Because the extreme opposite end of that is, no one will take the risk and invest the money to invent something if they're never going to make that money back. If I spent $1 billion creating something that costs $5 to make and someone just takes it and sells it for $6, I'm out of business. The impact of global sharing of inventions would be that expensive inventions never get made and the country with the lowest minimum wage will always come out on top.

Being enslaved by a despotic government with the world's lowest quality of life and no hope of improving your situation sounds worse for humanity than spending a little more time inventing something twice.
They show in section 4.3 that fine-tuning the last layer of ResNet-152 on half of ObjectNet (25k images) and testing on the other half increases the top-1 accuracy from 29% to 50%, while the corresponding accuracy on ImageNet is ~67%.

Nevertheless, I agree with you. Given a huge dataset with millions of of unconventional images may be enough. Who knows.

Things kind of go in cycles in machine learning (similar to other fields). There is nowadays growing dissatisfaction of having to use so much (labeled) data, and people want the models to be better "primed" to capture the variations and structures existing in the real world. Partially because labeling a lot of data is just very expensive, but partially it's also seen as inelegant and "black-boxy" or it's just not in their scientific taste.

Other people argue that learning it all from data is fine and this kind of robustness shouldn't have to be baked in to models. Rather they should/could be learned from vast amounts of unlabeled data instead (Yann LeCun seems to be in this group.), with unsupervised/self-supervised methods.

I own and live in a two family house built in 1924. It's one step up from an English row house in that you have windows on all sides. These, and New England "triple-deckers" are pretty good. In Worcester MA you could buy an 1890/1900 triple-decker for $30k in the early 90s.. if only I was smart enough to buy one then.

These are wealth generators in that renters are paying your mortgage.

My grandparents lived in a Queens NY row house (until 1970s white flight). I have early memories of it, was a cool house. It had lots of fireplaces, varnished wooden gates, wall sconces and shared back courtyard. My parents lived in a 1950s single family house, but we gen xers rediscovered cities.

New houses around Boston are mass Lego block low rise apartments. They all are corporate owned, which means they are expensive, and the rent goes up automatically, but they sometimes have nice ammenaties.

A fantastic DE experience indeed.

Just some advice: public consensus is that if you don't want the bleeding edge of KDE, Kubuntu is basically just as good (KDE over Ubuntu) and reportedly is more compatible with various hardware — so if your laptop has issues with Neon, try Kubuntu as a nearly identical alternative.

Note that you can get KDE on any major distro, e.g. Fedora, Arch. I can't recommend it enough, KDE is the dream DE — great out-of-the-box, but settings for pretty much everything, set each once and then forget it as it gets out of your way without sacrificing any feature whatsoever. There are a few minor glitches, but much less so than Gnome or MacOS or Win 10 in my anecdotal experience (notwithstanding display support, that's driver-related and whole other ballgame).

Ask HN: What is the risk of LinkedIn disabling public profiles?
So after the HiQ vs Linkedin case, its clear that scraping public data without fake accounts is legal.

What is the chance that Linkedin withdraws public profiles completely?

I'm going to build a startup that uses public profile info, so I'm concerned naturally.

Technology lawyer here! Not your lawyer, just a lawyer generally. I will preface this comment with the caveat that: (1) you can't (and shouldn't) rely on any of what I am about to say; (2) none of this constitutes legal advice; and (3) laws vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction (and I am not familiar with your specific jurisdiction).

> Anything I should do first, legally wise?

This is a tricky situation from a legal standpoint and you should contact a lawyer to get some advice for you in your personal capacity. Transferring ownership of code isn't always as simple as saying "this is now yours!". You will want to find someone who can draft an agreement to assign the rights in your code from your company to you. In some jurisdictions, if multiple people assisted in writing the code, there may be additional steps you have to take to secure your rights in the code. You mentioned that you wrote the code, but a lawyer will hopefully be able to take a look at your specific circumstances and give you some advice on what you need here.

> The company will be completely shut down, no more b-corp.
> I own < 50% of the company

You're also probably going to want to get any lawyer you hire to look at the documents that established your company (including any articles of incorporation or a partnership agreement) or your employment agreement with the company (if you have one). These documents may be important for your receipt of the rights to the code, and also for determining what your rights are with respect to the assets of the company after you wind it up.

> The problem is that I have no clue how to properly handle a sell like this.

Again, a lawyer can help with this (not to sound like a broken record) once you have a buyer lined up. You'll need to draft and negotiate an agreement to sell the code, which a lawyer can assist with.

In terms of what to look for in a lawyer, try to find someone that does commercial technology contracts and has experience selling software. Not all Intellectual Property lawyers do work with software/technology, so you will want to try to find someone in that niche area. Pricing for drafting an agreement generally scales with how customized the agreement is. Depending on your specific circumstances, you may be able to get away with relatively generic agreements, which can help keep costs down.

I've always thought that Windows Phone 8.1 (2014) as the best bit of interface design Microsoft ever created. (Windows Phone 10 was a bit of a step back in my view, but still good.)

As Android and iOS move closer towards each other in behaviour, Windows Phone shows a refreshingly different approach to mobile interface design. A shame to see it go.

Governments are not by and large incompetent, nor are they responsible for craft commonly-used electrical wiring standards. That is, in fact, written by a private organization: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Electrical_Code

Local governments (the ones in charge of zoning) adopt this because it's easier to adopt an existing standard than to try and write one's own. Any homeowner who's discovered wonky wiring done by a previous handyman will appreciate the existence of standards like this.

I was not disproving that a typical govt increases in power over time, only that "governments only ever increase power" isn't true.

