I wasn't aware there was really anyone in #2. I also don't think "Trust X" is an atomic unit that you can permute over (i.e. there are significant further divisions). I'm rather liberal by the standards of the average American when it comes to the role of gov't in the economy (mostly because I have an actual education in economics), and yet for things like government surveillance, I'm as opposed as they come. Those two things are conflated in "Trust BigGov".

I'm aware you were simplifying a little, but I think that's more than an insignificant divide.

Realised I should have linked to http://hypothesis.readthedocs.org/en/master/internals.html to back up that "a whole bunch of things even quickcheck doesn't" claim. :-)
The NYMag article linked within describes exactly why rational people should be scared of those who state obsessive desires to torture and kill people, especially when they've chosen their targets. Two close friends of the profiled from their torture forum: "[Robert] Asch [former school librarian, previously accused of molesting four boys] brought with him a bag containing a Taser, meat hammer, skewers, and a dental retractor." There are few times I'm happy to see intervention by a federal agent but imminent torture and murder is one. His buddy and accomplice arrested for the same scheme, Richard Meltz, is a police chief who used his access to gather data about potential victims.

Valle himself is a cop who stalked his intended female victims on paid time using police resources. He described graphically how he wanted to torture, dismember, and kill them. One was his wife and several were women he knew previously who didn't reciprocate his sexual interest. He gave out their identifying details, which he obtained using his position of authority, to a bunch of psychopaths who are clearly willing to act.

These are all specific, credible threats of murder. If the power dynamics were different I wonder how this thread would go down? If, instead of a message board for men wishing to kill women, it were a message board for Muslims wanting to kill Christians, would you react the same way? What if specific people have been targeted - would you defend the aggressor's right to free speech over the targeted's right to live? What if the aggressor's friends were found carrying everyone they needed to torture and kill the targeted? Would you really defend that free speech?

Start A Startup On Your Honeymoon
Allowing clients to filter sounds great until you look at the volumes of spam that major (and even minor) email service providers handle. SMTP-time rejection is the only feasible way to handle it.

What you're seeing (and a conversation I've had numerous times, particularly with some individuals who seem to think it's all some Vast Conspiracy Against Personal Communications) is simply the challenges of dealing with email on a scale where you've got more peers than most people have email contacts -- where a peer is another peering email system.

It turns into a reputation management system. And it's a lot easier to deal with those reputations when you've got a handful of major public providers (Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, Aol, Inbox, etc.), and a few thousand major corporations. Once you get outside of the Fortune 500, even corporate emails get hard to deal with. At Krell Power Systems, we had a customer who required us to provide our email server IPs (already listed in both SPF and DKIM, natch) before they'd allow mail from us. The fact that they run a few machines powered by U-235 and are concerned about SCADA threats might have something to do with that level of paranoia.

But allowing all spam through, storing it, and relying on users / client software to filter it is expansive and quite error prone. The good thing about SMTP-time rejection is that it's unambiguous: any well-formed server will recognize that it's failed delivery, and in most cases the message is immediately bounced back to the sender. Accepting email and later trying to determine whether or not it's legitimate risks spoofing, Joe-Jobs, and silently-lost messages. That's actually far worse.

Much as I wish everyone could simply run their own servers, with systems as they stand now, it's just not possible.
No, the problem is figuring out whether or not to punish the sender.

If it's obviously spam, the sender's IP needs to be blacklisted, his hosting account terminated, etc. in order to protect other people.

If the recipient just changed his mind about whether he wants to receive a newsletter that he explicitly signed up for less than a week ago, there is no need to punish the sender. The sender just needs to be notified that the recipient unsubscribed.

I don't know about you, but if all the social networks, instant messengers, and "we're gonna replace email" startups in the world went dark for 24 hours, I probably wouldn't even notice. They're all but useless to me, after all. But if my email went down for 24 hours, I'd definitely make a big fuss about it. Ditto if someone makes the wrong decision about which senders to block.
Google starts ads on gmail
And everything works just peachy. Until it doesn't.

The problems are that:

1) the determination of "works well" or "doesn't" is almost entirely out of your hands. A DNSBL or major email service provider decides they don't like the tilt of your kilt and it's titsup.com for you. Been there, done that, shredded the t-shirt.

