Never. I am from Spain, probably the most envious country in the world.

I never talked about money when I was starting my career(and earning way less than my peers, friends and family) and do not talk about it now that I make much more than them.

In the US people brag all the time with money. People value other people more because they make money and they value you less if you don't make money. People working in the private sector earn much more that people in the public space.

In Spain it is the opposite. Spain today is a socialist State in which public servants earn in average more than 35% than people in the private sector. Everybody wants to be public servant because it is "safe", even when the State is bankrupted and supported by EU deficit that will end sooner than later.

In places like Africa, South America or South Asia talking about the money you have is just dangerous. One of my family members had a cocaine bag planted in her luggage in Thailand by the taxi driver. She noticed and trew that away but the police man in the airport knew exactly the specific place where the bag was and searched for it again and again.

You better be careful because people like your kids used to the West can really be very stupid in those countries, because they are used to things like a Police system that is not corrupt.

I have traveled to many places of the world on my own alone wearing causal clothes and not spending much money that would have been very dangerous if they knew the money that I had in the bank.
Does it even matter "what intelligence is"? Much like "life" [0], the difficulty seems to be coming from being unable to define it, rather than "finding" it. There are multiple ways it can be defined, based on a bunch of different properties, and each definition delivers different outlooks.

Similar to "life", we use "intelligence" in everyday speech without specifying which definition we mean. I don't think that's going to change – it's just as unproductive to limit "life" to a single definiton (what about viruses? unconsciousness? ecosystems?) as it would be with "intelligence" (pets? ants? being able to converse with a human? showing reasoning? creativity?).

But that also means that the popular term "AI" will never be precise.

> The idea that Tesla would go bankrupt is crazy, they literally have years long waiting list for some of their products.

Plenty of companies have gone bankrupt while customers waited for products - this does not strike me as so unrealistic as to warrant being written off entirely
Every city subsidizes cars with billions of dollars of free parking. It is perhaps the largest expense of our government. All we get for that is road rage and traffic deaths.
This is basically the Chinese Room argument and the answer is: yes, the system as a whole is conscious.
Of course, that is why can only get the lower bound information. But for families with kids, they will generally try to max out budget on being in a decent school district, so that is somewhat representative. And people like to treat themselves on vacation, so if they are constantly flying to play golf or resort on tropical islands, you know how much that costs, and hence you know how much it costs to do repeatedly.

The nation is dependent on the money that California and NY put in to the federal tax system. You're welcome.

"A 2017 study by the Rockefeller Institute of Government found that traditional blue states like Connecticut ($15,643), Massachusetts ($13,582), New Jersey ($13,137), New York ($12,820), and California ($10,510), contributed significantly more in federal taxes, per citizen, than traditional red states like Mississippi ($5,740), West Virginia ($6,349), Kentucky ($6,626), and South Carolina ($6,665).

Not only do some states contribute more to the federal budget than others, but some also receive less from the federal government in return. On average, each of our 50 states receives about $1.14 from the federal government for every tax dollar they send to Washington.

This is why our federal government runs a deficit every year. The traditional red states mentioned above, however, receive more — much more. For example, Mississippi received $2.13 for every tax dollar it sends to Washington by way of federal taxes, West Virginia $2.07, Kentucky $1.90, and South Carolina $1.71.

For some large traditional blue states, California receives only 96 cents, Massachusetts 83 cents, Connecticut 82 cents, New York 81 cents, and New Jersey 74 cents for every tax dollar they sent to Washington. The discrepancy is significant."

Think about what you're saying dude: Hundreds of tiny distributions rely on unpaid volunteers to run a platform. A platform with questionable quality and no real support.

Yeah, it isn't expensive under those criteria.
> From Roku's blog post, it seems that Google wants a dedicated area in the global search for YouTube results. For example, If you search for "Last Week Tonight", Google wants a YouTube results row showing clips on their service above results from other content platforms like HBO Max. Basically, Google wants to have the placement that search ads get on their platform on Roku.

