We have multiple examples in the 1920’s in large dense cities...

And as far as what happens when you let multiple companies dig up the streets that are willing to pay for it, we also have an example of what happens when a company decides to abandon an area when it’s not profitable and leaves the infrastructure and the streets in a mess. Google Fiber and shallow trenching....

What do you think is going to happen when these companies go out of business? Are we now also going to have multiple companies serving the last mile? What happens at the last mile when your water company goes out of business? How long will it take a competitor to get to your home?
I'm guessing OP (Right term? I'm new to this!) is referring to immigrants, at least in Europe, typically depending more on the state for assistance and having much higher unemployment rates, thus having more immigrants would place a higher burden on public finances. This is from Wikipedia regarding Sweden: 'First generation immigrants, for example, constituted 60% of economic welfare recipients in 2016, 73% of all unemployed and 53% of those serving long prison sentences.'
Those are restrictions on what the government can do to you, not requirements that you be provided something. The government cannot prosecute in secret after keeping you locked up for years. The government cannot prevent you from obtaining counsel. The government cannot choose a jury on the basis of its bias against you. The government cannot shield whoever accused you from scrutiny. The government must tell you of what you are accused.

Well I never played these games before, what I miss the most is exactly that. A plethora of games that had no monetary reason to make them. Simply because it was possible for a solo non-skilled person to put a inspired idea in Flash in a relatively quick amount of time. I don't think we have any equivalent in the web today
>The F35 is part of the reason the US isn't in as much hell economically speaking as Europe is.

Funny, I've never seen a trailer park in Europe. And oddly, the infrastructure is typically way better too. Bizzarely, fewer people seem to die of preventable disease as well.

Clearly Europe is doing something terribly wrong, and needs to adopt the American model.

Finland has forests which isn't really much but is far more than just tundra.

I think their advantages are essentially fundamentally geographic but deeply counterintuitive. The Nordics counter intuively may have the "advantage" of a harsh climate which both aids defense and promotes "sincere" cooperation due to a force outside their control and long term planning and infastructure. Don't prepare for winter and it kills you.

Conceptuallly it is essentially an inverse resource curse where a disavantage has a positive impact. Of course there are other unspoken factors to their success. Like all nations the geographic distance to trading partners has influence on growth.

>When I close my eyes, it's black. Just, black. Well, you know, depending on how bright the lights are, etc.

Maybe you already know this, but non-aphantastic (heh) just see black too. When we visualize something, it's a very different experience from seeing anything at all. It's more the knowledge of "if I could see this thing, this is how it would look".

I'd be very interested in knowing what really happens in our brains. It feels like stringing together a bunch of information and assembling a spectral "print preview" that you can't really see.
Remove government restrictions on land use regarding housing, and you'll find plenty of places with new (relatively crappy) housing for people.
An Englishman told me earlier that the changeover happening at midnight CET (rather than GMT) was "the one final indignity" afforded by the EU.
The overriding thing is to "take care of each other". If they want more updates, send more updates. If they want less updates, send less updates. How do you know what they prefer? Ask them.

Communicating about communicating is underrated.
Right... but that's still different from "the government has to pay for you to have a house."
A small observation: I’m Norwegian, but can speak English fairly well. When I lived abroad for a while, after some time I suddenly noticed that my thoughts had switched language (it switched somewhat back and forth, though). This still happens when I have longer conversations with foreigners, thus typically speaking English. However, thinking in English goes slower and is a bit limiting, as my English is still way worse than my Norwegian.
In countries without constitutional protections, sure. But in the US taking away people's inalienable rights, for example to free speech, is nearly impossible.

The cinematography of Andrei Rublev (and really all of Tarkovsky's films) feels almost magical.

I remember the first time I watched Andrei Rublev, it was in a university library, in one of those media carrols (on a laserDISC !). There's a scene in the middle of film depicting a pagan spring ritual where Rublev and the other monks were compelled to participate. Anyways, by the time that scene was over I turned around and noticed several other students standing behind me asking what the F was I watching, they were so mesmerized, they abandoned what they were watching and just started to watch Andrei Rublev.

One contemporary director in particular come to mind, that remind me at least in part of Tarkovsky. Apichatpong Weerasethakul, who directed "Uncle Bonmee who can recall his past lives" and others (https://www.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=_bJdvNS4iRw). Like Tarkovsky films, this film and his others meander in plotless dreamy arcs with sumptuous camera work. Weerasethakul has even stated that he's OK with people falling asleep while watching his films.
And private investors wouldn't immediately buy up as much land as possible as they did with single family homes during the housing crisis?

Everyone needs a place to live and land is a finite resource. Plus, foreign investors love to use real estate to park money. Government doesn't seem to be the problem here. People will pay what they have to to avoid being homeless. At the same time, developers will build what's most profitable: luxury housing. The market won't fix the problem, so we the people, by way of government, should.
I love regex and have no trouble reading them, but still love this tool, great job. I especially like the railroad diagrams, for those cases where I brainfarted on a regex and it's doing something other than what I intended. Thanks for this.
> rotors operate fully in 3D, whereas quaternions are in 4D. This means you can visualize rotors ... whereas with quaternions, you have to ... trust the formulas.

This is a bit of a stretch -- by the same logic any operation on more than three numbers means I have to trust the formulas. We have many methods to understand, visualize, develop intuition, etc. in such cases, such as "fix a, look at what happens when you vary b, c and d". When I am working to understand dynamics of an object with three variables in MATLAB or similar, I seldom (probably never) plot it in 3D (which gets projected on the surface of a flat monitor anyway). Instead I usually play with numerous 2D and even 1D plots. My 2c.

