I think you missed the Trig Tablets article earlier this month..

Of course! I love these launch posts, they are one of my favorite parts of HN. One other question for you, sparked in part by your response - any plans on your roadmap to support any other (non-Western?) languages for any of the APIs? Chi

This passage (from another one of the articles on top of HN right now ( https://www.wired.com/2015/11/null#tpw) ) generates an error when trying to use the Sapien demo: "As a technology journalist, being a Nu

Interesting - having seen the linked TED talk, I immediately understood. Maybe worth a watch?

It's interesting the assumptions you make about when I see my kids, how much I see my kids and how I balance that with a job I deeply enjoy. Also interesting to see the assumptions made about what kind of people are passionate enough

Do you see the circularity in your reasoning? A machine can't be held responsible because it's not a legal person..and it's not a legal person because it can't be held responsible. You also claim that some legal persons

Law: do not kill. Machine kills. It has broken the law, and would, presumably, be subject to asset seizure, temporary deactivation, or, in extreme cases, permanent termination. Much like how other 'persons' break the law and ar

And why can't it be held responsible? Presumably, it would have assets that could be seized. Further, as it approaches Strong AI, it might even react to 'deterrence' in the the same way that other 'persons' do.

The machine is free to declare other persons the benificiary of any business activities should it decide that is in its best interest.

Read the link, and tell me what Indian law has to do with NZ declaring a river a person.

The machine, obviously. Same way a corporation is named when they refuse to pay a bill. In our modern world, natural persons are merely a subset of 'persons'. No reason machines couldn't be included in the broader set. Ri

Can a machine not hire a lawyer? I can't successfully fight in court on my own behalf..what makes a machine different?

by crgt 10y ago
If a river can be declared a person, it's not clear to me why a machine can't also be a legal person. Or, for that matter, if corporations have legal personhood, why not machines? http://www.economist.com/news&#

If you like FF9, you may like FF BraveExvius too; it's also cross-platform and has a healthy user base.

My wife saved my life by making me go to the doctor when I scoffed at it. Wear sunscreen folks.

Are you sure this is the case in all states? My understanding is that some states are 1-party consent, tho IANAL. Edit: This seems to back up my understanding that most states are 1-party consent. http://www.dmlp.org/legal

I guess I was thinking about it in the context of saving up six months of living expenses. If rent is 4k+ you have to skip a lot lunches to save enough to cover that for six months with no income..

by crgt 10y ago
Right. And, at least for a family, rent is 3k-4k+. Where's the real cash drain?

by crgt 10y ago
All that's required for living paycheck to paycheck in the Bay Area is a willingness to pay exorbitant rent. The other stuff is a distraction from the real cash drain.

Actually NE Journal of Medicine says that mass smoking cessation would increase total health care costs in long run. So not sure the logic for the disincentives, other than paternalism run amok. "If people stopped smoking, there wou

I know it's not PC in SV to say so, but I REALLy hate sin taxes. Smokers die younger, have fewer of the oh-so expensive end-of-life years, cost less as a result and yet still are social pariahs who have the privilege of paying extra ta

As an example - we use Crashalytics at work. Even if Google built a parity product, we wouldn't have switched; Crashalytics was a known entity with few pain points. So if Google wanted our data (and others like us..) the only way to

Real problems...like HTML email themes? That's a lot of snark directed at other folks' hobbies from someone that seems to get paid for making spam pretty. Glass houses and all that.
