Democrats are a big tent party and idealology doesn't rule as a result. When they get ideological they pay dearly, as gay marriage demonstrated. (Lots of older white and black voters stayed home or voted GOP)

Republicans can't win the numbers game so they hammer home on right wing populism. Unfortunately, the last 30-40 years hasn't been kind to the "Main Street" centrist republicans of the past.

How big is the dataset? If it can't ever leave the GPU then it is at most a few GB? Unless there are several GPUs at play then it's N * (a few GB). If there are a few GPUs at play then this dataset would fit into DDR3 RAM on a single mainstream Xeon node, or entirely into MCDRAM on a Xeon Phi node.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

r/LateStageCapitalism is on the front page all the time. Its rules include "Support for capitalism--and the political parties which uphold it--is strictly prohibited". Counterbalanced views are not front paged on a regular basis.

Reddit made sure idiotic pro-Trump subreddits were left off the front page. It didn't do the same for idiotic anti-Trump subreddits.

r/TwoXChromosomes, also regularly appearing on the front page, is about as liberal and pro-choice as you can get.

I don't like Trump at all. All the things going down right now were easy to see coming. But he got well over 40% of the popular vote in the election and still has millions and millions of supporters. Absence of pro-Trump viewpoints on the reddit front page is conspicuous, in my opinion. Likewise any number of other relatively popular viewpoints.

I didn't realize you were anti-UBI altogether. Is this the only reason you are anti-UBI then? But no ideas on how to improve it? And you believe the current welfare complex is superior?

Regardless, I would argue that even with an X-year rule to curb UBI-related immigration, a UBI would be vastly superior to our current system. If the income is truly basic, you have not significantly adjusted demand in the economy against what is already being purchased (to raise prices, as you mentioned) in the "necessity" category, specifically, and the reduced welfare in other areas may actually serve to bring artificial demand down in some cases (e.g. instead of feeling obligated to spend all of your food stamps because you can't use them for something else, people may be more focused on what they need). Yes, the currently homeless will also have money to compete with immigrants for inexpensive housing, but I don't think the formerly homeless would be complaining about that. Will it be harder to be an immigrant than a US citizen? Yes, that has and will always be the case for numerous reasons -- however, I don't think the financial effect of a UBI creates this unlivable economy you describe, and it provides a bright future to look forward to.

Always looking at ways to refine my policy ideas, so thank you for pointing out how extreme 18 years is given how long it already takes to become a citizen. However, it's always nice to see complaints that follow up with proposed solutions, which is unfortunately uncommon on HN political threads.
Not a clue. Never read them before. I simply linked them because they were the first result to come up with sources to Fox Media's own words.
Zamenhof had a famous ethical argument about this (it begins "Ofte kunvenas personoj de malsamaj nacioj kaj komprenas unu la alian", 'People of different nations frequently encounter and understand one another', and you can find a lot of copies of it online, although I didn't immediately find an English translation). He felt that it was unfair that native speakers of a language that's used in international communication will have an advantage in fluency (and learning effort) compared to non-native speakers, and argued that these were reasons that the eventual international language should not be any community's native language.

However, he was also fighting (and is still fighting) very significant economic or incentive issues. Even before the era of English as an international language, there was always an obvious incentive to learn the most widely spoken or prestigious language or languages in one's region -- such as the language of a nearby large, rich country. People still feel that incentive today and the benefits of learning specific languages of wider communication or languages of prestige can be very tangible. And there are definitely people who feel that it's unfair that they have to learn English rather than English-speakers having to learn their language (and it is!), but many of them learn English anyway because they can clearly see the benefits.

Having a really apparent worldwide Schelling point of "everyone in the world in going to learn this" or "enough people already know this that it's clearly useful for international communication" would help Esperanto tremendously, and Esperanto did have momentum of that kind at one point, but according to the Esperanto Museum in Vienna it seemed to lose it in the course of the World Wars.

> Do you know why it was created? To have one language for communication for the whole world unencumbered by historical baggage of politico-cultural domineering (e.g., prevalence of english due to British imperialism). (among other reasons).

Which is actually quite a farce. Esperanto is largely a language that's vaguely Slavic in grammar and strongly Polish in phonology, with vocabulary largely derived from Slavic, Romance, and Germanic languages. In other words, Esperanto is a "world language" that comes from a time where "world" meant "Europe", and it largely assumes that Indo-European language peculiarities are fairly universal in languages (they're not).

The question is whether smaller humans live longer, and we should have plenty of data on that. Here's a study published in the Western Journal of Medicine that cites "FINDINGS SUGGESTING THAT SHORT STATURE IS HEALTHIER": https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1071721/

e.g. "The researchers, Willcox etal, did not attribute this superior health to genetics because when younger Okinawans migrate to mainland Japan, Hawaii, or the United States, they soon acquire the chronic diseases of the host population. The Okinawans are shorter and weigh less than mainland Japanese, and men aged 87 to 104 years average 145.4 cm (4ft 9 in) and 42.8 kg (94lb)."

