This has been the norm since computers could play board games. I read Blondie24[0] about a year back about 2 guys who build a complicated neural network for a checkers program which teaches itself to play by playing against itself and is eventually entered into 'Human' tournaments. It's a really fast read even if you have no experience in AI.

There is also Deep Blue[1], which is famous for once defeating Garry Kasparov in a high profile match.

Reducto ad absurdum! We're not talking about the same thing with full access to anyone's memory here. We're talking about boundaries that if you have control over your software should be handled the way you want anyway.

The type of flexibility that Ruby allows make it a really interesting language. In 99.999% of cases people never use all these features and it's considered bad form to do so.

Ruby is one of those languages that depends a lot on cultural queues to work so well but unlike other languages it doesn't enforce everything on you. It's a tradeoff and it is by no means better than other languages, just different and pleases certain developers more than other languages.
> At the present time, yes, there's a high correlation. But 15,000 years ago, there were no laws, yet humans still engaged in mutual cooperation.

Depending on how you look at it, either "law" exists even in primate tribes, or what they do can't be considered "mutual cooperation." That is to say you can either consider the will of the dominant male and the acquiescence of the other primates to be a form of law, or you have to concede that a tribe working in such conditions is not really engaging in mutual cooperation.

In any case, law isn't "just the way we currently try" to achieve mutual cooperation. It's coincident with civilization. We have legal codes dating back 4,000 years. Law is how we scale cooperation from small bands lead by a dominant male to countries of 300 million people.

> If both of us can realize greater gains from mutual cooperation and trade than we can from each being isolated individuals, then we have an incentive to mutually cooperate even without any other enforcement mechanism.

You can always achieve greater gains by cooperating only up to the point where it's most advantageous for you.

The only way I can see a reporter getting this totally wrong is some confusion of farmers that rent their land versus the actual owners. A lot of farmers in the region are making quite a bit of cash, but the ones who are renting the land (it happens, a couple gets too old and doesn't have children that farm) are not getting paid mineral rights. Hell, a lot of family homesteads are paying out to the kids in different places.

It should also be noted that their was an earlier non-fracking boom in the area and many of the mineral rights were leased then.

How to give good feedback, and why it matters
Stealing is indeed stealing, but this isn't stealing. It's unauthorised use of a computer service. The unauthorised user isn't permanently (and unlawfully, without permission) depriving someone of something they own, so it isn't theft.

"Stealing" carries meaning and emotional reactions than are not applicable in this case. Yes, it's wrong; no, it isn't theft.
Path is been out for how long now? Flipboard? Still mobile only. Of course, that depends on what you mean by "long term strategies" but in the internet startup world I strategies don't tend to be that long term.
Hm, what about APIs for desktop use (eg, Windows APIs)? I think I see where you're going but this doesn't seem to hold water as it's stated.
Long long ago in a universe not too far away, there used to be interest awarded on savings.

However, most people didn't realize that the quantity of money was being increased because they had not figured out the workings of the Federal Reserve, or what M2 is. Inflation ate away almost all of their interest right in front of their backs.
Well, now you just need big pipes for data.
Loved that article, it is an excellently crafted critique of Kickstarter (general interest) which is melded to a call to action for their rejected Kickstarter (Bytelight). So at one level it reads "Kickstarter rejected us, we're bummed we don't have all their eyeballs, we used the Lockitron example to try to fund our product design."

When I saw Kickstarter I had the same feeling I had about Ebay (although initially Ebay weathered its risk storm) which was given the larger audience for the product (Ebay occasional sales, Kickstarter small investment) you could get better results than the customer could on their own. And people abused EBay too (selling stolen or counterfeit goods, ripping off buyers when nothing was shipped).

Perhaps there is a 'Craigslist' model of funding referral service to achieve the wide reach but stay hands off enough to keep out of the lawsuits. Ebay's solution to monetizing that was both a listing fee and a selling fee, something Kickstarter could also do (assuming it isn't patented).
Looks like you spec some parts of the node layout & maybe types, and it fits that spec against your data. So no support for fully custom layouts / fitting methods, but you can parameterize with for instance more or less layers or number of hidden units.

