For me it’s nice to catch up on the truly personal moments my friends are having. Politics has invaded every aspect of life (professional, media saturation, Internet discussion...) so it’s nice to be able to tailor FB enough to not see it there.
I can't quite parse this sentence: "The Open Images dataset is comprehensive and large, but many of its classes are unbalanced which effects or precision of underrepresented classes." Do you mean "affects our"?
The best idea I've heard is a system that helps people pool their money together to buy expensive single family homes, then split the lot into multiple homes or into a condo.
Also I think it's safe to think that the Silicon Valley region is a pretty unlivable/undesirable place to be, and what's happened to S.F isn't something any city really wants, unless you are filthy rich. "Google Effect" and all...
Keep in mind that Barcelona (with 4 million people, many of them from other regions) is not as pro-independence as the rest. If you take it out of the equation, or look at results per county or town, the thing looks way different:

https://datos.elconfidencial.com/map1-independentismo-catalu...

This map shows yellow where pro-independence parties got more vote than the others.

The tragedy of Catalonia is that the most populated areas are way less pro-independence than the rest of the land. Thus, nationalists only got 48% of total votes, despite winning (clearly) in most counties.
TLDR: They're pushing people to their installment plans, so if you want to pay upfront they'll charge an extra $100.

My guess is this is about profiting off arbitrageurs who plan to resell phones. These people have to pay upfront, and Best Buy wants in on the action.
They also hold over 40% of all of the wealth so it's not that out of proportion. The bottom 90% also have close to 75% of debt. It's not a super convincing counterargument when you look at more than that single vector.

Isn’t the underlying assumption when talking about (air quotes) “cheating” taxes is that taxes are supposed to be redistributive?

If someone is following the letter of the law, how can they be cheating?

Well, they can be cheating if they are violating the ‘spirit’ of the law or some unwritten but generally accepted notion about the law. In this case, that assumption is that taxes should always always be progressive and redistributive, right?

That’s how it’s an alternate view point.

(Personally, I’m in favor of negative income tax, but I think Yaron Brook is a talented thinker and speaker. I did not know this book of his existed, and am glad it was brought up.)
This article is about tax evasion in Denmark, Norway and Sweden.

> It emerges from the underlying mathematics.

Which mathematics?

(Lisp has its own math, for instance.)
Did not know about this, but I read a simplified version of it a long time ago, which said "carefully examine the first choice, reject it, then go for the first choice that is better." Apparently, this would give me an above average option in most cases (did not do the math).

I quite like that and sometimes use it, e.g. to decide which restaurant to have a meal in.

Great, another study showing what we already know. There has been a constant stream of these studies and articles for years now - at least back to the occupy wall street movement.

Governments actually compete to get rich people to invest money into their country, because they would rather get 10% of a big pie than 0 - wealthy people usually have many options on where to invest. Right now, there are cities across the US COMPETING to have Amazon build an office there. Economic incentives will be a big part of whats on the negotiating table of course. When you have that level of money/power, you are effectively negotiating with the government so of course they negotiate better deals for themselves.
They aren't counted because basically they're forced savings. Typically everything you put into SS you'll get back. Lower income folks end up getting more back than they put in. And the same for Medicare. It's a forced insurance payment of sorts.
> Artists generally have a pretty profound application of intellect to their work, which is usually much more conceptually interesting than building a CRUD app.

Deciding to become an artist doesn't make one profound or conceptually interesting. Rather few artists achieve that. The starving artist community generally has not, which is why they are starving.

After all, how many TV shows you watch are "pretty intellectually profound"? And those artists are good enough to get paid for their work, most aren't.
I can't support this at all, and ironically this is partially my fault.

My and @eganist's Black Hat / DEF CON talk "Abusing Bleeding Edge Web Standards for AppSec Glory" demoed an exploit concept that we called "RansomPKP", which was essentially a pattern of hostile pinning that could theoretically enable pivoting from a web server compromise to holding a site for ransom. Hostile pinning was by no means a new concept, and even has some discussion in the IETF spec itself, but we found this to be a fun novel application and used it to spur some minor security improvements to browsers' HPKP implementations.

However, this talk also led to concerns being vocalized about the viability of HPKP in general (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12434585), ultimately leading to this. This was not our intention at all, and I don't see hostile pinning alone as a reason to give up on HPKP.

