McDonald's outside of the USA is supplanting rich cultural histories.

Tourism, especially as practiced by those who eat at McDonald's while visiting a foreign country, is typically disastrous to the local way of life. Locals end up selling trinkets to people for afar with more money then sense. Eventually the city becomes affordable and unbearable for the locals and the city becomes a lifeless shell of what it once was. Insipid like Las Vegas.
Paypal is the most popular billing service that is present everywhere. By not using Paypal you essentially create extra steps for the end user. This goes 2 ways, you need to purchase BAT if you want to use their reward system.

This was partly an big issues as even tech savvy streamers on YouTube had issues getting the currency. This makes the end user less likely to use this feature at all.
Not sure how many favor swipe interactions over having a button.
That's not entirely fair. Yes, LXC/OpenVZ is cool and does some awesome container stuff, but part of what makes docker so neat is more than just containerization. Everything is "stateless"; you can reproduce environments exactly across machines with dockerfiles and as such it lends itself well for local development, but also distributed deployment (such as docker swarm).
How does a paramilitary organization "properly function" without regulations?

There's obviously a middle ground where regulation is allowed. There's no world where artillery, or arming the insane isn't acceptable in a civilized society. Conversely, the overreach of prohibition of arms in places like DC or NYC is not in alignment with the ideals of nation.

To me, the notion of armed civil insurrection against a modern state apparatus is absurd, and has been since the late 19th century. Civil disobedience and disruptive protest, including protest that undermines control of the armed forces, is the only check on the state's ability to wield force. Even a 3rd rate army is able to control civil unrest.

The Internet protocols are all public and are developed by IETF, not DARPA.

https://www.ietf.org/

The Internet is operated by Internet service providers, not DARPA. The U.S. government role in directly operating the Internet ended in 1995 with the shutdown of NSFNet. The ISPs buy hardware from private companies that implement the public Internet protocols.

That doesn't mean that there aren't backdoors of various kinds in Internet infrastructure, but whatever backdoors exist aren't likely to exist by virtue of DARPA's role in funding the original research.

> building a model that, for example, associates technology with men and women at equal rates despite the disparity that exists in the reality is not the elimination of bias

You're assuming that that disparity is not itself a result of bias in any way.
But I think you're missing the point. Deliberately altering the model to produce equal results despite unequal patterns in reality is not the elimination of bias, it's introducing bias.

Is the goal of the AI model to predict crime rates in a hypothetical world where everyone has equal rates of lead exposure? Or is the goal of the model to predict crime rates in the real world?
There don't seem to be any good choices here. Use normal Web browsers and you will get tracked/have your privacy invaded. Use Tor and you will look/get monitored like a terrorist. What do we do next?
Sure, a lot more people would try it if Firefox made it easy. However, they might also stop using it pretty quickly if it's inconvenient.

Here's a similar experience I had: for a while I would open any news link shared on Hacker News in Incognito mode, but at this point it gets blocked so often there's not much point.
> The next step is establishing just how much of the male-female difference is explained by biology. I haven't studied that part of it. But the "null hypothesis", that all gender differences in behavior are due solely to social conditioning, is wrong.

This is interesting and important science, and you're right that clearly there are some gender differences... BUT

1. Given the history of (pseudo)science in justifying and worsening disparities between groups, incredible caution is needed - especially when making policy.
2. The existence of biological phenomena in no way discounts the strong social cues and pressures which shape young humans.
3. The existence of detectable, biologically originating average differences between genders in no way justifies the use of algorithms in such a way that individuals are punished for their group membership.

On HN, these threads always seem to go straight to "BUT THERE REALLY ARE DIFFERENCES!!", which in my mind is completely missing the point.
Can someone explain to me this, as i could not find any real answers from my few minutes of searching. Lets say i have a blog and suddenly people start sending me BAT.

1. How does this impact my taxes? Wouldn't this be considered an income?

2. If i don't collect it where does it go?

3. If my content is being hosted on something like youtube or github do i get it or does the site hosting it get it?

4. How do i go about claiming that i own this, and how is this even verified?

After reading their FAQ, basically to collect any money you need to sign up for an uphold account. In order to become verified on Uphold i need to provide a random company a copy of my passport/drivers license/etc to verify my identity. On top of this they also take 1.95% conversion fee for working with BAT. Ontop of the 5% that Brave already takes by default.

On top of this if you are lets say a Twitch streamer sign up for Brave Rewards, but Twitch doesn't sign up as a publisher on Brave. According to the documentation you apparently get nothing? Where do those tokens go if someone donates?

Would you care to back that up? If I DDG it https://duckduckgo.com/?q=historic+sea+level+rise&t=ffab&ia=...

