Bounce has a much higher bar for quality - for example, you may find a sketchy liquor store on other platforms but Bounce is much more focused on quality. Additionally, these other companies have been around for years. Come back to this thread in a year and we will see how things play out.

I’m not sure exactly what you mean by this, but the way I read it, I disagree with this as a description of human memory.
> Except no one talks about guns that are used for hunting when talking about gun control

Not only is that untrue, it’s so untrue that a common trope among gun types is to display two pictures of the same gun, one with a wooden stock, and observe the disparity in reactions. Most people can’t define what a “hunting rifle” is, and certainly can’t define legislation that would ban one kind of gun without impacting the other. One of the biggest complaints about California‐ or 1994 AWB‐style gun laws is that they target cosmetic but “scary” features like barrel shrouds or pistol grips far out of proportion with their actual impact on safety (in contrast with the real elephant in the room, handguns).

> maybe the idiots who use massive powered automatic rifles for shooting deer may be slightly affected

The poster child for moral panic when it comes to guns is the AR-15, which is significantly less powerful than a typical deer hunting rifle, so much so that some states ban it specifically against large game; it’s more appropriate for smaller game like coyotes and hogs.

If you’re trying to get rid of black rifles, then at least say openly that you want to ban semi‐automatic rifles and magazines. Talking about an AR‐15’s “massive power” is nonsensical, especially if you’re claiming your gun control proposals won’t affect deer hunting rifles.

You can see why highest GDP and most number of jobs would be problematic right? If we cut California in half suddenly it would be half as business friendly.

And I'm pretty sure none of them were thinking about the non-compete laws or environmental regulations when they thought cool city.
>For international shipping—often something will be in a black hole on various boats + transdock facilities + customs for two months or more, before anyone knows where the package is, or whether it was received at all.

This is all really awesome from my perspective, but I kiiinda got lost about here:

>Of course, some might even take the concept further, reducing from a Boltzmann simulation to simply a Boltzmann architect - a purely information based intelligence capable of creating and sustaining such a simulation without the need of any physicality at all, and spawning off child threads to extend that property of "consciousness."

I guess the concept of 'pure information' or 'abstracted information' is where I start to get confused. You'd still need that instantiated on some physical medium. A bunch of hydrogen atoms (or whatever) would have to jostle into place to represent the needed information, right? Unless this is a variant of a Kalam cosmological argument that takes minds to be different from, and simpler than, physical things? Or is this non-physical 'stuff', and if so, does that non-physical stuff get subjected to the random jostling the same way as physical stuff?

>and sustaining such a simulation without the need of any physicality at all, and spawning off child threads to extend that property of "consciousness."

And where are we here? I'm not clear what physical medium the intelligence/simulation/pure information is on, or if there's no physical medium, I'm not clear on what way the intelligence/simulation/pure information is popping into existence or what it means to spawn child threads. Maybe for your purposes physicalism is entirely assumed away at this point?

Then there's the 'foundational basis for existence' which I think departs from the terms of the original thought experiment, which presupposes that a certain kind of universe already got there, and that Boltzmann Objects are already busy poofing into and out of existence within it.

Though I take your more general points that (1) there's a whooole taxonomy of Boltzmann "objects" that can be imagined and (2) among those objects, some of them will be relatively simple and make for interesting considerations about what's most likely to poof into existence.
Apologies for the misunderstanding. You said "generalizing from a partial sample of the problem space" and I thought you meant generalisation to unseen data from few examples, which is generally what we would all like to get from machine learnig models (but don't).

But, if a neural net can't _extrapolate_ to unseen instances, I don't see how it can solve problems like the one you describe with any useful precision, again unless it's trained with gigantic amounts of examples (which you say is not required). And how is this reducing computational costs with respect to hand-coded solvers?
As for the translations - even a seemingly innocent sentence like "the sand people ride single file to hide their numbers" is fraught with ambiguity. I wouldn't call "unable to tell file-the-tool from file-the-data-representation from file-the-line" mastery.

> clearly don’t share any axioms

they share a lot - for example both agree that currently there is "earth" which is the point where the "Boltzmann Brain", "Rene Descards malicious demon" and all other variants of "simulated reality" theorems come in. Those refute the existence of earth, and share the "consciousness in a box" idea, yet they can still argue with the aforementioned creationists and evolutionists, because all sides have the common believe that there is, at least, a consciousness that thinks that there is "earth".

