Yes, except that "best viewed with IE" was there (at least initially) as part of a campaign where Microsoft was paying web sites to put in stuff that was incompatible with Netscape/Mozilla, and "best viewed in Chrome" is there because web developers are lazy.
One issue is that building a browser take engineers, and that takes a lot of money. Mozilla makes its money from search partnerships; they make money every time someone uses default search. If less people are using Firefox, less people are using default search, which in turn means less revenue. This means fewer engineers. If they don't have enough engineers to maintain Firefox, the browser falls apart. I am skeptical that Firefox could be maintained by donations or volunteers when its competitors are backed by large companies.

A response is that even if Firefox's share falls, that the absolute number of Firefox users continues to rise. ie that the total market is growing. In this case Mozilla would still be generating the revenue it needs to keep going. The author brushes this possibility off in the beginning of the article, saying that browsers are a thing of the past.
Also, trademarks are only valid for specific lines of business. You could open a Comcast barbershop, or bottle Comcast Cola, or run a Comcast liquor distillery without infringing Comcast's trademarks in the realm of telecommunications, networks, and media content distribution.

The key is to assess the probability that the consumer might be confused with respect to who is ultimately responsible for what they are seeing.

It just so happens that "Comcast" is the company name and trademark, drawn from the list of companies apparently pushing to kill net neutrality, that best overlaps with "astroturfing". So it metonymically represents all those companies in the clever name.

The fact that Comcast has a widespread reputation for being one of the most hated corporations in America certainly doesn't hurt. Whether warranted or not, it is the poster child for everything wrong with the US telecoms industry. Even if it is not the ultimate source of the bogus public comments, I have no great hurdle in believing without further evidence that it could be, because of that poor reputation.
I'm one of those people. I think the deposit was put down in a moment of excitement, which has since died down quite a bit. Not only am I one of those people who gave them a deposit, I'm also likely one of those people who they meant to target: I drive a BMW 3-series, which would be the Model 3's main competitor.

Now given all that, this display made me really not excited about the Model 3. Electric car is nice but that's the only thing the Model 3 has going for it when compared to the 3 series. I don't see them emphasizing self driving and the acceleration is kind of just par for course, which shouldn't be the case for an electric car. Given Tesla's reputation for a Spartan interior, what am I getting out of it other than it being electric? The way I see it, I'm better off waiting a few more years to see if things improve. My current 328i has given me 5 years of good driving and no headache at all. Better integrating with smartphones would be great but the latest 3-series offers that as an option already.

So I have to wonder, why a Model 3 over a 3-series?
Since memory is copied, it's really not clear to me what the advantage is of using value_ptr over just using values.

presidential politics is mostly about charisma and emotion these days. If he thinks people will listen to good ideas and policy, he'll be sorely mistaken.
If given the choice I prefer a non-powered trunk opening. Opening and closing a trunk provides no hardship for me, and doing it myself is much faster than waiting for a mechanism.
Prices will go up! So you are right! The immediate effect would definitely be inflationary. Underneath that, though, UBI would be a slight equalizing force on actual purchasing power. Therefore, I guess even in that inflated economy, there would be a bit more demand for apartments. Longer-term, this would mean that more would be built, I'd think.

I suspect that UBI is a very good idea, but also that its fans tend to ignore the second order effects and its critics tend to ignore its third-order effects, which are where I think the real benefits are.

Hi.

Have you considered the possibility that what you are facing is probably because of depression? I know, you would say that the work is the cause of depression.

Either way, you should seek medical help for it. I have seen people waste away because of depression, my grandmother for one.

It would be much better once your depression is under control and you'd be able to make a better decision. There is one thing thatI learned growing up, "Never make a decision when your head isn't straight". You'd be able to make a better decision once you are free of the burden of depression. Trust me, and see a doctor for depression. There's nothing bad about it.
Can you explain why you believe Quantitative Easing is a redistribution of wealth?

QE is the creation of something new i.e money supply. A transfer of wealth is ex post facto(that wealth already exists somewhere.)

Traditional OCRs are good at transcribing typed notes (e.g. pdfs) to editable docs, but do poorly with handwriting. The best OCRs I've seen can make a handwritten note searchable (e.g. Evernote) but still don't transcribe it editable form.

A lot of academic work on transcribing images of handwritten notes into text has surfaced over the last couple of years (mostly regarding using neural networks), and we decided to apply it

The largest "basic necessity" is housing. In popular areas, its price is supported not by the cost of construction materials and labor, but by the interest on circular real estate valuations.

