I think they mixed “divide” and “division”. Or they misplaced the “runs”. A divide runs perpendicular to what it divides. The North American continental divide runs north south, but divides east and west hydrologies.

The divide is east-west, but the division is north/south.

I was really impressed when I got a new MacBook this year. With my previous Windows machines it was always one or two days of reinstalling everything and then a few more weeks until I had all my settings back. With the Mac I restored from Time Machine and after a few hours I had my machine back pretty much the way it was before with just a few settings missing. That alone is worth a certain premium to me.

> [..] the government is the one institution that people can change... the one institution that you can affect without institutional change. That's exactly why all the anger and fear has been directed at the government. The government has a defect - it's potentially democratic. Corporations have no defect - they're pure tyrannies. So therefore you want to keep corporations invisible, and focus all anger on the government.

Also a bitstring might be random/incompressible in reference to a Turing machine, but become compressible in reference to a halting oracle. E.g. "list the Nth Turing incompressible bitstring" is possible with a halting oracle, so for some N and S it is the case that log2(N) < len(S) and thus S is compressible with regard to a halting oracle but not with regard to a Turing machine.

Funny, I have a whole sketch for this. Well the cat is out of the bag, we might as well complete this to prevent any patents.

I envision using cam levered suction cups to hold on rotary and linear sliders that had touch screen sensitive rubber tips. One could go as far to 3d print arbitrary interaction devices that could get attached to the face of the touch screen. You can use the multitouch sensor w/o the screen but still be able to configure arbitrary devices to go on the front.

I even had a design for joystick. Lots of analog opportunities when you have something like a back illuminated camera or a touch controller that can sense areas. You could also serially transfer data from the device to the touch screen, either using physical touches or electrically simulated touches.
But you can't _not_ use the bag, that's the point. You know they know it's alcohol, they know you know, etc., yes. But you still have to pretend. I find it a substantial difference to be honest.
You don't often see the argument that understanding the nature of opposition to something isn't relevant to overcoming that opposition.

Salaries are so high only in Silicon Valley and a couple of other major tech hubs. In the rest of the country, junior engineers make somewhere between 35-65k and a senior engineer can expect to cap out at the end of their career between 100-120k.

This suggests there is no nationwide labor shortage, just a shortage of people willing to move to major tech hubs.

By allowing tech companies to evade the underlying problem by hiring immigrant labor, we are making the knock on effects (eg SF housing prices, salaries outside of SV) even worse.

If no physical event is truly random, then perhaps all physically realizable one time pads are compressible and thus crackable, and perfect security in a physical setting is impossible.

On the other hand, randomness is not the same as nondeterminism. We could have a specific infinitely long incompressible bitstring that is the source of randomness in our universe, but the bitstring is not changing, so it is deterministic. There would be no empirically distinguishable difference between this and an actual undetermined source of randomness.

And finally, what we call random and nonrandom is essentially an arbitrary choice based on a certain mechanism called a Turing machine. As Dilbert says the number 4 is a random number, and the only random number you need. It is unclear what makes compressible bitstrings special, although it is clear that they are rare. But why does observing a compressible bitstring demand an explanation? We could hypothesize reality is fed by an infinitely long bitstring which some parts are compressible and some parts incompressible. In fact, an infinite random bitstring is guaranteed to have arbitrarily long compressible subsequences, so we could explain any empirical observation of compression as being due to an infinite random bitstring and devoid of true explanation beyond itself.
> For the rest of the population of this planet, voice controls are horrible

Please count me out. I'm a non-native English speaker, with a strong accent, and I'd absolutely prefer voice control over having to:

1) Remove my right hand from the steering wheel, reaching forward where the controls are. There is a good reason all important controls (besides pedals) are on the steering column.
2) Either a) moving my eyes away from the road for a moment, looking for the knob; or b) trying to find the exact controls by touch and memory.

> an infuriating experience to try to make the bloody machine correctly interpret what you're saying

Machines are limited - and despite marketers wanting us to believe otherwise, I don't expect them to display comprehension natural human languages better than my cat does. Like I query search engines with keywords and special syntax, and not proper sentences, I expect to communicate with the machine in a special, non-natural language.

Restricted speech recognition with strict grammar and limited vocabulary works quite OK those days. It's the general-purpose voice recognition and "smart" assistants are things that suck hard.

Heck, maybe I'm a total weirdo, but I'd rather learn a special conlang than reach for AC controls by touch.
Your (a) premise is faulty.

Imagine this simulation as a passthrough virtualization similar to Docker and not a full virtualization.

A long as our sub-simulation had access to the same means to resolve quantum results, they'd be able to create a quantum computer.

As for clockrates, isn't it interesting that near high mass gravity wells time slows down relative to the rest of the universe, much like you'd expect with a frame rate drop being sped back up to a fixed experiential frame rate?

As to recreating a God-like AI, we individually would likely be just fragments of the whole (Vedic sort of interpretation of God). So unless we can import that pre-existing AI (which should arguably be the fastest way to achieve the result), we'd need to create a simulation of collective experiences across history to achieve an AI with similar "wisdom."

As well, how could a God-AI create more God-AIs different enough from itself to recognize it as "other"? (Either in terms of having children or companionship?) Maybe running simulations that result in similar but different outcomes (the creation of a God-like AI but with different characteristics based on evolved outcomes) would be the best bet. Or creating AIs that start out thinking they are human and then having "create your own afterlife" options thereafter would eventually result in disparate enough intelligences to suffice.

