The most effective evangelists are those who have actually used the tools they're speaking of. And I mean more than for "hello word".

Let me say this: I went to a meetup several months ago for an Angular event. The speaker was horribly unimpressive; quite literally copy and pasted code from the Angular Demo site in-front of us for the "demo", and couldn't answer in-depth questions. No one liked this "evangelist".

In short; have a conviction for what your evangelizing, and dig deep into it.
Quantifying Technical Debt
Your premise doesn’t make sense. A land value tax would not “increase all of their costs at the same time”, unless the tax was implemented in such a way. More realistic would be that the tax would be revenue neutral, such that taxes would increase per unit dwelling on land with poor utilization, but decrease on land with better utilization (i.e denser). This would be reflected in rents and would encourage people to move to denser neighborhoods because the rents would be cheaper.

I truly have no idea what the situation actually is, but here is an, IMO, plausible explanation: policing practices around homelessness have changed as a result of changing attitudes toward the homeless (toward increasing acceptance) and this has created an environment in which the homeless are now able to accumulate possessions and erect semi-permanent shelters. Another, plausible scenario (again, IMO): if certain liberal cities have a reputation for being relatively accepting toward the homeless, there may be a simultaneous net migration of homeless from less accepting parts of the country to these cities.

Most of this was because the top most talent of every third world company wanted and came to the USA. Once they arrived at the US, they used their disproportionate quality of human capital and combined with the immigrant zeal to prove themselves they can succeed at life by doing great things in a new country.

In the past the decade, it has become impossible for most of India and China's best people to come to the US due to very long Green card wait times.

From the Indian perspective alone. Billion dollar start ups and entrepreneurial ventures are popping up all over the country. Even a decade back this was impossible to even think of.

My guess is US is will gradually lose its grip being the economic super power of the world as China and India eat their lunch. It won't happen over a throw of switch, it will be a very gradual prolonged process.
> I saw a documentary which analyzed footage found around 2000 iirc (discovered old footage) of the murder. The conclusion was that due to the wound exit, the shooter could never have been Oswald. It convinced me.

According to Wikipedia, what you may be thinking of is a 2007 discovery of an previously unknown film of that day taken over a minute before the shooting.

That exactly three shots were fired is fairly well-established by the available evidence. That a single shot went through Kennedy's back and throat into Connally is incredibly well-established. This ends up meaning that theories with a second shooter create even larger holes than they're trying to close with the second shooter, sort of like 9/11 controlled demolition theories.

> Who does the American public currently believe to be the shooter? Is there consensus for some theory?

I believe the majority of Americans believe Oswald to be the sole shooter. While a majority do believe in some conspiracy theory, I think the bulk of the conspiracy theory tends to be that Oswald was the shooter for some nebulous conspiratorial group.

Sure, AI can break captcha, but it can be done at scale for far less than an AI research and GPU rig costs.

Google's approach to bot recognition is training their own bots incidentally, so even an adversarial network attempting to bypass it would give it a ton of training along the way to breaking in.

Had all those same problems with an ATI-chipped laptop.

Your problems were not nvidia-specific.

Also: Windows has supported bash for a very long time - under Cygwin. (also Cygwin used to have pretty decent community support, back in the 1990's).

I'll say this also: Ubuntu is probably the EASIEST distro to get into a working state; with either Nvidia or ATI. (the proprietary drivers have their warts - but the worst are in their installers) ... (as long as you aren't itching to get special features working, like power management, or switching, etc - those things DO work, and CAN be made to work, with given chipsets, and kernels, and driver revs - if you're smart, and lucky... for the rest of us, there's the open source drivers, which are generally pretty good, and have gotten MUCH better over the past 10 years).
That's if you can first locate a warm body in your geographical vicinity in the first place.

Seems like a weird regression 16 years after Windows XP shipped with "My Documents".

I used Anaconda for a while, but I've since moved back to CPython. Most packages install fine on Windows using pip now, and the ones that don't is just a download away from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/. Using the standard Python distribution is also nicer because of the python launcher, and it makes .py files executable like .exe and .bat.
Yes, that's right. This is why I'm prototyping with Graphcool + React now instead of Flask... for most CRUD apps it's serverless from my perspective.

I bought a Lenovo Thinkpad W520 back in 2012. This laptop has an NVIDIA Optimus chipset, and for 4 years, I attempted to get triple-head support working under Linux (outputting to the laptop screen, and two monitors). Finally, in 2016, I was able to install the NVIDIA proprietary drivers through apt on ubuntu 16.04, and everything worked, including triple-head support.

Overall, all the hardware in the laptop is now working perfectly, and has been extremely stable. It took a long time, but I'm glad it's finally working using the proprietary drivers. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten this to work yet using nouveau. I'm currently running Mate and XMonad on X, and I have a feeling it's going to be a few more years before I will be able to run Wayland on this machine.
It's an amazing series. Highly recommend it.

