CEO & Founder here:

After working for 5+ years at the German research institute Fraunhofer I've noticed the gap between research and business applications. So I founded Alisio Computing to provide businesses with a hand curated choice of state-of-the-art algorithms. From the automotive industry I learned how important is for B2B the seriousness and dependability, so that's why I offer as unique selling point an EU based company happily following the draconian data protection rules of the GDPR. Also, although registered as a German GmbH, all European companies are first class clients and we'll handle your requests in English, German, French and Spanish.

And after this elevator speech, I introduce myself. My name is Eduardo Pena Vina, long time member of HN and even longer time lurker. With Alisio Computing I built the service I'd loved it existed when I was at Fraunhofer. So tired of waiting for somebody else to do it, I built it myself.

It was a challenge to build a dependency based distributed scheduler for batch inference tasks. I'm excited to see how it behaves under real load. :)
I welcome all your feedback.
The main impossible action that serves as an AlphaStar giveaway is that it doesn't use control groups. That by itself doesn't suggest an unfair advantage, though. It's just noticeable in replays. The APM still seems to be in line with high-level players.
This is going to be controversial, but I would say this is the sort of thing HN would be in favour of if it wasn't Mormons doing it:

- consumer-side voluntary filtering as an alternative to demanding censorship

- elastic approach to copyright

- technological solution to social problem that's also a neat hack ("customized DVD player with software running concurrently with the DVD playback to perform edits")

It does raise the question of how OK it is for people to construct a bubble from which they remove entire classes of people (I'm betting that queerness is very heavily edited, even in its least explicit forms).
As someone very close to this story, the way they were doing it should have worked, but Disney writes the laws and owns the courts.
Not causing the general public to fear and mistrust the police is even more important.
Why do you think the centralized body would say that to fox and not to cnn? After all if there are about 50% people thinking that fox spreads lies and 50% people thinking cnn spreads lies the decision of centralized body could go any way.

It is better to let everyone speak and everyone to make their own decisions
If the software is indeed open source, it's entirely reasonable to expect to be able to use it unencumbered- I would be a bit bothered and would also complain if that were not true.

Danish lawyer here. We have rather usual defamation laws regarding libel and slander. I am not sure they differ from other European or American laws in any way that hold Danish media to higher standards. Even publishing true information can be a violation of our criminal code, for example certain information about private life or about past criminal convictions.

All in all, though, I believe we have wide freedom of press and freedom of speech not unlike what they have in the rest of Europe and in reality not that different from what they have in the US. Yes, we do have a media liability law which makes the editor (or even the journalist or the publication) liable for defamation in the content and for publishing certain information about a person's private life. The effect is that Danish publications are forced to worry about defamation against persons or corporations, or groups of people such as certain statements regarding religions, ethnicity etc or about information regarding persons' private life.

But apart from what I describe above, newspapers can publish more or less whatever they want without fearing criminal or tort liability. They mostly have to fear ridicule. A Danish editor will not be held liable if his newspaper writes wrong facts about the unemployment rate, crime, business climate, taxes or just about anything else that is in the news.

I believe the answer to why Danish media still have a decent standard despite free online news and Google and Facebook getting the ad money, is found in the subsidies. Virtually all large media in Denmark are either public entities or private entities that are heavily subsidized. By far the largest Danish media is the national radio and TV station. All the large newspapers receive huge subsidies. They simply still have budgets to pay for journalism.

Here is a list of the recipients with amounts:

Thanks, I haven't been following closely, I should start pitching VCs!
Not really, in the case of AWS, if you’re running a business depending on it, you’re not depending on getting help from a public forum, you have at least a business support contract where you get immediate, live support from people who can see your account, do a screen share with you etc. my experience with AWS is that they are batting close to 100.
Yea, I'm sure the people who designed prison procedures didn't think of that before, rolls eyes
The problem is that all else isn't held equal.

There are two ways to increase revenue per m^2. One is to intensify the construction. The other is to limit supply.

For numerous reasons, the latter approach ... seems to predominate. Rather than constructing denser residential, commercial, and (where appropriate) industrial space, the tendency is both to sprawl out, and to simply refuse to allow new construction. San Francisco is the pathalogical case, but hardly the only, and numerous other US growth areas (LA, Seattle, Austin) and elsewhere (Sydney, Vancouver, London) are to large degrees similar. There's new construction ... of large McMansions. But not of denser forms of housing.

