It's very simple actually.

Consider, for brevity, a mortgage where the monthly or yearly payment, including taxes, is equal to the rent you would be paying for the same place.

Then live in the place and go about your life for several years, until the mortgage is paid for.

Option 1, you took the mortgage. Now you own a house and you are not due any more payments. You can keep living there and use the excess income for other purposes, or you can sell the house and upgrade, or whatever.

Option 2, you kept renting. You are still under a landlord, you are still due monthly payments, and you still don't own anything more that what you started with, after all those years.

In this very real sense, rent is wasted money.
Los Angeles used to be approximately like that. We're still emerging from that kind of pattern and distribution.

I think, taken as a whole, the greater LA area is still sort of like that.

"""I wonder if you think that pro-immigration movements can be inflamed, reflexive, unthinking and possibly offensive? Actually they do not need to be because there's been a fait accompli in that at least one million immigrants have entered Germany on the basis of what appears to be the say-so of one woman. Discussion is over!

This isn't the context for a rebuttal of your suggestion that unfounded accusations abound regarding criminality. Probably some are but you'd have to believe in a massive conspiracy to disregard all reports of let us say, rape and sexual offences committed by some of those immigrants. Do you really believe 'Sweden is the rape capital of Europe' is a far-right put-up job? I never thought they had that kind of clout."""

It is with existing law that asylum seekers were taken in, and it is with current law that they are allowed to stay. The idea that it was because of 'the say-so of one woman' is ridiculous.

Sweden had the highest rape rate in Europe BEFORE the immigrants started coming in. But this actually has to do with better reporting in that country. It's easy to check this fact yourself.

Sweden and Germany have the two highest GDP growth rates in the last couple of quarters. They are also the two countries that did their duty, obeyed the law, and are now seeing the benefits.

All official crime statistics prove that immigrants are committing less crime compared to locals. Also, more rapes happen by locals by far than by immigrants. More than 1500 immigrant houses have been attacked in Germany in the last year. You can easily check these facts.

Want to change the law? Fine. Do it through non-violent means, or stop crying. Want to claim immigrants are rapist vermin? No. That's cowardly, and actually illegal in many European countries.

Your comments are highly offensive and simply wrong. I'd suggest you check these facts out if you actually think they are true. If you're just spreading such hateful lies on purpose, then I hope someone reports you and you face the law.

Because we live in a land of laws, and fascist bullshit hateful comments about people are not accepted.
The question that follows is very kindly intended. My only purpose is to get you to think a bit more deeply about what partisan thinking does to a person's ability to reason.

Have you ever considered that, perhaps, you don't see partisan thinking as having anything to do with the supremacist because you're invested in that school of thought? We tend to rationalize that which we are invested in... and I think you may be doing a little rationalizing.

Think of it this way... when a young man goes out and targets police officers to murder them, as Herschel Jones did in Ohio... is that an indictment of liberal rhetoric about police? Or is it a "...single guy off his nut...", nothing at all to do with anti-police rhetoric?
> They're not really there.

In what way can you prove you are "really there" in a way that a simulated entity is not? Fundamentally, your matter could very well be a mathematical construct -- see the Mathematical Universe hypothesis, for instance.

> They also exist in the form of data on the computer running the VR, but data can't be conscious either, as it's entirely passive, like words in a book the computer can read from and write to.

Except they're not, because the NPCs respond intelligently to you and their environment, both of which are always changing, so they aren't anything like passive, unchanging data. No one is claiming that data that isn't changing is conscious, but NPCs don't consist of unchanging data. So they could very well be conscious, and you haven't presented an argument why such intelligent responses would not require consciousness, you've merely been asserting it.

And it's not like you don't state that consciousness can't be a computation, because you've said that the game system as a whole might be conscious. So if we agree to assume for the sake of argument that consciousness is a computation, then it will be a particular kind of computation with a certain property, like how sorting algorithms sort their input.

Which means any algorithm that has this property produces consciousness. Furthermore, personality differences and sensory input from their environment would just be parameters to such an algorithm. And if game AI needs this consciousness property to make believably intelligent characters, which is what we've been discussing, then each of the NPCs will run this algorithm with their own personality and environment configurations, and each of them will be conscious.

The best I can infer about your argument is that these computations don't have access to "real" senses, but this point is entirely irrelevant. All AI senses will reduce to a set of numbers anyway, which means even if the "sensory" inputs we hook them up to are entirely simulated, this makes no difference to the consciousness algorithm. Consciousness would be a logical property, so you can't simultaneously accept that the game system could have consciousness, but the individual NPCs would not.

It is easy to catch an indentation error with two spaces, while it is harder to make an indentation error with just two spaces. It also easier to type two spaces than 3 or 4 spaces, which is important when program is typed without help of an autoindentation tool. Two spaces are enough for fixed length font, typical in terminal, but also saves screen space, which is just 80 characters in width.

As was mine. But when I think back, part of the major difficulty wasn't the shirts and pants... it was the underwear and the socks. Those took some time. But even then, this thing costs more than replacing the dryer, and I'd still have had to carry the stuff out to the clothesline and back in the summer.

Why not?
Well, the world ain't black and white.

Taxes are immoral, but evading taxes is probably more immoral. How low the scales are on both these is dependant on who is ruling you at the moment.

Managing to build our societies around a non-cheatable taxation system would be a huge step forwards for our species.

Just think how huge systems we have built just because most people don't want to pay. How much freedom and creativity and goodwill would be unleashed if nobody had to spend energy around that problem at all. If it all would just work.