Previous discussions[0] suggested that it was simply "where does pressing the remote search button take you". If you're in the YT TV app, Google likely wanted the button to focus the search button within the app, not bring you back to the system-wide search.

I think you only regard that theory as "airtight" because you accept the premises of ontological naturalism. What you're basically saying is that it must be this way, because there is no other way to for it to be.

But it remains the case that there is exactly no evidence at all for the belief that consciousness is an emergent property of computation. Not some evidence -- no evidence.
They seem to be used mostly in like beginner tutorials as examples of crazy cool stuff haskell can do.

I actually just recently saw it in production code for the first time and was like "whaaaat is that?" It had been so long since I saw one that I didn't recognize it at first.

The thing is, usually in real haskell code you aren't going to be using something that is roughly like set builder notation. Well at least, I haven't seen many scenarios where its needed. You're pulling data from someplace, manipulating it, etc, and then sending it somewhere else.

That's not to say that I'm absolutely correct on this or whatever. But to me, overall I think Haskell syntax is far too complex and has too many special cases, and given list comprehensions are exactly equivalent to doing the same thing via the list monad, I'd prefer they be gone.

I fear that someday we'll collectively need to replace GHC, and each and every weird edge case just means that its that much more of a giant task when that day comes.

That's one of the reasons it's so nice to use reinforcement learning agents as guinea pigs. I can "pip install" a bunch of industry-standard RL agents and put them through the most bizarre scenarios, scenarios it would never be possible to put a human through. No ethical issues involved, since these RL agents are nothing more than a bunch of matrix multiplications.
I think direct feedback in PM is possible, at least for low modulation indices. The Yamaha implementation is in software, so a one sample delay is the easiest implementation (otherwise you'd have to solve a rather complex equation at every step).
For that to work they need to decide what they actually want to do with UWP support on XBox.

All those problems are systemic problems where the system enters a state of degeneratiom. Those “act big and fast” are not sustainable (not enough resources, time, effort, will — political or otherwise).

Those same degenerate processes can be reversed by taking advantage of the very second-order effects and feedback loops. Do things that will regenerate and restore the land. Regenerative agriculture has a much bigger impact than reducing carbon emissions. Even stuff like, modifying the “slash and burn” for clearing out to Amazon to “slash and char” taps into that feedback loop.

Buying local — or better yet, growing local, like in your backyard — isn’t just to develop resiliency for what is to come. There are specific practices local people can do to restore and regenerate the local ecosystem. They are highly specific to the local area.

Everytime you buy from outside the local area, you are contributing towards overharvesting, but you can’t see it because it doesn’t give you the feedback loop that locality does.

It is the same with potable water. We have very poor water management practices. As an example, Tucson sits on a plateau. It pumps water from the canals (sourced from the Colorado River; Arizona is at the bottom of water rights among four states). That water gets purified to drinking water standards all so that residents can flush their toilet and water their lawns. Meanwhile, the local aquifer has been depleting, and rainwater was not being captured in the soil.

Tucson is also the city that pioneered municipal codes for better water management because some residents pioneered greywater systems and curb cuts to capture monsoon rain.

But you want to see an example of communities fixing their potable water situation? How about this one: https://youtu.be/-8nqnOcoLqE

It does not require big actions.

To friends? Yes. To acquaintances? Probably, in certain settings. To random strangers? No.

But I am usually giving ranges, to the best of my knowledge, like "expect 60-70k" for this or that. Also we have some 2-3 pretty good overviews of IT salaries in Germany, and for most people that's kinda correct, as we mostly don't have these weirdly high Valley salaries, so you can easily tell people "you should be making 50k, not 40k" but not "you shouldn't start working fresh out of uni for under 100k".

Now if only people stopped saying "you need to be an expert" and said "you need to not be clueless at it" then it would be easily achievable over a few years.

The "expert" expression is abused by approximately the whole tech sector. No one meets those job requirements anymore, and yet the world (of web development) still moves on.

