Yeah I understand. I monitor my credit obsessively and have a good idea of what happens to my score in any given scenario. In this case I wanted the additional credit line anyway so it was worth it. I'm still young and at the point where any additional line of credit is a long term benefit for me (decreases utilization percentage, increases number of accounts, increases total number of on-time payments, and long term will increase average age of accounts). Also I like the rewards.

Everything was already suspect. I automatically distrust someone more if they claim a lack of bias, and trust someone slightly more if they explicitly disclose likely sources of bias. Given knowledge of someone's bias, I can weight the information they're providing more appropriately.

Startup's job is not to accommodate "young people's career choices". If you spend 25% of your time thinking about how to make your company more diverse when you're a 5 people company instead of thinking about your customers, your "diverse company" will probably be gone by next year.
I'm surprised that you keep insisting on this. Your statement that I objected to said "absolutely does not". Your defense of it here says "appear not to". Talk about moving the goalposts! If you had said something like "based on my experience they appear not to" in the first place, obviously there would have been no problem.

Perhaps that's all you meant to say, but what you actually said went far beyond it in a way that is corrosive to thoughtful discourse, which is why I objected.
That's like saying market economies are backwards. We need to match resources to people somehow, and markets are a very popular way to do that fairly and efficiently.

No it isn't - it's market inefficiency. Ad blocking allows content consumption without contributing to costs, which publishers have budgeted for. Flattr and Google Contributor are more efficient versions of blocking ads because it still contributes to content.
> Why? Is it someone else's land that you're trespassing on, using up their resources, hunting their animals, etc?

Yeah. Just about every bit of land is owned by someone. In order to have my own land to live off of I need to produce some income to pay property taxes, lest the state confiscate it from me.

Your point that the S&P 500 represents large US companies, rather than all US companies, is well taken. Still, the process of centralization you describe (where most gains go to past winners) can't continue indefinitely; the S&P 500 companies (at least the ones in the US) can't account for more than 100% of US production.

That's a pretty standard CC fee which would be part of any flattr-like service as well. Somebody has to pay it. That's also why my ideal number was as low as 5%. If you have 3% or so coming out for the financial system you are then aggregating all of the stats to keep tabs on how is getting what at a very small transaction level. There is a lot of data to keep for the monthly roll-up. 2% would be a ridiculously cheap amount to take. Flattr is only keeping about 7% now, but their reporting is much simpler since they are not transacting on every impression and also because very few sites are using flattr.

Yes, UBI in most of its incarnations is a deliberately engineered inflationary spiral - a one way ticket to Venezuela. Everyone simply ignores the issue.
That's like saying economic recession is a very slow and subtle process, and it's not responsible for every single person who lost job this year.

Which is perfectly true. In fact, you'll never be able to conclusively show that a single person is jobless because of the recession.

But when recession comes and millions lose jobs, I'll bet my ass that people will blame the economy and politicians will scramble to "do something".

I was development lead for an affiliate program that never launched. One of the requirements was a percentage and threshold to basically hide actions that should have generated revenue for the affiliate.

The Vulkan comment is particularly relevant, and the reason that technology exists is because of OpenGL's quirks.

They're not incompetent, they're just developing a web browser. Which means using all kinds of gnarly bleeding-edge optimization techniques that introduce massive complexity just to get Twitter to display 140-byte messages with reasonable performance, not to mention dozens of nasty parsers for nasty data formats. Basically, what I'm saying is that the web sucks. I think web browsers are probably more complex than operating systems at this point.
Not always. If a fork is made because some group wants to move in a different direction code-wise, it's good, because it gives users more choice. However, if the fork is made because of administrative reasons (as it seems to be the case here), then often all it does is muddy the waters and create confusion. We'll see how this one plays out.

> Poster is crazy to think liberals will EVER support a hugely regressive tax scheme. Consumption taxes destroy the middle class by acting as vehicle to transport wealth from the middle to the ultrawealthy, which makes it surprising that people continue to suggest it.

So the proposal is to combine something like VAT with a basic income.

Doing that would cause low income people to have a negative effective tax rate (basic income exceeds taxes), low-middle income people to have a near-zero tax rate (basic income equals taxes), high-middle income people to have a moderate tax rate (taxes exceed basic income by a little) and high income people to have a higher tax rate (taxes exceed basic income by a lot).

In what sense is that regressive? It's the purest form of a progressive tax system. It even has a built in social welfare system for low income people.

The fallacy which is usually put up against this is that the super rich don't spend as much as they earn. The problem is, that's not how income tax works either. Bill Gates doesn't have to pay tax on the appreciation of Microsoft stock until he sells the shares and he doesn't have to sell the shares until he wants to spend the money. "Super-rich don't pay tax on money they don't spend" is the status quo.

And consumption taxes benefit debtors at the expense of creditors. Income tax makes the debtor pay back the debt with after-tax dollars. Consumption tax causes the creditor to be paid in pre-tax dollars.

>>I then pulled out the Google Translate app from my pocket, put it in airplane mode, and demonstrated how it translates the text under the camera directly on the image.