Parameterizing & fitting these networks (both in having a good underlying representation, and deciding which actual parameterization to use) gets tricky & requires some domain knowledge when you start doing things like conditional or continuous RBMs.

Completely agree. There's no place for people like her in our society. I hope this kills her career, but I doubt it. Even if he gets fired she still will be corrupting the system in some capacity with her influence. But at least she won't end up with a job like Marsha Blackburn.
Prosecutors routinely use their own discretion in both deciding what to prosecute, and how severe of a sentence they will pursue. To say "Hey, the law is the law, I'm just doing my job by enforcing it" denies this reality, and serves to remove her own agency from her actions.
Yeah, I agree. Things don't even get interesting for me until 30 minutes in.

I wanted it to be attainable for everyone though, even novices with "monkey mind".
I'm sympathetic to that. What I'm arguing is that there shouldn't even have been anything plausible to charge him with that had a penalty that high. It should have been so obvious that what he did was not something that should have had a felony penalty attached that the fact that the law allowed prosecutors to think they could plausibly charge one (to say nothing of thirteen) is a serious failure of the statutes to differentiate in severity between different classes of offense.
Before I read this post I didn't really grasp the if-by-whiskey fallacy. Nice job :)
Something that had a huge positive impact on me financially was getting Quicken. Simply tracking my expenses and the flow of money changed the way I spent.

For one thing, I realized that I wasn't spending too much money eating out (as I'd thought) and so I ate out more.

A lot of silly / pointless spending just disappeared simply by tracking it.

While quicken sucked, and I eventually stopped using it, the habits I developed then have remained.

Another thing that helped a lot was paying myself first. I'd have my paycheck split up on deposit into a savings and checking account. The amount in checking was the spending for household, and the amount in savings had specific purposes. Later I had it set up to also automatically move money into investments.

You get used to just living on the money in your checking account, and the rest accumulates without any actions.

I've generally lived pretty frugal-- which makes it easier to finance doing a startup.

But I've never been deprived. I live in "luxury" because I go see a movie in the theater each week and buy the things that are important to me (and the stuff that really isn't, I just stopped buying.)

A third thing that really helped was reading personal finance books. I found them really interesting and easy to read. The millionaire next door, the wealthy barber, etc. I really liked Timothy' Vicks books on Warren Buffett, and Buffettology.

These, of course, are the gateway drugs to things like Options as a Strategic Investment by McMillion -- a thousand pages on options, and I read most of them!

Ultimately, though, mises.org and "Economics in one lesson" by henry hazlitt gave me enlightenment. The latter can be downloaded free here: http://www.fee.org/library/detail/economics-in-one-lesson-pd...

Also, realizing what my "daily latte" was really worth. Not the $5 at starbucks. Back when I had that habit, it amounted to $5x4 times a week *50 weeks a year = $1,000 in Apple stock bought (When I had the habit in 2007) at $135/share (Close Jan 2, 2008) is now worth $3,740.

$3,740 in Apple stock now is worth more than the pleasure of 4 lattes a week back in 2007. I'd make that trade all day long.

Well this is a bit of a sweeping statement.

I don't think you ALWAYS have to run on your device. Emulators are much faster at launching and getting to it. I use the emulator for a majority of quick fixes, layout changes, API debugging, etc. I move over to the device when things are nearing a point where I need to test real-world things.

Using the emulator is fine, just be sure to test on the device before you deploy.
Looks very nice; way better than most of the other HN apps I've tried (and I've probably tried all of them by now).

Unless something stops working, you'll have a purchase from me pretty soon! Good job!
Xero personal is what I would recommend: https://www.xero.com/personal/
Was this using Unity? I found Unity unusably slow on my old netbook — 5 seconds to open Terminal wasn't too far off the mark. But Xfce was so snappy it made that thing useful again.

I'm not disagreeing with your general point, but I wonder if a lighter DE would make a big difference. (Unless you were already using Xfce, and got the results you describe... that would be bad news.)
That's odd, it loaded up almost immediately for me, with little effort on my part.
Excellent point. While any possibility of an onboard fire is extremely serious, a fan blade escaping engine housing containment and puncturing the wing is also extremely serious. It was only a combination of luck, skilled piloting, and sound aircraft design that kept that 380 in the air.