By imposing an arbitrary constraint in one dimension (rent extraction per unit) but allowing intensification on another (density or height of construction), this should be addressable.

Keep in mind that most of SF is at best 2 storey construction. You don't have to airdrop Salesforce Towers all over the city, only allow construction to 4-5 storeys, to more than double effective density. Apply this more broadly over the SF Bay Area, and what's become a region-threatening blockage to housing availability (and incidental issues such as traffic congestion, hours-long commutes, access to schools and services, etc., etc.) would be lifted.

The fact that landlords (or banks, through mortgages) can extract arbitrarily high amounts of rent from a given area regardless of intensity of development, is the problem. The land value tax is one approach, and is probably a better one. I'm considering what the implications of a rents cap might be.

A usual objection to rent controls (increases on existing units) is that landlords are not incentivised to maintain or improve the quality of units. Whether that might also apply to a cap is a possible objection.
The whole world is not thinking that what our politicians did, if they did anything, was illegal. There have been plenty of interventions about the sentence, most of the ones I've heard about are against it.

How justice works is to usually make the initial judgement on a low court and the recourses go to higher ones. Not on this, it was directly judged on the higher one and no recourse can be made about the judgement, only about how it was reached.

This ruling is not something that "deserves" rioting, it was the straw that broke the camel's back.
I believe the key difference also is that you can just not do your work without reddit really minding (that's how some subs have died). That's very different from Stack Exchange.
> Despite the good intentions behind the decentralization of power and the checks and balances that have been built into your system, you have ended up with a nation where the most powerful person has blatantly and publicly broken all the norms and all the rules, who regularly and repeatedly tells the most outrageous lies, and where a very large amount of people stand behind him nevertheless because of large scale & organized disinformation campaigns by the likes of (decentralized) propaganda entities like Fox News.

Have you ever considered the option that you might be the one who is disinformed? European media have a tendency to "group-think" and to extrapolate certain narratives to the extreme. For example, I observe that even reputable German news outlets like "Der Spiegel" put a negative spin on every single story about Trump. My guess would be that the Danish media is simiarly biased given your views. And apparently, your laws did not prevent that from happening.
I see this reaction every time one of these services is discussed here. People with angry, even violent opposition to people fast-forwarding through parts of movies.

It's fascinating. I can't imagine an issue that could affect the parent's life less than this. And yet he and a couple other folks downstream are properly losing their soup over it.

As to the point in question, I tend to disagree that Disney will be disincentivised from making more Star Wars movies because of that time somebody skipped the "Luke's Parents On Fire" scene when showing Episode 4 to their kids the first time.
I think it's a little strange they'd even chase someone over two belts and a shirt... I wonder if they knew he was armed, since it was shoplifting and not like a bank robbery, but escalated though from there anyways.

Just really surprised they'd prioritise such low value items. I know I've heard in some cities like San Francisco, the police are so busy with everything else even cars being broken into or stolen isn't even a high priority. So the police are pretty much useless and only good for just to get it documented for the insurance company. Then, of course, you have to pay for a copy of the police report, and some or maybe even most places won't even accept credit, debit or even checks. Exact change only. Ideally, though no one should steal at all and in the ideal world, everyone who stolen would be caught.

My first iPod Touch was stolen in high school, and the police took a report. I even thought I knew who did it... The officer even asked me if I'm sure I didn't misplace it or lose it, trying to blame me I guess. I kinda feel like corporations are more protected than everyday citizens sadly. Maybe a Walmart in a city will bring more income than a single person though is the logic.
We can think about this in a more nuanced way. The language of instruction, for example, is an important consideration. If foreign students are going to pursue degrees in France, in programs where the coursework is exclusively or primarily in French, then why not offer them the normal tuition-free deal? It would benefit French culture and France’s economy, while also respecting the fact that most of the students in question would come from former colonies.

English-language degree programs (thinking of other European countries) are a different story. There you end up with a situation that is more parasitic or exploitative.
Honestly, I’m not sure the exception is necessary anymore.

Good on you for coming here to clarify! :)
It was a reasonable request. You appear to be upset about being asked for supporting links, despite having made the same request yourself. I genuinely don't understand that. I'm concerned that we're drifting too far away from the orignal topic though, so there may be limited scope to explore this aspect of things here.