There are steps forward, steps back, and then the general trend. Considering the fact that the US used to have millions of slaves (whose ownership was Constitutional and enforced law police), weaker freedom of speech, lower bars for police searches, and no FOIA, I'd suggest the general trend here since 1776 is a decreasing power of govt.
I'm curious, have you tried passing an airport border security with several of these notes, and have you been asked what they are :)? Do you have to declare them?

Go 'Noles! 80% of a college's costs are personnel. Not only are there a heckuva lot more services being offered, and the services offered are being offered more broadly, but colleges are also trying to be all things. A college that was a famous teacher's college in the 1960s now wants to have top tier science departments as well. I think when boomers like me came along the number of people going to college increased so dramatically (because a. there were so many of us and b. more people were seeing a college education as valuable) that colleges expanded.

It's interesting to consider how college costs have increased compared to other indexes:

US inflation : ~300% https://www.in2013dollars.com/us/inflation/1980

US college costs: ~300% https://www.businessinsider.com/this-chart-shows-college-tui....

US GDP per capita: ~500% https://mgmresearch.com/us-gdp-data-and-charts-1980-2020/

Keep in mind that those college and gdp graphs have inflation removed.
I'm looking at early retirement in the next year or two. I'm certainly not anywhere near as financially successful as Brin or Page or Pichai, and I doubt I've put in as much stressful work as they have, but I've done ok for myself, and I'm looking forward to doing literally anything I want with my time, without having to answer to anyone, whether it's a boss, investors, or board of directors.

I guess only time will tell how much I like this arrangement, but I'm pretty optimistic about it, and am tired of hearing the usual "oh but you'll be bored and want to work again" tropes. There's a lot more to life than work...
In a high enough crime area otherwise honest people are gonna engage in opportunistic crime because "if I don't someone will". That's also exactly the kind of place the police are gonna go fishing.

I know of more than one junk car that's been dragged out of a particular swamp (because scrap prices were high) with no attempt made to contact the rightful owner. That would get you a felony charge in my state (I'm sure a good lawyer could beat it but still). I know that that's not the same as stealing a bait car but it's pretty close.
> There are many regulations that are critical to a functioning society.

I disagree vehemently, and believe there are very few that are necessary, aside from enforcing the harm principle and a few basic functions (i.e. diplomacy & military). Rather, most people use laws to attempt to enforce upon society their visions of how it ought to look and operate (i.e. drug bans, zoning). My motivation for getting rid of _most_ regulations is ideological (I can think of no ethical justification for the state to compel, by force, a home-owner to install an outlet in his wall), and I was attempting to illustrate a practical aspect of why; I don't believe there's much "bathwater" to be thrown out that wouldn't have been provided through other means.
But it is true because all end-to-end encrypted messaging apps today have both ends being ... an app written by the service provider, which gets the public keys from ... the service provider.

Do you know WhatsApp encrypts your messages? Or do you just believe it because Facebook said so? How would you tell if the app was modified to disable it? Do you decompile and audit every binary sent to you by the Play Store? What abut the binaries your peers were sent? And what if their key directory served you a wrong key?

E2E encryption isn't useless, but I see a whole lot of technical people confused about why it's useful. Namely, it's a legal/political hack. The law says the government can make you hand over data you have. It doesn't say the government can force you to make arbitrary changes to your life or business to enable them to have whatever data they want. Obviously this would be two very different laws with very different impact: specifically, it would be a law enabling law enforcement to compel arbitrary action. Such laws are extremely rare and usually tightly limited.

But if such a law were to be passed, the technical infrastructure becomes useless. FB could just be forced to switch it off.

I’m talking about the US.

Billionaires in the US hold about 3T. https://www.stockingblue.com/article/311/net-worth-of-billio...

There are 250 million adults in the US. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demography_of_the_United_State...

That’s $12,000 per adult for a single year. That’s not enough to reach even a minimum wage full time income, let alone a livable wage. UBI is supposed to be something you can live off of. The $10k number you are citing is a joke compromise defeating most of the point of UBI.
It’s not a moral dilemma because the question being asked is of whether the returns today outweight the returns of tomorrow.
> Why do men choose to and why are they allowed to do all those things differently? The reason is gender roles, that’s part of the equal pay discussion. Probably the biggest part, in fact.

The data says otherwise. Countries that are more egalitarian and have more equal gender roles (e.g. men doing more childcare and housework) actually see lower rates of women in fields like tech as compared to places like the Middle East and Indonesia with very strict gender roles.

This also plays out internally within countries. The United States had larger rates of women in tech during the 70s and early 80s, which saw stricter gender roles as compared to today. These rates of women in tech dropped during the 90s and 2000s during which time fields like law and medicine saw substantial growth in women's representation.

Making work less gendered and making pay non-discriminatory are two different discussions. The solution to the latter is straightforward: stop discriminating.

Linux let’s users shape their environment exactly to their wishes.

Obviously then “their Linux” is something they identify with much more, because they partly built that setup themselves, for their own, personal needs only.

And because you can do that, you will also attract the kind of people who would like to do that, further amplifying the effect.

As a personal anecdote, for me, this is really the main reason I prefer Linux.

Fearmongering; this is a legal issue, not a technical one. Does anyone really think they're going to save themselves from thieves by turning off bluetooth? I hope nobody is that naive. This kind of thing also popped up when people realized that thieves could scan and replay early remote commands to unlock cars (and still can for some models!) Was the answer to not use car remotes? Maybe, but for most of us the answer was to make sure your car insurance is up to date and covers theft.

Having a car without dents or scratches is attractive. Having visible chargers in your car is attractive. What thieves will find attractive will change over time.

Get insurance, do the basic stuff you can to avoid having valuables in your car or advertising yourself as a mark, and don't worry about the rest. When the inevitable happens let your friends take you out for a drink and move on.
