Anyone know if there is going to be a class action lawsuit started? I am a victim of this breach as I stayed at choice hotels in the past. My personal information was most likely leaked in this compromise. It is unacceptable that retailers collect our driver's license and personal information when staying at their property and then have the never to store it in their database after the reservation has been completed, especially when the room was inspected by house keeping and noted to have no issues. The personal information should be deleted!

I'd recommend "The Accidental Superpower" - Peter Zeihan.

To summarize, he views the world economy as entirely enabled by the US Navy. The protection and projection of this naval forced has allowed an unparalleled level of relatively free global trade.

With the population bust, he predicts the US will turn inwards. The world economy will fragment. Less rigid economies will collapse. Global investment will all but dry up. His argumentation style is compelling whether or not you want to accept or debate his conclusions.

Nice name for the device! To be honest, neither of the founders are electronics or software people, we are nanotech engineers. I don't actually know how useful the source code would be for determining if our device is working as intended. We would certainly release information regarding how our device performs QC checks and have the device validated by a third party.

Nope, it still holds. It’s in fact impossible to call an async function from a sync function and return the result. To use await you have to make the function async which means the caller needs to be async-aware and so on, all the way to the top of the stack.

There are hacks like “deasync”, but I personally wouldn’t use it.

Rust can block on an individual future so, say, a sync callback can still take advantage of async functions.

I often wonder what post AGI society will look like:

- Will we become pets?

- Will we become extinct?

- Will we absorb into the AGI?

Maybe the AGI will just disappear and leave human affairs to humans and with some residual presence to ensure we never create a second.

I think much more likely than real AGI, we create an "intelligent" computer virus that locks up all networked computing power.

I find it unlikely that piracy and government navies imposing tolls on shipping lanes will return without a US Navy. The Petrodollar is dependent on the US Navy, but that is it.

Very few militaries have modernized, until recently, if the Falklands War occurred again, the British and the Argentines would be largely using the same weapons and equipment (partly from deliveries of the F-35), the greatest pressure on tyrants is access to their Swiss bank accounts, or whatever many apartments they own through shell companies in New York or London.

From what I've read, they don't work quite as well but they do still seem to work. Economists have spent a lot of time trying to figure out why. Generally, they come up with behavioral explanations, like recency bias, and structural ones, like agency issues.
> And anyway, we have a precedent for what happens when there is significant population reduction: the Black Death. Life got way better for the vast majority of people who survived that event.

The difference between the Black Death and a population decline driven by lower fertility rates is that the Black Death disproportionately claimed the lives of the old and the frail. The result of that (at terrible cost) was an increase in average productivity by removing the people who would otherwise have required assistance, along with a reduction in competition for scarce resources (like food).

A population decline driven by a reduction in the fertility rate effectively does the opposite -- you end up with more elderly people compared to the number of young working people. And we haven't had a meaningful scarcity of food in centuries, so the things that are scarce now are certain types of skilled labor (e.g. doctors), which you can only really source from young people because there aren't a lot of medical school applicants from the population of people 55 and older.
This is the workflows written in legacy formats - Ab Initio, Informatica, IBM DataStage - this is a $10B+ industry - so lots of usage out there.

"The most frustrating paper:

I have true hate for the authors of this paper: "A deep learning framework for financial time series using stacked autoencoders and long-short term memory". Probably the most complex AND vague in terms of methodology and after weeks trying to reproduce their results (and failing) I figured out that they were leaking future data into their training set (this also happens more than you'd think)."

Capitalism is about the allocation of capital in society. The article tries to make the point that Capitalism depends on ever increasing markets and/or labor forces. Capitalism is a self-organizing system and will allocate capital for products and services wherever the individual participants decide is the best place for them to put their capital to work. If fewer babies are born and more 60+ exist then capital will flow to adult diapers instead of infant ones. Capital can be destroyed as well so it's not like we'll have toxic waste dumps of unused capital. A shrinking population is a change and an opportunity, it's not the end of the world.
Their infrastructure may be laughable when compared to the experience that we've grown accustomed to as people raised with gas stations everywhere. However it _does_actually_exist_. Which isn't exactly something you can say for the offerings of say Nissan or Chevy. I'd also imagine that if your experience with their charging network was that frustrating it makes you an atypical user; as I can only assume the bulk of people drive their commute everyday, and that's about it, maybe pick up the kids, maybe run a few errands, but not running 200+ miles per day. Meaning you get to charge at night.

