Sure, hate the rich, it doesn't prove you have compassion for the poor. What you are stating as a threat is really the 'protection' of private property. Something that a poor person has access to as well, and in fact the utilization of such could allow them to come out of poverty.

As far as your remarks on power, I hope you also understand it isn't a replacement for a hierarchy built on competence. Something that the Capitalist system seems to reward as well...interesting...
I fear it would backfire. I’m sure there are groups already claiming this article either:

I think your idea means well but might not be in touch with the rampant abuse of subsidies given to those who qualify to receive them. Google (or similar) "ebt card abuse" and it's shameless and appalling. I'd conjecture that the aversion to the idea of being able to "lift up those" so needy is itself just skepticism at the ability to do so, given the rampant fraud. That's totally a sad conjecture to make, I must say.

My current philosophy on this is use always start from scratch if I can. This would be the case where I'm using something that is statically compiled, or a standalone go binary.

If I need more facilities from an OS, then I try to use a micro-distribution like Alpine. This could be because I have a more complex go binary, or if I have a python script that I want to execute.

If Alpine isn't cutting it, then I go for something like Ubuntu. This is typically because Alpine doesn't have some library that I need, or because musl libc isn't behaving properly.

Bitcoin isn't even inherently deflationary. Inflation and deflation (as the words are commonly used) are set by supply and demand. The whole point of central banks is to control supply to steady the price.

It's only deflationary when demand rises. Demand could fall because of a shrinking bitcoin economy or because the velocity of bitcoin increases.

Certainly some people got out of the dot-com era and did very well even if you exclude the Mark Cubans and Elon Musks of the world. I'm sometimes annoyed at myself that I didn't get into some stocks I actually knew a lot about early on although I didn't have a lot of money to invest at the time.

I was more talking about day traders specifically. I suspect most of them burned up their capital at some point or other. And a lot of this is probably related to the maxim that when taxi drivers start offering you investment advice, it's likely time to get out.

You might want to understand the existing structure of government before you propose replacing it on a whim.

Here are some questions to get you started:

* Why is there a Constitution?

* Why are there 3 co-equal branches of government? What are they all there for?

* Why is there an electoral college?

* Why are Senators allocated by state while House members are allocated by population?

* Why do House members have 2 year terms and Senators have 6 year terms?

* Why do the courts exist?

* Why does the executive branch exist?
In what way does an exchange like Coinbase require liquidity through bank loans to operate? If you sell bitcoin for USD you're selling to another buyer who deposited USD. It's just shifting balances around.
PART I: If you're looking to improve your Page Rank you need to understand the basics of SEO. Basically you need to increase your Domain/Page Authorities. How? By creating links to your web pages from domains that have high authorities... e.g. Reddit, Hacker News, etc. You get a huge bonus if your website is being mentioned by other big websites within the same categories. If you're selling cars and your website is mentioned on dog.com, it might boost your authority but not the quality of this reference (also known as the Spam Score).

PART II: Let's say we're back in the 90's and you just purchased the domain name pizza.com, assuming your website is about pizzas... then forget PART I, you'll rank #1.

Few of the privatised enterprises in Bulgaria actually remained profitable, but their new owners (ex-communists and foreigners with questionable reputation) benefited greatly mostly from inheriting their assets like buildings and production lines, which were quickly disassembled and sold for hefty sums. Those money were then spent on luxury cars and political bribery, not reinvested in any way.

If you had a large choice of ISPs, then Net Neutrality wouldn't be required. It would come by default as the client could move from a restrictive ISP to a less restrictive one.

Since there is virtually no competition in large parts of the world, it is very important to force the single monopoly to behave in the interest of the consumer with laws.

The regulations the author is talking about are not the same regulations that enforce net neutrality. Net neutrality has nothing to do with sharing telephone poles.

It is not a new phenomenon.

