To be fair, I live a suburban area that is relatively safe. We have clean sidewalks and almost no one using them. I started letting them go to the corner, they had to respect not going further and coming back when I asked. Then to the mailboxes around the corner, they would get the mail. Then around the block. It was a progression based on trust and mutual respect.

This is an excellent article with nice thought experiments and a practical model. Key takeaways for me:

"The very first coin flip transfers money from one agent to another, setting up an imbalance between the two. And once we have some variance in wealth, however minute, succeeding transactions will systematically move a “trickle” of wealth upward from poorer agents to richer ones, amplifying inequality until the system reaches a state of oligarchy."

1) Winners can be completely determined by luck, much like in real life (and especially business). And 2) without anti-oligarchy policies, wealth accumulation to a few people is built into capitalist (or is it just scarcity-based?) systems.

"We found that this simple modification [flat tax on wealth] stabilized the wealth distribution so that oligarchy no longer resulted. And astonishingly, it enabled our model to match empirical data on U.S. and European wealth distribution between 1989 and 2016 to better than 2 percent."

So if you want to keep capitalism, but prevent utter inequality the implication is the best way is a wealth tax.

QRs are truly powerful.
An obsession ... no ... where its relevant I have spoken about it. Like if I say I loathe Google and then asked why I provided the reason. When ATAP released some new tech I pondered X. All done in the last two to three weeks. Further, everything else I commented on in the last two to three weeks had nothing to do with X.

Since our last exchange I haven't posted anything about it or had planned to. Here in this hidden thread I saw another member pondered something I did after our last exchange. I fully didnt understand why anyone would care that much about what I have to say about Google or why I loathe Google to the point of being told no more.

Overall I still dont fully understand it, but will refrain from talking negatively about Google (unless extremely relevant or not say why) as it leads me to point to a reason that is upsetting to various HN members(whoever they may be).
I know the posted title is generally preferred when linking articles but in this case I think the title doesn't accurately describe the article. I clicked not really realizing what the article was about.

The gist is Google is imposing new internal rules to restrict harsh or personal criticism of other employees, in this case to prevent employees from criticizing an executive hire who was involved in the Trump Department of Homeland Security. I gather the controversy is related to DHS's involvement in child separation at the border. A secondary controversy involves internal employee criticism of presumed anti-unionization efforts because removed from company message boards.

Maybe go with: "Google Employees critical of moderation designed to restrict internal dissent"?

Note the "users" part in that sentence. If you self-distribute extensions _to other people on the internet_ then yeah, you probably want some web property for those files to live. Like a github repo, or a personal homepage, or AMO.

And if you don't want to be subject to AMO's security review process, then out of those options, don't pick AMO.

Not too long with current stunted nuclear reactor technology. Just about a millenium for energy use on par with current EU average.

1000 years is not that long. Better we get fusion running positive or find something even better than that, which is not impossible in a thousand years.

(But perhaps people would have some laugh on how we handled specifics, say on economy, resources. Similarly like we have fun at medical medicine or astrology. They will definitely use or finally be things we have not envisioned or guessed.)

Mind you, many things would be quite familiar to a person from 10th century in today's world, barring culture - or translatable and potentially possible to educate them about. Maybe future will have it even easier, instead of telling, experiencing.

Our society is different than the one thousand years ago, but not too different.

Ask HN: Book for deep learning best practices
I almost finished reading this book: Deep learning with Python [1]. It is a great book for a beginner or programmer aimed on working with deep learning. The book provides a step-by-step guide for solving a variety of problems, mainly classification and regression problems.

Now, I would like to read a book focused on best practices and intuition of ideas (i.e., what to do when a DNN does not work as expected or what to look at when debugging a DNN). That is, the kind of knowledge gained from experience. In some of the projects given in [1], the author suggests how to tackle some of the issues that happen when the model does not work as expected (for instance, in one example he explains why using bidirectional RNN does not improve the performance of a basic RNN).

Although, after searching for a few months, I think that this kind of book is not available yet. As far as I know, Karpathy is the only one that shares this guidelines [2]. However, he does not post frequently anymore. Any suggestions?

I don’t know that it has anything to do with the U.S. government, so much as U.S. social norms which sometimes consider mentioning the existence of gay people as a “sexual” topic (and therefore banned, demonetized, or flagged as adult content) even though many aspects of being gay are not sexual.
Maybe homelessness sucks a lot less when you can hang out with the talking flowers and trees in beautiful golden gate park all day.

Privacy here is no different than an employee using his employees computer. These systems save lives and alert parents to harmful activity. All the kids are informed and troubled kids often will send a message with trigger words intentionally as a cry for help.
No, when they get the product shipped in they stick a seller-specific label on it, then commingle it. When I order an Xbox an employee goes to the Xbox bin, picks any of them and scans it out of the system. Amazon now knows which one I got and where it came from, because the barcode identifies it as originating from seller X. If I complain to Amazon or send it back they can now look up what they shipped me and see if some seller consistently ships them bad product.

