Then I shall write to you directly. I don’t know how you can make the claim that automated essay grading is anything but a shockingly mendacious academic abuse of student’s time and brainpower. To me, this seems far worse than job applicant filtering, firstly because hiring is fundamentally predictive, and secondly because many jobs have a component of legitimately rigid qualifications. An essay is a tool to affect the thoughts of a human. It is not predictive of some hidden factor; it stands alone. It must be original to have value; a learned pattern of ideas is the anti-pattern for novelty. If the grading of an essay can be, in any way, assisted by an algorithm, it is probably not worth human effort to produce. If you personally use essay grading software, or know of anybody at Princeton that does, you have an absolute obligation to disclose this to all of your students and prospective applicants. They are paying for humans to help them become better humans.

How was it disproven (I see the erroneous electron mass part)? I suppose I am interested in the quantum field theory section of the wiki, which is unwritten.

It is my understanding EM is more or less directly relatable to more fundamental forces (or rather derived from it) so even being able to fit EM in it means that the others must fit.
Both the west and China omit information when reporting about HK. China highlights protester violence, the west talk about police. The only difference is that west is doing it voluntarily.

If you step back and think about it, if this protest were to happen in the US, with subways burned, shops destroyed, road blocked, for 6 months. What is going to happen? Compare this hypothetical scenario with what happened in Hong Kong.

Where’s the gap? In 2019 we’ve been accustomed to export thinking to other people and import outrage from the cheapest source. And it doesn’t take a dictatorial government to push a narrative.

Do you really mean indie, not freelancer? How much an indie developer earns is probably extremely variable, and is largely down to luck and other soft factors that are hard to control, such as marketing savvy, timing, what app you’re making etc.
there is no such scenario because manufacturing would not have stayed. As explained in my original post, automation constitutes the bulk of replacement of manufacturing jobs. If every single manufacturing job from China came back to the United States we would be talking about a low single digit percentage number of the american workforce.

The technical feasibility of soul extraction and storage isn't really the problem. It's the act of selling it that's the problem. I mean, we don't 'extract' and 'store' land/real estate, but we do buy and sell it. You can have a claim to land and not need to move it to your warehouse.

Just a title/deed system for souls would suffice. Since there's not a legal framework around the ownership of souls, I'm sure we could encourage its creation by starting a marketplace. Ultimately, however, I suspect 'soul' will finally be defined as "existing, being, with current human perceptions of free will" or somesuch and we will no longer have the ability to sell our souls for the licensing benefits of a product or service.
If that happens, Europeans win.

Im not clear what security advantage is offered to anyone by the oligopoly that is mobile app stores right now. To me it actually suggests iOS must be incredibly insecure if their security is so reliant on the Apple approval system. Can you even imagine where node.js would be if only microsoft could approve modules?
This community consistently poo-poos MBAs and business people who, it says, don't contribute and just shuffle paper or find ways to lay people off.

I felt that way when I started my first company, finishing my physics degree. I figured, I helped launch a satellite, I can do what we needed. A couple patents later, we got our first funding and I knew how to solve what problems came our way. I could break down any problem into simple parts, each of which I could solve, for example.

I was blindsided when we went into a recession and my company neared bankruptcy. Years later I realized the importance of teamwork and leadership based in social and emotional skills, especially in difficult times. Difficult times always happen.

The investors squeezed me out of that company. It didn't have to be that way. I went back for an MBA and learned you could learn leadership skills, though I also found that the way they taught them wasn't as effective as active, experiential, project-based learning. I spent the dozen years since refining how to teach them effectively, consistently hearing from my NYU students and coaching clients, including senior executives, that they never knew they could learn skills like how to inspire people, to speak authentically, to find mentors, and so on, let alone in a structured class http://joshuaspodek.com/this-is-one-of-the-greatest-classes-....

I wish I had learned this stuff before I needed it instead of after. I made my courses available in book form http://joshuaspodek.com/initiative and http://joshuaspodek.com/leadership-step-by-step. Whether from my resources or others', these skills can be learned, they are valuable, and you learn them, like any skills, through practice. You have to practice.

