> If we ban loot boxes in video games, why dont we ban Magic/Pokemon card boosters that you can buy from physical shops?

Video games are always available. You can purchase lootboxes 24/7 without any real effort. They use the same techniques to manipulate people as various casino gambling games. There have been players, especially some with learning difficulties, who haven't really been able to tell the difference between virtual currencies and real currencies and have ended up spending quite staggering amounts of money on lootboxes or virtual crap.

Pokemon cards, Panini football stickers and so on generally have to be purchased in a real world shop - either a newsagent or a comic book or games shop. There is a physical limit there, and a limit imposed by social reality. I'd like to think that if a twelve-year old walked into my local supermarket and wanted to buy £1,000 worth of Pokemon cards, the shop owner would probably query whether that's a good idea.

(There's also the issue that, strictly, by common law in England, any contract entered into by a minor for all but the most essential goods is voidable on the grounds of capacity.)

Lootboxes and gambling-like mechanics now exist in all sorts of games. The latest FIFA game has lootboxes and has been determined by PEGI to be rated '3+' and by the ESRB to be suitable for 'E' (Everyone). Up until they were patched out in response to critique, NBA 2K20's lootbox functionality took the form of literal slot reels, in a $60 premium game.

If a parent goes and buys children Pokemon cards or Panini stickers, they kind of know what's going on. If a parent goes and buys a game with zombies and chainsaws on the cover, and a Mature or Adults-Only rating from the ESRB/PEGI, they know their kids might see a fair amount of blood and guts.

No ordinary person who isn't familiar with the details of the video game industry thinks a FIFA or NBA game contains gambling. When faced with Doom, Grand Theft Auto and Call of Duty, something like FIFA or NBA 2K seems a relatively 'safe' option - except 3+/Suitable for Everyone rated games now have gambling in them.

For some real examples of how this is affecting people: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-48925623

I don't know... I'm willing to try it. I was surprised when I first tried a bean pillow in Japan. The next surprise was a pillow that is soft on one side and rocks on the other. I was really surprised that I liked the rocks the best. Eventually I ended up with a buckwheat pillow, but unbelievably I occasionally like to swap it for a bag full of rocks (especially in the summer). If you don't try it, you don't know!

It's interesting to see countries work so hard to developing the tourism and than reaching a point where they can't stop it

I lived in Amsterdam for a year and you can't walk in the city center without drunk/high people around you

I was completely fine with it, but I know that many people who live in the heart of amsterdam that their life changed once they tourist raised

What people should realize is that when the tourist is high in a city/country it doesn't mean that all the people of the country benefit from it.

Only the owners of shops and services around the tourist industry and in many cases it's a pretty centralised industry
Robots are great for repetitive tasks that have low variability like industrial parts that are almost exactly identical to spec. But when things aren't exactly to spec, I'm not sure that the robots would be easily able to recover with where the tech is today. Like let's say a slightly customized order, few buns stick together, something falls, tomatos are slightly more mushy than normal, or isn't loaded to the machine exactly right.

All employment contracts are asymmetrical. Almost all contracts are asymmetrical. The defining features that make feudalism different from any other master/servant or employer/employee relationship are completely different from the gig economy and the gig economy oppresses people in completely different ways.

For example a gig economy employee can withdraw their labour at any time; can choose how much or how little they work (sometimes within some very wide bounds); can often choose where they work; can change from one employer to another and back again freely; in some cases can choose to only work at certain times and locations that have better compensation.

Yes of course there are disadvantages and maybe those should be regulated, and maybe in some cases the relationship is abusive by employers, but the above doesn't sound anything remotely like feudalism to anyone who has even the most basic knowledge about feudalism.
I'm not so sure that's the case, when combined with an extended service contract. The "original warranty" was only one year, and this language seems to say that the length of the extended warranty offered by Amex after the service contract is equal to the length of the original warranty, not the length of the service contract. Although I admit, the language is ambiguous and you might luck out with the right Amex agent (when attempting to make a claim in months 36-48)
"Large numbers of people are operating without benefits."

You're attributing lack of benefits to work situations and employement agreements instead of unjust government distortion in markets and inefficient regulation.
I see no problem with the set method name, this is what is used in other lib in other languages. When you use an immutable lib you understand the meaning and that every operation create a new base object.