In essence commingling prevents you from efficiently grabbing something from a specific seller, but it doesn't prevent you from knowing which one you grabbed.
(Kneejerk reaction to this headline) I feel like >90% people are zero-hit wonders by this kind of standard. Maybe we have a good career, a good family, good friendships, travel to a lot of places, or whatever other interests we pursue. but how many of us are going to write much-loved software that is in wide use for decades?
We can't tell the truth about aging
That's a strange thing to ask. IF you're a real poweruser, you're not using the standard release version of firefox, you're using the dev, beta, or nightly version. In which case you have all the power you want and you can install literally anything --no matter how insecure or horrible it is-- by opening the add-ons settings, clicking the gear, and selecting "Install Add-on from File".
Don't document too much.

For what you do document, have a central repository with a clear organization.
> It is only redistribution that sets limits on inequality.

> In a flat redistribution scheme, all those possessing wealth below the mean would receive net funds, whereas those above the mean would pay. And precisely because current levels of inequality are so extreme, far more people would receive than would pay.

In their example, everyone has the same chances of winning/losing the same percentage of their wealth with every transaction and eventually the money trickles up until one entity has it all.

However, this is not how markets work. You don't spend or gain a percentage of your wealth in each transaction. It's more generally a fixed fee. Bread costs what bread costs, not k * wealth.

And, frankly, not all people are created equal. Not under the law. Not physically. Not geographically. Some people have advantages over other people. I know we'd like to ignore that, but we can't and we have to stop that.

The reality is, some people are born with disease. Some are born in the slums.

This is not fair and as a society, we should have some mechanism to balance our placement in life. I say this being born with great advantages over almost everyone. I wasn't born rich or even with a father but even a single mom wasn't enough of a disadvantage to stop me from approaching the top.

I live with this ... guilt. Why do I deserve something better than my neighbor down the street with one leg shorter than the other? How do we mathematically quantify the fairness of that?

We don't choose our lot in life when we are born, yet we claim everyone is equal. No they are not. We might all deserve the same rights and responsibilities, but some are smarter, cuter, stronger.

Where this comes into play is: Envy. When envy grows, bullying increases. Those with more are intentionally or not, socially disadvantaged by those who have less. In fact, those who have more will find themselves producing less, retracting into the shadows to go unnoticed by those with less. We build walls around our houses.

I am "privileged" so to speak. I despise that language and that social movement, but I came into the world better off and can't justify any sort of deserving it. I wear that badge with a sadness for those who have to work harder, try harder, struggle more.

I don't think there is a realistic solution except periodic wealth redistribution like the article suggests. I would give up some of mine for a better, more just world.
It's curious that you hand your phone back to them, especially since you paid for it without the benefit they'd get being factored in. I doubt they would have better use of it than giving it to someone who needs a phone, even an old one, such as a child, or even selling it online.
But what is the trend? Is whatever you claim like acknowledgement valuable in terms of real world effect? What are the statistics on men's health? What if acknowledgment isn't a solution?

As to your second part - is sort of see the back and forth like this .

You "We are supporting men who are carers"

Me "What about men who aren't carers?"

You "perhaps look into being carers"

This is the opposite of an empowerment message. You're saying if they want support they must conform to being you.

I don't want anything from you sir. You represent no one and nothing. I was merely contradicting your statements that the two things you mentioned are being done for men, when in fact they're being done to men.

What do I want from you? To acknowledge that becoming carers and being acknowledged as having mental issues isn't a solution for anyone.
Then you educate yourself on those versions, and discover that the "dev" edition is not a prerelease version at all, unlike beta and nightly, which are. The Dev edition is a version of the main release channel with flags turned on/off to enable all the "only powerusers need these things" functionality out of the box.

Like installing whatever extension you want directly from file.
The downside to that is that even with a well written bot, there is no source of truth for history, as the bot can become disconnected from the server, which implies we should move history logging and archival to the server, which is a bridge to far for many people; in particular Drew (the author of TFA) believes chat should be ephemeral rather than persistent and he is not alone in this camp.
Haven’t tried it yet, but judging from the templates, this is really cool!
The worst of it is that kids learn being monitored is normal and "a good thing". Something far too many adults are already comfortable with.

The equivalent would be hibernation, though.
Again, you're continuing to insist that morality and legality are equivalent.

In some countries, beating your wife is completely legal. Certainly you wouldn't argue that it's moral.

Laws aren't written by average people, they're written by politicians who do immoral things and get away with it. They allow immorality for their own benefits.
I've already answered this. Drop the rhetoric, please.