Perhaps Taler won't give us that, but at least they're trying. Perhaps some future project that stands on its shoulders will.
You listed two IaaS provider and one SaaS provider. cloud.gov is a PaaS provider. There is no FedRAMP PaaS available to agencies, and PaaS is the level of abstraction needed to accelerate delivery of services the government itself provides.

We also leverage the fact that AWS GovCloud already has FedRAMP status as an IaaS to accelerate our delivery of cloud.gov (which sits on top of it), so we're piggy-backing on the money and effort already spent and eliminating the millions we would otherwise spend by having the government run the IaaS layer.

In other words...

Just because someone else is profiting from you doesn't mean you are wasting money.

Let's say you save $100k. You can either buy a house, or put the money in the stock market. If you put it in the stock market, you get a return but that return ends up going to your landlord's profit. If you but the house you get no return but don't pay the landlord's profit.

In other words, it's an investment. If you believe that the RE market has better ROI, and don't mind being rooted, then go for it. If you believe the stock market has better ROI and you prefer to be mobile, do the stock market.

How come the argument types are void* instead of double*?
As a Swiss let me give you my opinion of this. First I will say that I voted against this.

Lets be honest here, the 'minaret' issue is extremely minor one. I does not effect large numbers of people and it does not effecte them in a particularly strong way. Based on first principle I voted against it, but was not the most important issue for me or for Switzerland.

Most of the time the results Switzerland gets to usually are really good. Many things that passed in other countries did not pass in Switzerland.

I think that the argument that Swiss democracy is bad because of this minaret example, is extremely weak. If that the best argument you can bring against the Swiss system, then its doing something right. You can't find cases of gross misjudgment or fiscal or social issues or anything like that? I can find stuff like that in most other countries.

The Swiss system can also be used to remove stuff from the constitution. So this minaret stuff need not be there forever.

Edit: One addition I would make to the system is that if a law is rejected by a 'human rights' evaluation group, it needs to pass with 2/3 majority.

This is ridiculous.

Here in Europe we have been taking mortgages to buy property long before the USA was born, in fact since the Renaissance.

It certainly is a long-term contract, but nobody really considers it a "yolk." After a number of years your debt is paid and you can keep living in your place without paying anything else.

The alternative is to keep paying rent forever, well into retirement. Which one do you think is smarter?

One notable thing here is that even if the proportions are the same, in the end the absolute amount of money you are putting in your savings every month is higher. Or, in other words, if you're going in vacation in a less expensive country, your purchasing power is doubled.

96,500CHF is also a fairly conservative estimate. If you work at e.g. Google, you can reasonably expect twice that amount after 2-3 years working there (factoring in bonuses and stock). The tax rate is also lower compared to Germany, especially when you reach larger sums of money.
I don't remember the brand(s) exactly --- don't think it was ASUS however --- but I do remember a few years ago of laptops which would automatically and silently download and install BIOS updates, and inevitably some of them would fail, leading to bricked machines.

IMHO the BIOS is not something that should ever change unless there's a very important reason to, and even then it should be on the explicit action and consent of the user, because of the risks of ending up with a completely non-working machine. UEFI is a whole new mess, but I think the same principle applies.

Finally, Nginx.ORG has a valid SSL certificate
After years serving their (free version) packages and key over plain HTTP from the domain nginx.ORG, nginx has finally setup a certificate for the .org domain. Using Let's Encrypt for that matter.

It's worth pointing out that serving the package/tarballl/rpm over HTTP wouldn't be a security issue by itself because the package's integrity could still be verified with nginx's key. However, the key itself has always only been available over plain HTTP as well, so checking the package's integrity was pretty pointless. http://nginx.org/en/linux_packages.html
I hope there is some considerable evidence of this behaviour by Applebaum otherwise he is getting fucked in the court of public opinion. And if there is significant evidence why the hell isn't he being prosecuted or charged? Have his accusers even made complaints with the police? If not then I consider their accusations essentially baseless, there is no balance of probabilities in public opinion, the bar there is much lower and it is a very easy way to discredit someone. I'm not saying he didn't do it, but if you feel you were raped and you could tell your employer about it then you damn well better be telling the police too.
Easily! First we can agree that about 50% of the population has an IQ below 100. Let's call them idiots for the arguments sake. Then remaining 50% will most certainly have different views on things, let's say we can agree that at least another 10% have views so radically different from ours that we can call them idiots. That's at least 60% idiots rights there. QED
Let me start by saying this is one of the most important topics to discuss.

I would argue that UBI itself will have unexpectingly positive effect on productivity by removing the bias causing people to justify unnecessary work because they need to make a living. This will give individuals the confidence to take the time and pursue further more value for society. There will always be laziness, of-course, but we try to achieve freedom for a change.
Yeah. It's market-specific, to be sure. Homes in the Western US markets, especially California, have risen at a quick pace, in part because of zoning laws which prevent cheap expansion of the overall housing inventory.

Another important reason homeownership pays off well for many is that the investment is leveraged.

Also, in the US, entities like Fannie Mae combined with tax deductions amount to a government subsidy for home buyers. You can borrow $400K to buy a house at a very attractive interest rate and, on top of that, claim a tax deduction for the interest payments. But what rate will you get if you want to borrow $400K to place a leveraged bet on the price of gold or oil or Apple stock?
Even experts often use the "feature learning" analogy. I don't think it's wrong, or at least a bad way of explaining it.

The difference between (deep) neural networks and shallow machine learning, is that NNs can learn arbitrary features. Yes clustering doesn't require feature learning. But it is also super limited in the kinds of features it can learn. Neural nets can learn arbitrary circuits, and other types of functions.
Yes! I expected it to have this functionality. Dump stuff from the drying machine, get sorted, get folded.