The competitive landscape for what is turning out to be the next evolution of in-home video content delivery is just making me realize that the content is not worth the hassle.

I'm not going to replace a $100/mo CATV subscription with 10 (or even 5) $10/mo individual subscriptions, where I have to constantly remember which service provides a particular show.

I'm not going to have multiple dongles and devices to watch content.

I am absolutely not going to rely on smart TV apps to provide a consistent or complete user experience.

I am not going to pay for a service and still be subjected to advertisements.

Somebody ping me when there is actually a logical option for in-home video content delivery to my TV. Until then, I'll either leave it turned off or use traditional options.
It looks like everyone on HN either has their own answer, or just ignore that there is a debate and decide that there is no mystery, or that consciousness cannot understand its own mechanism. So yeah, we definitely haven't cracked it...
It's about impulse control.

Most criminals do not have it either.
This whole situation really feels like Google has their head stuck up their ass. People are just as likely to leave Roku, as they are to leave YouTube TV. Their subscriber numbers can't be strong enough to justify such idiotic behavior. To me, this sounds like a middle manager gone rogue, and no one higher up has stepped in yet and said "Ok, you shot your shot, but Roku called your bluff, you've taken this way too far."

If this is really just about additional featured slots for Youtube TV in the Roku home screen. Apple would never cave to that. Xbox, Amazon, PlayStation, none of these companies would cave and give YouTube special treatment. Roku shouldn't either.

I had read something earlier which suggested there was also an issue with Roku selling devices with processors too underpowered for some new compression algorithm YouTube wanted to use. If this is the case, this feels more reasonable to me, and I'd be less inclined to pass judgement. At the end of the day, this would be Roku trying to save money and move the costs on to Google, which isn't equitable.
Let the haters hate, just ask questions and move on.

One of the hardest lessons to learn in life is to not concern yourself with what others think of them.

Be polite, courteous, and caring because you want people to like you and you don't want to be ostracized but those things come from within.

But, "I want them to think I'm successful/hot/smart/cool/etc" is just a good way to show how you're not any of those things. So many stories are about people who try really hard to maintain these personas and they all fall apart from the tension.

Delightful anecdotes in this article. Well done.
Yep - I don't support the government subsidizing this either!
> The type signature and the laws are all functors, applicative and monads are

Yes, and the parent I was replying to had only provided the type signatures.

Even more than that though, describing what something is is usually not sufficient. You also have to describe why it's useful, or rather what it's for.

This is analogous with comments in code - in well written code you don't need many comments telling you what the code is doing, it's often fairly clear. They're also for convenience not necessity because you can, with enough time, figure out what the code is doing because you have all the information. What are irreplaceable are "why" comments telling you why something is done. E.g. "this prints two newline characters at the end of the document" is inferrable, but "print two newline characters because X program is unreliable unless we end with a blank line" is invaluable.
This seems to say a lot about you but not so much about others. You're saying your default opinion is that women wouldn't be good at a technical topic. And that you believe that white people only have two possible opinions coming in to an encounter with a black person: your opinion could be low, or you could be racist.

That's a very limited perspective.
LAX also has the unfortunate problem of being terribly designed. The one way U-ring that goes around the terminals is to narrow for the volume of traffic with plenty of bottlenecks all around. Even with the rideshares removed, getting to the international terminal (at the apex of the U) from the start takes a good 15 - 20 minutes on a busy day just from people dropping off friends and family. It’s a complete boondoggle.
You can touch someone else finger though. You could bite someone else teeth, but yech!
Yes, if you can wait it's probably best to do so. But if you can't wait I imagine an EV bought today will hold its value a lot better than an ICE vehicle.
I don't think having a third party instead of government control would be any better because the Snowden leaks showed us that the intelligence agencies will simply secretly co-opt the service to their own ends.

> To be clear, we have never, as they have alleged, made any requests to access user data or interfere with search results. This claim is baseless and false.