Incidentally, the skills improved my relationships throughout life besides business too -- family, friends, girlfriends, etc.
The lesson is you can't compare just the language parts of the setup without taking a holistic perspective. just PHP is not sufficient to make a 'hello world' page, you need an entire web server in the form of apache too

> Voting 3rd party exercises your right to say you don't like either of the other 2 candidates

You can say whatever you want, but no one is listening. Voter turnout is so low that the signal of voting 3rd-party is completely lost in the noise of passive non-voting. 3rd-party votes might feel good, but pragmatically (and what is voting except a pragmatic attempt to advance your preferred policy), they are useless.

I encourage everyone on this comment chain to read Clay Shirky's "There is no such thing as a protest vote" [0], and really take it seriously, instead of jumping to thought-terminating cliches by angrily denouncing him as a sheep or whatever. He's right.

>In a nutshell, you inspire me when something that you share makes me want to share something, too. Notice the word "want" in that definition. Inspiration does not make your partner feel obligated to share. It makes them want to share.

This is the part that I've been stuck at for years. And I imagine other technical people hit this roadblock as well. Being able to talk with people when you have little in the way of common interests is a skill in and of its itself. Finding intimate relationships becomes particularly difficult when you can't achieve the inspiration since most young women aren't exactly excited to talk about code, or tech, or any of the things HN types tend to dedicate our lives to.

I don't think any of these self help references can really solve this problem, short of advising one to be "more open", which really means force interest in uninteresting topics.

The primary reason for the single Apple supported AppStore is platform control and by that I mean they can control quality, security, content (remember Steve Jobs said he wasn't making a product for people to stream PORN on) and the type of apps that are permitted. This is a big part of the brand.
>No numpad is an ergonomic benefit.

Except I can type numbers a lot faster and more accurately with a numpad. Something I do regularly throughout my day. The enter key is also a quick thumb press with the mouse hand away when I'm using my left hand for commands. I almost never have to use the mouse while typing numbers. It makes sense to me to have a quick one handed way next to the mouse to type numbers. It feels a lot more ergonomic that way then using both my hands to type numbers spread out across a line at the top of the keyboard.
A Weakened Black Hole Allows Its Galaxy to Awaken
No you are right! I know a lot of people who, when they get a gun or a knife, get all bright eyed and bushy tailed. Harboring childish fantasies of getting into a fight and coming out the hero like in the movies. I should have emphasized the point that if you go looking for such a fight you are very likely going to end up in prison.

A better thing to say before giving such advice about home defense would be to preface it with: "In a home invasion it is always better to take your family and hole up while waiting for the police rather than trying to confront the burglar."

Maybe I should just avoid commenting!
Yes we should study the trade-offs. But that calculus should also include the fact that most people genuinely enjoy going out and getting drunk with their friends.

Yet rarely if ever does that term ever into the equation. I'm not saying it necessarily outweighs the public health costs. But a truly fair accounting of all the trade-offs should take the hedonic benefits into account.

Google Voice and the NiN album were both reinstated without change after succumbing to public pressure. Google actually went to the FTC where Apple claimed they didn't reject their app!

The choice of character for the BOM isn't weird or random - it's a zero-width no-break space, which means it's supposed to be invisible even when your software is capable of displaying it. If you remove whitespace from the beginning and end of your keys you'll be fine.

It seems arbitrary, but I don't think they could have made a better choice.

When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you.

How to Create Wealth
> Apple doesn't care if your account is reinstated.

But that's the problem. These people who don't agree with the rules? They have the capacity to vote, to not develop applications for the App Store, not buy them from others and publish accounts to try to move public opinion and encourage others to do the same. That's what they're doing right now.

You're saying if they don't like the rules they should do what? Shut up and do nothing? That doesn't effect change. So instead they raise Cain and do what they can to put pressure on Apple and their reputation in order to bring about a change in policy.

Telling dissenters to eat sand because their opponent is bigger than them is not going to convince anybody that Apple is right. It does more to convince people that Apple is problematic.
The 4th amendment guarantees protection against unreasonable search and seizure by the government.

or just look at who spends the most on ads and i think you'll see that those who are able to calculate their ROI, aren't the ones at the top of the ad spending pile.
Perhaps the poster above meant 4x SDE?
Also important to mention... serving ads without consent is not ilegal under GDPR, what is illegal is user profiling with the purpose of serving ads.