A modern airliner such a vastly complicated machine that it's simply not possible to create an error free design. The best you can hope for is a safe enough design and competent enough operators to be able to bring the craft safely to ground in the event of a flaw. Combined with a competent regulator in the FAA, I would say that the system is working as designed.

I might be an optimist, but I would have no qualms whatsoever about hopping on one for the first flight after they're allowed back in the air.
Would any of the CommonJS[1] "packages" specs be a good fit for them, or are they all too disparate? Is that even a concern of CommonJS?

It seems like JS could use some sort of working group to address these types of issues, such as PHP with the FIG[2] (Framework Interoperability Group); not sure if CommonJS is it, or could be...

I don't know if it's a law, but it's done differently to the normal filters.

The Internet Watch Foundation provides a list of sites that are involved in images of child sexual abuse. While they're an industry group, they are a bit more serious about their mission than other filter providers.

(http://www.iwf.org.uk/about-iwf)

I guess they were formed to avoid the need for legally mandated filters.
Some friends and I took video and imagery with a globe (at low altitude) this past saturday. We have thousands of images. I spent a day writing an autostitcher that uses Surf, and some affine transforms to merge it correctly. Then I experimented with orthorectifying with elevation data and tie points referenced to Bing and Google satellite. I then used a tiling server to cut it and overlay it to Google Maps. I have not written a blog post about it yet, but was happy to find this to encourage meto write it soon :) Thank you!
I would suggest that what we are missing is credible
Agreed plans to minimise the downside costs

Perhaps these exist, but I would like to see seni-contractural agreements between the regulator and each frakker piblically available with defined milestones so we can be reasonably assured that the damaged being caused is going to be dealt with and done so to a piblically decent timescale

(Yes this is partly what regulators do anyway, but the important part is the transparency - cos we have no expectations regulators are independent of industry)
GP may be referencing "Prometheus Rising"; interesting read, but not highly scientific.
> Our mission includes protecting the use of computers and the Internet by enforcing the law as fairly and responsibly as possible.

What were they protecting them against? That Knowledge might've been spread to those who hadn't the monetary resources to read a bunch of Journals?

Also, I don't think the law was enforced fairly and responsibly, and it was the exact opposite of what occurred -- A bunch of overzealous prosecutors at the helm pushing for a maximum sentence for civil disobedience.
For me, Mint was a terrible experience. They want the passwords to your bank accounts, and even then they never could sync correctly or reliably...
>>>why be so cavalier with the idea of making victims relive that horror against their mature, expressed consent?

Vacri: your comment seems reasonable and educated so I assume that you know the answer to your own question. I'm answering here so that the other folks reading this will also know the answer. I'm not educated about the specifics of the Roman Polanski case, so this is a general comment about the state prosecuting crimes when the victim would like the crime not to be prosecuted.

>>>why be so cavalier with the idea of making victims relive that horror against their mature, expressed consent?

One possibility is the prosecutor "feathering one's own cap" as you said. Another possibility was hinted at in an earlier comment: "prosecutor is representing the state". Convicting an offender of an old crime has the potential to do good things for society. Two of them are:

Bring forth other victims

Create credibility for the claims of future victims("convicted child rapist raped my child" is more believable than "normal upstanding citizen raped my child")

From my understanding, the reason lies in the theories of "crimes of passion/poor judgement" vs "patterns of behavior". If someone commits a crime by accident or in the heat of the moment then certain actions should be taken to explain to them their mistake(e.g. rehabilitation, imprisonment, therapy, probation). If they make a "pattern of behavior" then society can conclude that society doesn't have the tools to convince the offender to end their pattern of offending, and the offender should be physically disallowed from committing future offenses in their pattern:

bad lawyers are restricted from practicing law - "dis-bar-ment"

offending computer users are restricted from using computers
Context: we were all quite when Quora violated our privacy and displayed information about who viewed a question. (see this HN discussion: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4377181)

Now it seems Facebook have silently added a new feature that will show you who viewed a post in a group (you see it even if you are not a member, but only if you are a member it will count your "view")

It might not be as blunt as Quora's feature, but still disturbing, and there seems to be no way to turn it off.
Is that militia well-regulated? I understand that firearms are well- (maybe even over-) regulated, but I'm thinking about the militia itself. My understanding is not as thorough as I would like.