I would much rather see some discussion around improving the usability of HPKP before jumping straight to putting it on the chopping block — both from a site operator's end and a user end. For example, off the top of my head, why not make it possible for users to click past the HPKP error screen like they can with any other TLS error screen?
True, but you also get paid back based on your Social Security payments (should you live so long). To the extent that it's a forced-savings program, it isn't exactly an income tax.

I would look at integrated economic growth as opposed to the productivity. There are a lot of things that are ultimately cost centers, but promote economic growth. When a high economic growth is integrated over let's say 100 years you get a superpower.

Funnily enough, this is close to a flat tax with the total amount offset by the poverty line (so that the amount paid is zero or negative when income is low).

Added: Something along the lines of 0.16 * income - 0.16 * 12000 or (income - 12000) * 0.16.

It looks like the Samsung rig is doing about 2600Kh/second at about 4W per phone. This is a hash rate of 1538.46 J/GH.

In comparison, the Antminer S9 will do 13Th/sec for about 1275W. This gives a hash rate of 0.098 J/GH.

In essence, an actual bitcoin miner is about 15,000 times more efficient. I'm all for recycling, but this is not an effective solution.

Why not release the documentation for the displays for use in other products, or release technical documentation for other parts of the board? This would be a much better step in recycling instead of building an anemic space heater with bitcoin.

Are any of those statements factually incorrect or otherwise misleading? A critical discussion of methodology is welcome.
The US government does not control the US media in the sense that China or Russia or Saudi Arabia does. In fact, no advanced country with an even marginally-functioning democracy does.

It does exert direct control in certain limited cases, through gag orders and "national security" secrecy laws. That practice has been expanding in the US for the past 16 years, and that's alarming, but still doesn't amount to anything comparable to China's control of the media.

Private groups and individuals with political agendas do control a significant fraction of the US media, however. But, they achieve and maintain this control through normal business means; by spending money and leveraging their resources to expand and consolidate.

We all know by now that Fox News (just the most famous example) is an organization created to disseminate propaganda on behalf of these private interests. However, this group does not align with "the government" -- as the US government changes in response to the tides of the electorate, organizations like Fox News find themselves basically in alignment with the government, then in opposition, then in alignment again.

These organizations by and large stay true to their core mission, which in the case of Fox News is to further the interests of the very rich by advancing a set of themes and grievances that together form a sociopolitical worldview that resonates with enough Americans — even those who aren't wealthy and won't actually benefit when/if that worldview is translated into policy — to give that worldview increased political clout.

So the US media is largely (but still not completely) controlled by a relatively small group of extremely wealthy individuals and interests. That may be harmful to the public interest and undesirable, but it's not the same thing as actual government control of the media as practiced in totalitarian regimes.
Plenty. A consequence of being a founder is that you will have to report results. As well as financial projections. Even if its just to yourself and your "executive team" of one other co-founder. More probably on an investor conference call. Or in legally-actionable board meeting minutes. Perhaps it may even occur live one morning on CNBC's Squawk Box.

You need to know the finances of your own company. And need to know the economics of your chosen space. Cold.

To grow, you need to design for growth. And communicate your business objectives with crystal clarity. To speak intelligently and forthrightly requires you to master the language of entrepreneurship. It begins with your peer network. Reach out to other founders, even competitors. Go to events. Don't be afraid to cold email. Ask direct questions relating to everything and research every concept you don't know.

Also begin a steady diet of news: Economist, Bloomberg, FT, WSJ, Reformed Broker. Treat it like you would an essential component of your startup's "culture". Because you may think the fact that 10Y US Treasury yields are holding above 2.40% doesn't directly effect your company. But it does.

The advantage to begin mastery of econ in your 20s, is that a decade later when you hit 30 and need to make long term decisions out of necessity, it will no longer be guesswork. You'll know mathematically what your risk appetite is. And know on an instinctual level, what separates a good investment from the pack.

As for the social science side, there is no better place to start than the "Neuroeconomics" work of this year's Nobel Laureate Richard Thaler. Start on "Nudge" and "Misbehaving". True game-changers. And then onto Daniel Kahneman's "Thinking Fast and Slow".