2) How much of a problem this becomes is a matter of who's inconvenienced, how much, and what alternative contact channels they've got. Generally, though, it's something of a PITA.

Things can work well for a long time. Or not. You're just never quite sure when they'll blow up.

Perhaps it's a head mounted display and all that geometry, the desks and walls and stuff on the desks, is built into the game level. If they really have a holographic display that's super thin, it seems like the rest could be hacked around.

As far as the grunting, how is it any different than having a Nerf gunfight or pingpong or whatever people are into at the office?
If you had head mounted cameras, they could feed depth info to layer the UI, as you say. And if the display is covering your eyes completely, then feeding video in...? We don't get to see what the guy looks like, just what he's seeing. Maybe he's got 15lbs of Heath Robinson equipment on his head.

It's democracy, right? So then I would suggest rallying people to your cause, and trying to force some sort of adhoc vote/referendum from your leaders. If you get some sort of majority with you to participate in a concerted effort, and still your leaders deny you your voice. Well, then, you're not in a democracy, my friend. Not even a representative one.
If you look at hiring forms in Big Companies... There are checkboxes for Degree as well as PhD. It is common for managers to simply tick a box and send to HR / Recruiting firm.

IMHO your comment was informative and did not deserve downvotes.

ElectricFeel's comment may well signal a shift in Linux desktop adoption, in that the less-technical public enters the game. IMHO this is an Ubuntu success story. He's an Ubuntu user that probably does not even know what Debian is, and though this isn't good in itself, it might be good for GNU/Linux adoption. We all called for the "year of the Linux desktop" but due to various reasons, there aren't enough users, so it didn't materialise yet. But there is hope. And KDE is going the right way. I love it. IMHO Kubuntu 15.04 will rock!
It's OpenVZ, not full virtualization. That means you have no control over the kernel (e.g. can' t upgrade it, can't fully reboot), and it's said - but I can't vouch for it - that it's more susceptible to "bad neighbors".

They have full virtualization (the VPS Cloud plans), but it's much more expensive.

Here's a thread on Lowendtalk about VPS Classic plans: http://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/37835/ovh-classic-1-vps...
Very little.

It has everything, however, to do with all of the images served from that domain which people use to execute software on their machines.
I didn't downvote you, but I suspect it's because this whole comment thread is about trying to determine whether or not the video is real footage of Magic Leap's tech. Asserting that it is or it isn't, without something to back up that assertion, isn't all that helpful. Nowhere in the video description does it say that it's just a concept.
The filter by single country is not particularly useful. I'd like to search by all countries (or checkbox some of them) instead of having to perform N searches to find who's the best provider.
Thanks for explaining your views. My intent was not to spark a flame war, I've heard quite a few critiques of less wrong but most of the authors expressed their disagreement without explaining what they disagreed with (perhaps it was obvious to them).

It's worth noting Peter Jackson has made an entire documentary on a forgotten genius of the New Zealand film industry that turned out to be a (good-natured) hoax. I'm perfectly prepared to believe the guy responsible for Forgotten Silver would have a team around him who might do the same for VR.
I think anyone who has issues distinguishing between virtual reality and the real world will have issues regardless of whether or not they play these types of games. I don't think there is any study out there showing that violent video games make people any more violent.
This isn't the first antibody therapy that tries to reduce plaques (Bapineuzumab, solanezumab, gantenerumab, crenezumab, etc.), but is it the first one to "work" correctly, but still fail? I don't believe so. I think bapineuzumab also showed early promise at reducing plaques, though I don't remember if they did a cognitive analysis that Biogen did here.

Don't get me wrong. I think this is the most promising one we've had, if for no other reason than the method used to develop it. They took people who lived into old age without Alzheimer's, and found antibodies from them that targeted Abeta (so they claim). Really cool stuff, if true, and very promising.

I don't even understand the purpose of a video like this. The only thing it tells me is what Magic Leap hopes their tech will some day achieve.

Blatantly conceptual and given that it's being released in lieu of in-person presentations, one can only assume that they didn't want to have to publicly explain it.
It also changed my perception of both John Carmack and John Romero. The latter sometimes gets picked on for not being the engine guy and for Daikatana, but Johnwas writing level editors, compression apps, and massive amounts of tooling work allowing Carmack to focus exclusively on the engine. He also waded through a flooded lake to get to work one day.