In practice for Facebook the attraction for their ads platform is precisely that you can target fine grained demographics. So I'm not sure if Facebook can do anything here without a drop in revenue.
I would have an easier time caring if this person cared at all about all the human rights abuses and war crimes the USA continues to commit. When there are protests on Chile of equal size and coup in Bolivia, it’s telling he only focuses on China.
The context here is obviously PC/console gamers. No one is clamouring for Candy Crush to be brought to Stadia. There may be overlap, but the mediums are completely different.
If generic ads can't fund FB, that's FB's problem.

FB does not have some sort of right-to-exist. Beyond that, if FB goes out of business completely, the world is arguably improved.
It’s weird to see this whole thread jumping to Apple’s defense because “he broke the rules.” Feels hilariously similar to the human centipede episode of South Park.

The fact that this company can rip away his work and livelihood because he’s clever enough to find clues in their betas is crazy. Everyone here acting like it’s ok because the world’s richest company has a team of lawyers building the justification are even crazier. Especially when this community eats up his leaks and reporting, it’s sad to see everyone turn their backs on this dude.
Unfortunately, the official internal policy seems to be to shut down accounts and then if someone turns out to be well connected or is able to get some press coverage, then they get unblocked. So senators will never need to worry.

> It's also easy to underestimate the difficulty in mundane technologies. Take bread for instance; this is how you make bread: Grow a grass (cereal crop). Separate the seeds, dry them, and then shell them to get your grains. Now grind it into flour, and then mix it with water, fat, and salt. Let it sit out to grow a yeast infection. Stick it in a fire, and then you get bread. Compare this to typical metalworking: Find the appropriate ore. Stick it in a fire. Depending on the metal, let it melt completely and pour it into a sand cast, or get it red-hot and then bang on it with a hammer.

Your example doesn't support your point. You're simply going into more detail on the baking process than the smithing process. In particular, none of these things are trivial:

* finding the right ore (generally depends on trade and specialization)

* making a fire hot enough to melt metal

* making a sand cast

* alloying the metal

* rooting out impurities such that the finished artifact is useful

* the technical processes of casting and forging
One option is an envelope keys.

Content is encrypted and published by the owner, but the owner uses a new random key to do the encryption. This new random key is the "envelope key."

The owner then takes the envelope key, encrypts it with the public key of recipient A, and publishes the encrypted message containing the envelope key. (This message with the envelope key should also be signed by the owner using the owner's private key.)

Anyone who obtains the envelope key effectively has read-only access to the content. The owner can publish a separate message with the envelope key, all these messages have recipient B, C, and D's different public keys, so if you are a recipient you will want to know which message is likely to be encrypted by your public key, after which you can decrypt it to get the envelope key.

The owner also needs to sign the content. Signing the content and later verifying the content is done with the owner's public/private keypair, not the envelope key.

A glaring weakness of envelope keys is that the recipient can share the content freely once they have it. There's no content protection after the content and the envelope key are published.

The recipient can easily just share the envelope key if they want to. But they can also just copy the content (once they have decrypted it).
we could switch to VK. try it, it's fast, and has a ton of pirated movies.

> I strongly support some government action to change the current state of affairs with regards to the App Store being the only way to get apps on iOS.

I couldn't disagree more. IMO governments should be kept separate from business matters as long as those businesses don't pose a threat to the nation. Otherwise, it'd be against the freedom of individuals and companies to involve government agencies into the matter.
As an EU citizen I believe it's time we close Facebook off. They've shown no willingness to abide by our law so I don't see why a criminal entity should be allowed to continue operating here.

Whichever European social network replaces them.

Facebook is a freak social network considering how long it has survived. People used to migrate every one to two years.
There has been a big "software defined networking" bandwagon but it's been confined to inside data centers.
>That at least would be constructive.

Starting with the western values as endpoint for reform is not constructive but "transparently propagandist". Different countries apply different models at different points in development - "rule of law and respect human rights - is simply not a priority for China or many developing nations, where the moral calculus is better spent on attaining other freedoms, chiefly the freedom from want.

> casual dismissal of "cultural genocide" and whataboutism

The point is cultural genocide is something that gets pragmatically dismissed everyday in the interest of geopolitics. Just like how people like to causally assert "whataboutism" whenever the brazenly obvious is pointed out: China gets away with abuses and will continue to because America led the way. If Americans want human rights to apply to large countries, start at home and demonstrate that international rule of law applies to everyone. No one takes hypocrites seriously except hypocrites themselves.
