"I get that you #define cybersquatting in a way"

This is such a self-defeating effort, but I don't define it that way, most everyone does. Because the root -- squatting -- refers to occupying someone else's property. This isn't a point in debate -- a quick search verifies that every single authoritative source seemingly in existence is in agreement with me.

"And even with physical property, it is possible to seize underutilized land in the name of public good."

That is an extraordinary action that happens incredibly rarely and is extremely contentious. It does happen, but it's certainly not comparable with "I got an idea and I want that domain".

And let's be real here -- those domain resellers usually sell the domains they are "squatting" [sic] on for an absolute _pittance_. If a couple hundred dollars is what ruins some great startup plan, I'm going to go on a limb and say it wasn't such a great startup plan.

Indeed, what most people want is to say "Hey that's unfair that he's parked on that! Let ME park on that and sit on it indefinitely because I've got a Great Idea that I'm going to get around eventually". That's what 99% of the parked domains already are.

There are huge differences in extra pair paternity across cultures and social class. People are not the same everywhere.

A Historical-Genetic Reconstruction of Human Extra-Pair Paternity

Specifically, we observe that estimated EPP rates among married couples varied by more than an order of magnitude, from 0.4% to 5.9%, and peaked among families with a low socioeconomic background living in densely populated cities of the late 19th century. Our results support theoretical predictions that social context can strongly affect the outcomes of sexual conflict in human populations by modulating the incentives and opportunities for engaging in extra-pair relationships.

Sorry, I don't understand how someone's choice of profession reflects on their ability to be a good tenant. Definitely not a reasonable excuse for snooping on someone's supposed Internet history. This is what leads to first come first serve regulations for rental applications.
Only Belarus from your list didn't "liberalize" its economy and retained central planning.
The world is bigger than the US.
Because you want to push homosexuality on people, so you want to show how "normal" it is. You're an obedient shill.
My guess: not going to happen. The vast majority of people in Belarus oppose a state union with Russia. Also the president (Lukaschenko) has nothing to gain from this. Surprisingly he has been very hesitant to give in to various Russian demands, openly criticizing Putin at world stages and in the media.
> Personally, I don't trust the government to do food regulation (FDA is reactionary and IMO corruptible), social safety net (Social Security has serious issues), and defense (our military seems to be used more for offense, not defense).

I accept your argument, but most people against net regulation generally have good opinions on food regulation agencies and the social safety net, so while you seem consistent, I have a feeling a lot of people aren't in this matter. I suspect the case is even greater for European countries, which do food regulation and social safety better than the US in many ways.

Either way, it would follow that a government which does those things right could, in principle, regulate the net. I think the case is stronger when one considers that everyone except anarchists accepts the rule of law, and the democratic decision process to arrive to the law. I think it's very reasonable to say that there are government institutions that are run well, and those institutions have greater consequences than the regulation of the net.

The real target of my criticism was the fact that people tend to engage in special pleading when it comes to regulating the net, or regulating speech, without much reason for it. Brison has argued that there is no meaningful metaphysical difference between what we class as "speech" and "action".
No, I'm talking about the literal definition everywhere. Not in some abstract textbook.

"the US legal term defined by ACPA is "cybersquatting," not "domain squatting."

Okay? What is the point of this? The key is the term squatting -- illegally occupying property that is not your own. Calling completely legal, completely compliant ownership of something squatting because you personally don't like it is...well...it's nonsense. It's the dumbing down of terminology.
Why exactly is TLA+ better suited to thinking about system design compared to say mCRL2, SCADE, or Simulink? Especially relative to the latter two since they provide a paved road to going from your system model to your system implementation, which TLA+ makes no attempt to do.
Not everybody is taking cuts to their valuation :) Choose wisely!
The problem of allocating scarce resources is hardly unique to domain names. Here are some ways of doing it:

- Let the market set the price.

- Recurring fee for holding it to discourage unproductive speculation.

- An authority decides who deserves it and gives and takes according to their rules.

The 3rd option is particularly nasty. Usually, it's very hard and is what communists hope to do on a broader scale. It would certainly result in seizures whenever the authority decided somebody isn't fully utilizing their domain name. Maybe you spent too long setting up your business and right before launch, you get branded a squatter and your domain is taken after you've already used it in all your marketing material, registered a corresponding trademark, and everything. You might imagine the authority would be fair and not kick out a genuine owner like that, but it's unlikely to have the resources or incentive to investigate every case properly.
That is BS.