The counter argument seems to be that people could stop working, move to economically unproductive areas (where rent doesn't rise to consume all surplus income), and effectively retire on UBI. To me, this sounds like the polar opposite of a distributed economy, further cementing the rich-poor divide. But centralizing puppetmasters don't consolidate power by advocating for fiscal responsibility.
Rant ahead, sorry....

I had this debate with people all the time, and it turns out I was wrong.

There WILL be jobs.

They were right about that, I believe.

It's just that they won't pay enough to be able to provide for yourself.

We have divisions of labor, because they work.

But your ability to sit in an office, type on a computer, answer phone calls, and go to meetings, only translates into your ability to feed yourself, clothe yourself, have a living space, because of supply and demand. Those skills are in short enough supply right now, that they have enough value... to trade with the people who make your food, clothing, housing.

But if you imagine that in the future, automation is going to make it so that smaller and smaller numbers of people are necessary to do your job (it's happening to Radiologists and Physicists, it can happen to anyone), then essentially there's far too many of you in the supply, so you won't be able to demand good wages.

On the other hand, it's not like the demand for food, clothing, and housing will drop. And even though the COST to make food, clothing, and housing will drop, THAT'S NOT HOW THINGS ARE PRICED. They are priced by their scarcity.

And the machines that make the food, clothing, and housing, are still going to be relatively expensive. (Lucky for the people who own them!)

So the people who own the machines will have you over a barrel. You need what they can make, and you have nothing they want in exchange.

Without Universal Basic Income, I think we'd have to resort to Socialism (literally, the government control of the means of production of basic needs like food, clothing, housing), in order to not have people starving in the streets.

OR

People will stop "dividing their labor," and they'll get good at taking care of themselves. Like the Amish. Farming. Sewing. Textiles. Chopping wood. I don't mean this sarcastically, there's nothing wrong with that kind of life. If you look at history, the Amish are very healthy in comparison to everyone else. Maybe they're more puritanical than any of us would accept, but their DIY, hands on, back to nature life isn't a crazy idea.

But if we do have Universal Basic Income, I think people will find ways to keep busy, and to make some extra money for luxuries.

Want to go to Disney World? Well, work in the record shop you like. Listen to tunes all day, discuss music with people with similar interests. You only earn about $2 an hour, but that's fine. It's all just gravy.

Want to be a Radiologist? That's great - use your UBI to pay for college. Earn tons of money. Go to Disney World all the time.

UBI + Progressive taxes just makes tons of sense to me.

Don't tax me much when I'm getting started in my career. Tax the crap out of me when I'm figuring out whether I can afford 5 weeks or only 4 at Disney World each year.
Actually, it would be even harder for Clojure to overtake Python: appearance of new ML libraries for Clojure is not enough.

Interesting. How about a president that orders bombings on a country (or several of them) which hasn't attacked the US? Or a president that orders drone strikes that kill civilians?
Once you realize politicians do an actual hard job running things by using deception, and when you realize money is just a tool we use to measure what goes where with accounting, then you realize we use money because even the best ideas don't work because humans are natural competitors. Money is not about corruption or running numbers, it's about counting sheeps in a complex human society. That's it. Currency is not bad in itself, it's just that the world is so large, and since it's not possible to organize such a large place, we use currency so that things self-regulate. People are already trying to not use money, and have more simple lives, but everyone realizes that we all are feet deep into our sweet comforts and we can't let it go.

It's great to have ideas, it's another to execute them. I felt a little more interested by what kind of city Fresco was proposing, and all the architectural details, than the leap of faith into less poverty and less war. By all means, if you have ideas to reduce poverty in any place in the world, and reduce conflict in Syria, I'm sure the UN and most western governments want to hear about what you want to say.

It's time to let the ideology go, and work on more fine-detailed, feasible objectives. Local politics or organizing a neighborhood seems much more realistic to me, than building new cities from scratch.

Trademarks are not patents or copyright, there is no special protection for "getting there first" and the owner of a strong brand can absolutely (and in some cases must) use legal muscle to assert their rights over those people who got there first, in order to maintain the protection of the Trademark on their brands.

They do not always have to open with "cease and desist" -- alternatively they can even offer a license to use the mark, but if they are derelict at enforcing their TM brand then all of their associated legal protections can be taken away.

If you publish a work under copyright and someone steals it, you win if you can prove that your work came first.

If you are sued for patent infringement and you can prove prior art, you can potentially get the patent thrown out under review.

