I remember very distinctly at the end of May being in New York for a holiday, walking through Central Park listening to a The Verge podcast discussing Magic Leap's amazing technology that they've been working on for the past n years. Over a year later still nothing close.

Ironically, Magic Leap will always remind me of Central Park.
Not really. It's a commonly proposed application for blockchains, but calling most of those immature would actually be generous. The only one I'm aware of is Substratum, but I honestly don't know whether it's a fly-by-night ICO or not.
If we're seeing articles like this I'm guessing they are preparing to do another round of funding?

The only time these guys ever make the news is just before they raise a massive heap of capital, and this news looks just as vacuous as all the other news they release.

Just based on the HoloLens having a product out already (even if only a dev version) it seems to me like Magic Leap is way behind.

It wasn't a Muslim ban. The ban didn't include Malaysia, Indonesia, or Algeria for instance and many other Muslim countries. There were 6 countries on the travel ban list. There are 50 Muslim-majority countries in the world.

This trend is based in our culture's obsession with equality of outcomes. Rather than telling those who are struggling to change culture or virtue -- we assume the "system" is at fault and force a change there. As the author pointed out, HS graduation rate is the symptom not the cause to be treated.

As an example, asians whether immigrant or American-born typically have the best credit, highest graduation rates, pursue higher education, and have the highest paying / stable jobs of any culture.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ethnic_groups_in_the_U...

Either you are racist and think "asians are better than everyone else", or you have to concede that culture and virtues are the cause -- since they too are in the same education system. They simply emphasize the right priorities, convey those to children, and teach functional life skills (conscientiousness, hard work, etc).

Internic used to send you a paper invoice a few months after registering a .net, you then had to tear it off and send a us$70 check to them - and this applied if you were in the UK too, that all changed with joker.com iirc. Nominet system was just poorly engineered, slow (occasionally took hours) and damn right nasty to use in an end to end automated fashion - parsing emails for clues of errors etc.. The Oracle upgrade was just OTT for a system managing maybe 5m domains at the time (not an NS provider, although maybe they managed a root), the early 2000 version of big data, big money and loads of golf (Im guessing on the golf).
This. I recently started my own business, and having an accountant explain to me all the different legal ways of optimizing the tax foot print of myself and my business has definitely been an eye opener.

It's also been humbling. When I was just an employee, I used to wonder why taxes couldn't just be a simple linear function of income. These days, I have a much greater appreciation for the complexities involved in designing taxes such that they maximize income for the state (local or otherwise) while still being a fair system by some measure, possibly determined by ballot boxes every four years or so.

> You may be confusing money and capital. Money velocity is almost always good.

I am not confusing anything. Increasing the velocity of money is not always good. In fact, under some schools of thought, long-term increases in the velocity of money are neutral-to-slightly-bad.

> If someone buys infrastructure bonds

Increasing the expense of saving capital means increasing the expense of bonds, which decreases the incentive to buy them in the first place.

> you have lots of money moving with velocity.

Uh, no, the tail end of that process does describe consumption behavior, but this situation actually has very little to do with the velocity of money, since we haven't addressed the propensity to spend that money a second time within any finite timespan.
What about a business that is worth 10 million dollars but has a bad year and makes no profit. So now the owner has to pay a tax on the 10 million dollar wealth and liquidate his business ?
And there you sit with probably $50k-100k in assets while the average African has less than one thousand dollars.

If you truly wanted the "revolution" to be fair, then all the money would go to third world countries and you'd be left with $3000. But nope, you actually want to be allowed to steal from the rich so you can live an American middle class life without having to work.

Indeed; several months ago I used an anonymous-at-the-time internal feedback mechanism to submit a note about how the CEO's top-down religious decisions affect me. Since then, the only thing that's happened is that the internal feedback mechanism was made no-longer-anonymous.

I'm one worker bee among thousands, sitting on the opposite coast in a different office from the CEO, with (last I counted) 8 layers of management between me and the CEO. If any change is going to happen, it's much more likely that the change will be delivered to my employment status, so I keep my head down and learn to tactfully avoid subjects that could get me in hot water for simply being different from the folks in power. A kind of "script switching", if you will.
> And a new proper language / representation would be a lot of work...

