Net sales isn't "aka profit." Net sales is typically gross sales adjusted for things like returned items.

The different flavors of profits occur further down the income statement and reflect expenses, which net sales effectively doesn't.

If I clone myself and my clone goes through the exact experiences and interactions I go through, I think both I and my clone will have exact same consciousness. Cloning because thats the only way to ensure my exact replica of DNA sequence in someone else. If a person that is born naturally and subjected to all the same experiences and interactions, that may not result in exact same consciousness as both bodies may have different tolerance to something(for example some allergy) and hence may not experience the same thing and so their consciousness would probably diverge there.

So no soul. But still my natural offspring will start of from seed energy, half of which is from my body and other half from my partner. Its possible that only natural born twins will only have the exact same consciousness if subjected to exact same experiences. This is because we may accumulate information in our DNA over our life time. So a clone will be starting of with that information as opposed to comparatively clean slate I started off with. Or may be the accumulated info will only be written to sperm cells or ovum. Information is either passed down this way or its just a totally random mutation(or DNA shuffling) that produces new feature adaptations that causes evolution.

If the government prints 1 trillion bolivars, then it has effectively stolen half of everybody else's money in the country. The value of the bolivar is half of before, but it's now evenly split between the government and the people. So you can see why printing money is attractive to governments. It's like imposing a one time country-wide flat 50% tax on everybody, with no legislation required to do it.

> Judges receiving kickbacks to throw minors into juvenile jail, racial bias in sentences, jail for marijuana, private prison etc.

> Socialism is simply a philosophy that puts people before money

That is a platitude that doesn't mean anything. Abolishing a pricing mechanism doesn't put people ahead - it destroys resources. Capitalism has done more for the people in the last 300 years than any other system in the last 30,000.
> once a countries currency gets depressed enough they almost have no choice but to print money just to buy/import the essentials required for life

I'm sorry, but this is nonsense. Nobody outside the country is fooled by the newly printed money, and it doesn't buy any more imports.

It does help those controlling the money printing to have more money than others, thus effectively stealing from the rest of the country.

I have some of those on my wall.

If you do google it, you'll learn that the economy and life of Zimbabwe improved considerably when they finally gave up having a currency, and trade converted to Dollars and Rands.

1st: Sublime Text. Multi-cursor editing built-in, fast, uses same shortcuts as all other GUI apps.

To be fair, some starups are being trendy and using Cassandra when a traditional SQL database would better fit their needs.

One I worked at used a framework designed for SQL, wrote a Cassandra storage backend, didn't denormalize data at all (!) and then (badly) performed JOINs in software because the framework was built around the storage having relational operations (!!) topped off by their backend implementation not being aware of partitioning keys, and hence using unique values for them (!!!).

The first two I discovered when trying to diagnose why certain parts of our website/API were extremely slow. The third I discovered mid-import when suddenly the (staging) cluster stopped being able to process queries.

There wasn't any problem Cassandra was solving, our read volume was much higher than our write volume (like, 10x-100x), and we didn't even have that much data in the first place. Premature optimization (for a problem we were a long way from having) and being trendy.

I don't think Cassandra is particularly bad (and can be used in awesome ways for high-write, low-read immutable timeseries data) but you have to use Cassandra as Cassandra, not as a trendy MySQL.

I wonder whether anyone ever suggested that the complete absence of any vaguely-spherical object visible on the campus would itself communicate the importance of the spherical shape. If there's a spy who's able to see what's left out on desks, the fact that people are being threatened for anything visible of a certain shape is probably enough to let the spy deduce what's going on.

ah, interesting. My understanding of central bank practices was that 'government issues debt, which is bought by central bank in exchange for $' == printing money - but they are not synonymous?

So if you no longer have the paper trail of things being bought and sold, who keeps track/makes public the amount of currency in circulation in this case?

