I hate to delve into this controversial area in such a throwaway story -- but...

The cost of labor (and living) in this country (California in particular), is making everything terrible. And at the root of it, it's driven by people with good intentions piling on restrictive regulation after restrictive regulation about housing, safety, liability, etc.

Everything that you might choose to complain about stems from the high cost of employing anyone -- and related to that (I genuinely lament), how much it costs to barely live around here.

BART and buses suck? It's because we cannot hire enough station agents, police officers, maintenance staff, etc to properly man the system.

Your commute sucks? Because you have to live so far away to afford anything reasonable in rent or mortgage.

Restaurants suck? It's because again, labor is expensive, land is artificially expensive because of restricted supply.

Pizza sucks? It's because you can't open a pizza place (except staffed by underpaid immigrants) at any reasonable cost, and instead have to resort to robots that can't get a crust right.

This is a major problem -- our country is not getting so much older like some countries, yet our costs are in runaway mode. Something is wrong with this picture.

Yes, I'm saying that you can get more and faster data for cheaper in most EU countries, and IIRC Sweden is an extreme case while Austria is also much better and right next to Germany, which is why I picked these two.

That's nothing though - in Seoul, people are watching YouTube videos on the subway. In Germany, it only became reasonably pleasant to read text websites on the phone in the subway a few years ago.

Let's try to engage rationally instead of baseless "are you trolling" attacks.

Can you post a comment in a day or two to let us know if anyone got in touch?

Ideally, next time, we'd do this experiment without this little thread.
> Green New Deal, for example, is first and foremost a bundle of socialist policies using climate activism as a vehicle. If this is truly the greatest threat to humanity, decouple it from adjacent political policy.

Sorry, that's impossible. Anytime you're doing anything with a direct or indirect price tag in the trillion dollar range, you're having a huge impact on the economy and jobs. You're picking winners and losers. So either you need to be explicit about it like the Green New Deal is, or you're hiding it, and you get the huge distortions caused by people like Senator Shelby giving NASA's SLS huge amounts of money because they spend it in Alabama.

What we need is a sensible alternative proposal from Republicans, and then a negotiated middle ground. That's the way we used to do things. It wasn't perfect, but it worked a lot better than just shouting at each other like we do now.

If this level of "hostility" offends you, please don't read the US-related topics.
> He thinks people should be punished for selling proprietary software correct?

No? I'm not really sure what you mean by "punish" here. He advocates for Free Software -- to my knowledge he's never advocated for punishing anybody.

> He appears to support actions that harm others by some of his statement.

How? Where's the harm? What's harmful about questioning the age of consent being 18 (which, may I remind you, varies from 12-19 worldwide). Why are some aspects of US law declared beyond the scope of acceptable discourse? You can disagree with him (I certainly do) but I don't see why we should shame him for even broaching the subject.
AWS is largely a side-effect of this memo, not its instigator. At the time, Amazon's dog food would be books/clothes/literal dog food.

>There are a few details that may save Picnic’s pizzas from tasting as if a robot made them. For starters, the dough preparation, sauce making and baking — the real art of pizza — is left in the capable, five-fingered hands of people.

The dough making & stretching is still done by humans.

It looks like this robot distributes sauce, cheese & toppings (it only shows one topping, though). Then cooks it.
You realize that you also might be taking up a portion based on sociological and ideological forces that are driven by corporate profits.

The primary question that I like to ask people who make statements like this is as follows: "What is your mental model of how vaccines get approved and pushed to market?"

Even money says that you have a model that looks like "drugs" where vaccines are biologics, and treated completely differently.

Then I like to ask "If you did get sick from a vaccine what could you do". In the US you can't sue, you end up in a special vaccine court. HN in general opposes things that have extra-judicial processes attached to them (secret warrant courts, binding arbitration). For me extra judicial has become a "smell" ala code smells that make me look deeper at an issue.

This is the same industry that gave us Martin Shkreli, Aids tainted medicine knowing sold in 3rd world countries, and $600 epipens. The suppression of science that is going to upset the apple cart is a thing. See John Yudkin and pure white and deadly, see suppression of tobacco research, see Barry Marshall and the fact that even after getting a Nobel prize some Dr doubt his results.

There are plenty of people out there that are mindlessly "pro vaxx" who have zero understanding. The debate has made me educate myself on the topic. Vaccines are an effective but flawed product, one that needs educated consumers and a hell of a lot of reform.
Personally I think good identity system should have these properties:

* Identity provider should not see which services users authenticate to. Afaik this is now a major issue with current "Log in with X" systems

* Services should not be able to discover which other services user has authenticated to, i.e. the identity presented to service A should not be linkable to identity presented to service B

* Identities should be relatively stable. The identity presented to certain service at certain point in time should be the same identity presented to the same service in some other point of time.