When I was going through school I was taught that this is the sort of thing that happens in the GDR--the surveillance state. We watched videos/documentaries on this. These are the tools of totalitarian states is what we were taught. The technology has changed but the end result hasn't--it's still chilling.

This has come up for my family this past week. When my son came home from school and said he feels uncomfortable with all of the video cameras in the hallways I was shocked that this was a thing. He said he even felt uncomfortable going to the washrooms as he couldn't be sure there weren't cameras.

The measures of surveillance employed without notifying the parents was shocking to me--with no option to give feedback or opt out? I haven't even looked into other forms of monitoring like what's shared in the article. But I'm going to find out.

I make web applications from top to bottom, meaning their frontends, backends, and datastores. I enjoy refactoring just as much as creating from scratch, and I know the importance of documentation and good communication. I give back to my community using my skills and am eager to grow with good mentors.
Sure, but none of this supports the stated thesis that these revolutions happen every 100-300 years and that they are a result of debt bubbles. WWI was not a debt bubble, it was a war. Not the same thing. It was also much less than 100 years before the alleged onset of the current revolutionary cycle in the 1970s.
Was this not precisely what was done to James Damore?
Probably the cheapest “mass” transit system I’ve ever heard of in the US.

And some unique capabilities:

“Two other van lines connect Jamaica Center to the Rockaways. During Hurricane Sandy, when thousands in this area were left stranded, dollar vans continued to run. Anthony Campbell, a driver, told me, “The M.T.A. buses withdrew their service because they said the downed trees weren’t safe for the buses. You know, we were smaller, so we were able to travel to and from.”
> Frankly, I personally don’t want politics and culture in everything I read and that can be a feature, not a bug.

From anecdote as someone who was brought up in a very religious household and went to an Islamic school for boys over the summer for multiple years, I can't disagree enough. Young religious people tend to be cynical about everything from morality and values to will and work ethics. If you have a son on which you impose a religious lifestyle, you have a good chance that they put an act in front of you.

I eventually became a moral nihilist in theory, but someone that recognizes the importance of values in practice. (like a classical liberal against gambling.) And to tell you the truth, I don't know the proper, working way to instill values and work ethics (especially the latter) in people or kids. I, for once, suspect that I came to appreciate a respectful manner through seeing others shoot themselves in the foot by maintaining a rebellious attitude and feeling disgusted with poor manners at times.

Right-wing Millenials who aspire to be good parents often came to appreciate family values/religious values through the same way I did. by rejecting "degeneracy".

Note: I am not saying that right-wingers are morally superior.
Jonathan Blow is also talking about data-oriented programming as a basis for designing his Jai programming language.
The US seems to be geographically closer to Europe than China, so I'm not sure how this point would make Europe choose China over the US.

Turns out it was all a mistake.
Technology and governance (interesting that we use 'program' in both contexts) are excellent insofar as they enhance our liberty.

If they gadgetry advances the "be your own President" concept, it is useful.

David Wheeler famously said: "All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection."

But all of that indirection implies more bureaucratic policy, state (or State, depending on whether it's technology or governance) and an encroachment on individuality in the name of a single, narrow vision.

Topics such as corporate policy, voting, transportation, and medical gadgets get at the trade-offs involved in maximally automating and extinguishing the entropy from everyone at the expense of individual liberty.

PREDICTION: these over-managed efforts become Towers of Babel, as is human, and promptly collapse, as is human. The effect of technology may be to support a higher tower and shallower collapse, but the tension between the individual and the group is the only consistency.
The rules we have here in Norway, which is a variation of a EU thing IIRC, allow kids to get hurt, but not permanently. There are a lot of dangers which are non-obvious, especially to a kid. Crevices where the rope for tightening the hood can get stuck, potentially strangling them. Stairs where a kid can get their head through but not their body. Swings where they can lose their fingers thanks to the chain mounts or similar. Lots of similar things.

I have a friend who design playgrounds, and he operates on the principle that there's two kinds of safety. It's the objective safety I mention above, and there's the subjective safety which you mention. Kids should have objectively safe playgrounds, but they should be allowed to challenge their subjective safety feeling.

The objective safety has mostly to do with the design and maintenance of the equipment. The subjective safety is more due to the design of the playground itself and the elements in it.

One example is a climbing wall. With the right layout, sufficient impact sand or rubber on the ground around it as well as proper maintenance, it can be objectively very safe but still allow kids to feel they push their boundaries.

When it comes time for me to upgrade, the phone will probably be worth $30 or so. Maybe I’ll Gazelle it instead. Or if some carrier is offering a trade in deal, use that. Or, most likely, I’ll keep it as a pseudo-iPod

My point is more that I won’t just toss it in a trash can. Reusing it or recycling it is easy.
Any background sources on that? I'm curious because SpaceX is using 3D printing for some of their engine components
