> In a single instance of the prisoner’s dilemma, the best strategy is to defect — squeal on your partner and you’ll get less time.

No, that is not right, if it was there would be no dilemma, and this subject would not be discussed ad nauseam. The whole point is that the situation is symmetrical for both players, they should reach the same conclusion and act the same way... and using the strategy of cooperation their outcome is better than defecting.

For better or worse, OCW's remit was to publish materials about MIT's courses that would be useful to other teachers. Anything beyond that, like what you tried to do, is gravy.

Now if edX, contrary to everything we've heard in this discussion, doesn't do the right thing, they have a much stronger case. But that's not the case they're making in the PR thuggery, and I thank you for confirming one part of what I suspected.

And just to be crystal clear, OCW is pretty much out of money and mandate, it's mostly in maintenance mode (already past its budgeted life, now begging for cash). The best outcome of this is that such lectures will be picked up by edX and properly captioned. The more likely one is that they'll be pulled altogether, although we hope copies will be captured before that happens.

Objectivism (Rand's philosophy) didn't defend a society comprised of people with no obligations toward each other. Like most libertarians/classical liberal philosophies, it supports the NAP[1], as well as defending the necessity of an impartial law system.

It just defends negative rights, instead of positives ones, not a lack of rights and obligations. See Isaiah Berlin's Two Concepts of Liberty[2].

EDIT to your EDIT: in Hobbes' state of nature, everyone has the right do to whatever one thinks is necessary for one's own preservation (including, say, killing others). For Rand, one has the right to not be attacked by others, even if that goes reduces the others' chances of self-preservation. The two are very different, and the latter does impose (negative) obligations on individuals towards others.

I recommend The E-Myth, a book that taught me to not only love process, but enjoy developing processes, evolving them, and training people up to work with them:

It's accessible and realistic, and a good starting point for getting your mind in the right place.
I think we have to face that the FDA is incompetent and corrupt. Getting a drug approved is more dependent on how much money you want to spend than on whether it works. Some drugs that may be effective are delayed for years and years ( http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/02/05/for-a-l-s-patients-... ) while other drugs that don't work are approved as being effective.

I imagine it's along the same lines as when everything looks blue after you take off pink ski goggles. I read a study where people wearing glasses that flipped everything upside down would eventually start to see normally, and then after taking the goggles off had upside down vision for a while.

This seems to suggest that your brain has an intrinsic expectation of what the world should look like, either built in by evolution or from year of experiencing the world a certain way. I wonder what sorts of things are filtered from our perception because they don't correspond with the brain's expectation of reality.

Sandstorm tries to encourage web publishing apps to work in a way that significantly reduces resource usage and improves security. The platform will let an app publish a static web site which does not require starting up the app to serve. The platform also lets an app expose an API which starts up the app on-demand. So the app can publish a bunch of static content which includes Javascript that invokes the API when needed (e.g. when a comment is posted), which then wakes up the app to update the static content.

But, yeah, for a fully-dynamic web site served to a large number of users, Sandstorm currently isn't well-suited. It'll get there eventually, but given that other platforms (like Portal) already cover this use case pretty well, we wanted to focus on the interesting things we can do with fine-grained containers.
Regulatory capture is pretty much inevitable. In almost any field, the skills needed for government regulators to evaluate claims are interchangeable with the skills needed to work in the field.

The only thing that will help is strong whistleblower protections, to allow the ethical members of a profession to call bullshit without fear of repercussion. (This won't work in banking, for obvious reasons :P )
Perhaps this proposed drug testing regime would be more comparable to auditing firms.[1] Arthur Andersen went under after it lost credibility in the eyes of shareholders, as a result of the Enron scandal. On the other hand, from everything I have read the ratings agencies were simply 'going through the motions', and cashing in on their government mandated service. No large investors trusted the ratings agency to begin with, the investors were all gaming the system, and the agencies were playing along to get a piece of the action.[2]

The misconduct itself is not surprising, given that all drug studies required for drug approval are performed by the company seeking the approval. The cover-ups are also not surprising, given that industry insiders go back and forth between jobs in Industry, and running the FDA.
Depending on the risks a somewhat random strategy can work out really well. IE if both defect they both get 10 years if none defect both get 9 years, and if one defects the other gets 15 years. Now if they both defect 10% of the time the 19% of the time there better off collectively as 9+9 > 15 saving 3 years and 1% of the time there worse off by 2 years collectively.
I was able to only participate in a small amount of it, and came away with significant value in increased understanding.