A long-ish read.

In Indian malls, there are so many helpers standing around that if you lift up a merchandise, you'll be jump scared by someone asking you how she can help you. People are also used to asking the prices of the items, even though just flipping around would reveal the tags that clearly earmarks the final price (all tax and details). Indian are more used to DIFM (Do it for Me) than the western DIY culture.

Personally, I usually go on weekdays and I can have about 3+ people buzzing around me trying to help me decide what I want to buy. They all are my personal Siri for that location and context.

The labor market is also so cheap that Indians can afford to get much cheaper manual solutions than the one time bigger investment in automation and technology. Most people also know that it is more economical in the long run but don't really want to wait for the far-future gain.

If I hire a wash-helper to just wash my clothes twice a week, it will cost me just about ₹1000 ($15) (or even less) a month in Bangalore. A good washing machine (no dryer) will set you back by about ₹30,000($466). At that rate, I can have the wash-helper wash my clothes without failing or consuming electricity for 2+ years.

Very similar with a Dishwasher. A dishwash-helper can equivalently go on for 3+ years without any mechanical failure, no electricity consumption and you can talk to her. No annual maintenance needed either.

In early 2005, I was speaking at my first international conference and had my first US culture experience. There was a big mall opposite the Hyatt, Dearborn (forgot the name). I went in at a store and there was nobody to help me. The unmarked labels didn't help either. I did realize that I had to scan the barcode with a scanner (attached at quite convenient locations) and shows me the price details including the state tax. Manual labor is costly stateside and automation and modernization can bring in huge ROI. In India, anything that is a DIY needs someone to show them the DIY to the people.

So, when the transport minister says what he says, it is so easy for him to look for all the easier and more comfortable routes - just get someone to do it, "drive the car". We are a country where if Ikea comes in, my advice will be to have an army that can go and assemble their furniture at the customer location.

You, me and the people who think about automation, thinking 10 years ahead etc are far and few in between, especially in India, so he will very likely win.

Hell, many other politicians and fanatics are fighting over the exclusion of the word "cow" in public exhibitions such as movies.
It is easy to shit on the politician's statement, but at least try to understand where they are coming from. India is facing massive crises on multiple fronts. Huge number of youth enter the job market every year and there simply aren't enough jobs to go around. Driving employs a lot of people who vote, so he can't just ignore their concerns.

In many states, unemployed youth are likely to create a law and order crisis or exacerbate one that already exists. Neither does India have a huge amount of money lying around to fund something like UBI.

However, this situation didn't just happen on its own. Indian bureaucracy stifles private businesses by all kinds of vague regulations. A lot of effort is needed to rectify this and some people in power understand this, though it would take some time for them to bring the rest of them on board.

Secondly, the automobile industry in India is extremely significant. I believe they also bring in a substantial amount of foreign exchange now. If the global market is moving towards driverless technology, then India's corporates can't afford to be left behind. And they will put a lot of pressure on the law makers.

Finally, these politicians aren't very principled people. They will definitely change their tune under the right circumstances.
I don't know that there's one universally right "line" that can be drawn. Everyone has their personal line. For me, my personal line is to never compromise who I am, no matter the cost. I'd love it if my country were the same. If I die in a terrorist attack that could have been prevented through illegal surveillance, I'm okay with that (the dying, not the surveillance.) Law enforcement should do its best to prevent attacks within the framework of our laws and our values. Attacks that get through are not necessarily a failure in our intelligence or law enforcement personnel or processes. Some amount of failure is not only acceptable, it's also to be expected.

We, as citizens, need to do our part to keep perspective in the wake of attacks. Yes, they're scary, but they're rare and we should be able to endure them without getting hysterical. But I agree with our founders that we have certain inalienable rights that don't go away just because someone might be a criminal. And while privacy isn't explicitly enshrined in our bill of rights, it's completely within the spirit of that document. Aviation engineers don't try to get the coefficient of gravity changed. It's an immutable constant that's part of the framework in which they do their work. Privacy should, likewise, be an immutable constant that's part of the framework in which law enforcement tries to prevent and solve crime.

Where I work, the VPE signed up for Code Climate. Code Climate also gets our code by asking for git creds, making it very clear what they're doing.

Installing Kite and accidentally allowing them to sucker me into uploading the entire corporate source tree -- quite possibly with creds -- is literally a walk you out fuckup. At bare minimum I would have to page ops and roll creds on every bit of prod. Want to know why there's both a gitignore and a git commit hook making sure 'config/creds.py' is not uploaded anywhere?

There's virtually no ethical way to build that dialog unless you put 40 point red font saying "We upload your entire source tree" and make you wait 10 minutes before continuing. This is not a decision line level devs are allowed to make on their own, and Kite tricks them into doing exactly that.
Irrationality is increasingly well supported by empirical evidence from economics and political science.