Delta-V isn't the only consideration. Seeing as how humans need constant supply and environmental control, travel time for a reasonable dV budget is also important; e.g. with aerobraking it takes less dV to get to the Mars surface than to the Lunar surface, but the life support and (even for robotic missions) power/thermal systems need to be much more substantial.
Ads are a different topic.

Anyway, ads aren't content themselves but a means for paying for that content, which in itself is completely legitimate.

The reason why I'm not against using ad blockers is that the way ads often are used today poses security and privacy risks as well as performance problems.
It wouldn't kill Wikis, it would just force them to operate as non-profits. Maybe not such a bad change. If they want to be a for-profit, they can still have volunteer writers but no volunteer admins.

That's only one way to do it, probably the most efficient one for mass farming. In my country there is a similar delicacy, but instead of tube traditionally geese were fed by hand. Farmers would prepare balls of food, and then those balls were pushed into the geese's beak and down the throat by hand, until it's totally full. This is more time consuming than using a funnel and a tube to just pour the food.
> they remove entire classes of people

They remove themselves, voluntarily. I have a problem with censorship by Twitter or Facebook because of their near-monopoly status on social media, but I have no problem if some small company serves their small target audience with censorhip that they choose themselves.

And that's even if you believe the view is ruined by windmills. Personally I don't mind seeing them at all, but there have been protests here against installing them off the beach. By now that windmill park is complete and all you can see from the beach is some toothpicks on the horizon on an exceptionally clear day.

I really wonder what causes this split among people, why do some people not mind at all and other people mind so much when they are looking at the same things.
Yes, there are people out there using slack as the alternatives aren't that better. To use Microsoft teams the entire company needs to be on office365 and teams isn't that integrated with every service yet. Google chat is supposed to be cool but it has the same issue.

Most of my clients use slack in their companies with teams from 20-25 to around 600.
> injection of dependencies should be done via an explicit method/constructor parameter.

Yes! This functional approach is so simple yet so powerful and magicless.

I've recently refactored a small 20k LOC codebase and the first thing I did was to ditch some magical dependency injector in favor of passing dependencies as parameters to functions. Often dependencies are functions themselves making it straightforward to compose and test.
True, but I'm glad it's still an option as I didn't feel like buying a micro-hdmi->hdmi cable just to log once ...
Ad blockers are distinct as ads are separate from, and frequently interfere with, the actual content. The ads themselves are written by different people.

If the goal is "consume media as the artist intended", then ad blockers are entirely in line with that goal.

I think ones health and perhaps even perception of its imminent decline makes people avoid commitments such as taking a role in their association that requires some activity. The same may mean people in their retirement do not engage in long term projects.

As for cooking, cleaning etc one can optimise those activities to do them almost mindlesly I imagine.

For the racism part: France, as an ex-empire, is very attractive to its former colonies' students. And we have agreements to make it easier for them to come. So we get many students from Africa or the Middle East, often on merits and/or scholarships. In my engineering school, there were students from Turkey, Sudan (might be South Sudan now)...

Raising the price of tuition will mostly impact people from these countries rather than people from other European or American countries.

> To frame the right to free speech in regards to whether or not it is "working out" is not a particularly American frame of reference. The principle that individuals should express themselves as they see fit, and that this is the foundation for a free and open society, is essentially square one.

When I said "working out", I wasn't talking so much about which effects free speech is having (although that is a question well worth asking) but more about whether speech in the US really is as free as it was ~4 years go.

Could being attacked on twitter by the president for something you say not be construed as a very real retaliation by the administration and thus a curtailment of free speech?

How much would these students be willing to pay? How much does it cost the university to provide the tuition?

I'm in the UK. Universities charge £10k+ a year to foreign students (US, Australia, etc do the same) and they have queues of them waiting to sign up. There are plenty of foreign students willing to pay thousands of euros a year and it is madness for France to subsidise them, then complain that universities lack resources.

Nothing prevents some of the money from being used to provide scholarships to bright foreign students who couldn't otherwise afford it.

This needs to be looked at with pragmatism. The position that tuition has to be free is ideological, not pragmatical.
Pretty dumb to use against the police...unless you're El Chapo and can buy them by the hundreds. And have thousands of ex-military men on payroll. In short, an army and the money to keep them armed.

In a country like Australia, what do they think it will happen once they blow a police car with one?

These would be great to kill people, criminal heads, politicians etc. That's all. Do it, collect the money and hope to stay out and alive.