If pseudo-anonymous user profiles are linked to others with the sole purpose in order disclose user's real identity (legal name) or email address on another site, that's de-anonymization. That project's main purpose is to disclose various private information.

Georgism for the Internet!

Google, Facebook, Amazon all had idea how to make profit and especially how they build a moat against competition.

Uber still has not figured out how to be profitable once things settle.
At the basic level it's just an app matching drivers and customers. They have little moat against other apps and conventional taxi companies adopting similar apps when price competition becomes brutal. Uber has externalized car maintenance etc to individual drivers. Taxi companies can manage their fleets more economically.
I think that says more about web tech than the Raspberry Pi.

> When Adelene was born, and Brenda stopped working for a brief season to stay home with her, they realized that their financial footing was less secure than it had seemed. So they were grateful to accept an offer from Candido’s mom to come stay with her. She had extra space, the location was more convenient, and, crucially, they would have help with child care.

> There was one catch. Owned and operated by the Housing Authority of the County of Monterey, the complex had strict rules governing who could reside in its units — and since the apartment was in Candido’s mother’s name, her children and grandchildren were barred from living there. The building’s sympathetic manager, however, assured them that it would be fine; with a yearslong waiting list to even enter the lottery for these subsidized rentals, they certainly weren’t the only ones, he said, who’d be living “off-lease.” Everything went well for about a year. But then a neighbor threatened to report the family. She’d started photographing the kids as they left and reentered the apartment each day, and the manager had no choice but to tell them to go elsewhere. “We were totally scared and shocked,” Brenda said, “and we knew that we needed to get out right away. If not, Candido’s mom might have been evicted, too.”

What heartless NIMBY does this? I am just shocked and appalled at the cruelty of this neighbor - it's impossible that she wasn't aware of the housing crisis in the area.
With physical property, we have adverse possession...
There's no reasonable way to opt out of information that's already out there. Connecting the dots is power that powerful people already have; this is democratizing that power.
Yes, sorry, those are benchmarks for python web frameworks making db queries. All the top performers are async frameworks.
I'd argue that a "buy this domain! offers start at $1500" parking page and no e-mail or other DNS records set up, over years, is a pretty good indicator you're not actually using a domain.
OpenAI hype is definitely exaggerated. Seems like there might be a connection with Elon Musk somehow because all of his projects seem to get a massive amount of hype also.

The radiology thing, is it really the case that there are no startups in that area with useful AI software? Seems like he overstated that.

Part of this is a worldview difference. Many people truly believe that AGI is just around the corner, and that even before then, the narrow AI applications will significantly alter the world as they are deployed. And since no one can actually predict the future, it's an area where it's easy to have different worldviews.

Personally I think that it's true that there is a lot of poor reporting and companies that overhype results, but it also seems like people like Gary Marcus are really not keeping up to date with the true capabilities of DL systems. If he was up to date, why would he be so pessimistic about applications like radiology? There seem to already be a lot of strong results.
Agreed. Many government workers and state company employees in Belarus receive different forms on non-monetary compensation. Subsidized apartments etc., although these benefits things are slowly going away.
typically the actual papers are reasonably honest about everything and the misinformation comes in elsewhere, often university press releases summarizing the results.

Well, you're considering the alternative for locating that car, but why is that the correct comparison rather than the alternative for using that (moving) spot on the highways? Looking at the latter, maybe that business is providing more to society than other drivers in the same area.

Semi-offtopic, but does anyone know how to upgrade between raspbian versions? Clearly it's not a rolling release model, but I don't think Ubuntu's do-release-upgrade works.

Why this when applications like Telegram, Signal, etc. already exist? That ship has sailed…
I referred purely to the incorrect use of the term squatting. They aren't squatting.

Further, nowhere did I say that it was "harmless", or pass any value judgment at all on it. I just said that it's not squatting (cyber, domain, or any other prefix). Those people pay the same domain fees as anyone else.

"I do think they should disincentivize this holding behavior with some kind of property tax"

They are paying the same domain fees as everyone else. However let's imagine that they change it to charging some sort of "how lucrative is the domain name" property tax, like Google hilariously tried to do with some of their failed TLDs: We're currently talking about parked domains that cost an absolutely negligible amount...I imagine a lucrative fee would be a bit more disliked by these imaginary startups ready to fill all the good domains.

Sidenote - there was a rush to .io, .ly and other TLDs -- against all reasonable caution -- because people thought they were cool and new, not because they were their last resort

They're not even competing with each other. How would you compare an ES to a deep neural network? According to what benchmark? What do you mean by verifiable? Modern success stories with machine learning often deal with problems (NLP, vision, RL) that have little to do with the problems that were being solved by expert systems.