It is not even a new technique for the specific group (James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas) organizing this instance, which has repeatedly and notoriously used similar false-flag techniques to attempt to discredit organizations that are (or are perceived by them to be) on the left side of the American political spectrum.
AFAIK it does happen a lot. Normally it just wouldn't be publicized. This time they figured out it was not only false but an organized disinformation campaign and invested the time in documenting that instead.

The seller and the buyer have to agree on means of payment. So your question is really, "why would I not sell my product ONLY for bitcoin." And the answer is because you'd lose almost all your sales.

If Amazon offers bitcoin I just won't use it. If they only offer bitcoin I'll use Jet or Walmart.com.

Don't paint this as 'Veritas serving its function', their function is not to evaluate but to discredit. They take secret recordings, then create videos using completely out of context clips to push right-wing agendas. Just like the whole 'nothing-burger' video.

I'm sure if the reporters had responded to this fake woman's story with any soundbites about how it would effect Moore's election results, regardless of if they published anything or if they kicked her out the door the next minute they would put up a video about how "WaPo reporters are desperate to destroy the honorable Roy Moore!"; just look here is one saying this fake story would be bad for his campaign!

Disgusting.

That Portugal example... you realize it's the same in several countries, including the UK?

The difference being that Net Neutrality exists in EU, and instead of an "unlimited" package being much more expensive, it is the lesser packages that are cheaper. Subtle, I guess, but big difference.

Most consumers don't give a fuck though, which is really bad.
> Some people may hate trump but they also know in a few years people will have the option of voting for someone else.

This is the thing where I am not sure of, and this is the problem. You remember "Lock her up"? Who can guarantee that Trump is not going to follow through on this promise? Who can guarantee that Trump will not again cooperate with the Russians in order to get reelected? Or for what its worth who can guarantee that Trump won't pardon himself (or fire Mueller) when the fire of the Mueller investigations grows too hot - and then, who can guarantee that the Republicans will grow the spine to impeach him?

The perspective of a possibility of change in three years is growing slimmer and slimmer by the day, with each moderate Republican getting replaced by an alt-righter. And you better hope no other Supreme Court justice dies or retires as long as Trump is in power - because then nothing that challenges gerrymandering will pass the SC.
Seems very similar to using RL to tune the hyperparameters. Surely that means there are hyperparameters for PBT that need to be set, such as the exploration vs exploitation tradeoff.
No, net neutrality rules have been around since 2004. Before that there wasn't much need because dial-up was regulated as a telephone service which have had their own neutrality regulatioins since forever.

Those early rules were largely voluntary but the FCC did take companies to court to enforce them with varying levels of success. It was this variability and a judicial erosion of what was considered permissible along with some fairly egregious shenanigans by internet service providers that pushed the Obama administration to formally reclassify broadband as a telecommunication service to put back in place net neutrality rules that stood before in the days of dial-up.
The main cause of the Apple III's thermal issues was Job's instance that computers should be quiet with no fan and no vents.

There’s a similar right of passage for Deep Learning engineers using python and Keras - every single one of us has been burned by waiting for a week for a model to train, only to find “h5py” is not installed, exception is thrown and all work lost. (That’s the python module used for persistence of the model weights)

Then the young grasshoppers learn about checkpointing and using our dev ops systems to make sure the environment is up to spec, but I feel this has to happen at least once to each Deep Learning researcher

I believe to be stable Bitcoin market cap should go much higher than it is now. It needs to be at the point where it's hard for someone even with a lot of money to manipulate it. It should be at the level where governments are afraid to seriously tamper with it because it can cause global recession.

My long term bet is that it will get there at some point. It might be in 5 years, 10 years or more, but we will get there. We are in a bubble now, but that's just market/human nature and I don't see any way to avoid it. This bubble will pop. There might be more bubbles to come, but what doesn't kill it makes it stronger.
> in some respects it's hard to come back at Project Veritas

outright lying and fabricating stories to try and discredit news organizations seems like it can come back on your no matter what happens.

In this case, Veritas has egg on its face, one of its employees is now outed, and everyone that they "may" have been able to expose that wasn't already on high alert for these frauds is. They've managed to not only prove WP follows proper journalist practices, but they've also given warning to those that don't to be extra careful of them.

