Quite right! There should be laws against the poor reproducing. Perhaps a tax on children? Or some sort of permit system? Maybe a one child policy, exceptions only for the rich? Or just take away the children of the poor if they're irresponsible enough to have them and not be able to afford them. Give them to rich families so they can be raised properly.

I wonder if there are any examples in history that we could learn from? Surely other enlightened countries have tried something similar?

I've had a few coding tasks completed by Redditors on this subreddit.
Once your project gets to a certain level of users or activity, you should still be submitting PRs or MRs for comment before merger.

With our server toolkit in a project I work on, we have 2 devs and 5 active users, with the devs being 2 of those, but we still manage to at least put every change in a PR, with a minimum review and comment time of 24 hours unless it's a security issue or major bug fix.

It's not hard, and it makes you actually justify your change and have talented second eyes point out minor bugs or edge cases to you.

Direct commits are only used for version bumps for the auto build/release thingy.
I think it would be accidental death, but it's a nice sentiment.
There is a regional authority which tries to force communities to match new office space with new housing in the same city. And there's state action on the way to force local areas to approve dense developments near transit hubs like Caltrain. Obviously this isn't doing enough today, but there is action happening.
Netflix's recommended connection speed for 4k is 25 Mb/s.

So what exactly does "do something about it" mean in this circumstance? Is your download rate actually saturating your throttled connection?
You're right about medical, but the whole point of UBI is to provide a floor upon which anyone can live without the expensive bureaucracy of qualifying them. It's supposed to replace the welfare state with something more efficient. That's not a regression, with UBI you don't need foodstamps or any other kind of assistance (not counting healthcare which is a separate thing).
I have a friend at Intel who works in the AR division and their comment to me is that in one way or another all AR/MR glasses are running Intel silicon. I asked them specifically, does that include, Hololens, Apple's Project, and a couple others specifically, and they answered in the affirmative. YMMV though.
> In order to be able to receive the payment the other party has to register with a bank and other legal entities etc... Putting money to an ethereum contract is closer to sending cash in an envelope to some PO box in a foreign country

This shows either little understanding of smart contracts or little imagination. Retailers could make each of their sells contract a 3 party multi-sig contract where the three parties would be you, the retailer and your bank and if you complain to your bank and your bank accepts your request after reviewing the retailer's claim then the money would go back to your account. There could also be other legal entities in the multi-sig contracts such as insurances or others.

> My point is that those "smart" contracts are great for thieves but of dubious values

See my previous point and why this is not correct.

> Regardless, do you think those people whose wallet was compromised because of the faulty contract will manage to get their money back? Who are they suing, the thieves? The wallet company who wrote the faulty contract? How you do get the money back? Can you freeze the account? Reverse the transactions? Blacklist the coins? The whole cryptocurrency system is designed to make those things impractical, if not downright impossible.

They won't get their money back because they didn't pay for an insurance. Coinbase for example guaranties US$ 100k in case of theft. If Ethereum becomes a thing, there would be a whole market of insurances offering what Visa or Coinbase or your local bank offers today.

Last but not least, you're getting robbed every day with fiat money with inflation policies, only you don't see it but it is happening. Inflation lowers the value of your fiat money and that's like robbing you a part of your money without your consent. And you pay a fee for that insurance you mention every time you use your credit card, so not free either and again, any ethereum or bitcoin provider could offer the same insurance for a fee (and coinbase already does to some extend).
A really interesting question. It would seem far fetched at first that backpropagation could be used by the brain, because it's unclear what the mechanism for transmitting the error at every synapse backwards, to the synapses in the previous layer, would look like physically.

This is a really interesting lecture given by Geoffrey Hinton (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIRCybGgHts) where he discusses the various issue commonly raised with "biological backpropagation" and proposes a solution based on Spike Timing Dependent Plasticity (STDP). Basically he argues that you can interpret the STDP learning rule as a derivative filter on a firing rate and get backpropagation in this way. This is just on wild idea though and has not been shown to work experimentally or through simulations.

