VEX is arguably the manifestation of this philosophy. The team I mentor has multiple VEX teams along with a flagship FRC team. VEX offers a good deal of the excitement, learning opportunities, and more student autonomy for a small fraction of the cost. I'll always be loyal to FRC but for schools that currently run a struggling FRC program, it's almost certainly true that they could be running multiple VEX teams and involving more students for less money.
> not paying the same level of taxes as people who trade their labor for money.

20% (long term capital gains) of a million dollars is still $200k, so not sure why you would say they aren't paying taxes. Not to mention the sales and state taxes that rich people pay when they buy their toys.

Or is it just you somehow deserve the money more then them because they don't work hard / were born into wealth / are tax dodgers etc.
There's also the benefit of not having to worry about managing the scalar prologues and epilogues.
It's changed so much since Carter's day:

>Carter compared elections now-a-days to those when he was running for office, saying, “In those days when I ran against Gerald Ford, who was incumbent president or later Ronald Reagan, who challenged me, we didn’t raise a single penny to finance our campaign to run against each other. We just used the $1 per person checkoff that every taxpayer indicates at the end of his or her income tax return."

Guess things could be changed back?

I'm disappointed both in the Guardian and HN users for posting this crap. The article doesn't even have any evidence that Cameron evaded tax (which is the implication).

Cameron says he paid tax on the capital gains, so why the doubt? I know Cameron is a huge ass, but that doesn't mean he's guilty of tax fraud. In the UK you can't legally avoid tax by investing in an offshore fund. If you are UK resident you must pay capital gains tax when you sell the asset.

There are differences in performance and implementation technology that can affect performance and such, but normal Linux administration techniques should always work. IDK off the top of my head, but OpenVZ guests I think need to run the same kernel version as the host, so that may play into it. KVM and Xen I belive don't have this drawback. OpenVZ doesn't give you dedicated access to resources i.e. it will allow other guests to use what you aren't using which affects performance. KVM and Xen I believe reserve ram and CPUs.

For Generation Z, Email Has Become a Rite of Passage
On the topic of credit checks, it would be oh so nice to have two-step verification whenever a hard inquiry is made. As a recent credit fraud victim, it's been a nightmare spending hours on the phone with the credit bureaus. Some let you dispute inquiries online, while others require a phone call. I ended up just freezing my accounts (for a fee of course, and another fee to unfreeze), and am gonna wait it out until two years pass.

All of this could have been easily prevented if I were required to reply via a text message sent from the credit bureaus when an inquiry was made.

Credit cards already have two-step, why not apply it to potentially life-ruining inquiries? Is there too much money in mafia-like companies who will keep the bad guys away if you just pay them a monthly fee like LifeLock?

The credit system infuriates me to no end.

Traction by Gabriel Weinberg (http://tractionbook.com/) is a must-read. You'll learn that marketing is massive and not all tactics work for everyone. It's usually through trial and error.

For example, inbound marketing is great but it takes a lot of time to build up an audience and generate traffic. If you're looking for more short-term sales, outbound marketing might be more effective. It is expensive though. This is where the importance of your objective/goal comes in (i.e. sell more, generate awareness, etc).

Overlapping data graphics to make comparisons
Apply HN: Ethica Data, Behavioural Data Science Platform
I started data modelling as student back in 2009. I was working on a model where you could feed the contact pattern of a population and it would predict infection spread. I always believed that even a small step in this direction may have a sizeable impact.

After graduation, I realized industry is looking for a different type of data science. The goal there is not to find the fastest way to control an infection, but on how to optimize presenting ads so people buy more. The talent is not spent on using big data to understand why young people in low SES communities pick smoking, but on making political campaign platforms which measure what people love to hear, so that politicians can say the same things on the stage.

To solve this, I started Ethica Data (https://www.ethicadata.com) together with my grad school team. Our intention was to create a behavioural data science platform where the talent and tools in big data can be used to solve problems that matter to society. The focus has been on problems that one way or the other are related to human behaviour.

In this platform you can pick a project and explain why you think it’s important. Then you can ask for data and resources you need for it from your audience, and if they also feel it’s importance, they can help you out.

For example, take behaviour of schizophrenic patients. To understand this, you need data on contact and mobility pattern, and quality of social interaction from a set of schizophrenic and normal population. Then you can train machine learning algorithms to highlight early symptoms. Ethica allows you to borrow data you need from people who meet the criteria and also feel the need, and helps you with the analysis and modelling tools.

We have been working on it for past three years, and there has been some small tractions around it as well. We believe the problem is very important and sooner or later we will see some solution for it, whether from us or others.

It's a whole lot more easier to "vilify" the rich when you don't personally know them, or haven't spoken with them on a non-trivial level. For all we know, there are people much lower down on the scale than the "0.1%" that are impacting politics on levels/scales we won't ever know of. Generals, drug-bosses, influential figures, nefarious individuals that wield power through back-room dealings, etc.