Not only that. If you take that approach to an extreme one e fs up a hermit or worse a selfreinfocing mentality.

1. The more dimensions in your parameter space the longer it will take to find an optima in general. Something like grid search is exponential in the number of dimensions while we find that in practice our methods are closer to linear (something around 2D - 10D, where D is the number of dimensions). While there is no explicit "limit" to the number of parameters (in the code or algorithm) we tend to see the best results when they are < 20 as Peter Frazier suggests as it allows us to find an optima much quicker (in the number of samples).

2. You provide a single metric (Overall Evaluation Criterion) to SigOpt, this can be a combination of many sub-objectives. We talked a little about this in the MOE docs [1] and are happy to help people brainstorm on the best objectives. This is a very important part of the process as Microsoft points out in a recent paper (section 3.1) [2].

3. We can give you back experimental designs with n>1 points. We condition on any outstanding experiments being run too. Some of this work was developed in my thesis [3]. We have some docs on this too [4].

4. We do support the notion of "untunable" parameters in beta (releasing soon). In a given experiment if you know you need to use a specific chemical we can hold that constant while optimizing the other free parameters so that you can run a single batch with that specific constraint (or a set of constraints). I think this covers what you are asking, but I am happy to dive deeper if not. I'd be happy to help you set up one of these experiments if you are curious.

And more importantly, given that no one is ever held responsible. No one goes to jail. Again.

Punishment is supposed to be disincentive to crime. With no punishment, what's wrong with lying, cheating, stealing, and killing?
Why do you think they're similar? Is it actually specific enough that it couldn't apply to Pythonic duck typing, or Java interfaces?
I understand that model as the interpretation for inflation, but why do we presume the "balloon" is continuing to inflate at the same rate or faster today than it did in the past?

It also makes me wonder how we can equate distance to time in a 1:1 ratio. If space is expanding exponentially, then it almost seems like the distance a photon can travel in a given time is decreasing (from the perspective of the observer). I'm probably just confusing myself though.
Thought experiment: Let's say hypothetically scientists discovered a drug or "vaccine" that a pregnant woman could take, which would guarantee that a male child of hers would not be gay (I'm operating under the assumption that homosexuality is caused by genetic or environmental factors and is not a free choice of the individual).

Would you be opposed to pregnant women taking this drug?

>We barely get any donations. We barely have money
That's relative and your wording is slippery here. What is "barely no money"? $50? $100? In any case, donated money should be dealt with in a better way. Even an ex-member of the foundation (Proplex) had a big issue with this. He actually left because of the shady way you dealt with money and, since then, nothing changed.

>we are very transparent about it, look at our donations page.
That page tell barely nothing and is outdated. What's the money being spent on? Who's the financial manager? As a donator, how can I be sure my money is being spent on Tox and not on personal servers, vacations, etc. by the Tox Foundation leaders? There were rumors about that, and although I don't believe them, this is a serious issue anyway.

>He disappeared one day, didn't warn us or anything and took everything (including backups) with him.
And on the same day you started harassing him, without even listening to his side of the story? And what do you mean with backups? You are saying you or other project members didn't keep local backups? That would be an amateur mistake to make.

>Yes because I wanted to know if he had done anything weird on the site
And the NSA just wants to know if we had done anything weird on their country. /sarcasm
Do you think that justifies spying on him?

>We never considered breaking into his account
But you said the following at #tox-secret on January 14th: "urras, if you want to forcefully gain access to his digital ocean account I can reset his pass" SOURCE: https://archive.today/Y6LEw (line 45)

>His tox.im mail was never remade on the new tox.im mail server so all emails sent to it ended up in our catch all email
As soon as he left the project you should have deleted his @tox.im email account or at least temporarily disabled it. It's unethical to keep receiving (and reading) emails that were meant to someone else.

>I'm a member of the Tox foundation and I don't sneak in copyright changes in my repo

We should add that we are using Gravatar to our Wiki. It's not obvious for people who aren't already using Gravatar what's going on.
It's not a matter of "thinking about it"; captioning is difficult and expensive, and if we force universities to caption educational materials they release * for free *, we're incentivizing them to never release these materials again.
My memory says that Choi claimed N^6 in theory, but could be reduced to N^3 in practice. I can't find the reference, so best assume I'm just wrong here :)

> At worst, it is as expensive as points-to analysis,

I think we're just using different words here: when people discuss escape analysis, I think they tend to mean running an algorithm which has been referred to as such in the literature (usually Choi's) - in which case it's unlikely to be as fast as a mature pointer analysis. One can certainly take a mature pointer analysis and use the results to determine escape sets and do the same optimizations of course, which I think is what you're saying. Is that what Go does?