I end up at https://skepticalscience.com/Past-150000-Years-of-Sea-Level-... ( that's right ) :

"During all episodes of major global ice loss, sea level rise has reached rates of at least 1.2 metres per century (equivalent to 12 mm per year). This is 4 times the current rate of sea level rise."

Not relying on one opinion, I view the XKCD of the sibbling : no sources.

Next hit on DDG : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Past_sea_level :

"Observational and modeling studies of mass loss from glaciers and ice caps indicate a contribution to a sea-level rise of 2 to 4 cm over the 20th century. "

Which is very low.

Would you care to back up your statement?

Right, which is why I was curious to know if there was a better example than KKK member, because we have seen this kind of inquisition approach to politics before.

If you go back to 9/11 we saw this same type of reasoning where instead of "KKK", "terrorist" was used as a fringe stand-in to justify the draconian structure where crazy things like spying, witch-hunting / denial of due process etc. became the norm.

I remember watching Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 in which they interview these sweet old people running a book club where they eat cookies and discuss books. A few weeks into it, the club members read an article in the paper that showed that one of their book club members was there under a fake name and was actually an undercover anti-terrorism police detective, which was confirmed by his department. Thereafter he explores the case of a retired old man who said critical things about President Bush at the gym and the FBI showed up to ask questions about him.

AI is biased. It is biased towards the past. We feed data from the past into our statistical models and "AIs" and then present the results as though it's what will happen in the future. But the future will not be like the past, not exactly, and thus we have bias.

(As a philosophical question, why do we expect the future to be like the past? Well, because that is how things have worked in the past. And thus we arrive at a nice circular argument. :)

Norway taxes petroleum extraction at 78% effective rate as well which primarily goes into the sovereign wealth fund, but also helps subsidize renewables. Norway has also invested heavily in trying to keep the rainforests from being torn down. They're at least trying something, and trying to encourage their own population to become greener, through things like little to no taxes on electric vehicle use, public transit, and so forth.

Slackware's certainly fast to install once you've gotten past partitioning, but partitioning is one of the things Slackware intentionally does not do for you in the installer. OpenBSD's a bit easier in that regard.
Thank you for the response! This seems to be a sector that could highly benefit from AI development, especially given the number of required medical scans is steadily increasing and the number of qualified radiologists is declining in most countries. Given you are in the sector, could you share the names of a few companies / startups that you think are making the most progress?
Are those fit for the purpose AutoSSL was designed for? Looking over that list it seems like those clients were all built for managing a single (or few) certificates just for yourself. AutoSSL was built for managing your customers' certs (i.e. a lot of them) and I have the feeling trying to use conventional ACME clients (like certbot) in this automated fashion could turn into a shitshow rather quickly.
Love Proton, DDG, and Signal. Use them all the time. Never heard of Duple. But, FWIW I use pCloud instead - it's a paid service (I bought a one-time lifetime license of 2TB of space).

pCloud's software is solid. I battle tested a number of other cloud services before selecting them. Their implementation is excellent - with virtually every other provider I found missing features or easily discovered bugs when putting them through the ringer in terms of testing.
Could you be more specific about what is the "spec" you're looking for?

As for examples, we do have some examples of separate tasks (non projects) in the tasks page, that should explain how things work really well.
> What was contentious at the time internally was the Real Names policy. This was all Vic Gundotra's doing. He routinely gave the example of not wanting to interact with someone called "Dog Turd".

To me, this is stunning. IMO, Facebook beat MySpace because of their real name policy. However IMO this was because it enabled discoverability which got the network past a critical point. If I'm on a social network, I want to instantly know who friends and acquaintances are.

Saying "real names are good because I don't want to talk to someone with a silly screen name" is a complete misunderstanding of the product. It's not about the personal preferences of power users, it's about casual users being able to use the network reasonably efficiently.

Sure you can ask users to link accounts or whatever, that's part of the puzzle, but getting the network going is literally the problem you're trying to solve. Understanding how real names fit into the puzzle is pretty important.

I'm not stunned that you disagree with real names. I'm stunned that (apparently) no-one tried to convince you why it was a good idea beyond the preference of some hypothetical power-user.

As for global lock-outs ... yeah. Google isn't the only game in town, when it comes to email and data hosting. They're the only game in town when it comes to drunken comments on silly political videos (or my cat sitting on my keyboard as a livestream runs, or some accidental cut and paste error or whatever else will upset them). If I have to pick one, I'll keep watching Youtube and I'll take my serious business elsewhere, I hope Youtube is making a ton of money for them.
Why not? How do the ad buyers buy the ads which Brave are selling you?

So yeah, all they have to do is to peg their currency to the dollar and it makes the whole discussion trivial. You get your content, content creators get paid, Brave get paid.

This crisis will not be solved unless oil prices go up. Demand will decrease only when cheaper alternatives are available.