So I had a look at the google reseach blog cited [1] and it turns out that Deep Learning is not used to do translation in the Google Translate app. It's only used to do Optical Character Recognition- OCR. Note, that's not handwritten digit recognition, I haven't seen any claims that the Google Translate app can do that, so it most probably can't, and can only recognise print characters.

OCR Is not something you absolutely need a deep network to do, in fact it's one of those cases were you really don't want to deploy such an expensive system because there are far cheaper alternatives, like the logistic regression mentioned in the article.

The google research blog typically doesn't say anything about how the actual translation is done, but it seems to me, from playing around with the app a bit, that it does word-for-word translation, possibly with some probabilistic heuristic to figure out the most common/likely such translation. That's very reasonable, given the app has to run on possibly weak hardware but it's also not as marketable as "Machine Translation with Deep Learning on Google Translate App".

So this is not a very good example of the superiority of Deep Learning. It's more a good example of the superiority of the Google hype machine.

Yes. You either already know about the disease or you don't. The wording of "disease" vs. "sudden oak death" doesn't change how much I want to click at all.

It's not a situation where the title might obscure which disease is causing the problem. There's one problem.

And "sudden oak death" is sort of a fake name anyway.

You're absolutely right. 100% of your employees time should be spent maximizing profit and growth, and any unwarranted deference to human values is just going to inhibit survival and wealth, which are the most important things in the world.

One day we'll all be cockroaches: great at surviving with zero appreciation for culture.

So now an attacker needs access to both the hacked DB, and your physical book.

I think that that format acceptably blocks the two most dangerous groups for a persons privacy: tech savvy remote hackers, and tech inept local snoopers.

Remote hackers are tech savvy, but probably don't have physical access to your house and don't care enough about a single user to get it.

Local snoopers are probably not tech savvy, and therefore probably won't have access or know how to find a hacked database.

If there really is a tech savvy local snooper, they will know they can just install a keylogger onto the computer that they almost certainly also have physical access to.
I agree that instating UBI may become an excellent strategy for existing power structures to preserve themselves by paying out the minimal amount to prevent social unrest.

However, I think it will be nearly impossible to succeed in spinning it is "no strings attached" unless everyone really can continue to exercise all of their current rights (to free speech, to the democratic process, etc) without losing the benefits.

You make it sound like the state will be able to say "Don't speak in opposition to our policies or we'll let you starve". I'm skeptical.
Years ago all of the oak trees in my area were cut down due to being killed by the Emerald Ash Borer, a beetle. Fines were imposed for exporting fire wood outside of the affected counties (a common thing to do in my state where people take their chopped logs up to their cabins for bonfires) but it did little to keep the bug from spreading further and further.

Many of these trees were in large forests, but it's most noticeable in my area due to the sudden change in suburbia from large oak trees planted when the homes were originally built (some a half-century or more ago) now having unusual looking, small maple trees adorning the front of their property. It's sad to see yet another pest attacking those same trees.

People are social animals and the instinct to get everyone's opinions somewhat aligned is universal and mostly beneficial. While it may hamper the next Galileo, it also allows a level of peaceful coexistence that just wouldn't happen if we had to relitigate every moral decision or scientific opinion every day.

In this case, society has converged on the opinion that diversity benefits so overwhelming, you don't have to explicitly list them each time but can treat diversity as if it were the end goal itself.

But here's a few:

- Basic fairness requires us to encourage diversity in order to create a more balanced distribution of power and money (considering the mere presence of women or minorities tends to depress wages across industries and jobs)

- Diverse teams are better, especially when creativity or social skills are required (there actually are some studies on this I believe)

- Discriminatory hiring practices make it impossible for some people to reach their full potential. When they labor in jobs below their potential, the society as a whole also loses out (remember that for every Einstein, Feynman, Picasso, there was an equally qualified woman who was married off when she was 15 and never had a chance).

...and so on. People react negatively if you challenge diversity because they suspect that you've probably heard the arguments before and have other motives than "opportunity costs" for your recalcitrance.
Thanks. That's pretty much how it is supposed to look :)

Like sveng1826 mentioned, a lot of statements have absolutely no logical ground and they're just condescending remarks telling people what they should do.

Of course it would be nice if companies focused on diversity, and I think large companies should definitely think more about it, but telling small startups to do it is wrong at best and exploitative at worst (personal agenda).

I would like to know of any successful company that focused 25% of their time thinking about diversity during their early startup stage. Thinking about diversity 25% of the times means you're thinking less about your customers 25% of the time. This type of company will probably not be around the next year--Congrats, your diverse company is now gone! I'm sure your employees are all happy!--So I wonder where she pulls "if you're an early stage startup with little to no diversity, you're in trouble and need to fix it fast." out of. There's no evidence, and logically it doesn't make sense. It's just her own entitled sense of justice (which I don't even believe is genuine).

I'm not saying diversity is not needed, I don't think it's right to capitalize on social trend by misleading the public. Basically the narrative nowadays is "Let's shame and punish all these companies that are not thinking about diversity", and I think that's as bad as those companies neglecting diversity, in a witch-hunt sort of way.

The only reason why flattr has to take such a big share is that they do not have enough users. But with such greedy charges, which are even more expensive than paypal for a lot of cases they will never get enough users.