As for people's motivations to seek out fear-inducing information, you are quite right that some of that is motivated by rsk management but a great deal more of it cannot be explained on utilitarian grounds. freud theorized the existence of a death drive in humans as a correlate of consciousness, suggesting that infants dealt with their anxiety about the intermittent unavailability of their mothers by modeling their anxiety through play so as to assert control over its manifestations.

As far as learning Esperanto is concerned, English is just as much a Romance language as Spanish or Italian.

In my travels I've found English language proficiency to be exaggerated. First, almost every country lies about the degree and extent of proficiency among its population. Second, where you do see relatively decent English language proficiency, you'll also often see a creole emerging. For example, Singlish. Once the the global cultural dominance of Hollywood peaks (maybe it may already peaked?), expect English to begin to slowly fragment.

For various reasons I think Esperanto would be a great international auxiliary language, in large part precisely because of widespread familiarity with English. Esperanto might not be a reasonable choice today given the dominance of English, but the case for Esperanto will only get stronger.

I say this as someone who absolutely sucks at learning new languages. I don't even know Esperanto; I've only dabbled in it a little. But put me in a room with native English speakers from rural Ireland, a rich Indian neighborhood, or teenage girls from Singapore, and on some days I'd understand them better if they were actually speaking Esperanto.

Uhaul 2-3000k
Hotel during moving 80/night * 6 days = 480
fuel for other vehicle on trip (presumes two cars, and uhaul can haul one) = 350
food on trip = 720 dollars (assuming 40/meal (assumes $8/pp) and you eat fast food)
3 nights of hotel upon arrival = 300 (more expensive in city.)
2 months of food on arrival for a family of 5 for two months, assuming you can cook at home 5 (head) * 3 (meals) * 4 (dollars per person) * 60 (days) = 3600 dollars.
apartment 800 (first month) +800 (security) +800 (last month) +800 (second month) +200 (key fee, background check) = 3400
Starting up utilities (power/internet) = 300
Cell Phone 100

Total: 11250

Now this is my worst case for a family of 5 - in all likelihood, move in costs could be lower, food on the road might be cheaper, and food at home could be much cheaper - but the 10k number was picked because you need an emergency cushion - my original back of the napkin (literal) showed about 8500 dollars, which would leave you more cushion for the unexpected.

So while I agree with you.. that I could move cross country for 5k - I don't think I could move a family of 5 cross country for 5k.

Their combined pretax income is like 74k - that means their take home is probably closer to 58k - a 2300 dollar apartment is a stretch on 8k - it would be a stretch for me and I make considerably more.

I think that's reductionist.

People also want reasons for things. They don't want complex reasons for high rent, terrorism, racial injustice, mass murder, low employment, stagnant wages, the lack of community support, etc. They want clarity. And "it's complicated" doesn't satisfy emotionally.

So we take a half truth (to be generous) and make it the whole truth. Someone is to blame. Therefore they must be powerful enough to be to blame. Therefore they must be dangerous. And dangerous now, not later. Otherwise we won't do anything about it.

So we can blame boredom or chemical responses for the desire for fear, but there are higher brain functions mixed up in this as well.
I don't have advice but my personal experience is that lifting weights is easy but cardio is almost impossible.

I don't really fast on purpose but I mostly eat one large meal a day (dinner). I workout in evenings before dinner.

I do snack if I get hungry maybe around 4PM. My snacks are usually Lay's chips. Sometimes, I get a Gatorade for gym.

I can lift about as heavy as if I had a big lunch but cardio is different story. If push myself as hard as one days when I had lunch or a lot snacks, I will start to see stars. I go a lot slower with cardio then. (Seeing stars or vision going white is sign of sudden drop in blood sugar level).

MapD customers typically run our product on multiple servers with multiple GPUs per node. So 4 servers with 8 Nvidia P40s each has 4X192GB = 768GB of VRAM. Note MapD compresses data and also keeps data in CPU RAM as needed. Even two servers with these GPUs or 4 servers with gamer GPUs is enough to query and visualize an 11B record shipping dataset without a hitch (https://www.mapd.com/demos/ships), a demo running on four servers with 8 Nvidia 1080 Tis each.

Other customers with smaller datasets (i.e. less than a few hundred million records) are able to run with a single GPU.

We're not going after petabyte size datasets (where <100ms querying is rarely important), so ability to scale has rarely been an issue.
That's true as far as it goes, but the emphasis on terrorism in the media is wildly disproportionate to the measurable risks. Compare the ubiquity and intensity of anxiety about climate change, whose existential impact is arguably far more widespread and vastly better quantified.

Consider in the light of this discussion that rural voters appear (by inference) to be more concerned about terrorism than urban ones, despite the actual impact of terrorism falling far more heavily on the latter group (unsurprisingly, given the lack of meaningful targets in rural areas).
