Correct, the GOP plan only seeks to "correct" (in their minds) the extent to which a wealth transfer occurs through the health insurance vehicle, via federal programs, direct aid to states, subsidies, etc.

Cost of healthcare, other than the occasional conversation about drug prices and definitions of necessary care (which continues to be abused by practitioners), continues to take a back seat.

For what it is worth, my personal opinion is that the medical professional lobby is a single issue voting constituency that is just as powerful as the NRA and the teachers unions.
As a Norwegian expat living in Australia for nearly two decades, that just comes across [insert many expletives] insane. Depending on the nature and urgency of the tests, my guess is you'd not be up for anything at all in either of Norway (which is very similar to all of Europe, I guess) or Australia.

I see USA as a country where, if the car crash didn't kill you, the medical bills certainly will.

I consider myself a fully autonomous human being, and there is no way I would ever try to navigate roads in India. If solving autonomous cars in, say, Denmark is checkers, solving it in India is Go.
Exactly --the whole Microsoft lawsuit in the early 2000s? Contractors were being treated too nicely such they legally could look like employees.

Also, food can be considered part of compensation for tax purposes --which is why some companies only allow x-number of per-employee "guests" per month.

I learned French in high school and not Spanish (thanks to growing up in southern Louisiana), and I can't read Spanish or Italian texts unless I'm extraordinarily lucky about vocabulary, but I can read Interlingua just fine. I suspect I'd be hopelessly lost in an ad-hoc mashup of Spanish and Italian, but Interlingua is pretty good about constraining vocabulary to things that are usually obvious to a speaker of any Romance language and not adopting shifts that have only taken place in one / a few languages.

They may be using the local theft charges to hold him while they investigate it at the federal level. There's some other details I found on a msn.com article, not a good source I know, but it seems like he was trying to make the claim that he was working with or for someone else. Probably just a way to deflect attention but would also constitute a conspiracy charge if true and would have to be investigated:

"But within a few moments, Price switched his story, according to the affidavit. “Price stated that people hire him to do things for their companies,” the document stated. “Price elaborated stating he would write Trojan software to penetrate network systems.” He also told investigators “he had been hired by numerous foreign governments to develop penetration software.”

I occasionally fast. Maybe 3-4 times a year for 2-3 days. I find that it's very useful for controlling your snacking impulse, because it makes you aware of the impulse.

It also makes me more mindful of the process of eating. I don't think it ever really made the food itself taste better, but it was a good reset for the hedonistic treadmill.

The problem with invented languages is that it is almost always possible to find some easy criticism of it (e.g., inherent sexism in vocabulary), and since it's invented, you can't shrug it off with "historical baggage" like you can with natural languages. When trying to design it for an international audience, and trying to avoid tying it to a specific language or language family, it's basically impossible to find sufficiently universal constructs.

Phonetics is the easiest thing to find a universal subset for--there's basically only so many ways you can physically structure your mouth to make sounds (although it does operate rather on a continuum basis). We can also objectively say that some sounds are easier to produce than others. Even then, the intersection of all languages' phonemic inventories is probably empty. The basic structure of a dozen or so consonants (m, n, b, p, j, s, z, k, g, d, t, w, h, say) with 5 basic vowels structured in a strict CV syllable format, with no diphthongs and vowel length, aspiration, and tone all being non-phonemic is the basic outline for how to design the phonotactics of a universal language.

Moving beyond phonemes is virtually impossible, however. Trying to design a basic lexeme for the language obviously runs into problem of where you source the lexemes (particularly since borrowing from several different languages tends to make it completely incomprehensible to everybody, although you may find that more tasteful than prejudicing one language's speakers as having an easier time mastering the lexeme). But even choosing which words to make root lexemes and which ones to make compounds is difficult. Should blue and green be separate lexemes? What about blue and azure? Should right be "not-left" but south not be "not-north"? Languages often attach multiple meanings to the same word, and these meanings don't always match up across languages.

Grammar is even worse. It's hard to find any grammatical structure that's truly universal across languages; maybe the separation of function between nouns and verbs, but the proclivity to verb nouns is so common in languages that it's questionable how fundamental the distinction actually is. Even the basic meaning of things like mood, aspect, and tense can be hard to settle, since the forms that exist in languages can partially overlap certain combinations (past/present+future versus past+present/future forms being the most well-known). Having to mark cases that don't exist in your native language can be difficult; English users' trouble with the subjunctive is well-known.

> "agents that perceive the environment" sounds a lot like homunculi, which effectively just punts the Hard Problem downstream, but doesn't address it.