The video credits list Weta prominently - that's alone is a significant signal. The guns are props from Weta too: https://www.wetanz.com/rayguns/

CEO Rony Abovitz, who was supposed to go onstage at the TED conference in Vancouver on Wednesday, has canceled his talk. Why would a CEO cancel such a high profile talk and release that video afterwards?

I tested two state of the art augmented reality glasses (university research prototypes) last year. The glass was connected (via cable) to a workstation PC with several high end NVidia graphic cards. One also used Xbox Kinect to track the environment and the arms. Everything shown in the video is already possible, but not with that perfect visual quality and without any latency.

It's not clear because it's subjective. You and I would prefer if security and privacy were more prioritized, but the reality is that services that put an emphasis on such things have been available for decades, and they have been a flop outside of very specific audiences.

I'm not saying this excuses the industry, but that doesn't change incentives. If you want more secure services, you need to change the preferences of the users.

Last I heard about D-Wave, official word was something along the lines of "There's something interesting going on in this machine (even though it's not quite what our models lead us to expect from a quantum computer), and it's better than regular hardware at some classes of problems, but we're not sure what's going on, or exactly why it's better.".

Of all the skepticism, the two most reasonable ones are
- quality of the headmounted transparent display. This doesn't even seem to be Magic Leap's core competency and the tech required for a HMD to reach this level of quality is far beyond anything we've seen before.
- real-time computation power on a battery powered wearable. It would run incredibly hot and drain so much power unless the guy was wearing a giant battery/CPU backpack covered in exhaust fans.

For the other things,
1. The room geometry could have been prescanned and coded in
2. hand-tracking could have used an additional wearable sensor on the hand
3. the AR systems could have been optimized for recognizing the gun (I have worked with systems capable of that) for highly accurate and fast real-time tracking of a non-malleable object
4. and the interactive 3D graphics given knowledge of the room (surface geometry and lighting) is not a big deal at all.

The acting (such as recoil on the gun) is a bit overdone and obviously has nothing to do with the technology itself, and I find it weird that the AR actually seems to assume you'd recoil that much and animates the shots as such.
> Define "legitimate reasons".

For the most part, pretty much anything that isn't against a standard terms of service.

> There are plenty of people who are totally legit that have "unpopular" opinions or are worried about crazed trolls.

I agree and understand. Those folks aren't who I'm worried about.

My biggest concern is the "abusive" folks, to be honest. Abuse of any type wouldn't be tolerated at all but I am all for freedom of {expression,speech,...} and wouldn't care what the service was being used for as long as it was legal.

Requiring a deposit isn't something I had thought of before but that might very well be a good "deterrent".
There is a markedly difference in resolution between the real world and the AR stuff.

Especially when the actor scrolls through his mail, his hand is a very low resolution and the mails are a very high resolution.

I suspect this is a major signal of it being fake.

.prepend wouldn't be able to use the : magic; once you're used to it "x :+ y"/"x +: y" is more intuitive than "x append y"/"x prepend y" because in the first example x always ends up before y.

> As far as :: versus :::, depending on type inference it can be a much more later error that is confusing. The type error messages are cryptic compared to what it could say. Worse, if you then take it and serialized it to JSON or something then you won't even get a compile error

Which is why you should use wartremover and strict compile flags ( https://tpolecat.github.io/2014/04/11/scalac-flags.html ), so that won't happen. (It would be nice to make these things completely illegal by default, but not nice enough to break backward compatibility over)

> I really am failing to see why you're defending this. It's like trying to defend programming without a debugger because you have printf. Why not make things clearer, always? Why can't error messages be easier to understand and more human friendly? Shouldn't that be the goal?

I think people really underestimate the value of conciseness. The difference between a function or class that fits on one screen and one that doesn't is really huge. For commonly-used operations, I'd rather pay the upfront cost of learning the symbols and be able to read shorter code forever.

Of course there's a tradeoff, and I do think certain scala libraries lean too far to the symbolic side. Sometimes I like to think about a programming language that didn't allow any symbols (e.g. you'd write arithmetic like "(1 plus 2) times 3"). But the extra characters aren't free.