> if you have an omnipotent being

you can really piss of creationists by sharing their believe in the existence of a creating entity, but refuting the idea of it being "omni-scient/omni-potent" or even the least bit competent. Think about it: there is ample evidence that life, the universe and everything else was created as a sixth year school project and has since been abandoned by its creator.
Bounce is an awesome idea! I've struggled to find good places to store luggage in the US, while I've generally managed to find something when I travel in Europe. If you use Airbnb exclusively, most hosts let you checkin in the afternoon. So you absolutely need to store luggage somewhere while you wait for your host.

John "Jack" Minnick, higher math professor at De Anza College and author of multiple higher math texts.

I had to take the calculus sequence for my later B.S. in C.S. requirements. I entered Calculus I with some trepidation, but he structured his course so that you couldn't fall behind and stay in at all: lectures were daily, M-F, and most days began with a quiz based on the prior night's homework.

His lectures were thorough and just flowed.

He must have been in his 50s (based on when he joined the faculty) but looked 30s. He tragically died a few years later. I actually went to his memorial in SF; he had a broad base of friends spanning both arts and sciences. I recall one segment where a speaker read from "The Tempest". After the passage concluded, a member of the audience stood and proceeded to recite the next several passages from memory with the sturdy voice of a skilled Shakespearean actor.
Your post has nothing to do with pointing elephants. You've just threw a bunch of baseless assertions mixed with gratuitous blanket personal attacks. Ignorance mixed with resentment is never helpful.

Cities become expensive when people there spend a lot of money. Similar cities in different parts of the world have different prices for goods, services and rent. This is why Silicon Valley is so expensive, there are too much money there.
I suppose on Linux, libusb itself is supposed to be the general programming interface, not the poking around with /dev or ioctl. The Windows and Mac interfaces he was using are quite possibly implemented as libraries over a more primitive layer.

Speculation, knowing nothing about USB specifically.
"Everything is a file" is one of the most misunderstood concepts I encountered, to the point where people think that disk IO is involved. A file doesn't even need a filename (eg sockets).

The main point is to have a common interface for system resources, which happens to be the file api in Linux. Think of it as the base class of everything. There is a bunch of tools/code that operates on file descriptors, which you can reuse now.

Build better interfaces on top of that if you want to.
I would disagree that a dream is 'totally' incoherent or truly random, and I don't think it's necessarily inevitable that existence would feel coherent, which I take to be GP's point. There's a wide swath of possible sets of memories I could be given. Some coherent and belonging to a self. Some that seem to but that, given sufficient relfection, would turn out not to be, as when you wake up from a dream, and then some that, even when lucidly regarded in the moment appear to be nonsensical on their face.

Of this range of possibilities, ones giving you a seemingly coherent and ordered timeline of experiences, or one that is disordered but close enough to order that it can be readily can be interpreted as ordered, would appear to be more improbable.

>on that small of a timescale, your existence is really just a single instantaneous snapshot of a state of mind, and there’s no time to recall a sequence of memories or think through logical propositions.

I think this is very true. Even being around long enough to pose the question to yourself gives you reasonably strong confidence that you've 'tested out' of being a boltzman brain. Though I think that consideration is being momentarily set aside for purposes of this variant of the thought experiment.

Forking can be a middle finger — a schism, dividing the church to do it your way. Or it can be the most normal thing ever where no one would even bat an eye.

The distinction is if there is tribalism entering the discourse. If the reddit-community-tribe argues gathered around their digital fireplace how bad that one maintainer is, it will naturally become a tribe vs. maintainer conflict (a good way for tribesfolk to proof they are part of the tribe).

This is exactly what saddens Steve: it shouldn't be the "we know real Rust"-tribe against the heretic maintainer. If anything the "heretic maintainer" should be seen as part of the tribe: it is not in our interest to "win" but rather to convince and to take him with us.

I find it shocking at times how low people go just to defend their newfound beliefs within their newfound tribal community.
It's really a mystery for me how he got his subscription without noticing it.

By default I trust people's good faith but this time I'm really wondering whether he was really surprised, or if he knew what he was doing but feigned it for Internet fame.

I have an HP printer, I use Instant Ink because I chose to. By default it just works like a regular printer, you buy cartridges and there is no subscription to pay.

I do like the idea that this is a solved problem, but if I'm in some tiny town, I still might need a service like this, and my go to service would have it covered.

I get that launching city by city makes sense at first, but just curious how this rolls out coverage wise!

Also, do you insure the luggage?
> In data science and research, we believe in the concept of don't trust what they say, but look at what they do.

Is that why everything keeps getting dumber and shittier to use after the company added machine learning, data science and data driven framework to their stacks?

They don't need to listen to people when they can just pretend they know what people want with their 'data stick'.

Obviously, majority of people know what they want. We are not just smart monkeys with terrible exploits, we are different and resistant to many short comings.