If simply printing more money is a bad signal, why not just keep it secret?
I find it curious that you don't think this also happens in middle-England Tory stronghold constituencies, or certain middle-class London Labour ones for that matter.
> But nonetheless, Tesla has been rumored to be working on an augmented reality system in the form of a heads-up display for the Model 3. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has been referring to the interior controls of the vehicle as “spaceship-like” and the prototypes unveiled earlier this year didn’t feature any instrument cluster.

That's reassuring. One of the things about the model 3 that bothered me was that there was only one display between the driver and passenger. It seemed very weird to have to look way off to the side to read the instruments. If they can add a heads-up display, that's a great improvement. If they can make the focal distance appear to be past the windshield, that's even better. (I've heard that it takes our eyes longer to refocus from far to near and back than it takes to physically move our eyes down and up when we glance at the dashboard.)

I expect another eventual step in the evolution of the automobile to come with the introduction of head-mounted displays so that the driver can "see through" the car without obstruction. Windows could be made smaller or go away entirely to make the car stronger and more survivable in an impact, and perhaps cheaper as well.

He's probably referring to "Kids For Cash" [0].

> racial bias in sentences

You can look at federal and state incarceration statistics for yourself. African-Americans and Hispanic-Americans serve, on average, longer sentences for the same crimes as their Caucasian counterparts. Here's one source.[1]

> jail for marijuana

Mandatory minimums for possession (especially "with intent to sell") have been part of federal drug enforcement policy for the last 50 years. Here are a few of them.[2]

> private prison etc

It was only this year that the DOJ finally committed to eliminating private prisons in the federal system.[3] They're still a massive part of state penitentiary systems (see: cash for kids).

Yes, all those "white" people getting away with white collar crime while poor, innocent brown people are made scapegoats, such as Lloyd Blankfein, the chairman of Goldman Sachs, or Gary Cohn, its president, or Steven A.

There's something those "white" people have in common, along with countless other crooked financiers on Wall Street, but alas, I can't quite put my finger on it.

I cannot speak for eanzenberg but I think his comment was less about his personal justification and more about the rationalizations that have been used in the history of stats.

Gauss quite openly admitted that the choice was borne out of convenience. The justification using Normal or Gaussian distribution came later and the Gauss Markov result on conditional distribution came even later.

Even at that time when Gauss proposed the loss, it was noted by many of Gauss' peers and (perhaps by Gauss himself) that other loss functions seem more appropriate if one goes by empirical performance, in particular the L1 distance.

Now that we have the compute power to deal with L1 it has come back with a vengeance and people have been researching its properties with renewed almost earnest. In fact there is a veritable revolution that's going on right now in the ML and stats world around it.

Just as optimizing the squared loss gives you conditional expectation, minimizing the L1 error gives you conditional median. The latter is to be preferred when the distribution has a fat tail, or is corrupted by outliers. This knowledge is no where close to being new. Gauss's peers knew this.

Why only 2GB? Especially for a device that's not shipping yet. I understand there might be SoC limitations, but I would be really surprised if the A64 cannot support 3 or 4GB.

A53 is a bit on the slow side, but the worst part is that it's not a great (as in, representative of the architectural requirements on software) chip for porting software to AArch64, because of its simplistic design - you will be able to get away with forgetting a barrier, or TLB or cache maintenance instruction here or there, and your code will work (but blow up on other, more advanced uarches, like A57 or other non-ARM designs). It's basically a minor step above using Foundation Model.
It's common knowledge IMHO that you generally need to market yourself to get gigs. There's often lack of understanding of how to become a good marketer though.

Simply getting a checklist of things to do isn't enough. Understanding the science behind influencing others goes a lot further than sticking to a checklist without the understanding of why those things are on the list to begin with.

I'd even argue that spamming social media doesn't even work anymore. Use the time to build relationships and do favors for others, and many will help you out in turn.
> I believe they keep that fund private because the risk factors must be through the roof. And frankly, they don't need that external money to make a ton of more money.
