I’ve lived in China, France, the UK, Canada, and the US.

I can tell you that having no free healthcare, no help for people who don’t seem to manage, and blaming mental illness seem to be causes for homelessness.

Think as homelessness of just a symptom of deeper issues. If you try to treat the symptoms you’re not going to get far.
The recommendation systems (i.e. Netflix) for movies and music are still just awful in terms of guessing my tastes.

I still find that human based recommendations for things like music and movies consistently beat the algorithm at predicting what I'll like vs what I won't like just about every time.

IMHO it will be many years before these recommendation engines consistently pick media I like to watch or listen to.

They are still far inferior to human based recommendations.

Guessing what someone will want to watch at any given moment is probably a harder problem than getting a car to drive autonomously.

EDIT (source): I work on a mostly human powered recommendation engine/expert system @ lazyday.tv. It does not use ML to make recommendations. It takes some creative approaches to solving the movie recommendation problem using an expert system and optimizing search results.
What choice are they ignoring? These cities actually spend a lot on the homeless. The problem is that the better you make things for the homeless, the more you'll be an attractive place for homeless to come to.
No problem! I went to the wikipedia article you linked and didn't see any mention of the video rental records, so I got curious and tried to look it up and couldn't find anything until I looked up the privacy act, which led me to Bork. That was the only reason I was curious how the two were mistaken as I am not knowledgeable in the slightest about these things. I just like to trek down the rabbit holes others provide and try to pay it forward with any corrections I stumble upon.

So thanks for the rabbit hole!

> Why is it that a minority of math is done with proof systems (i.e. yielding automatically checkable artifacts)?

Because most interesting math depends on a lot of other math, and formalizing all of these pre-requirements is a significant burden. The math subfields where this is less of a problem (so-called 'synthetic' mathematics) are also where formalization is being used the most.

This is a scare story and nothing more.
So why isn't there a market for open source TVs? Wouldn't that make sense?

Or is it a similar story to printers?
We should focus on making it easier to re-establish a foothold on society.

Except these are expensive TVs and not "free".
Yes, this is the section.

The Smart TV has many inputs, including PC input (if you connect with your computer), Camera input (to watch the photos you took with your camera), Chromecast streaming from your phone.

The wording in this section syas that any of these are fair play to be sent over to the manufacturer for recognition purposes.
I agree that formal verification can create more work to write programs, but you get a lot more time back in debugging and readability
looking for a mentor, what are your areas of expertise?
Backups. Either in backuping the data, or in enabling several tokens for the same service.

The problem is that the first one is frowned upon for good reasons (but maybe not as good as they seem), while nobody supports the second one. So, yes, currently depending on hardware keys is dangerous.
This comment is 100% correct. Media selection bias is real, and the international focus drawn upon a couple incidents of rape a few years ago was disproportionate for lone anecdotes, which is what makes the bias against India in western media apparent. Per https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_in_India

> India has been characterised as one of the "countries with the lowest per capita rates of rape".

I hope someone shows you empathy when you're down on your luck.

Yours is an incredibly privileged, yet disturbingly common viewpoint, especially on HN. I am SO sorry that those stinky homeless people are ruining your neighborhood. That must be really hard for you. Shame on you.
An example of a typical technique Russian trolls use in discussions. Funny to observe one here on HN.

Small world. I'm writing a roguelike in Clojure and indeed use maps for everything. Datascript seemed promising, but it is hard to beat Clojure's builtin data selection functions.

(I also think that those who use mailing lists should just use NNTP instead, possibly having NNTP as an alternative interface to the same data.)
Possibly but it largely depends on how the torque is routed to the wheels that share a motor. It also wouldn’t likely be as repeatable and precise as this.
> So if I buy something from a Saudi Arabian e-commerce site am I at risk for extradition from Ireland to Saudi Arabia for the capital offense of being gay?

Probably not, because that's not within the scope of what Ireland would be willing to extradite for.

But that's a question of Saudi Arabia’s practical ability to bring you to trial, not one of whether or not any law they have would apply to you on principle.

In your first example, if invokeFunction() returns 0, the text "0" will be inserted into the page. 0 is falsey, so `0 && <p>Hi</p>` evaluates to 0, but 0 is a number so React pastes it into the page contents.

Montag awakens ill the next morning. Mildred tries to care for her husband but finds herself more involved in the "parlor wall" entertainment in the living room – large televisions filling the walls.

Beatty recounts the history of how books lost their value and how the firemen were adapted for their current role: over the course of several decades, people began to embrace new media (in this case, film and television), sports, and an ever-quickening pace of life.
There are recent works that question whether "deep" learning algorithms, and in particular neural networks, are really advancing the state of the art of recommender systems: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1907.06902.pdf (Best Paper Award, RecSys 2019). It is strange that the blog post fails to mention this.
>what happens if iot LTE connections get cheap enough that the choice is removed altogether.