In fact, there are probably legitimately influential people that wield more power than those much richer to them. One need only look at political "movements" to see that they're not always run by the rich and powerful. But rather, by those that can get large amounts of individual/normal people to agree with them and follow through. The oratorical figures, I'd say.

(1) is technically incorrect. Humans have evolved to process fructose into triglycerides in the liver. This is different than getting a glucose spike in the bloodstream.

(2) unfortunately reality is complicated. Most of what you care about is the glucose curve after consumption. You are correct in that different foods cause different curves. This will change per person, and some people will spike on soda, and some (smaller group)/actually will do the opposite on broccoli. It also depends on what else you eat around the same time. Interestingly, you can often see a change over time, or if you travel (presumably different gut bacteria)

4) there is a reason it tastes good. Getting fat is good for not starving in the winter, and it is easier to get energy quickly if you need it, but point taken.

Yeah, you absolutely never order someone to do something illegal. Instead, you simply give your people some disavowable waterboarding equipment, and a bunch of evil prisoners, and then demand results, while making sure there is no oversight.

Alternatively you ship them to a country that is more than happy to openly and gleefully torture.

But you never simply order your troops to torture. That would be politically stupid.

1) Avoiding tax is in legal bounds is completely moral and is practised by everyone who is able to do that. I know a _lot_ of programmers in US who establish private consulting companies to write off all their private expenses and get 15% effective tax rate. If you think avoiding tax is immoral, you should hate them just as much as you hate billionaires.

2) Most of the people believe in political causes that are likely to directly benefit them. College students and young professionals are upset about college loans, old people are concerned with pensions, etc.

3) It's completely legal and moral to put effort and money to support political causes you believe in.

So, everything the article describes is completely normal and moral for an ordinary man — but it seems that when billionaires exhibit the same behaviour, scaled with their personal wealth and it's influence, everyone thinks it's awful, immoral and illegal. How so?

Here's another perspective on this issue, that might be a bit unpopular, but I feel needs to be said:

Why do you feel entitled to do something relatively copy-able and not be copied? Because you're European?

Patents and that sort of legal protection apply to discoveries and inventions (and even then, the rules change with the Chinese). To be blunt, you're making a website for people to organize around video games. I'm not trying to belittle what you're doing (admittedly a huge former fan of competitive Starcraft on ICCup, CS and Halo PC on Xfire, etc) but come on you're not splitting the atom in any sense.

Compete and beat the clones. They're not going to go away, that's reality. Did you know that Facebook has the exact same problem you do with Renren?

So how can you compete? Understand your users better to offer superior customer service; stay on top of new features; build a network effect into your product. Though I'm thinking it already has one, since tournaments need people, and people will congregate on the best platform. I know e-sports is huge (and growing) in Europe, and I'd find it quite surprising if eventually the winning platform for these people to organize tournaments is on a Chinese site!

Best of luck Benjamin, I do wish you the best. I don't think there's an easy answer for you, just stay pragmatic given the realities of what you're up against.
Do you require evidence for every common sense judgement you make?

> Poor people only suffer when their nominal wages don't grow to match inflation.

That is exactly the policy intent of inflation.

http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/02/13/the-case-for-hig...

"..in the long run, it’s really, really hard to cut nominal wages. Yet when you have very low inflation, getting relative wages right would require that a significant number of workers take wage cuts. So having a somewhat higher inflation rate would lead to lower unemployment, not just temporarily, but on a sustained basis."

In other words there is this aggregate value called "employment" that it's politically expedient to optimize, and the way to do that is to tweak the markets to screw the poor and transfer that wealth to the rich.

Well, yes, if you create a moving wage treadmill that forces people to work harder or fall off, you will get higher employment rates.
I had a roommate who was quite large and used to drink at least one 2L of cola a day. He cut it out and went on a weight loss diet and vigorous exercise and lost around 100 pounds. But I gotta think a huge part of that was just the insane amount of excess calories in the pop.

Still admire the degree of dedication he put into his lifestyle change tho.
Congrats! Weight loss will definitely slow as you work out and start to build up muscle too.

I definitely feel way better off of sugar/carbs. Eating is a completely different ballgame now.

On keto, you get fuller quicker, and when you're full.. you actually want to stop eating.. It's not like sugar addiction where you want MORE MORE MORE. Omnomomomom!!!! YES DESSERT PLEASE.. SURE I CAN FIT THAT IN MY STOMACH.

Your stomach will literally shrink after a while too, so you will eat less.
60% of federal budget is social security, unemployment, medicare, and health spending. 16% is military. I think the bigger problem is that money spent in healthcare doesn't go nearly as far as it does elsewhere due to bloated healthcare costs.

I think there may be some novelty to the design of their "threshold gate" at the silicon level to avoid metastability issues and thus enable their design tool flow.

They seem to have since pivoted, though, to something akin to neuromorphic computing popularized by the large asynchronous circuitry in IBM's TrueNorth chip.

The work towards making deep learning power-efficient will be important, and I think that's where they're heading.

There are area tradeoffs, but if you have efficiency gain, then you can take advantage of "dark-silicon".

Asynchronous design's time may really indeed be coming. [2]