Also, an hypothesis: if (big if) you somehow managed to have an expert system outperform deep learning for vision, I bet that it won't be any more verifiable than a deep neural net is today.

To me the complaint that modern deep learning is unverifiable is a bit dumb, in the sense that any perception algorithm working with low level signals (vision, sound) will not be transparent to a human. 15 years ago, an image classification pipeline looked like: bag of SIFT features + SVM classifier. Try explaining the decision made by that algorithm in an intuitive way!
AI is more of a datacenter technology. People already use it (siri,alexa,google search) and they apparently like it already. It was easy to see that any VR headset is bulky and agonizing, but those new services work fine. Sure, however the "not hot dog" apps are going to be disappointing

Some people love it. I had an uncle who was like that with his coworkers in construction; constantly teasing and criticising (and coworkers giving the same right back). Many people would think they were fighting, but they were the best of friends and enjoyed the repartee.

Some might call it toxic, and it wouldn't be allowed in a corporate environment today, but clearly no environment will please everyone. For them, it was good.
The uncertainty principle shouldn't be regarded as the fact that you cannot exactly and simultaneously know both the position and momentum of a particle. It should be regarded as the fact that such a concept doesn't even make sense, the same way that the concept of "instantaneous spectral content" of a signal doesn't even make sense.
I work for a company that uses bare metal, open stack, azure, AWS, and GCE.

GCE perf is significantly better (and more consistent) than Azure. Even with Windows instances. :/

But I agree that “cloud is slow” when compared to bare metal- it’s also most financially costly especially for the same performance due to it being slower. But the gains in flexibility are immeasurable.

FWIW there’s a footnote at the end of the article mentioning the print title of the article: “Boy, Disconnected”.
Since Russia is subsidizing Belarus, they can start tightening the screws on Lukaschenko politically any time they want.

Belarus is just one military exercise away from Russians taking over. Every time these countries have a big joint military exercise in Belarus there is possibility that Russian troops might not leave when the exercise is over.
Regulating a market is entirely different than regulating a right that preordains the existence of a nation state at all. We have the right to speech coded in law because it is meant to keep the state at bay - it isn’t given to us by the state, it exists apriori.
Fantastic tutotial! Thank you! Will save me loads of time :)
People make similar comments a lot, but something sounds off to me about this sort of summary.

We haven't been gradually moving towards this quasi-religious situation, as evidenced by past polling, which I linked to. It's just this administration.

So I think the evidence suggests that something about the current president is fundamentally different, maybe that he is for most people a symbol or placeholder and not a person.

Although, looking again at the polls from 2008-16, it might be that the current situation is something that happened gradually during that time period, and 2016 was not really a discontinuity.

Edit:
Also, my point was it doesn't seem like he's changed people's minds. Being a religious leader may or may not mean you converted people.
I think a few people, including myself somehow read too much into your comment. Actually, it sounds kind of positive now. If shortage of .com domains has pushed the "cool" websites to others, that naturally increases the supply of the preferred TLDs. Except of course your point about governance. There have been problems with some weird trendy TLD like .io, haven't there?
I've seen cheap contracts where SMS is unlimited, but never anything with unlimited MMS (Netherlands).

A more cynical take:

The scope of this project was ambitious when it was launched, eighteen years ago. Today, it's abundantly clear that it was too ambitious (and/or the project was poorly managed); they still don't have anything usable, whereas other projects like Tor and I2P have produced usable tools in much less time.

I mean, you extend a DL system by giving it examples. Yes, in fact by harvesting example or annotation data you can extend models many magnitudes faster and more comprehensively than through manual analysis. Effectively the analysis is done automatically. At this point, what comes out it is usually poorly factored and entangled and not human-parseable, but that doesn't prevent it from being applied effectively to a range of narrow tasks that expert systems cannot approach.

We do still rely on expert systems for things that we want to be carefully parsed, verified and analyzed by people though. Such as rules that oversee most self-driving cars based on perception handled by neural networks. However, not all self-driving systems lean as heavily on rules at the top level as others.

Indeed, the very concept of asset ownership exists only by virtue of social recognition. We make up the rules that define ownership/property/wealth/etc, they are not handed down by God, and we could just as well define/design them differently (as your example of a wealth cap astutely illustrates).
When you put it that way, authenticity sounds like a terrible idea. But I don’t think authenticity needs to be defined in opposition to professionalism.
