> If people were allowed to have private retirement accounts with that Social Security money, everyone would be able to retire comfortably.

The drawback of a capital-only pension system is that ever more and more "dumb money" gets locked into things like ETFs - and more and more shares of "safe" companies get owned by entities which have ... questionable interest in exercising their voting rights.

For example, take big oil or coal companies. Their time to live is limited, last but not least because the demand is going to dry up sooner or later. Normally, investors would shed off these shares or at least push the company to sustainable goals - think car companies here: the long term goal that's most beneficial to society is to shift to electric / hydrogen, while the short-term goal that's most beneficial to next quarter's benefit is to cut r&d and sell high-margin SUVs instead.

The other problem that locking huge amounts of money into ETFs presents is a bit more complex: as more and more marker volume is held by ETFs which have to track the base stock get into a precarious position. Assume a stock drops in value because of a large sell-off, bad news, a Presidential Tweet or whatever, the ETFs the funds have to follow... and sell off, creating a race to the bottom due to oversupply (and the other way around). That means that, as more and more percentage of wealth is gobbled up by "dumb money", the remaining traders gain undue influence since they can essentially force the hands of the dumb money.

And then there is the final drawback: a government backed pension scheme like the German one where current employees pay the pensions of current pensioners in exchange for the in-kind promise ("Rentenpunkte") will weather any economic crash as long as the government keeps existing. A capital-based system is in for a nasty surprise in a total collapse event. The 'rona was a warning sign in that case.
And for a lot of smaller apps, they're unable to realistically support being distributed in many different distributions. Flathub is cross-distro and easier for the app author/developer/maintainer to support.

Is it perfect, no... is it actually much more secure, not usually. All of that said, is it available in pretty much every linux distribution and often a newer version than what would be in the repositories, absolutely.

What happened to sensor fusion? There's no reason self-driving AI has to be as unreliable as toy or research AI. People made these same FUD arguments about computer in cars decades ago. Home computers were unreliable so cars will surely crash if their brakes or throttles are controlled by computers too.
Not a fan of Voxel Based Morphometry, personally.
Sure, but the abolition of copyright would also mean that individual authors do not have copyright over their works, even if they sidestep the publishers. (Which, to be fair, the commenter upthread admits - turn on showdead in your profile if you want to see it.)

I am not sure that many authors who get mistreated by their publishers would feel like they're going to get paid better and have more control over their creative output if copyright goes away entirely.
Anything generating a lot of possible ‘interesting’ datapoints is very tricky to statistically validate. Essentially you need to raise the threshold for statistical significance based on the number of possibilities being considered.

That’s almost never done correctly, and often misused. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_dredging

Watching this presentation did not make me any more confident about going in a self-driving car.

Based on the way it was presented, I got the feeling that they are just essentially manually identifying cases and addressing them as they see them. Is that solution really helping to make the system more robust when encountering an unexpected situation?
Thanks. This is a great piece of advise.
This issue can't be solved purely with technical measures, unless you're willing to accept major loss of functionality. The GDPR is fine, enforcement is what's awful.

So then why were there so many 32 bit apps? 2005 is, what, a year after the Intel transition? Surely not all of those apps were written during that one year.

Not to mention, for better or worse, games in particular were 32bit through 2018 at least. I imagine this must have had something to do with cross platform compatibility, although I can't imagine what.
I've been warned about repetitive ideological discussion on HN so I should probably not elaborate on the matter. I do agree with you though. These are all important points that should be addressed. I do not know the answers to these questions. I sincerely hope someone smarter than me will be able to come up with really good answers.

I just think that we can't go on like this. Copyright is based on a lie: artificial scarcity. It wasn't so obvious before the 20th century but computers and the internet changed everything. Society must change as well.

In order to enforce copyright in the 21st century, computing freedom must be sacrificed. I don't think anyone here wants that outcome. So I defend the end of copyright.

None, in the vast majority of cases you illegally weren't given a choice.
Well I find that a bit odd. But I vouched your comment anyways, because I think it's better to discuss these things than try to flag and ban the other side.
It’s amazing to me that we allow a regulatory body the power to decide, before a system is even built, whether it qualifies as a “such-and-such performance” system. Why not just wait and see before potentially excluding LEO providers from certain spectrum auctions? Why? Hmmm... the idea of regulatory capture by incumbents provides one potential answer.

Then again what’s the risk? If the new folks meet the bar, you can always change the rules.