Not really. I was referring to using regular multi-layer neural nets for perception, as they are commonly used today. Neural nets can "perceive" by detecting and locating objects in a scene (image goes in, object map goes out). The object map is being used in reinforcement learning to decide on actions.

Corporations and rich people have ways (completely legal) to get around taxes. If the tax burden becomes too onerous, they'll just move residences and/or stop doing business in your country.

You can see this in one of the founders of Facebook - he renounced his US citizenship, because of the onerous tax burdens. (https://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/11/a-facebook-founder...)

It's foolish to just say "we should tax rich people and rich corporations more." You're incentivizing them to not play the game, and wealthy people generally have more abilities to evade taxes than people in the lower upper class or middle class, which is who the burden will inevitably fall upon.
you said big box store... now let's move out to Amazon closing tons of box stores by replacing people's shopping habits.. Malls are closing left and right. Sears is going out of business, many other retailers are too...

It's a feedback loop where the more retailers close and jobs are lost, the less people have to spend, the more retailers/stores/restaurants will close, the less people will have to spend..the more... and so on..
I've been using the Honey extension on Amazon for the past few months. Averaged out, it has saved me a little under 10% of what I would have spent, so I am happy with it. At least this way some of that marketing money is coming back to me. It has also incidentally shown me just how often Prime items are jacked in price.

Honey made Firefox extremely slow when I tried it out a few months ago. I was using PriceBlink but their latest update also slowed down Firefox considerably.
My take on the Chinese Room: it is a failed mental experiment. CR differs from humans by embodiment - namely - humans are agents in an external world, with certain limitations, such as need for food, shelter and avoiding pain and injury, which a room doesn't have. Thus the CR can't learn the same value system as a human. The CR has nothing on the line, humans have the protect their life.

By removing the world itself from the CR, it is limited in its growth. The world allows for exploration and testing of hypothesis.

The CR can't self reproduce, humans can - and reproduction brings a whole list of new constraints for humans that guide evolution. Genetic evolution is also a meta-learning algorithm that the CR lacks. Humans are born with a set of instinctive values which guide the evolution of the brain - like a program. CR has no such initial values (reward channels) and more generally, the problem of learning in CR is glossed over.

Searle should have compared humans with a frail robot that has to earn its electricity and raw materials to produce spare parts by its own endeavor, and be able to learn from and teach its knowledge to other robots. Such a robot might have a closer to human perspective on the world, being embodied and subject to limitations that force it to learn intelligent action.
I just got paid $6784 working off my laptop this month. And if you think that's cool, my divorced friend has twin toddlers and made over $9k her first month. It feels so good making so much money when other people have to work for so much less. This is what I do,

I think it's already the case that there are tons of "make work" jobs in India. When I visited, in the hotel I stayed at there were like 4 doorman at the entrance. In the shared office building where I was working, there were 2 people manning the copier - if you wanted to copy something, you had to hand it to the copier attendant, who would make your copies and then bring them back to you.

I think your comment is pretty accurate. It's one thing for us to laugh at the minister, but we don't really have any other solution for the huge numbers of people who will be put out of work if driverless cars take off in India.

"In a world of two echo chambers... it's up to you to make up your mind."

Fox News: "We report, you decide."

aka gossip. Not to be confused with journalism.

> Such is typically the fate of common languages.

In the age where travel and communication is slow, yes. It's also why many languages that we perceive as monolithic today consisted of many often barely mutually intelligible dialects as late as 19th century.

But things are very different now.
I see no reason to believe it wasn't. Being brutally pedestrian is the kind of thing I would expect out of great hackers.
>>said Nicole of the Facebook employees. “We don’t live the dream. The techies are living the dream. It’s for them.”

Im afraid this is no longer about perks at Facebook. To me this looks release of frustration about making bad life and career choices.

There are no easy solutions to these peoples problems.

The only ray of hope for this people is the modern day economic ecosystem and overall internet place has made it easy to retrain yourself for better paying jobs. Its going to be hard, time consuming and brutal. But that is the only way out.
Same for me with Russian.
In some sick way I am a little impressed with Fox News...the comments in this thread seem to indicate they have effectively won the battle they chose to fight by making everything seem biased. Nihilism isn't intended as a political strategy but it is an effective one.

So, just like every other store, before the sale, they jack up the prices to make the markdown look more extreme.

What, have people never shopped in Sears/Macys/Mervyns or any other department store since the beginning of time?