Should you call the singleton on multiple threads, there is a chance you could get inconsistent results based on a race condition. Using GCD ensures that the singleton is truly only created once.
I think open allocation is a key focus which derives from "Management as servant leaders" which is very rarely the case in many organizations (not just big ones).

I've seen plenty of small startups where the CEO-as-king was taken quite literally ("Change the icons to cornflower blue").

Ultimately open allocation comes from a view that upper management (provided you're not Steve Jobs) are not the "deciders" any more than everyone else are. "We should do X because I said so" no longer happens because that's not in your company DNA. Yes, I suppose there will be a stratification of those who can lead and those who can't (as you've written about) but isn't that how it should be?

Once you get around that, awesome things tend to happen. Which is why companies that can do that will continue to kick the crap out of those that can't.
"Is a falsifiable claim. I'm looking forward to Aaron's lawyers' response to this statement."

I'm curious. How is it you've determined that Ortiz is lying on multiple accounts, but that Aaron's lawyer must be dispelling gospel truth?
What an awesome idea. Whatever social functions you incorporate just make sure you keep it fitness-focused!
The courts can and do, particularly when a particular crime specifies that you violate a specific placed prohibition. In Arrons case (without knowing precisely what went on), it may very well be possible to argue that he thought the banning of the mac address was e.g. a warning, an automated trip/response that the administration may not agree with in his deserving case, related to a period of overload on the system (i.e. temporary ban) etc. And the court would need to believe "beyond reasonable doubt" that none of those were the case.
The courts (usually) take a common sense approach like you suggest when your argument of "duuuhhhhhh, they didn't explicitly tell me not to do that" has very little to back it (i.e. no plausible explanation of why you thought it necessary for them to explicitly say it). But backed by a reasonable, or at least feasible, alternative, the courts often side with the defendant.
How Open Is The Future?
I've been reading a book called The Millionaire Next Door (http://www.amazon.com/The-Millionaire-Next-Door-ebook/dp/B00...) and it talks about how people get rich and stay rich, and it has more to do with not-spending money than it does making lots of money.
My ideal language would include: the intuitive-expressive power of ruby, the "explicit is better than implicit" mantra of python, the functional structure of clojure, the malleability and interactivity of lisp, and the unobtrusive static typing of go.
you can either consider the will of the dominant male and the acquiescence of the other primates to be a form of law, or you have to concede that a tribe working in such conditions is not really engaging in mutual cooperation.

I don't think "dominant male" is a valid description of the organization of all pre-civilized human tribes. I agree that the incentive for mutual cooperation is not the only incentive in play; and of course that's just as true now as it was 15,000 years ago.

Law is how we scale cooperation from small bands lead by a dominant male to countries of 300 million people.

I agree with this, and I should have mentioned it in my earlier post. As you note, law was the way mutual cooperation was scaled even when it just involved cities of a few thousand people 4,000 years ago. I was only trying to point out that the incentives for mutual cooperation are logically prior to the means used to facilitate it.

Also, of course, scaling mutual cooperation is not the only thing law is used for; it is also used to facilitate rent-seeking and other non-cooperative behaviors. That was true 4,000 years ago as well.

You can always even greater gains by cooperating only up to the point where it's most advantageous for you.

If the interaction is non-iterated, yes. In an iterated interaction you can't--or rather, you can, but the other person will just retaliate by ceasing to cooperate, and you both will be worse off than you would have been if you had continued to mutually cooperate. See the Prisoner's Dilemma.

(Btw, I'm not claiming that this doesn't happen. I'm just claiming that it is not actually a gain in the long run.)
Sometimes it takes a while to herd wild cats.

I hope there will be less arguments of "...but standards are bad..." this time around.

Why would Apple want to restrict tethering? It is the carriers that want to restrict it in order to continue charging differently for different bits on the wire.

Apple obviously provide the infrastructure for enabling/disabling tethering but I cannot see how it is in their interest to discourage it, except to keep the carriers happy.