But I agree that Norway not extracting oil doesn't solve anything. The only way to solve this IMO is to tax carbon emissions and do so in a way as to make the burning of fossil fuels very expensive. And also restrict imports from countries that don't have similar policies.

And I don't see that happening any time soon.
You're confusing what is technically possible with what is ethical.
Hah. Thank you for this reminder. This is a great example to illustrate the point.

I would say that a less biased (wiser) AI, would learn that this duck/rabbit image is, itself, questionable, and can be perceived both ways (high confidence values for both identifiers).

Me: Is this a duck or a rabbit, AI?

Padawan AI: It's a rabbit (51% confidence as rabbit. 49% as a duck).

Master Yoda AI: Rethink your question, you must. Yes, the most correct answer is.
I receive that survey. I wouldn't go that far as them betting completely on Bluetooth. But it will be wireless.

Neither. The problem referred to is that if the data sets contain biases then the machine learning will learn them.

It really doesn't need a source. If Venice takes too much water from an aquifer then subsidence is unavoidable. The city is sitting on top of a sponge, after all. This is true for any city that's not built on bedrock (which I believe includes half of Manhattan and Miami. NYC of course draws from the Hudson)

Anyway, as the paper states the subsidence exasperates rising sea levels.

Don’t know about the Philip K Dick work but William Gibson has this in Neuromancer.
>No it does not. It says that women are more agreeable and less assertive, on average.

Please, PLEASE look up the definition of 'discrimination' in any dictionary you like, and tell me if you really believe that saying 'women are more agreeable and less assertive, on average' does not fit the definition, or that James Damore's many characterizations of women on his memo ("higher anxiety, lower stress tolerance", "women generally have a harder time leading") don't, either. If that's the case, we are simply not going to agree with each other, so we shouldn't waste our time trying.

It's not ideal right now but cloud dev is clearly the way it's going. I'd say buying el cheapo chromebook + cloud dev environment would work out to be cheaper even if the cloud provider somehow screwed up and took off(not been my experience but i haven't needed to work with k8 yet)
Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. But this is not relevant to what I'm saying. The goal of the AI is not to associate words in a hypothetical world where there is no discrimination or bias. The goal is to build a model that accurately reflects the real world.

Again, there may be justifications to deliberately introduce bias in the model to produce higher rates of association between women and technology than would normally occur if the creators of the AI so desire. But this is not elimination of bias, this is deliberate introduction of bias to make th model match the creators' worldviews.

It would be lacking the isolation and anti-tracking stuff that Tor Browser does, so the level of anonymity that users would get would be much worse. But it seems like in your proposal the users aren't expecting to get anonymity, so they wouldn't necessarily object when they don't get it.

Many clearnet sites would be extra-confused by seeing requests that are partially Tor and partially non-Tor (with subresources being requested from different locations). But the behavior isn't necessarily invalid in any way, so maybe sites should get used to it. :-)

I think the performance hit would be pretty considerable if you think about the optimization that some sites, browsers, and CDNs have been doing. If you imagine users who choose browsers (or sites) based on perceived speed, they might not react that well to deliberately slowing down connections for privacy.

(I think your idea is interesting.)
How High Can High-Waisted Pants Go?
While some nights I do struggle to sleep, this is unusual. Most nights I can do it in under 10 seconds. This is through a combination of: 1. simulating sleep to avoid further disturbing interactions with humans. 2. active visualization of my distant, wonderful homeworld. 3. snuggling with my feline soulmate. 4. the prerequisite blood alcohol level. YMMV
I don't know that that's true; Google and Microsoft seem to have really started betting on Docker and, for better or for worse, they are big trend-setting companies, so I suspect it's more likely that one of them would purchase it and continue working on it before it just goes away.

You might overload the tor network and annoy a lot of people with the slower and more unreliable connection that asks for wayyyy more captchas.
The transaction fee hits two places. Once when money goes into the system and once when money goes out. If I spend $5/month and split it 50 ways there is no reason to pay a transaction fee on each 5cent transfer because it’s within the system.

Twitch’s bits are a great example of this system.

iPhones 8, X, XR, XS, 11 and 11 Pro have all supported wireless charging but retain the wired charging capability. I don’t think they are incredibly eager to eliminate ports if they don’t gain something from it (thinness, battery life, space for something else, or water resistance for example).

s/the fun for everyone/our business model/ ?

Once people catch on that solving these problems can lead to landing actual jobs, there's a certain kind of person who will share complete solutions, either widely or with some in-group they're in.

Once that happens, the companies you're partnering with will (okay, "might") start noticing quality issues with the candidates you're sourcing.

I don't have an answer to this problem. I don't understand the mind of the kind of person who shares interview problem solutions.