Narrowband IoT is the target market for that. T-Mobile has a plan where a certified module costs $5 (There is a min order to get that price, but for a large vendor that's not going to be an issue) then $6 p/year as long as you can keep below 12MB per year. But you can keep bw down by shipping the fingerprinting software with the TV and only sampling a small section of the screen (Other TV Vendors have done done this in the past too) and create the matching fingerprints in your server farm (So no need to send a full screenshot to fingerprint the show.

The question is then would $25 added to the BOM cost per device be worth it to the manufacturer (Cost of the module plus 3 years of NB-IoT coverage). Though you could reduce that by getting a custom deal with the carrier where you only pay for data if you actually activate it, then only activate the module if the TV has been in use for X hours without phoning home using the customers own connection.

From a cost perceptive I think we are pretty much already there.

Some things cost the same nationwide, for example the MSRP of a new truck. A college degree means higher income and certain higher expenses (e.g, housing), but not others. Your college debt balance is the same regardless if you earn $70,000 in an entry level Software Engineering job in Philadelphia or $120,000 in SFBA. That creates room for some arbitrage and wealth building.
have you looked into commercial variants? you can get dumb display panels geared toward that use, I'm sure the same is true for fridges, dishwashers, ovens. Aesthetics may be an issue.

Firefox for Android prevents such attempts by default. That, plus uBlock Origin with its integrated element picker to permanently block elements make reddit bearable.
The key would be that all US cities/towns/villages take care of their homeless instead of busing them to California. I can see the financial incentive - a bus ticket is like, what, couple hundred tops across the country? while the police, healthcare and other resources in a single year can easily reach five to six figures - but morally it is absolutely disgusting behavior.

Ideally federal agencies should take care of this and make sure that every US citizen in need is taken care of where he lives.
StackExchange offers 'possible reinstatement' to moderator removed over pronouns
Reasonable question. I can see how my comment comes across as me giving people a hard time but that was not the intention.

Working hard is probably step 1 on the road to enmeshment. Just wanted to put forward the opinion that most things worth doing require insane levels of hard work to succeed at. They will become part of your identity. That's not a bad thing.

> having Proposal F be above them all

But Proposal F is very clearly NOT above them all. 207 people preferred B over F, while only 185 people preferred F over B.

If F were above them all, it would be the Condorcet winner and hence would have necessarily won according to the Schulze method, which it didn't.

B actually is the Condorcet winner, as it would beat every single other option in a one-to-one contest. (The fact that B is the winner according to the Schulze method doesn't necessarily imply that it is the Condorcet winner, as there might not be a Condorcet winner.)

F being the "most voted option" is a misleading and mostly vacuous statement. All that can be said is that more people preferred F to "further discussion" (303 vs. 110), than preferred any other option to "further discussion". In particular, only 299 vs. 111 preferred B to "further discussion". However that has no bearing whatsoever on whether people preferred F over B.

(My theory for why B didn't beat "further discussion" by quite such a large margin as F did, is that in the case of B both the only-systemd "extremists" and the anti-systemd "extremists" preferred "further discussion" to B, while in the case of F only the anti-systemd "extremists" preferred "further discussion" to F.)
This seems demonstrably untrue. If it were that easy it wouldn't be such a pervasive issue across every society. It is crazy to me to see SF of all places accused of being unwilling to raise taxes

The answer to connected TVs is commercial display. These are "dumb TVs" that you've seen 10K times at airports manufactured by the usual suspects such as Sony, NEC, LG, and yes - even Samsung. They are offered in 4K, have plenty of ports, and are price competitive to smart TVs

Raising taxes is not going to increase the supply of housing.
As a teenager, I used to skateboard a decent amount. Sometimes businesses would put juts on rails, or little lips on things - stuff like that to keep kids from skating on their property.

It didn't stop us from skating, obviously; we just found somewhere else to skate. Often on the same property. More malicious peers of mine would do things like grind down the rail until it was smooth.