* The system probably needs to be able to allow users to reveal additional information about their identity. This is problematic requirement because in wider use it is ripe for abuse by service providers

* Optionally it'd be nice if the system would have some facilities for offline usage, where neither user nor service needs to talk to identity provider.

This is fairly hairy problem, with many more concerns in the details and other people probably having different requirements. From a quick search, Credenticas (now MS) U-Prove system comes closest, but I haven't delved really into it to see if it actually matches my thoughts.
Imagine a pizza robot where you could specify the extent of uneven bubbles in the dough. Now that is innovation.

Yeah that's not really what I meant by "practice." I meant just give them the text book and tell them to make sure they understand how to do the problems without looking them up, and that the best way to do that is to do the "practice problems" that look difficult.

Why is this problem of “being known” so common? Does it stem from the way you’re raised? Personally, I’ve never cared two about how well known I was or that my accomplishments were recognized, etc. I just derive joy from the activities I pursue in themselves, I don’t really give a hoot if anyone acknowledges them.

I never joined social meadia because of this. I didn’t see the point. Seemed like a boring waste of time to me when it first dawned. Sure that has dramatically reduced the number of acquaintances I have in comparison to others, but I feel that the relationships I do have are of very high intimacy and quality.

Where does this need to “be somebody” come from? Has there been research on it? Are you more likely to develop a thirst for fame if you’re given a lot of external motivation/reinforcement as a child? If your parents focus on appluading you rather than the things you do? Not trying to be snarky here, I am genuinely curious as someone who has always been quite indifferent to the concept of fame.

To me, FB is a way to keep in touch with non close friends and relatives. I know what my close friends are up to anyway, but without FB I'd have no clue what the "next tier" 50-100 people do.
Leaving essential information out of the headline is a common clickbaiting tactic.
Perhaps, but the article itself says that Comac is having problems certifying its (first) commercial airliner. And part of what was targeted was Airbus data relating to certification.

I add (first) because I've read about the C919 elsewhere.

The NRA advocated for gun control to disarm the Black Panthers. Gun control has historically been used to disarm minorities much more often than for public safety.
Is Facebook a net negative?
So, it used to be that saying anything remotely skeptical about Bitcoin was the way to get downvoted on HN. Nowadays, it seems that saying anything negative about China is how.

Although, in the field of aeronautics, it is not like China is the only "state sponsor" to engage in espionage, or that this is anything new for any of the major powers.

>I then realized that I had no values at all.

This is too real. The curse of taking the irony pill.
> Our central question, however, was whether there is any evidence for a direct supporting role of the mirror system during mentalizing tasks. Apparently not.

and

> This conclusion is contrary to suggestions that the mirror system might aid the mentalizing system to inferring intentions of others.

[10] Doesn't seem to support the idea that the mirror system is at all involved in ToM. It may cite other papers, but the conclusions are not in support of that concept.

---

> They could just as easily by a reason why people with ASD are lacking in theory of mind rather than be evidence that the result is incorrect.

I didn't rule this out. However, from the evidence we have, there isn't enough to rule it in, either. The neurological patterns being seen could simply be the mirror system, which doesn't seem to have to be involved with ToM being active. We don't understand enough.

If the test is incorrect, then there isn't a reason to believe people with ASD are ToM deficit.

Further, the result that people with ASD have a mirror system deficit hasn't always been reproduced. [0]

[12] Brings out the statistician in me a bit. They use Bonferroni correction, which while it works, it isn't the most suitable way of dealing with the problem on hand. If instead they'd used Sidak correction, the resulting confidence may have been different. They would have ended up close to the same result, but if they've made this very simple mistake, (choosing a correction method that has known applicable flaws, in fact probably the weakest familywise method), what else have they done?

> the mean z score for ToM overconnected clusters was correlated with ADI-R Social and ADI-R Communication scores (r = 0.45, P < .05 and r = 0.51, P < .01, respectively), although neither survived Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons.

If it didn't survive simple correction over multiple comparisons, then it probably isn't significant. However, rather than looking at that, this value that can't survive correction lead to their conclusion that their first hypothesis and second hypothesis were correct.

I don't have the time or energy required to use the supplied data to re-evaluate the given data, but currently there does appear to be the suggestion that this paper is a victim of P-value hunting.

Which is kind of the point. These practices are incredibly wide-spread, and incredibly harmful to the whole field.

Actually she's not "telling him how it's done". She makes no claim to be able to make a better Facebook. What she is doing is saying she believes that tech companies have become large enough that they are engaging in monopolistic behavior.