So one of them (but most likely both of them) are being dishonest in their PR plays to get the other side to give in to demands.

But they did help him. I don't see this as a huge indictment on the rep here — they _do_ deal with people who are very ignorant of tech everyday. Maybe it took a while to convince them, but I think that's just as likely a failing of communication.

I'm interested in whether the technologists employed by this company will be able to pull it off. I'm by no means an expert, but my understanding is that in order to support a large scale social network, with typical social network features, the implementer needs to have some pretty robust solutions for a large breadth of different problems/design considerations.

On the one hand, a lot of the technology used (in what I imagine a typical high level social network design would be) is readily available and well understood by actors in the job market (I think?). On the other, assuming there is a wide audience who would be interested in immediately using this product, I wonder if they'll be able to pull it off without being plagued by D(D)oS attacks, targeted hacks, etc etc.

Note: To be clear I'm just riffing on the technical challenges of this undertaking (making a new social network) and not trying to get into a political/ideological argument.

My experience is that higher paid positions have more vacation time, and of course, the person has more money to vacation with. I find that growing up, my extended family used to vacation together more, but now there are groups of cousins that go on vacation together more often simply because they can afford the things they want to do.

There is something about water that tickles the imagination in a way conductive to spiritual/magical thinking. When I read in an Ian Banks novel that Water would form ice under sufficient pressure from gravity regardless of temperature, making hot ice possible....
A few years ago I had a FireTV and Amazon was having the same dispute over youtube. FireTV had a few browser options at the time (Firefox or Amazon Silk) and either one could load youtube. In fact, the youtube app for OTT devices was just a wrapped web experience hosted on youtube.com/tv so it was nearly identical to the app experience.
If you want to states to not get federal gov't funds, you're in agreement with the people who think the scope DC should be reduced and states to do more. So now that you're in agreement, get to enacting those changes.

On your other point, I'll just leave this here:

>“How come the white working class uses government programs while railing against handouts?” Because you are the government. They’ll take what they can, but they’ll be damned if they beg for it. “Why are all these hicks voting for authoritarianism?” Exercise some basic cognitive empathy, please. They’re not voting for authoritarianism. They’re voting for fuck you.

The entire "Jewish space laser" thing was never actually said. She mentioned names of people who are Jewish, but that terminology/connection was made by the media. Nothing she said illuminated this connection in any way.

Oh, I'm German by birth and residence, I have no illusions about the country. But "manufactured in Germany" still somehow evokes a level of quality whereas "manufactured in Poland" sounds like you're saying the quiet part out loud.
Shit like this is why I just run a web browser on a windows PC hooked up to the TV. There is no other platform out there that can handle every streaming service and local media.

Not if simplifying taxes was as easy as paying Intuit the $89/yr toll to not deal with taxes.

Intuit just wants money, they really don't care about taxes or complexity of the tax system. The only reason they care about complex tax code is that they can make money from it. These large businesses of today don't have visions or value creation goals, they have markets, competitors, and revenue streams. Everything else they do is tangential.

If Intuit could continue to make their money or make more money by advocating for simpler taxes they would. We should pass the Intuit Tax Toll bill where everyone is required by law to just throw money at Intuit every year until they go away, except they'll only come back for more... because this is what Intuit and a mountain of existing businesses would foam at the mouth for, a world where they were just handed money.

I have two of their sample players (one for Garritan products, and their free sfz player), I've got Bidule (which is a semi-modular environment where you can combine processing units and plugins in complex graphs; a bit like Reaktor), and recently bought the OPS7, because it sounds so damn authentic and is fun to play with: it has two layers, so you get something similar to the DX-1/5 sound.
Buying books online is a counterexample if anything. Books are a great product to sell online because they're relatively compact, there are a ton of them (way too many to have them all in a single physical bookstore), and two copies of the same new book are generally undifferentiated (unlike, say, produce). At least based on the way Bezos and other early insiders talk about it decades later, Amazon was never intended to be just a bookstore, but they were pretty intentional about starting with books.