Why should the US be borrowing for economic activity? What business does a government have choosing winners in the marketplace. The US already has one of the most efficient capital markets in the world.

The government should on being the best administrator of markets possible. They should never be taking part unless there's a ton of evidence it'd be the best option compared to alternatives or simply a moral obligation, like health care and (more so in the past, before parcels) the postal service.

Otherwise they need to go away and focus on bettering and updating the regulatory and tax regime. Not "bringing jobs" or generating economic activity, or w/e else via directly putting money and management themselves. The former is the only way they can really improve the economy. By letting the millions of highly capable do what they are already doing, while efficiently dealing with externalities that the markets and courts can't handle.
> Small cap stocks outperform large cap stock

Yes, and value stocks outperform growth stocks over long enough periods of time too. But what does that have to do with the market not being efficient?

The academic explanation for why small cap and value outperform large cap and growth is that small cap and value companies are riskier investments. The factor risk premiums exist because investors need a higher return to reward them taking on more risk.

Risk premiums actually support the existence of an efficient market.

"How does broadcasting this tone create a clear and present danger?
It's merely a call to attention and then you need to listen to and process the subsequent message."

False alarms can create a danger because they condition people not to take an alarm seriously.

Even if people are pretty conscientious about treating alarms as if they are real, very few of them will continue doing so against peer pressure.

Yeah, I didnt start cracking passwords until I was in college - I didnt need to. When in junior high, the IT admin would kick off a tape back up of the network, and stay logged in. Id wait until later, like 6pm-7pm and dial into his computer (his computer had a connected modem that accepted inbound connections with no username/password), do my thing, then restart the backup before I was for the night, so he wouldn't notice in the morning. Never did anythinf destructive, but I did have about 6 bogus accounts with full admin access. Kept those accounts to myself, lest they grt discovered. They never did... He left around my freshman year of high school. Didn't trust his replacement, so kept my lips shut about the access I had. Graduated with nearly all of my accounts with admin access intact.

In college, had to crack some passwords. Turns out all of the lab computers, the admin password of all NT lab Pcs was a 5 character building abbreviation + room number of where campus IT was based... I was expecting the crack to run overnight on my then 500 Mhz P3. The password was cracked before I could stand up to go to dinner. Last cracked passwords on my old XP laptop, that I couldn't remember the password to. Hard part is getting the unencrypted password file (since I think Win2k, Windows encrypts the SAM file on disk and exclusively locks the file while the OS is running), but if you can run something with system authority, you can inject a dll and extract the decrypted file. You still have to brute force the NTLM hashes after that, but on modern hardware, takes just a few mins. Back in the NT 4 days, at least the way our comouters were configured, nonadmins had write permissions to everything under c:\Windows. Easy way to get system? Replace the default screen saver with a copy of cmd.exe, then log out and wait for the logon screen saver to fire. Back in the day, screen savers ran as system. They dont any longer.

On the NT 4 boxes, I was able to script everything. Pop in a bootable floppy with the script and an NTFS driver, reboot, wait for the script to complete, having copied the SAM file, then reboot again and back to normal. Walk back to my dorm room, crack at will.
Google open source policy. Even if you work on something with your own equipment, on your own time, and it doesn't relate to your work, it probably still relates to something Google does. Therefore Google asserts ownership over all work their employees produce and thus they have these disclaimers.
Chicken or the egg right? Pre WWII we were hit with a massive depression like everyone else. As the war effort ramped up and the rest of the industrialized world was taking it on the chin we conveniently got to reap the economic benefits of having a totally mobilized workforce, without, y'know, all our manufacturing hubs getting Dresden'd. Surprise suprise, we win the war and don't incur heavy infrastructure damage AND get the benefit of a suddenly energized economy, so we do what we do and keep the party going. Stick our noses in Korea, get in a massive arms race with the Soviet Union, fight a couple proxy wars with the Soviets. Well turns out the Soviets are light weights and can't hold their liquor and bow out early. Now we're the only ones with a ginormous army and can subsequently print our own money. We got away with it because everyone that we kept close were highly incentivized not to call us on it, on account of the soviet's nasty habit of rollin up to a place and makin it the quality of life equivalent of an Andy Dick comedy special.
I think piracy is highly likely without a strong unified (not necessarily American) naval presence. It wouldn't be Somalian pirates. I'd guess it'd look more like the piracy of the 17th and 18th century where state-sponsored individuals create profit and havoc from interference with competing countries.