We started a simple webrtc app in 2018. Thought it would be simple. Now two years later we are still tweaking the code and dealing with handshakes and codecs across browsers, as well as edge cases involving firewalls and what to do if someone disconnects for longer than the timeout.

Finally we had to invent workarounds for Cordova: https://mobile.twitter.com/qbixapps/status/11564841564250398...

>> The applications are not only limitless but they're being realized right now and it's insulting to have my work dismissed so shallowly by someone who speaks with such authority.

What exactly is your work? In research, including AI research, it is ordinary and expected for one's work to be subject to the most ruthless criticism. This is as it should be: only work that survives all criticism can really be expected to last.

If you are an AI researcher, you should be used to that by now and not take it personally.
I doubt it. United States gdp per capita is 53k. The median should be a lot lower because of the outliers. Of course that does include everyone not just salaried folk.

Historically you can say interest and opportunity.. The league has gotten whiter over the years most because of influx of european talent. White people didn't get taller anything.

"Sometimes students don't fit in"? Is that really your description of what a kid who wants to be a good student in a bad neighborhood often suffers at the hands of his classmates?

The claim that good schools are good because of small class sizes and higher teacher pay, that it is as simple as that and that there is "really no debate" is false. Pointing out that A and B are not the only factors, it's not as simple as that, that there is plenty of debate, and describing an additional factor beyond just A & B is not "dismissing" A and B.

Consider the scenario I described: a large school district with multiple neighborhoods where the admin, funding, class sizes, teacher pay, etc., are the same but the student bodies differ. You might be able to equalize outcomes by giving the lower-performing school smaller classes and better-paid teachers, or you might not, but even if you did, you would then have to explain why a school with smaller classes and better-paid teachers wasn't doing any better than one without those features. The answer would remain the same: because there are other factors that matter, too. It's not as simple as just smaller classes and better pay for teachers, and there is plenty of debate about what factors matter and how much.
Putting out a script runnable by everybody might put too much strain on Springer's servers (and their generosity). I'll give some steps that the motivated can follow instead.

1. Extract a list of all a.btn links from the OP page (382 total).

2. Issue a HEAD request and follow redirects for each link to get the actual page URL (I used curl for this).

3. The page URL contains the book ID. Compare a sample URL's format with its PDF and ePub links. Each page URL can be easily munged into both (sed here).

4. The download pages are captcha-protected, but there's a <noscript> escape hatch in the source. Find it and pass the appropriate data in a POST request to the final file URLs (wget).
Nintendo prospered after their head guy went to america to meet with their head of playing cards and found out it was some shitty back office, panicked, and tried to pivot rapidly. They tried, among many ideas, love hotels.

Luckily some guy made this zany grabby arm that turned out to be a popular kids toy and the day was saved. Then they started making video games. The wikipedia is fairly entertaining.
Would you be willing to share your collection of high-quality logos with the community? I can index any github or gitlab repo with logos.

A lot of the current sources are people's personal collections that they have shared.

This is actually how I started: I made my personal collection into a website (https://www.vectorlogo.zone/). My collection is more curated, definitely in terms of size/layout, and hopefully more current, but curation is a lot of work, and not what I'm trying to do on LogoSear.ch.

They used to, but they removed support. It makes sense to focus on just one protocol I think since they're such a lean operation. Also the guy running Beaker seems to be sort of anti-blockchain (describing himself as an "Unblockchain consultant") which might make them biased against it.

Also, IPFS urls change when the content they're pointing to changes, which makes them bad for decentralized web stuff. They are working on IPNS to handle this but I don't know what the status is.

IIRC the main thing Soviets feared was surprise strike on Moscow by nukes launched from a space shuttle.

This sounds rather absurd given that preparing a space shuttle for launch takes literally months. But the idea was, as far as I can tell, that it would launch on a regular mission, then use its heat shield and aerodynamic surfaces to change orbit inclination radically while out of reach of soviet radar, resulting in totally unexpected direct overflight of Moscow, making a decapitating strike possible.

I'd love to see how it does in Perfect Dark a few seconds after that screenshot was taken.

There's a part in the hallway to the left where you fly a little drone into a laboratory to take a picture. It's one of the traditionally hard places to emulate for these sorts of emulation strategies that abstract the graphics output from the memory pathway of the real system. That's because the effect to make it look like a security camera that would happen these days as a post process fragment shader, is instead done on the main CPU, just reading and writing to the framebuffer. So the GPU emulation actually needs to write out the framebuffer at the correct format/resolution. And then you have to read the framebuffer from memory, not short circuited out of the GPU directly like is the core of how this is designed to get it's benefits.

