRC the top bots tend to play with about 100,000 APM, compared to 400 for the top humans. Serral won easily, despite the AI's vastly better mechanical skill.