There are also a couple of interesting pointers in this Stackexchange thread: https://cogsci.stackexchange.com/questions/16269/is-back-pro...

In limited, specific markets, Whole Foods is definitely entering markets with a lack of affordable, healthy options:

>Since it was announced in 2013, Whole Foods' plan to open a store in one of Chicago's most economically depressed South Side neighborhoods has drawn praise, excitement, scrutiny and some doubt. The big questions — Will the community support it? Will the store be affordable to residents but still turn a profit? Will it work? — won't be answerable for months or even years.

>But Wednesday was reserved for exuberance and unchecked optimism. Many shoppers applauded the store's presence in a community with few options for fresh, healthy food. And more than 35 South Side vendors sampled their wares that will be sold in the store. Whole Foods is hoping that local connection, plus significantly lower prices on select items, keeps shoppers coming back after the hoopla has died down.

Because human capital is a market of jobs, and the analogy attempts to compare that entire market to 1 job/industry within that market (horses).

When horses became obsolete, the car industry rose, and tens of thousands of people were needed to engineer, produce, sell, and repair cars.

So as automation takes over, the jobs it affects will disappear, but others will emerge to take their places.
Unfortunately they've likely been forced into it by their content providers.
6 years ago I submitted cloud computing comparison - https://www.cloudorado.com/ . It has hit first page with 38 comments. There was a nice spike in traffic that I've never seen later but it faded quickly. Now traffic mostly comes from search and some links that popped up here and there. The site is live and provides revenue (but not spectacular; fraction of what I need for living).
This is not true, and employees are explicitly told that this is not true.

There is an internal process to have google release any copyright they may hold on any project you produce on your own time without using corp resources. All it requires is going through a standard and a (mostly) boilerplate legal review.
Well, Hawkins isn't one of them.

neuronexmachina's flippant comment misrepresents Hawkins and On Intelligence, which lays out in popular form a scientific theory of neocortical function, with perfectly sane perspective on what that means in the context of the whole brain, due references to neuroscience, suggestions for experimental tests and obvious awareness that the theory may prove wrong or incomplete.

I'm disturbed to see that two of the early comments here contribute nothing of value and amount to little more that personal attacks by way of misinformation.
> Not really. A purely vision-based system probably needs to see this example in training labeled as "the back of a car" in order to differentiate it from reality.

Have you take a look at depth based feature recognition? It will automatically recognize everything as a car, and will tell the error of the 2D feature extraction every time.

It's also extremely CPU intensive, so people don't apply it as often. It's a clear example of AI being hold down due to limitations in computer power.
Charlie Gard has nothing to do with single payer. In the UK, if the NHS won't fund something (normally because it doesn't work or is horrifically expensive - see NICE for the gory details) you're free to go private.

In Charlie Gard's case, the parents have raised the money to take him to the US for the pioneering 'treatment'. The court's barred them from taking him because they've ruled that doing so is not in his best interests, and that he should be allowed to die. Which is pretty damned unusual for the English courts, to be honest. And given he got a full hearing at the supreme court, and his own advocate, and it's not a matter of money, I'm inclined to believe the doctors and the judges.

But even if you think they're wrong, it's still not about single payer.
Nice. An ability to filter by price (and actual availability), application / submission deadline, and volunteer opportunity would be useful, also.
> Changing things so all taxpayers are getting robbed rather than just the individual being treated

Government programs set maximum reimbursement rates and also mandate cost accounting mechanisms to assure that actual reimbursement is not merely within pre-set rates but also justified by actual provider costs. The government isn't buying services with no advance information about what the charges may be.

Private insurers impose similar controls.

So single payer (or even universal coverage through private insurers) eliminates the particular kind of “robbery” from undisclosed charges being discussed.
I noticed this project is missing quite a few features common to modern image codecs, such as variable transform sizes, deblocking, or intra prediction. Of course, it's a work in progress, so those things could still be to come.