Seriously, the only response I can come up with to this news is "Well... duh."
Really? Because almost every thread I've about it has a discussion on the creepy factor associated.
It's becoming increasingly obvious that the political tribalism is insanely strong. Enough to prop up things that might've seemed outrageous a year or two ago.
So I've been researching a move to DFW for the last two years.

Consider that when starting a new job you may go upwards of a month without a paycheck (to do pay cycle alignment). So beyond that the presumption is that you'll need to pay two months of living expenses if you move without a job - and its near to impossible to find a service job by interviewing remotely - and it will take 2-8 weeks to find one, and then another 2-4 weeks before you see a paycheck. (hence the two months of food, and extra month of rent)

800 a month is reasonable for a decent but not great area in DFW. Also, some places do want first/last/security deposit, plus various other "non-refundable deposits" - but if you're willing to put them in a bad part of town - I'll concede that 550-600 is possible.

The 100 dollars for a cell phone - was to pay for their existing services.

It's California, so yes they have a car (even odds) also, how do you fit 5 people in the cab of a uhaul? you don't. You can fit three legally, four is pushing it, and five is out of the question.

Also 40 bucks/night is unrealistic for hotels, they usually start at 50 and go up from there - some motel 6 properties do still have the 39.99 rate - but they're increasingly rare at this point - even when they do, thats for single occupancy (they charge more with more people) - in addition, no 40 dollar motel has breakfast.

As far as your quip that I've not done this? I have, I moved to Seattle with basically no money, and no stuff - which isn't practical when you're raising kids - I'd very much like to get out of the west coast as it is - but my job is here, and they pay me reasonably well for it. I also travel a ton for work - in the last 18 months I've been to: Erie (PA), Pittsburgh, Toronto, Ottawa, Dallas (twice), Phoenix, Palo Alto, Cheyenne (twice), Denver (twice), Newark, Chicago (Elgin), Winnipeg, Washington DC, Portland (OR), Ontario (CA), Vancouver (BC), and Newark. So I do have a good scope of cost of living elsewhere - and most importantly reasonable hotel costs. In addition two years ago I did a cross country road trip, from here to Nashville - some of my hotel data comes from that.

Surprised that there isn't more of a discussion about how this link is from Fox news... and right after Trump tweets about Amazon.
So far all I'm seeing are peasant suggestions. You have to go with Stratfor Worldview if you want to get into global affairs. It'll cost you $350 USD annually though.
Actually, you wouldn't need any of that at the destination which is Santa Monica pier. You get out in the LA sunshine, walk down the steps to the beach and take a dip in the Pacific. When you're done, rinse off in one of the public beach showers and you'll be dry in a jiffy.
It really depends what you mean by "medical complication". If we are assuming that we are getting the implant at hospital by a qualified physician risks are already at minimum.

Most likely "complications" would be body rejecting the implant or the wound getting infected. I've had foreign objects in my body (not by choice), they were removed because the wound got infected. I was monitoring the wound, once I thought it didn't look/feel normal I went to clinic and got it checked. Over all I wasn't out of commission for even full four weeks.
I'm on Toptal. I can confirm the blog post is quite accurate on the screening process. They likely receive applicants across the world and they must have a quick filter in process. Remember a lot of so-called "software engineers" can't even solve FizzBuzz. Allegedly, only 5% pass the initial algorithmic step, and the other half fails the other steps leaving only about 3% of the applicants.

You set the rates, though they'll direct your on what might be competitive. In practice, rates might not be that interesting for SV/NYC developers, but I find plenty of people from other parts of the developed world in the network - and is definitely good for South America.

And at least in my experience, staff is polite and professional. They'll help you build an attractive profile and deal with most of the usual client/freelancer nuisance, including rates and payments. As they handle most negotiation on your behalf, the relationship "smoothness" with clients is above average.
Honest question. Are business cards still useful?, do people actually hold to them?. If I'm interested in a person I trade emails, done. I don't know anyone who holds business cards from other people.
Just take what people say at face value. For example, if someone says they're frustrated with the political status quo, and and voted for Trump because they perceived him as not being the status quo, despite it being a very tunnel visioned viewpoint, it has a very low cognitive overhead. Understandability is extremely different from rationality, and rationality plays a minimal role in a popular vote.
>>The literal story is about food workers who can't afford to raise a family in Palo Alto.

Even well paid programmers, managers and other well paid people can't raise a family in Palo Alto.

Also, "highest bidder" is ragebait. There's nothing to indicate Roomba is looking to maximize for short-term profit as opposed to, say, selling the data to the third-party that would please its customers the most, or that made the most strategic sense for the future of the company.

Unless they actually started from a blank source repository then it was not a rewrite.