This is extremely useful for undo/redo, it basically comes for free with it. You no longer have to deal with invisible mutation, listener, event, you just generate the ui on each change from the base to the leaf, and everything is always correct for free. The advantage over an undo stack is that there is a re-utilization of unchanged intermediate data structure (what is change is only the path from the base to the changed element), so you can add a simple ref check in the ui to not redraw of the underlying data has not changed. So the perf come for free.
I'm glad they're approaching it in a way beyond just "make everything more expensive". It's interesting how when it comes to climate change, a lot of the same people who are otherwise committed to egalitarian ideals immediately jump to "just charge more" as a solution for everything. I'm not saying those kind of policies can't be a piece of the solution, but I really don't see it being effective to tell all but the rich to bike to work and take on vegan diets and give up out of town vacations and stop using a/c, etc. Sure that would probably be effective, but expecting that level of asceticism out of people is just going to push them into the arms of the political parties who tell them "climate change is fake, so take that vacation and don't worry".
Starting in about the 11th century, philosophers in India of the Navya-Nyāya school adopted a similar artificial dialect of Sanskrit, to make their arguments precise. Of course there was no computer implementation backing the formalization, but the goal was similar: to have a language that remains a subset of natural language and (somewhat) intelligible to a typical educated person, yet is a formal language with unambiguous meanings. A good description of this language is in a couple of papers by Ganeri [1].

For example (taken from [2]), instead of saying the straightforward “Caitra goes to the village”, if you wished to be really precise you might say “There is an activity which leads to a connection-activity which has as Agent no one other than Caitra, specified by singularity, [which] is taking place in the present and which has as Object something not different from ‘village’.” (Sounds a bit less unnatural and also a bit less confusing in Sanskrit.)

> [Attempto Controlled English] can serve as knowledge representation…

It is not clear to me when this project started, but there was a 1985 article pointing out the Navya-Nyāya/“Shastric Sanskrit” language as an example of something that is both (somewhat) a natural language and (somewhat) usable for knowledge representation [2]. In its own way that article became, in popular culture in some circles in India, the source of various unfounded memes about Sanskrit being good for computers, or more absurd claims (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14295285).

You cannot limit the number of visitors and let everyone have this sort of holidays.

The most beneficial way to limit the number of visitors for local communities is to increase prices.

If they want to reserve a number of places for people to be able to visit at a low(er) cost (e.g. through a lottery) then good for them, but there is no entitlement to go on holidays to others' countries or to unique places.
It’s a feedback loop. Prices in the Valley weren’t always crazy high, they were just higher than normal for many decades. Then Valley tech companies started getting in a pissing contest with each other to get “the best talent”, driving salaries higher and higher, thus attracting more people, driving housing prices up. Companies continue driving salaries up to convince people that they could afford to live and work there. And on and on...

Same, Same – Or Different? Diversity and Ethics in AI and Neuroscience
Both quotes cite their sources — “former senior U.S. officials with knowledge of the matter” — in the parts of the sentence you cut off:

> The U.S. government concluded within the last two years that Israel was most likely behind the placement of cell-phone surveillance devices that were found near the White House and other sensitive locations around Washington, D.C., according to three former senior U.S. officials with knowledge of the matter.

>
But unlike most other occasions when flagrant incidents of foreign spying have been discovered on American soil, the Trump administration did not rebuke the Israeli government, and there were no consequences for Israel’s behavior, one of the former officials said.

It’s not clear from the second quote alone that “unlike other occasions” is part of their sources comments or the author’s contextualizing. Luckily, they clarify later in the article:

> The former senior intelligence official criticized how the administration handled the matter, remarking on the striking difference from past administrations, which likely would have at a very minimum issued a démarche, or formal diplomatic reprimand, to the foreign government condemning its actions.

Whether or not you trust Politico is another thing. But don’t claim they’re not citing their sources when they very clearly are.
I agree with all of this. When you really start to dig in to cross-client compatibility (and you observe what MJML does to provide it) you start to get a sense that NOT using a tool like MJML is a hopeless path.

This is correct. I have it currently deployed on an Arch setup, but I've also tested it on other flavors of Linux.

Tried testing on Windows as well, which is when I came across the issues with compatibility. Technically, it should still work for most of the graphs. The library just doesn't reliably give proper values for I/O (disk and network). There is also an additional Windows edge case where it does not return proper CPU temp values on AMD Ryzen CPUs.