Have you considered using Daala's lapped transforms? They work with variable block sizes and are quite effective for still images.

Also, was there anything that motivated doing a custom image format rather than applying Butteraugli to WebP?

This is pretty neat, thanks! Unfortunately all the [TASK] listings are like super tiny amounts of money. To clarify, I'm talking in the hundreds/low-thousands per project.

For example, $200 to make a website that I can probably whip up in a few hours and put on AWS for them. Or maybe $2000 for a more complicated website that takes 2 weeks. That kind of stuff is what I'm looking for.
It's simpler (cheaper)
Mechanization has always obviated mental labor as well. Turning the same screw on an assembly line 100 times as day is vastly less mental labor than building a car as an artisan.

Advances in technology and business processes are often made specifically to allow for less brain labor. There are tens of thousands of people in retail banking who can't calculate an amortization table without a computer. This has only resulted in more jobs in banking not fewer.

Certainly automation may replace some jobs entirely, but in most cases it's merely an increase in efficiency.

> You're looking for historians or economic historians and I would be really interested if you know of any off the top of your head who believe that the labor movement didn't actually help labor.

I'm pretty sure we can find plenty of examples of great economic prosperity without unions and labor laws.

It is of common occurrence for a political movement to claim its actions were responsible for effects already happening. But also, there is a confounding effect: unions were a reasonable response to the acts of state that used violence and coercion against employees. The FBI busting strikes, or the military shooting down workers protests. Unionization was vital to revert that. But that doesn't mean everything they said or did was the best for the workers.

The ability to unionize is a very different thing that the passing of a law that describes how labor should be. Making unions illegal is an act of oppression. Forcing workers to be part of the union is another act of oppression.

But the case in point is about the addition of a work law that involves the restriction of how much time an employers can bid of the employee. I am not yet convinced that it was unions that raised wages so it was possible to raise salaries that covered working 16 hours to 12. I think that was already happening, and the protests and unions of the time were at best accelerating that transition.

Adam Smith is such a commie. The man clearly has an agenda. Good thing no one takes his work seriously.
One of the biggest concerns I hear about UBI is where the money comes from. I think think your point about eliminating the welfare state systems is a big part of the solution. Think of all the bureaucratic cruft that exists right now and how many of those resources could be diverted into more impactful areas such as paying for UBI that enables more to participate in the economic flow of goods and services. It's easier said than done, but I think a lot of the UBI's implementation costs could be covered by consolidating expensive and complicated systems into a simpler solution like UBI.
> In my personal experience, when fact checking political fact checking, three out of the four claims I investigated turned out to be highly misleading. Usually it was by the person doing the fact checking leveraging the fact that people wouldn't have full context.

Care to share your results? If it's really 3/4 it should be very easy for you to provide many examples.
I do intermittent fasting (16/8) every day and have found immense benefits. More specifically, I do what's called "time-restricted feeding" in which I only eat between 7am and 2pm (so if I start eating at 10am then I can only eat for 5 more hours). I also strategically eat in the morning because I that is when people are most glucose sensitive.

So far I have almost lost 20lb without changing anything in my diet (I currently am 6ft and 200lb). I did not expect this result going in, but have been pleasantly surprised. Research shows that IF can lead to a slight weight loss, but nothing like what I have experienced-- so I wouldn't want anyone to think they can replicate my results. That being said, I would do this even if I did not lose weight because the health benefits are immense.
My assumption was that the local established writers / reporters have an inside track on information and relationships with teams, and for example will attend (almost?) every game, pre-season, press conferences, have a presence in the locker rooms etc etc.

But your point makes sense that as a business, the local media has the disadvantage of using resources in other areas of "news", vs. focusing exclusively on sports.

So, "targeting" these cities would have to include recruiting these people already working there. Otherwise, initially I would always be able to get up to date and "inside" information from the established sources.