I think about that a lot when I hear about stories like this. We were just kids doing stuff for fun, not people fighting for survival.
People aren't allowed to drink or even smoke now till 21. Seems logical. So why do we expect a 17 year old to have the financial knowledge and understanding to take out a loan that could buy a house in a not so cheap city? With zero education about finances (they are not generally taught in schools). The availability and government guarantees of such loans are hurting everyone except these schools that are making bank while offering education of highly questionable quality.
I did that the years before: using a static site generator. The goal is to explore new technologies so I can decide what to use at work. I spent quite some time on the router aspect here, which I know now more of, that I can use during the work year (where I won't have time to explore this.)
I think it's actually quite the opposite. If you need a truck for its utility which one makes more sense? The Cybertruck is less expensive, has more range, bigger payload, higher towing capacity, access to the best charging network in the world. Why would you buy a Rivian instead? The only reason I can think of is that it looks more conventional. If you need a truck, you buy the Tesla. If you want a lifestyle truck that looks pretty, you buy the Rivian.
Is it? You either you need some kind of server side JavaScript rendering (pita to get right imo) or you need to create a complete copy of the website that’s statically rendered (and replaced if the user has JS enabled?)

While it is possible to use ES as your primary store, doesn’t mean it is a great use-case. Pushing ES to durability takes resources (people, time, compute) and rigor.

For a blog site this feels like overkill. Your priorities are durable low-freq writes, and more freq-reads. Hands-free day-to-day maintenance, and simple recovery mode such as restore. Caching (and optionally queuing) can absolve sins of many topologies to fulfill these requirements.

ES brings a much larger surface area than just store blobs and metadata. Big tax to gain free-text search - which while interesting most users will almost certainly never use (thank Google for that)

Focus on a cheaper, lighter, database engine that is durable, checkpoints regularly, and has simple, testable backup/restore processes. Ship the backups somewhere e.g. S3
Price is determined by what people will pay, not by the cost to produce something. This is driven by supply and demand, while complexity can reduce the available supply it is not the only factor and for many products it’s not even close to the dominant one.

As well complexity in design doesn’t absolutely correlate to manufacturing costs. Usually that’s dominated by labor, and extremely complex systems are designed to be made with less labor.
Interesting. Rather than restricting what is sent could one just spam them with garbage so they can't distinguish what's real from what's fake?
There’s also the problem where inferring the types is not decidable, so we either get slow tooling/builds or an onerous development cycle of specifying everything. The latter would be unbearable when you consider how weird and annoying things relate to one another in large, enterprisey systems.
That is impressive. I was unaware. Thanks for sharing.

$1M, or $40k annually. My rent is about half of my expenses, but I could downsize to a cheaper place and allocate the freed money for travel and leisure. I don't think I'll stop working once I reach $1M. I'd be more open to alternative work arrangements (e.g., temp contracting gigs) closer to $1.5M, to build in wiggle room. Some costs I haven't accounted for (currently subsidized by my employer), like health care, make me feel the "real" FI number is closer $2M as expenses will likely rise with age.
Practically, a Smart TV is an oversize mobile phone that you use in landscape mode.

In that respect, all ad-supported revenue for a phone is extended to the smart TVs.
This realisation almost made me somewhat pessimistic about the fate of democracy.

Leaders always have to do the bidding of their citizens to some extent - if they cross the line too far, the citizens might overthrow them violently. They have incentive to respect democracy, because that will allow them to avoid physical violence when the citizens want to get rid of them.

The flip side of that would be that this means that there's an equilibrium to be found, i.e. the point where citizens are not dissatisfied enough (but as close as possible to it) to revolt, or are not powerful enough to. In other words, we're getting less and less democratic in search of that equilibrium.
Are you saying that this is different from mixins?
"I graduated from Boston College in 2011 with a degree in Political Science and began a second BA from Columbia several years later."

Agreed, and I was highlighting how post-acquisition they moved away from the core functionality and started stuffing other apps into it in a pretty predictable fashion.

But you said you would rather pay twice as much for healthcare if it avoids that money would also be spent to help others. Sounds to me like you'd be paying extra so others don't receive it.

I'm probably misunderstanding something you said here, because even accounting for that profound ideological difference, that still seems really weird.

And speaking of that, well first let me deny that I think individuals are without value on their own. Indeed I am apparently much more of a collectivist person; but it is because I believe in every individual's value that we all should take care of each other, in order for that value to prosper. What I meant was, without a society, you are just some weirdo without a bank account, knocking on a doctor's door, twice. Which was probably a bit hyperbolic.

I was going to argue my side of this ideological divide, but I should really be spending my energy elsewhere (what I had half-written was getting way too long) ... so I'm gonna leave it at that.

Also taking the cost into account, it’s much more reasonable hiring 10 content curators dishing out 10 lists a day, as opposed to using a team of experts creating ML models.
This is something very new (a few weeks) and still a work in progress, it's nowhere near complete. It's going to be a “way of doing things” instead of a full-on framework, but at the same time, we could use more examples on how to exactly do what it prescribes. A tutorial, a sample project following the conventions etc.

It will be interesting to read the comments on this early version but it's not really “released” yet.