And do give credence to the classic that kicked it all off: Adam Smith and "The Wealth of Nations". As important as Descartes, Kant, Locke, Rousseau and Jefferson to our modern world.

Best of luck, dprophecyguy!

1) The biggest reason is label diversity. COCO is a great dataset, but at 90 labels you're going to be missing some potential. The problem with commercial machine learning development is access to data, and with Open Images and it's 545 classification labels we get that diversity.

2) Scaling is hard, Cross-language Interoperability is hard, And bringing your product to market is hard. Algorithmia solves all of those problems with grace and has a development experience that is second-to-none. Don't take my word for it, compare it against tensorflow-serving other competitor technologies.

3) I haven't yet but I could certainly see an improvement in performance, we did notice a dramatic difference between our SSD and faster-rcnn model as was expected. This was only an intro, but if you create a model that performs better than ours, we'd love to host it on Algorithmia.
Creating money by borrowing has a cost (interest rates for the bank and for the developer, plus a loss in credibility of the currency value); attracting foreign investment does not. Otherwise all countries would simply close their borders to capital, and they don't - they are actually desperate to attract foreign capital. The most dynamic economies, like China, hoover foreign investment which they then keep in the system, growing internal liquidity and reserves at no cost and strengthening the currency credibility.
Not while the general fund is allowed to steal from SS and then declare it as "debt".

The vast majority of the US debt is owed to SS recipients.
That's pretty nice!

The veiled argument is that government is very inefficient, more than investments and donations. It is often thought that the 1% would redistribute to the rest, but the government takes quite a commission on that money.

Allowing people to keep their own money does raise the standard of living for all parties involved, but that’s a marginal benefit and not the core ‘argument’ why the wealthy should be allowed to keep what they make.

Why should the government, or the masses, or society be allowed to take people’s money at all in the first place?

You confuse inserting an opinion with having a viewpoint.

The Economist's official editorials (which they call leaders) are separate. There they are quite free with their opinions. Elsewhere, though, they mainly mainly stick to having a viewpoint. Since their founding 1843 they've been firmly in favor of what we'd now call economic liberalism: their perspective is pro-human, pro-freedom, and numerically oriented.

What they don't do much of, though, is conforming to journalistic orthodoxies that came into fashion after they got going. In particular, you seem to want them to ape what journalism professor calls "the view from nowhere": http://pressthink.org/2010/11/the-view-from-nowhere-question...

Having read them for decades, I'm glad they don't. I often disagree with them, but I appreciate their transparency. That's in sharp contrast to "view from nowhere" media where you either have to puzzle out their actual viewpoint or the articles are so watered down that they are nearly useless for understanding anything.

No, but they might only apply to Scandinavia (or high tax countries). For example: if taxes are high, the incentive to avoid more (but also evade) is clearly there.

Most wealthy people don't have an issue paying taxes, say 15-20% of their income (income / dividends / capital gains) -- even if that income runs in the millions. Most have an issue paying excessive taxes, e.g. 30%+, for what they get back from society.

Simple math: the higher the tax rate, the more sense it makes to avoid. And once you've set up the structures to avoid and are taking the risk, you might as well try and bring it as close to zero as possible.

For example, I recently had a friend tell me: I could buy this expensive car every three months, with the amount of tax I pay on my (passive) dividends. Why wouldn't I just move to Monaco (or some other country that doesn't tax their income excessively) and keep that money?

It might be an unpopular opinion, but in my view, he's right. As selfish as it sounds, the fact of just being allowed to live in a certain jurisdiction might not be sufficient for any wealthy person to stick around.
I would be lying if I didn't agree with you. The valuable part is that Tensorflow's extendability and functionality are best in class. Making an object detector in scikit-learn is incredibly difficult, same with torch. Keras definitely can improve the experience but keras is also quite fragile.

As the other commenter said, this sounds a lot like DANE.

As such, it suffers from the same issue: it relies on DNSSEC. If you look at the trust chain for DNSSEC on the .com domain, you are trusting the US government and your registrar. The US government is the bigger issue here, as the NSA is also a part of them.

You might argue that this is 'good enough' but considering the momentum that these kind of systems have, a wrong decision here could really enable NSA spying for a long time. Besides, CT logs seem like a much better solution than key-pinning anyway.