I'm just thinking out loud, but essentially, this all depends on what the meaning of "focusing on" means, as the local sports media individuals are certainly focused on their local teams.
I would love to see a comparison between where physically and which modifiers are used for each character are, and the strength of a password.

Is a password which is very easy/comfortable to type out physically any more/less strong than another of the same length?

I ask this because I often use a visual pattern on the keyboard for a password and I don't recall which characters they may be, but I recall the pattern in need to type out on a qwerty kb

No, that's the point of UBI in your mind. This is actually what I think is harmful about our current obsession with UBI, all the politicians are slowly coming around to it and when they do that you know some people are about to get screwed. UBI isn't here to reduce welfare spending or to reduce welfare spending on the poor. Inequality has a direct effect on social mobility. Thus programs which exacerbate inequality are antithetical to the idea of a meritocracy. We need more, direct redistribution to the poor to fix America's problems with social mobility. Abolishing the minimum wage because of UBI? Come on.

The problems with Upwork and Freelancer, while significant, are regularly blown out of proportion. I don't recommend them for more than finding short gigs when you're in a pinch, but they are useful for that. Do be prepared to lose a lot of jobs to bidders from the third world. Take advantage of anything that you can use to differentiate yourself.

Also, get a stack of business cards and start going to local business networking events. Look up the local Chamber of Commerce, search meetup.com, and see if your county has any small business development classes or lunches you can attend.

That's my short-term advice. I'm still trying to figure out what to do in the medium- and long-term myself.
I'll say this: I was in the emergency room at San Francisco General Hospital last week, and while his namesake wing was very nicely appointed, the Xray tech was complaining about the software performance and monitor resolution.

Even inside cities, vehicles frequently need to drive at speeds up to 70kph. So while small electric golf carts (neighborhood electric vehicles) will continue to be used as niche vehicles in limited areas they're useless to most drivers.

Basically eat the extra calories you expended.

Calculate your TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) in a purely sedentary state. Then eat more than that on the days you exercise to compensate for the energy you burned.

That assumes your goal is to maintain your current weight.
Good job! I don't know your history but speaking from a lifetime of yo yo ing with much more success in recent years, the calorie restriction very likely will need to be permanent. I have found again and again that there is no such thing as maintenance eating for me. If I am not actively trying to lose weight I am gaining weight

I used the farming example because it's the most accessible one, but labor shifts happen all the time. This is far from a sample size of 1.

Don't take my comments as a proclamation that "NOTHING SHALL CHANGE, AS THERE IS NO NEED TO WORRY."

Quite the contrary...I do think changes in training, etc. need to be made. I just don't think it's a markedly different shift from anything we've had so far.
No I'm not missing this point I just don't agree with it. Companies contract with other companies for all kinds of services. When I call someone to fix my air conditioner I'm not suddenly responsible for the person fixing the air conditioners wages or social status or class. If Food Service workers are underpaid that's a fair point but it's not something for Facebook to fix.

If the idea is just that Facebook employees should be polite and well-mannered two other types of workers in the building that makes sense.

Edit: I just don't get where the line is. If FB uses ChemLawn to fertilize the grounds, are they also responsible for those workers wage rates? What about the HVAC crew, building maintenance (assuming they work for, say, Smith Building Maintenance) ? If ADP does their payroll is FB responsible for those employees wage rate? Security guards? These food service employees work for a company that provides food for more than one company. I just don't get it. Why isn't their actual employer responsible for their wage rate?
hashcat is smart enough in a subtle way. It will not bother with candidates that are unsuitable for a certain hash type.
It checks this after the rules have been applied.
(stusmall's comment explains the influence of rules better than I could). Hashcat shows these candidates as "Rejected".

The interesting part is that you can't configure the minimum or maximum length anymore[1], the restrictions are hard coded for every hash type. This is because for fast hashes the branch introduced by the check would be slower than just hashing away[2].