I don't think a new language would be needed, and most of the work has already been done in projects like LINQ. You'd just need to expose a stable AST front-end, which would be a lot easier than a whole new parser. I mean, it's just relational algebra right? ;-)

What you're witnessing is an example of the very thing the article is about. Calling out the SJWs on their bad behavior is not acceptable.
In 2016 GE (for example) spent 5.5 billion on R&D. Their CEO Jeffrey Immelt made about 20 million.

I don't think a 0.363% increase in the R&D budget would make much of a difference.

Nonononono. There's a reason makefiles have been reinvented 400 times: they're a nightmare. I don't love the alternatives, but they are pretty much all universally better.
On a side related note, YouTube Red still isn't available worldwide, so most people outside the US don't even have the option to pay for background/PiP. It's a subpar user experience by design and Google apparently doesn't care at all (it's been years now). Also, still no speed control on the mobile YouTube app. All of this being true even on Android O.

As most people, I cannot avoid using YouTube, but everytime I need background play of podcast-like content, I default to another activity (eg actual podcast app, an audiobook, whatever). Typical case is when you need to communicate at the same time, or do 'stuff' while listening. When you add it all up, that's hours everyday lost from me. And I'm just one user, iirc the majority of human beings don't live in the US...

It's frustrating that you can't even pay to resolve the issue, let alone knowing that they themselves placed a restriction (background play) that didn't exist in the first place. Reminds me of the worst from the likes of MS, Apple, Oracle, Verizon.
At-large people are more interested in Bitcoin in the news. I personally agree with you at Ethereum being more interesting, and much more central to the ICOs issue, but it's also less stable (bigger swings in price), and higher risk (risk/reward) while being newer, and more unknown in the market.

My dad has started sending me Bitcoin news. I'm so proud. I was proud at first when he was able to find Bitcoin news in his regular news sources. I'm even more proud now that he's sending me news with relevant, quality information that I hadn't already heard!

It is not that strange though, when you consider the market cap of Bitcoin today is $71B and the cap of Ethereum is $28B (and is measured in bitcoin, at least on the first Google result that I was able to find.) Is a 30% drop in ETH prices really bigger news than a 20% drop in Bitcoin prices?

Bitcoin was the first mover, basically made the market, and has all of the mindshare. It's basically the USD of cryptocurrencies.
You need to put the video and audio streams together, though. Which requires a transcode pass.

Since it'd be us, collectively, as a society who would benefit it'd make sense for us, collectively, as a society to pay.
Is there a good solution to that problem, though? (Serious question). I recently did a laptop refresh and am using it as an opportunity to solidify my approach to ML development, and would love to hear if there is a good solution to long-term reproducibility. I'm currently leaning towards Docker, but maybe Vagrant or another "pure" VM approach is better...

How do you call it junk science?

From your second link, conclusions section:

>Nonetheless, the evidence overwhelmingly supports the tripartite pattern: (1)Although errors, biases, and self-fulfilling prophecies in person perception, are occasionally powerful, on average, they tend to be weak, fragile and
fleeting; (2) Perceptions of individuals and groups tend to be at least moderately, and often highly accurate; and (3) Conclusions based on the research on error, bias, and self-fulfilling prophecies routinely overstate their power and pervasiveness, and consistently ignore evidence of accuracy, agreement, and rationality in social perception.

Namely point 1, which points out it is valid science. Point 3 is the criticism that it is vastly overstated, and personally I would add it is used as a political tool far more than it should be. But the science isn't junk.
Ok, yeah. But as a barometer of attitude, that's a lot of people who agree that affirmative action is a bad idea. It's not an unassailable tenet of American politics.
A map of a 65536-bit universe
I think the reason this is all coming to a head now is that it's harder to hide your opinions, or rather it's easier to unintentionally air them to a broader audience than you might prefer. Social media makes it too easy to inadvertently make a political statement. See elsewhere in this thread where a commenter mentions being unfriended by people for congratulating his sister on her wedding to another woman. It's easier for people to police the details of their acquaintances lives and it's harder to hide your differences by compartmentalizing. It's probably a good thing in the long term because people are becoming more accepting, but in the short term it's definitely introducing frictions where otherwise a little tact could avoid a conflict altogether.

Here we go with another nazi attempt to lecture us on civil liberties. If they had more political power (and I shudder at the notion), they would be the first ones to clamp down on speech and free expression (it's kinda their thing).