Shipping fragmentation also seems likely without a strong global navy. As you mention, the Petrodollar is dependent on the US Navy. The collapse or hampering of energy trade alone would launch the world into a great depression.

I'm not sure how you're trying to relate the modernization of militaries. From my understanding, the USA exports old versions of our military technology to many allies.

> Productivity increases due to automation go to the owners of capital.

That is only true if there is a monopoly on automation, which there generally isn't. In which case the productivity increases go into lower prices, which result in greater demand for whatever is still scarce.

That can be capital owners (e.g. land), but it can also be skilled labor or literally anything else which is in demand and people choose to spend the money on that they had saved from the lower prices driven by automation.
Right, well I think the disclaimer at the top of this page says it all.

The heritability of fertility is about 50%, I believe. So about half of the variance in number of offspring is genetic. The remainder is other stuff: culture, chance, etc. I would imagine that the genetic component is multi faceted. Some of it might be a desire to have children. Some of it might be a resistance to certain ideas or lifestyles that result in fewer offspring (if that seems far fetched, consider first that political orientation is also about 50% heritable).
>But now I claim that their composition `foo bar` never crashes (on `head`); can you prove me right or wrong?

Mu. But I can prove that your argument is not well-formed.

1. That is not composition it is application. (This is not simply terminology, you using application is what allows you to reference bar inside foo)

2. The actual composition of those functions (foo . bar) is not valid Haskell and would not typecheck.
A colleague (who supports farm subsidies) explained to me that farm subsidies incentivize hard work while education loan forgiveness incentivizes laziness.
Historically.

Food is a global commodity and is largely fungible. If every farmer in the US went bankrupt overnight we could easily sustain ourselves by importing food from everywhere else.

Famine is really only a possibility in crushingly impoverished (much of Africa) or criminally mismanaged (Venezuela) economies. The potato blight was a secondary cause of the Irish potato famine, the primary causes were poverty and (English) government incompetence. (or malice, if you prefer) The United States has nothing to worry about.
> I also suspect that personal preferences like that aren't all that sticky across more than a few generations

There is pretty strong evidence that the variance in the number of offspring is about 50% genetic.

The root cause is the slow death of individualism and rise of group identity.

I read the whole memo and couldn't see how race was relevant in any of this (apart perhaps for the short "but as my time at Google continued" paragraph towards the end). Had Eric Garner been of a different skin color, the coworker likely would have made similar remarks regarding the protests annoying her. People tend to be less concerned with issues that don't affect them directly and my guess is that few Google employees have ever directly witnessed or experienced police brutality.

If anyone in this story is racist, I'd argue it's the author of the memo. He identifies with Eric Garner simply because they look physically similar. He distrusts and lies to his colleagues because they don't share his skin color. He is concerned for his "black students" rather than his "students".

I truly believe we would all be better off if individualism and color blindness made a come back.

To be clear your question turns an Econ question into a poly sic one.

It’s well worth asking but it is a completely different domain. From an Econ perspective this is pretty clear. Borrowing when things are cheap is more efficient than when they are expensive.

Also as a side note, you present lots of opinions as facts in your argument (even if they are opinions I might find agreeable).
The insurance business is about paying claims with minimal friction, expense, and dispute, and making sure premiums are set at an appropriate level . Triggering bad faith discovery and expensive extracontractual settlements is not the point, and it is exactly what the companies identified in the article have done. The ability of claimants to bring those claims more than levels the playing field.

I'm just floored to see a post on HN criticizing someone else personally on HN and then calling insurance a "scam"? It's a regulated industry, it's definitely not a scam, and I'm really saddened at the level of misunderstanding brought about by a poorly written one-sided article that doubtless was inspired by some kind of sharp-elbowed personal injury litigation strategy by sources in the story.

The _only_ universal _carrier_ solution for messaging is SMS. What does iMessage do to get to all cell phone users? That is the only thing that matters here. full stop.

I have many relatives that wanted me to "install" Whatsapp. I refuse. So whatsapp is the failure here? Or is it me because I refuse?

Google is not the failure. Hell, the problem is right in the title of the OP: "Lock-in". At least google is trying to get SMS into the 90's.