So it could still work, with the simple workaround of not displaying those graphs on Windows, but since Windows was not exactly my intended use case anyway, I didn't really address it with the intention of doing so if / when it was needed.

If anyone reading this is serious about deploying on Windows, let me know.

Ask HN: What are the ML problems/tasks lacking of good online resources?
Hi everyone! I found this Twitter discussion (https://twitter.com/fchollet/status/1170814529313243137) extremely interesting and would like to know your thoughts. It could be a great way to inspire writers/creators to produce more interesting articles about ML/DL.

What's a ML problem you are interested in but for which you haven't found a good tutorial/introduction?

So you want RFC 2017 basically?
So the bounds check is:

queue.bufs_in_use[rx_index]

If so the bounds check could possibly be safely eliminated by the programmer because I think `wrap_ring` ensures that rx_index will always be in bounds?
Yes, however the difference here is that Chrome is looking at the OS resolver itself first; not just disregarding it, or looking for a magic domain. Chrome is being opt-in, Firefox is being opt-out.

Chrome DoH use cases:

For the average home user, fine; they're either using what the ISP DNS is, or the public ones (1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8 ....) If those are on the 'accepts DoH from us', then it'll use DoH to the appropriate destination.

For the corporate environment, their internal DNS might not support DoH, and as such, Chrome will not even try to use DoH.

The key is that it is respecting the OS DNS settings, not the ability to not resolve a magic domain. If I opt to setup DoH internally, the understanding is that I know what I'm getting into.

Although it seems unlikely now, imagine if we could ever reach 0.9c or maybe even 99.9% of the speed of light.

Perhaps not ships containing humans, but some kind of other tiny ship containing a replicator machine and DNA for humans.

For 0.999c, it would only take around 71 days to reach Alpha Centauri from Earth (as seen from the ship). That's pretty mind boggling.
Yes, they do. Not all cheap flights show up on all aggregators though - the ticketing data feeds used by airlines are arcane and very complex, and some aggregators ignore some corner cases, meaning some good tickets might not be shown.

No it's not. Tourism changes not just prices but character. Consider the recent controversy over the line at Mount Everest. Queueing in line of 100 people so that you can have a minute or two at the summit to take your picture is not the same experience as what you would've gotten climbing Mount Everest 40 years ago. It's this, the destruction of character/experience, what the thing actually is, that is the primary symptom of overtourism.

Yes, the supply curve of course plays an equally important role. However, I have read some claims that the high house prices cause the high salaries, which is ludicrous to me. In order for prices to be high, the buyers must be able to afford it and willing to pay it (the demand curve).
Markets are hardly perfect, but in this specific case it should be the most efficient solution to the problem - if you could fix the zoning and other laws that distort it so badly that it's dysfunctional. And your still going to want to add incentives for things you value but the market does not - perhaps like lower income housing. In some of the other cases you mentioned markets are not necessarily the best solution. Canada benefits greatly from having a single buyer for pharmaceuticals - that concentrates the negotiating power and we get better prices because of it.

Currently living in Barcelona, where 'overtourism' is a much bigger problem than in Norway IMHO, it feels weird. You start passing bills on restricting tourism, then the natural next step is being hard on immigration, then Brexit.

I'm not sure conspiracy theories are sound economic analysis.

How about, population rose but land area stayed the same. All the land got developed (it used to be orchards, remember?) so the only way to get more land for housing was, to pay more for existing plots. So the prices go up.

No need to imagine a class of evil plotters, trying to make everyone sad.
This is not really an apples-to-apples comparison. Yes, it is a form of rent control, but it's not the "rent control" that people typically think of or was referenced in that quote given its link to SF and NYC. While there are some increase limits, they are large and not on a scale likely to have a material limiting impact. What is definitely impacted is the timeframe in which the changes are applied.

> Is this law different?

Yes, it is, both in intention (i.e., to give people time to move vs. enabling them to stay where they live) and in details. I think this will certainly reduce investment groups buying properties though, which I personally think is a great thing overall. I think that clearly something needs to be done, I'm glad California is trying to find a middle-ground here. Not to say they shouldn't also find ways to increase supply as well, but to me the two are not mutually exclusive.

But hey, maybe I'm wrong and totally off-base. I think it's a worthwhile bill though, and look forward to seeing the impact one way or the other.