The system you’re talking about already exists! Half of all K-12 funding comes from state and federal sources, and is directed to the neediest kids. Here is the district by district breakdown in Maryland: https://i2.wp.com/conduitstreet.mdcounties.org/wp-content/up...

Baltimore City has less than half the local education funding of Anne Arundel (a predominantly white, upper middle class county containing Annapolis and the Naval Academy). But state and federal funding more than makes up for it. Baltimore gets $12,200 per student from the state, versus $5,300 for Anne Arundel. And it gets an extra almost $1,000 from the federal government. In all, Baltimore getting about $3,000 more per student than Anne Arundel. Allegheny County, a mostly white but lower income county, also gets significantly more funding. Note that cost of living is also higher in Anne Arundel than the other two places.

In most states, poorer districts actually get slightly more funding than richer districts: https://apps.urban.org/features/school-funding-do-poor-kids-....

Better to communicate with co-workers as equals/peers. Bragging is not necessary if people are aware of what everyone is working on and for what reasons, because the group's overall goal is what ultimately matters, not the status of each member.

There is a very good book on leadership and how to be a team member by the astronaut Chris Hadfield ("An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth"): https://www.amazon.com/dp/0316253030. It's a worthwhile read because if everyone tried to be as professional as an astronaut then most workplaces would be fantastic places to work. That book has generally good advice that is applicable in every workplace where teamwork is required to accomplish a bigger goal (which I figure is almost every workplace these days).
This isn't true and was never true; currently don't have time to point out why it's not true but I will get to it as soon as possible.

First off, I'm a total noob when it comes to WebRTC, but having read the docs Google provide for it (and the accompanying mini video app tutorial) it seemed like it's dead simple to implement and use - I understood that the complexities and basically everything you talked about above was already handled. Is your implementation different than theirs or did I maybe misunderstand the value propositions of WebRTC?

Basically a bunch of thugs attack random drivers. One of the thugs jumps into a random car, the car stops, police come, pull the thug out, he resists, they deal with him. I have zero sympathy for the thug.

If you want to create a list for this cause, at least make it good, make it solid. Don't fill it with random junk to inflate the numbers.
I'd used to think these changing master/slave PRs where stupid, no one I know has ever used the words due to there use in slavery or as a form of racism in code. The people often offended by the master/slave terms are middle-class white folk on Twitter who think it offends other people.

Then at some point, I realized it's not worth caring. If it only stops one person from being offended, the effort and time spent debating over it are far more than doing a search and replace and closing the issue to save the headache and distraction from real problems.

In saying that, the GitHub one renaming / removing the default master branch is bizarre. Never have I seen a branch named slave, which can be linked to master/slave terminology. Again it's not worth my effort caring over it, but it is strange. Are we trying to remove the word master from our vocabulary entirely because it is also used to describe people who traded slaves way before our lifetime? https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/master.
Linear models have more bias, so they represent current data less well and are more predictive of future, unseen data (think of a straight line through a point cloud).

Non-linear models have more variance so they represent current data better and are less predictive of future, unseen data (think of a line snaking around a point cloud).

An added complication is that deep neural net models are, in practice, vectors (or, well, tensors) of numbers so they are difficult to interpret. This and their extreme variance makes it hard to know how they will behave in the future.
> The world has changed. We're living in the 21st century. It costs $0 to make and distribute copies of information. Only the costs associated with creating the first copy must be paid for.

That's not really a change. Previously, the physical costs of copying were higher (paper, ink, labor, etc.), but none of that was a royalty to the author.

For an expensive textbook, it was always cheaper to print a pirated copy of the book than to pay for a legal one, because most of the cost of that expensive textbook was profit/royalties, not the physical cost of production.

It's true that it's now very easy to produce copies of e-books for $0, but there was no technical reason in the past why a bookstore with a printing press couldn't have sold $100 books for $10 - only copyright. I'm not sure why the ability to sell $100 books for $0 (or even $10 books for $0) is a qualitative change and not merely a quantitative one.
Cool. I was playing with audio landmarks[1] last week to remove ads from podcast before I listen to them. I wonder if something like spleeter could be used together with landmarking as an elegant way to remove copyrighted music and retain speech for videos to be uploaded to Youtube.