No, they're mathematically exactly the same. Just a different way of thinking about the same mathematics that the author argues (probably correctly) makes more intuitive sense.
What always strikes me is how sloppy and poorly written commercial code is when it is leaked - esp compared to open source projects. Looks like someone’s CS200 project a lot of the time.

Just yesterday I've visited Off-facebook activity and was very surprised to find there information that I though nobody could trace back to me. And I believe it's only tip of an iceberg. Probably there wasn't even direct wiretapping - it was guessed by comparing some patterns of my checkins or pages I've browsed.

Still, I don't believe Telegram and Pavel Durov. Also, the first story I've read about this case mentioned only Telegram. I'm not sure I can find it now - it was almost one year ago - it's long gone from my browsing history.

I wouldn’t look negatively at price shaming. Facebook isn’t a person their a corporation. I’m sure they’re delighted about this article, for one it’s free publicity and two they’re getting valuable feedback on their product.

Without wanting to sound dismissive to the massive contribution Tim Berners-Lee, and CERN as a whole, has made to IT; we’d probably have ended up with the same user experience we have today but with Gopher as the base tech. Or maybe something else entirely different from markup perspective, such as something RTF or s-expressions...?

Great technological advancements are rarely the work of one genius in isolation. Usually it requires the imagination of a great many people to be captured.

Especially with the increase of automation and the reduction of the number of jobs, I think it's a must.

It's 2020, it just doesn't make sense to still have people living on the streets, like animals.

As most people are not financially independent, homelessness could literally happen to any of us. All it takes is a rough period in your live, you get laid off, a bad divorce, someone in your family passes away that used to contribute to the expenses and now you can't pay the rent, a war veteran that could not adapt to society.

A car breaks down and you can't go to your minimal pay job anymore, you get laid off and can't pay the rent.

To anyone who thinks otherwise and thinks homeless people just don't want to work, I recommend the channel Invisible People - https://www.youtube.com/user/invisiblepeopletv
Ensuring you have counsel is intended to make sure that the government can't unfairly imprison/punish a person who is ignorant of the legal system and incapable of defending themselves. The end goal is still to be a check on government power.

That's still far different from the government being obligated to provide you housing.

(To be clear - I'm not taking a position on universal housing. It might be a great idea! I just think it's a different class of right, and I think the distinction is worth preserving.)
I'm confused—the author keeps referring to rotations. The very first sentence is "To represent 3D rotations graphics programmers use Quaternions", even. But I don't think you don't need quaternions to represent 3D rotations. You need quaternions to represent translations, because translations aren't linear functions in 3D. (To be a linear function, v * 0 = 0, but that isn't true for translations). My understanding was that the extra dimension was to be able to represent translations. Am I mistaken?

Putting together an effective legal defense in the face of myriad laws is a difficult task. The government agrees to not abuse its power of incarceration against the citizenry.

Your right to freedom is what's at stake. If the government wants to take it they agree to make their case, not do so capriciously.

I don't understand the phrase "rotors operate fully in 3D". What does operating in 3D mean?

If it means rotors can be used to give a simple formula for rotations in 3D space, then it also applies to quaternions.

If it means the space of rotors is three-dimensional, then it's false: rotors have 4 coordinates, a + b x^y + c y^z + d x^z, just like quaternions.

Does it mean something else? Something that applies only to rotors and not to quaternions?

> Heck, 70% of Finns belong to the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland

70% of Finns are merely on the rolls of the Lutheran Church, which really only means that parents had their child baptised as a popular traditional ritual, not as a sign of devout belief. I would suggest that Christianity never penetrated the Finnish psyche as deep as certain other European states. In most Finnish communities the church is not a center of community life but simply a building that stands as a museum (in many localities there is no active church at all). Also, with the rise of the welfare state, Finns immediately abandoned the notion that the Lutheran Church has any significant role to play in the lives of the less fortunate. Finland’s state churches themselves have happily handed over almost all of their charitable role to the state.

And in that portion of the country which was traditionally Orthodox, support for the welfare state doesn’t noticeably differ from the Lutheran part.

If you want to claim that Finns make their welfare state work because of ethnic homogenity, that ethnic homogenity would have to be located somewhere else than religion.

A tongue isn't neccessary to survival and yet we would call someone who went out ripping people's tongues human rights violators among other things. Not being neccessary is not sufficient to for something to not be a human rights violation.

I wouldn't call speculation in itself a human right but it emerges from others like right to trade and ownership. Taxing unoccupied homes would be a way to address it perfectly respectful of human rights - fixed costs of infastructure upkeep need to be paid after all.
NOTE: Hacker News changed the title, so my comment might make less sense. The title was "Isaac Asimov’s three laws of robotics have been updated"

1. The machine’s only objective is to maximize the realization of human preferences.

Not all humans are the same. How would a robot deal with incongruent preferences? Or cultural differences that conflict?

2. The machine is initially uncertain about what those preferences are.

So am I... We often don't even know what our own preferences are. This has been studied. Given too many options of snow cone flavors, humans are less likely to even pick one! [0]

3. The ultimate source of information about human preferences is human behavior.

What?! The phrase "Do as I say, not as I do" comes to mind. Many people behave against their own intuition, best interests, or even their preferences, given the situation, peer pressure, or blackmail.

This "rewrite" is less preferable to Asimov's. Humans are fallible. I wouldn't want a robot to follow our lead.

I'm guessing the logic went like this:

Your are complaining that your taxes are being spent on dubious rubbish.

Ergo, your position is hypocritical.

I saw an interview with a German virologist. Her estimate was to have fatality rate of around 2%. Also stated the issues of calculating these number during the outbreak as not all cases are known, not everyone is either cured or dead. She also hinted at a bias towards the severe cases as most minor ones, symptoms like a cold, aren't reported yet and most likely not admitted to a hospital.

As she said, we will only know once the thing is over.
