These countries have big population and using AI universal basic income can be made possible back home.

This is why Chinese are acquiring AI expertise.


I wonder how much money Tron has in total.


It's just an hour so far. Give it more time.


Most people don't suck with vocabulary. They suck with making native sounding phrases!

They suck with the phonems!

I've absolute pitch. I can speak any language exactly how a native person would speak.

My wife knows more languages than me, yet she sounds like a foreigner based on feedback we received while traveling in multiple countries.

Most people even if they've fluency in a language will still sound like a foreigner.

Now, if you've absolute pitch you can differentiate between different pitched sound and match native speakers.

Most people can't do that!


1. You don't feel like offensive hacker while running legitimate business.

2. Legitimate business requires more than just talent! If you don't know people in power, don't have the required connections, good luck getting necessary permits etc..

3. Starting capital due to compliance requirements is much higher! It pretty much excludes everyone who isn't coming from an Ivy league.

4. There is a very high probability that even if you've all the resources you might fail.

5. Government officials might as well take over your company anytime. (In former Soviet countries and corrupt third world countries, government officals do takeovers your business)

Simply money, isn't enough in itself. VCs also bring top level connections, including people who will serve as executives in future with intimate connection to Goverment.

These guys don't have anything else other than cheap labor (which will do anything provided it doesn't have to do with messing with the authorities of the countries they are living in) and their own skill.


Wow! So basically, someone managed to risk police offier lives with their ill thought out plan and people on HN are applauding them?

What should a police crew use against a criminal equipped with high caliber armor piercing guns?


Gun control legislation.


> What should a police crew use against a criminal equipped with high caliber armor piercing guns?

The Army?


I wonder how this policy would interact with something like the Posse Comitatus Act.

Would it effectively require applying the label "terrorist" or "national security threat" to any criminal who shows they are prepared to use lethal force against a law enforcement officer?


Yeah, life isn't "Die Hard", if someone is using "high caliber armor piercing guns" against the local PD, then classifying them as "domestic terrorists" and calling in specialists to deal with them seems appropriate to me.

Police have to deal with enough crap that they shouldn't be expected to handle paramilitary situations as well, is what I'm saying.

As a counterexample, remember the "Bundy standoff"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bundy_standoff That's the kind of situation where the Posse Comitatus Act means you don't send in the Army. However, if they had shot a bunch of people I'm sure they would have had to face at least the National Guard, eh?


I wonder when will Russia do the same.


It doesn't have that much money.


He only lived in Netherlands, he wasn't dutch. I think you talk about this guy: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lorenzo-green-86161610/


I don't know, could be. He was masked, anonymous and spoke Dutch.


I've IQ of 90 (taken it multiple times) which is considered below average on Standford Binnet test.

I didn't do good at school but i had many friends! I never felt i was less intelligent than my friends which make me question the IQ score thing.

My Dad has high IQ (135) and he's a mathematician.

So how did i inhert low IQ? My mom's score is average at best, 102.

I've sold 3 companies, i am married and I've managed to be quite wealthy.

You don't need to posses high intelligence to survive and reproduce in this world that's why it's not selected for.

We don't walk out of womb and given a puzzle to solve where if we fail, we are instantly killed.


Right so you're getting into deeper questions of what intelligence really means, and whether our measurements are meaningful in practical terms. Even if it was possible to genetically engineer humans with much higher IQs (and that is yet to be proven), there's still no evidence that those hypothetical supermen would end up ruling over us or having more children or whatever.


So by hacking GitHub, now laws can be changed?

I want sentences to be GitHub as well, so that an inmate can hack github to change his sentence.