> As for what to do, it's not a dichotomy.

Why do both if the improved GC negates the need for stack allocation? That is, if you had an amazing GC, would you bother with SA?
Math is mostly about practice. You learn it by doing it. Data structures are much the same way.
I kinda want to write a Go playing program in Go named "GoGo" just to mess with people.
Show HN: ShredReel – A collaborative platform for snow sports videos
The issue here is slightly different. As the law works, there is absolutely a lot wrong with lying, cheating, stealing and killing if you are poor or black.

White billionare? Nope. You can literally rape your toddler daughter and go free because the judge feels you would "not fare well in prison." (DuPont heir).

Large corporation? Lol. The attorney general will argue on your behalf instead of bringing a case against you. (JP Morgan).
Hello friends!

I want to introduce ShredReel to you all which just went live a few weeks ago. ShredReel is a collaborative platform for organizing, finding, and sharing videos from the ski slopes.

ShredReel allows you to upload unedited videos from any camera (GoPros, smartphones, point & shoots) and tag friends, tricks, locations, bloopers, basically anything done on skis or a snowboard using a vast set of pre-defined tags. You can also search and filter by any of those tags so it’s easy to find videos featuring specific actions or at specific locations. It allows you to perform cross-sectional searches of different tags (basically like a pivot table (for my Excel nerds) for videos). This is actually why the site was created - it is very difficult to find videos of specific actions since you are at the mercy of the person titling the video.

Lets say you did a 360 rotation on skis, you would add the tag for a 360, but if you didn't land it, you could also add the tag for bloopers. If you also did a a grab, you can add a tag for a grab as well. That moment will then show up on all searches for 360s, bloopers, and grabs. The best section will most likely be the bloopers as I'm sure you can imagine.

We are still trying to get more content up there so pardon the fact that videos are sparse. I would love any feedback this talented community has to offer!

Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks!
If you want to give away something for free, why should you be forced to spend time and effort (and possibly money) to increase the value of your free offering?

Can you see why this would have a stifling effect on giving things away for free?

What would be the net gain to the world - is it better to have only a few free things that are accessible, or have many free things, only a fraction of which are accessible?

Making things accessible isn't free. Somebody has to pay. Forcing the producer to pay will reduce production. It's that simple.
>No-one is saying that anyone should be forced to do anything.

This lawsuit is literally about forcing the universities to pay to caption the educational materials they release for free.
You'd never expect such a language to have corner cases on method calling. Makes you realize that something mundane looking can have complex side-effects.
Awesome to hear that. You guys seem to have the same motivations, so I'm sure we can make everything play nicely together.

I'm now very curious which companies have managed to survive major ownership changes in their nation-of-business, and whether there was continuity of management/shareholdership in those cases or not. Hong Kong would probably be pretty easy to study for that.

According to D. Gabriel, the imperative forms were added later to seduce scientists used to FORTRAN algorithms. But Steele's interview of McCarthy makes it clear that Lisp is more a natural accident turning into compressed carbon than the implementation of an apriori concept.
Wow, it seems amazing.
The history of astronomy is filled with people figuring out how to measure apparently-impossible-to-measure things. For example, how would you go about measuring the distance to the sun? (Keep in mind that you're not allowed to use things we derived from that measurement and take for granted now.)

When you look at a galaxy from 5 billion years ago, you're not looking at it as it was including the light shift. The red-shift they're talking about is not from the initial difference in velocity, it's from the wave length being stretched by the expansion of space as the light travels.

For example, the wikipedia article about the accelerating expansion [1] mentions things like:

> the distance-redshift relation deviates from linearity, and this deviation depends on how the expansion rate has changed over time

If the universe decided to suddenly increase in size by 1% over the next hour, all the already-travelling light would arrive with a 1% larger wavelength. If it had suddenly increased in size by 1% a billion years ago, the already-travelling light would get just that 1% larger wavelength but also 1% more travel time for stretching out to occur over. So if you have an independent way of determining distance... a lot of information falls out of that red-shift-vs-distance plot.