We have more pressing free speech matters at hand right now with authoritarian states and corporate monopolies. Nazis don't get a free ride on the hard work being done just so they can turn the gun around on us when they have power. We recognize racism and sexism for what it is, and don't let it distract us from building a better society for us all.

Often it goes hand in hand with Regulatory Capture, where corporations pay money to corrupt legislators (I know, a redundant statement) to get the loopholes only they can use inserted into law on the sly.
I've been pointing out that some of the same organizations who have been lobbying for net neutrality as an anti-censorship necessity are leading the charge of censoring reprehensible speech. It seems pretty short-sighted, but luckily for them, the mob tends to have a short memory, so they will probably still be able to cast net neutrality as anti-censorship at the next opportunity, and still exclude themselves from the regulated parties.

You would do a flat tax on anything above X, where X is essentially a number calculated on base living costs in your area for the number of people in your household. Anything above X is taxed at a flat rate. This ensures people can afford to live and meet their minimum requirements. It also makes it so that the tax code is extremely simple.

For me personally - I would add one more change that most people don't like. I would put an actual cap on total income tax that can be paid in a single year. The reason for this is that these progressive systems act as a social welfare system that transfer money. That's why people propose a flat tax. Well, flat tax is much better but still presents the possibility for a wealthy person to pay, for example, 200k in income tax in a year. A lot of people would say "so what?". Well, I believe income tax shouldn't be treated as a maximum pain threshold. The basis of taxation is to fund public goods. We all consume roughly the same amount of public services on average. If someone is paying something like 200k a year in income tax they are paying way, way above anything they could possibly consume in public goods/services for that year.
At the current American rates probably, but in countries with universal healthcare the costs are not ridiculously inflated by a Byzantine system.

I worked 3 years as a Resident Director. I blame the low academic standards for this way of college. People drop out of college just because they can't get to their seats for class on time and can't hand in assignments. The cost of failing to do these things don't really kick in federally till after their sophomore year.

I can't tell you how many people were dumbfounded that their 1.25 GPA meant they had to go to community college to bring up their GPA before they could continue the "College Life." Or they just bum around the college for 2 years + working a mind numbing job.

I have had a few success stories in my years in college life. I kind of hate seeing young adults throwing away and just wouldn't let their lack of life skills destroy their potential. It usually meant a meeting in my office where I have backing powder and hydrogenation peroxide and me knocking on their dorm door at 8 AM for a month.
It's bad to see someone ignoring previous work done and assuming that doing things by hand necessarily means doing it better or more efficiently. ncurses has optimization routines in it, and replicating them in your own project is bloat and, frankly, not something you're likely to do better.

Magic Leaps stuff is trying to be the next step beyond phone AR and is a big step up if they can get their immersive AR right. It's similar to the difference between early VR headsets that could only track orientation vs the Vive's room scale position tracking. They're both VR but the difference in utility and enjoyment is massive. I think we'll see the same thing with phone AR vs headset/goggle AR.

Though personally I'm not pinning many hopes on Magic Leap specifically given how little we've seen of their actual device and how vague they are about actual progress.

Just ran across this: Scott McNealy's answer to "why didn't Sun sell to IBM":

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/12/07/mcnealy_sun_and_ope...

"One of the issues I had with one of the other suitors was there was a complete overlap in what they did and what we did, and I could see 100 per cent of the Sun employees getting fired," McNealy told us. He didn't name names, but he was referring to IBM's bid for Sun. IBM had competed heavily with Sun for decades on processors, servers, Unix, Java tools, middleware, and open source. There weren't too many areas where they didn't overlap.

"At least with Oracle, they weren't in the hardware business, the operating systems business — the places and spaces where I saw chance for some Sun employees to keep their jobs, and that for me was an important consideration," McNealy said.
Very vague on details. No links to exact researchers or their findings.

Does anyone know more about this?
Thank you for staying level-headed here. This is indeed a gray area question, and it's worth having a debate over. No one is clearly in the right.
Because most loopholes are in fact deductions that are there for a reason.

The overall tax rate is too high (or it would be too expensive to lower the overall rate), so politicians give certain people sweetheart deals on certain things because they consider it relevant, thus offering someone, somewhere a tax break. Others are then free to use the same deduction for their benefit.

The wealthy aren't stupid. They're generally quite pragmatic and flexible when it comes to making money.