Walmart has a large pharmacy business. They attempted to enter the market and bring prices down (they succeeded in a small way, on a selection of common generic prescriptions).

This website's UI is terrible. It automatically suggests domain names instead of let users to input themselves.

Well, put it this way... when an outcome is the product of a collective of individuals, some members of the group may be more competant than others, and different tasks might be carried out with varying degrees of success. Taking it a step further, a group comprised of multiple teams might have one very disciplined team for highly demanding critical tasks, surgical strikes, site reliability, and several weak teams for grunt work, digging ditches, scraping logs, whatever.

In such scenarios, you might see gaps open up in areas viewed as optional drudgery, or dull thankless conveniences.

Consider the Lufthansa heist depicted in the movie Goodfellas. It involved some highly motivated gangsters, who enlisted some sloppy flunkies for assistance. Guys like the getaway driver screwed up and got whacked for failing to dump the getaway car without incident, inviting paranoia that they might arouse suspicion. Then, as paranoia magnified over time, the displined core erased every untrustworthy witness.

The principal stakeholders in an operation will often possess power and skill, but their accomplices might not.

In case it's not clear, capex doesn't avoid income (at least not now). Capex is paid for with (after tax) profits, debt or new capital. Of course depreciation will reduce profits in the future, maybe you mean that.

There is a bit of flexibility in when things are expensed, but there are rules. You cannot buy a building and expense it today. On the other hand, you can spend a lot in marketing or some forms of R&D and you have to expense them now (they cannot be capitalised, even though in fact the return on the investment will come in the future).

Before that election, I can remember having an argument about the need for the NBN with a friend who works for a very large company. He argued that the internet in Australia was fine because their teleconferencing video in the boardroom worked well. I told him that not only would they have had a very specialised connection, that in the very near future, households would see multiple, concurrent, hi-res video streams, and that business demands would be high too.

We're a home of four. It's not uncommon for the kids to be streaming Netflix while I work (with a basketball stream running), and my wife uploads large photos and streams a TV show on her phone while she works. We're still a year away from getting NBN and our internet absolutely crawls.

>I do CUDA work (OpenCL is close, but not nearly as powerful)

Do you mean cuda as a language v/s the latest opencl spec as a language, or implementations ? No one other than Intel is even implementing and updating OpenCL really, and nvidia will always push CUDA over opencl for lock ins. Which is kind of the same thing as every other argument that you can make for nvidia.

For starters, doctors are in a modern guild system. They artificially limit the number of medical schools, increasing the salaries of licensed doctors while limiting the supply. As society ages and needs more medical services, the poor are continually priced out as the supply of doctors is limited artificially.

Although extraordinary unpopular if you speak to doctors (as I have found), drastically increasing the number of doctors would do wonders. I’m sure there is a percentage (2%?) from poor countries that would pass in America as average quality.

Next, transparent pricing. Laser eye surgery has radically improved in quality while decreasing costs because insurance (typically) doesn’t cover it. People want it, but must pay out of pocket, so they shop around and elect to laser eye surgery on their own terms. The result is increased quality at lower prices. Not every medical procedure is this way (such as the emergency room), but perhaps if I needed a knee replaced, and until I did it I merely walked with a cane, I might shop around for the best price and value.

Until transparent pricing happens, and the supply of doctors meets demand, we will simply be passing laws to further warp free market incentives. My hope is that amazon increases the influence of free market mechanics into this horrible system.

This was the exact explanation of housing affordability issues in Sydney and Melbourne and apartment supply has been crancked up with building restrictions dropped to address this over the last 5 years. Number of cranes in these two cities has been compared to total number of cranes in all of Nth America. And still all of this supply has again been followed by constant growth in property prices with no dent in addressing affordability issues.

I think you greatly understimate global forces at play when it comes to speculation levels in this asset class in some major metropolitan cities.
Ok but they do operate at a reasonable approximation. Sure a shop may open at 0800 in one town and not until 1000 in another but are there really places on earth where the shops tend to open at 0100 and close by 0900? Certainly there can't be many.
To be fair, Chinese non-residents of first tier cities also face restrictions, and even residents may face limits on e.g. the number of houses they're allowed to own.
I refuse to feel guilty, but I'm happy to blame the large soulless corporation that created this moral dilemma for me in the first place. I didn't fire those people.

This only gets enforced if there's some sort of lawsuit (which happened recently in LA against a film company). What out of college kids are going to go up against a company or even know?

It's not right, and I see it taken advantage of all the time in LA, but it's what happens, with little oversight or enforcement from the powers that be.
off-topic opportunity: should history be taught in school ? it's a weird blend of nationalist myth, folklore, ignorant (or not) lies and revisionnism.