If you are "Mike Rowe Soft" independent software developer and went into business years before Microsoft existed, but nobody knows you, you will lose because your brand is confusingly similar and your market domain significantly intersects the more well-established mark. (This is actually a real case, and that was his real name.)

Microsoft can file an injunction forcing you to change your (company's) name and to cease and desist from any marketing that uses a mark that is confusingly similar, and they will win, even though you got there first. Just different systems for protecting different types of intellectual property.

It's understandable that you would be confused.
Personally I could never drive a ICE car when an equivalent electric vehicle presented itself. I would never forgive myself.

Amazon has an interest in that basic needs market as well. See: Prime Pantry.
Something like IPFS could perhaps be used for this. I think the biggest issue is probably access control. I.e. just releasing packages addressed by content isn't enough, because people generally depend on @whatever/left-pad and not 5b055a0b42f1c or whatever the hash may be. Real estate in a global name space means someone gets there first, so you'll need to consider how to deal with name squatters and the likes. With a centralized source like npm it's as easy as getting in touch with support (they're very good) but when no one knows the name space everyone owns the name space – makes it hard to make things "nice".

So I guess what I'm saying is that just storage isn't the tricky bit to distribute really, but having a global namespace is I guess.

I am not fan of Zuck. Have never used FB. But I think it was a good speech. He doesn't have to do this. He can be like Larry Page and disconnect from the world and no one is going bother him.
But he seems to have some ideas that I am not going to discount. The point about helping others find purpose and the role of community resonates deeply with me.
I wouldn't be where I am without it. Most of our successful open source work happens exactly this way. Allowing people to discover purpose and feel part of a community. You will constantly hear these words from people at Mozilla or Wikipedia or Khan Academy to pick just places where corporate robots aren't driving the usage of words.

With religious institutions in the west loosing their influence, with capitalism, consumerism, individualism having a cost and being antithetical to solving global problems...talking about helping others find purpose and creating a sense of community feels at least better than anything else I usually here from politicians.
> If you succed in manufacturing a stigma against arXiv papers

That's not exactly my intention, and your statement goes in line with what I said..

> sure I've cited software in the past, and having an article to go with it is even better

where "software" could also include blog posts. It's just that, yeah, when it comes to it if I have to choose between citing something some guy wrote on a blog or citing Arxiv, I'll choose the latter every time.

But my question was not about whether arxiv is an appropriate medium for publishing ideas, I'm certainly not arguing that it should go away, but rather whether it's an appropriate thing to be citing in a scientific context. i.e. in derived work.. should it be "okay" for people to publish to arxiv and just.. leave it there and not put it in a conference or journal? Should such work be validated by citation?

It's a legitimate question that I don't know the answer to. If you get an idea from there, you can't just.. not cite it.. and yet, I feel like arxiv should be used only as long as the work will eventually get a proper publication. Which more and more it seems is not a given.

I'm really just responding to the statement on the posted link, which is just a header, "Citation", and an Arxiv-bibtex entry. No "submitted to X..", "in press", etc., or anything.

Again, it's not that I'm totally against the idea, but I think there must be some happy medium between "peer reviewed work" and "well-written but unreviewed article". Typically this used to be conferences, but conferences are expensive, and with people uploading their pre-conference unaccepted publications and those getting citations, I mean.. where will this end?

I was a bit shocked recently while writing an ML article to find that the "official" original reference, that you see cited everywhere, for the whole concept of "style transfer" appears to be an arxiv paper [1]. My reservation doesn't so much come from the fact that the authors put their work there, but more that this is what people are actively choosing to cite over their peer-reviewed conference publication [2]. When does "pre-print" become just "print"?

(Currently Google Scholar reports 216 citations for the former and 74 citations for the latter. Of course they were published a few months apart so it's not a great comparison but still, just an example..)

Those concepts aren't really mutually exclusive in this case. What's it matter if the money is being conjured out of thin air by a central bank or being pulled from a billionaire who would otherwise park it somewhere? Either way it's going to create a whole lot of extra demand and cash being spent on goods & services, which will drive inflation.
As @pluma mentioned, a "merge" seems unlikely (for one thing they don't share much, if any, code).

When I ask, "Is it possible to draw 7 perpendicular lines?" I want the answer, "No." If I want to know why, I'll ask why. If I want an alternative, I'll ask for it.

Instead, what was happening was that after they asked their question and I answered, "no," they'd walk away and not attempt to get my help again with it afterwards.

For the longest time, I thought they were like me and that they were looking to have their question answered. They weren't. They were trying (clumsily) to get help with their problem.