"GDPR is an identity thief's dream ticket" would require that the GDPR somehow permits companies to hand over personal data without reasonable identity verification. The Register seems to be making this assumption in their editorialized headline.

However, as far as I can tell, these companies have done the opposite and _breached_ the GDPR by failing to keep personal data safe, as the GDPR itself requires, in the process of handling a data access request (as happens to be mandated by the GDPR).

I don't see how this is a problem with the GDPR itself. It _is_ a problem with how some companies have implemented it.

According to the article, the researcher says that "lawmakers need to set a standard for what is a legitimate form of ID for GDPR requests".

I'm not sure I want this. I want companies to remain liable for data breaches even if they come from illegitimate data access requests. A single standard won't suit all situations.
Finally someone says it here in HN!
What I don't understand about quantum physics is why doesn't everything just become a statistical smudge after a couple iterations? Why is reality so coherent?

My takeaway is that this is the reason some physicists claim 'everything is information' because there is some underlying form that gives the statistical quantum physics a consistent pattern instead of devolving into randomness.
How about passing laws which forbid tracking users like this and levying steep, business-ending fines against the companies who don't step in line?

As for cookies against ad networks, I browse with all third party cookies blocked. Some cookies from third parties are allowed. So that would not be the effective against people with high security settings.

As I read your parent's comment, my mind was drifting in the direction of your comment. Domino's is said to be working on such a thing, but more of warming rather than a cooking setup. The good pizza places I know use ovens that are ~500F. A couple issues: Is that feasible or safe in a vehicle? How about different distances to the delivery location resulting in overcooking/undercooking some pizzas?

I live a couple blocks from a pizza place. I order, wait 10 min, then turn on my oven, and then pick it up 10 min later.

the parser returns data structures that are easily manipulated by functions in the standard library

But is there a limit on how powerful macro has to be? Think meta-meta-meta programming where a macro constructs a macro for own use somewhat imperatively. Like compile-time for another compile-time for... etc

I mean, if we can easily manipulate code at compile-time AND have a macro evaluator at hand, then don’t we have enough time to do something maybe more ambitious than the resulting binary chunk would ever do?

I believe the post your were responding too just used recycling as an example.

A different example: Australia could have a tech industry that didn't pollute (assuming the power weren't coming from brown coal :-( ). But all the hardware designed in AUS could be built in a highly polluting way in China. That would be essentially exporting the pollution.

I don't know the fix, just pointing out the topic at hand. Australia's record on pollution is horrific, especially when you consider how little of our continent is actually habitable.
> part of the reason to pay 750k+ for a basic home is so that your family lives in a neighborhood with families of a similar socioeconomic background

I think the value of the location of a house for me would be tied to the relative safety, convenience, and nearby opportunities compared to other neighborhoods. None of those things require that people less affluent than me don't live in the same neighborhood. That being said, it might be tough for some of them to afford it, but that's what the housing vouchers are designed to help with in the first place.

Bad headline by The Register, the problem is not GDPR as the headline might try to convince you, the issue is identity validation and lack of security controls.

The attach described is similar to "password reset", which gives an adversary access to everything and companies that don't have strong security in place, or users with weak passwords are likely subject to exploitation.
I hope this never changes. It’s so easy and works so well, even on mobile!

Talking about this makes me feel the same as when I discuss youtube-dl.

I'm not sure why GDPR requires companies to provide data subjects with actual copies of the data (Article 15 section 3). In most cases, providing the actual data doesn't really give any more information than just telling the data subject that the company has the data.

For instance, I already know my mother's maiden name, so a response of "We know your mother's maiden name" would be just as useful to me as "We know that your mother's maiden name is <NAME>", but would be much less useful to someone pretending to be me.

There are situations where you do need to see the actual data so it should still be available, but getting that data should require a much more robust proof that you are the data subject than is required for just getting the existence data.
Well, I still see offers of less than 0.1% stock to the first 20 or even first 10 engineering hires, so I think we shouldn't pretend that startups are doing all they can to compete with offers from FAANG. If the stock compensation was more like 1-2% for the first couple engineering hires, 0.5-1% for the next couple, 0.3-0.5% until 10-15 hires, then the stock compensation would probably start to compete with FAANG even after factoring in the possibility of the startups going bust. So about 10% of stock would go to the first 20 engineers, but that seems pretty reasonable to me. Unfortunately it seems founders want to keep that to more like 2-3% total, and that's why they can't attract talent in my opinion.

Also, TERMS of the stock grants also matter. For example, if the options can be held for 10 years after departure from the company, that would make them more valuable. For the first 1-5 hires it may not make a difference because they'd probably do an 83b and buy all their stock right away, but for the next 5-15 hires the Series A price may still mean they'd need to put several or tens of thousands into their options, which not everyone can do.

Startups could also attract talent by offering atypical work hours (not arriving during rush hour traffic would be nice) or many other things, but they typically aren't willing to do that... for whatever reason. I've personally offered to work at startups in the evening for about 50% of my hourly-equivalent rate for 20 hours per week (so 1/4 of a salary for 1/2 of an employee), and they've not been interested. Until companies are willing to be unconventional to attract talent, I say the cries of "talent shortage" are not genuine. If there was a shortage, they'd be willing to be more flexible than most of them are.