There is no historical context to look at. There is no reason to believe that something is a random occurence leading to a wide chain of events afterwards.
Naturally, if you opened similar app to facebook now and deployed same strategy, tracking behaviour. You would get users at the same pace.

While I do think you have some valid points, intelligent people will move towards places of better quality of life and opportunities, I don't think it applies in the current example well. There are better places than California depending on metrics - homelessness, cost, pollution, transportation etc on quality of life. For opportunities, don't know but it can't be a hub for everything out there.
Arch offers the most packages, bar none. You have the excellent base pacman package-system, and then you have AUR, which is easily sanitizable. You can quickly verify that even things from AUR, in Arch Linux, won't do anything fancy in a bad way. Thinking Debian and *BSD has more packages than Arch is retarded. And once you AUR something, could be anything, and, everything is easy to verify not doing any shenanigans, then the final built package is handled with the internal Arch Linux package system, ie pacman.
The author starts with: P(A|B) = P(B|A)P(B)/P(A)

This is Bayes the wrong way around. The last part should be P(A)/P(B). I have no hand in the dispute (reading here for the first time about it), but not getting the basics right is not very convincing.

So you are talking about leaving work to give birth and recover from it? That indeed is required, but I'm talking about leaving work to _raise_ the children that one gives birth to.

I'm saying that it's only women who leave work to _raise_ their children and that _that_ is sexist. There is no reason to abandon your career to raise your children, there is no reason that this is never done by men (who can do it just as well as women because it does not involve special biological characteristics) and there is no reason that women are expected to do it.

In the western world of course we have such things as maternal leave and in some countries even _parental_ leave which is an attempt at a solution to exactly the problem we're discussing here: that women are expected to leave their careers _permanently_ to raise their children even though they only need at most a few months or so to recover after giving birth (a year is an absolute extreme), and that men are not expected to do the same.

EDIT: So, I say "in the western world" but it turns out that's not _all_ the western world. From wikipedia's article on parental leave:

The United States, Suriname, Papua New Guinea, and a few island countries in the Pacific Ocean are the only countries in the United Nations that do not require employers to provide paid time off for new parents.[6]

EDIT 2: "You are missing purposely the fact".

I'm not and I could assume you are wilfully misunderstanding _me_. And where would that get us?

Yeah, but if you read closely their speeches, they're trying to paint this as if we shouldn't benefit from "warrantproof encryption" or be able to "resist a warrant".

Leaving the technical details aside such as the fact that it's not possible to have a "secure backdoor" that won't ultimately be used by the (other) "bad guys", this is important because they make it seem as if this is the only way they'd ever use this power -- with a warrant.

And THAT is beyond FALSE and a BIG FAT LIE, and they know it. Watch Bush's speech about the Patriot Act when he signed it. He said the bill will be used to "read the terrorists' emails" and other digital communications. Now we know that in 97-99% of the cases, the Patriot Act is used for crimes other than terrorism, usually drug related. But the FBI also absolutely loves to abuse the National Security Letters for at least half of their data requests to big data companies. And the best part is those come with gag orders so the public will almost never find out about those requests.

Worse yet, since these were past, these powers were further expanded, usually days before Christmas, so now the FBI gets access to RAW internet data just like only the NSA did previously. So does DEA, and about 15 other agencies. No warrant needed, for just about any crime they'd like to investigate.

And you can bet this is their plan with the encryption backdoors, too. I guarantee it. They'll continue to talk in public about warrants and how they will only use it with a warrant, and then somehow the bill will be written to include all sorts of ways for them to access the encrypted data WITHOUT a warrant.

Even when the criticism against a surveillance bill is very strong, they still somehow end-up "compromising" by only getting warrantless access in "emergency situations" (where emergency isn't defined too specifically) or for "serious crimes" (often not well defined in the bill either). Or they manage to sneak a serious crimes "and other type of crimes" in there, too, as they've done in some bills in the past.

So let's not be naive with the whole "warrantproof" talking point. They're trying to distract and mislead us. Ultimately, even if the bill is very specific about a warrant, they just know they can expand it later after one or two renewals, as they've done with FISA 702 to now give other federal agencies much of the same data access NSA gets, even though that wasn't supposed to be the original plan at all.
Ask HN: How can mortal create digital movie/shows marketplace?
I'm wondering if mortal developer can create something like itunes for movies but as cheap as possible.

If there was some not so expensive digital movies it would benefit everyone (except itunes and gplay).

The idea is to make place with powerful admin control for studios and charge 10% from selling media item.

And for attracting traffic 5% throw to affiliate program.

So basically creator will always get 90% for item he is selling.

Do someone has some experience to share?