WP on the other hand, appears to have done what it usually does, vets information and publishes what it finds. They come out a huge winner over doing nothing, which is exactly the opposite of what Veritas was trying to accomplish.
Almost all US addresses have a choice between the local cable monopoly at 150Mbps+ or a variety of DSL companies at one tenth that speed. That's not much of a choice at all.
Unfortunately, they do it on purpose to ticket you. The planning consists of "How can we extract the maximum number of tickets out of people?"

Between midnight and 8AM, they put up a sign saying there will be street cleaning today. Every day, when you wake up for work, you must check your car. If there's no open spot on the same street, it can sometimes take up to an hour to locate a valid spot elsewhere in the city. (Most streets require a city sticker zoned to your location, meaning you can't just park anywhere.)

After a few years of this treatment, you'll stop feeling like it's possible to just obey the law. They're out to extract money from you, and the proof is that no one shows up to sweep the streets. Only to write you tickets.

The opening concept reminds me of Cogito[1], an old Apple IIgs game where all the controls were a lie.

There's a 9x9 grid of black/white stones, and you have to make it look like a target pattern by sliding the rows/columns. In level 1, the controls work just like you would expect. In higher levels, the controls are always consistent within the level, but they're not predictable. Clicking the button to slide the top row to the right, for example, might instead move the 4th column down by 2 spaces. Of course, there's no undo, and clicking the button to slide the top row left probably does not move the 4th column up by 2 spaces. I'm not sure if you were even guaranteed that every control had an inverse.

I think in one of their later trailers/demos they admitted that it was just "too hard". It didn't really have a gradual tutorial system like this webpage suggests, though.

There are existing answers to these questions. It's not a grand mystery.

Instead of merely repeating the questions, you should explain why the answers to those questions are wrong.

I think you're overly consumed with the political dramas of the present and haven't really thought through questions about what a good system of governance looks like.
It's probably just an algorithm misfiring.

I don't like the censorship approach to combat miss information, I think the problem is digitising social interactions without including the social safeguard dynamics.

What I mean is, the problem is not the malicious information but the lack of accountability for those who introduce the fake information. In a real life, if someone starts a false rumour, although the virility can still happen, when the rumour gets debunked it usually brings punishment to the person who started it.

On the social media, there's no accountability as creating an account and run it programatically is much easier than growing an adult and interact with it in multiple social circles.

No, they aren't, because the price of BTC is growing exponentially without necessarily having dollar deposits grow at the same time. Here's a worked example.

In a closed system:

Day 1: $1 buys 1000 Marmotcoin

Day 2: $1000 buys 1 Marmotcoin

Day 3: 1000 Marmotcoin attempts to sell for $1,000,000

That's what the initial phases of a liquidity shock will look like. I can almost guarantee you that retail operations all have bank liquidity facilities to deal with sudden upswings in withdrawal demand, otherwise they have to commit house money to cover it.
Not the GP but I'll take a stab at.

1. Bandwidth has increased (slowly, but it has)[0] making streaming more prominent. More people are watching media on mobile devices, meaning less likely to use traditional media delivery services. The market delivered services catering to peoples desires as hardware (processing power, more and better GPU's in smaller and smaller devices), bandwidth and software (dynamic video quality changes and I'm sure lots of things I don't know about) have improved.

2. Maybe the capability was there 10 years ago to some extent but that is true of many advancements, it is a combination of social pressures and technology that push things. Just because streaming wasn't a thing while it was technically possible doesn't mean that you can discount the fact that it wasn't a thing and now it is. It takes time for new things to take hold and the beginnings of it probably started more or less as soon as the technology allowed for it.

3. It isn't now, which is why it could afford to pay up and survive, but what if it wasn't? I'm not sure what kind of point you are trying to make exactly.

That author keeps referring to the “end of their sigmoid curve.” It’s not a sigmoidal function; new accounts aren’t finite. If engagement took off again, they can have another log phase.

Would love to see a citation for this, most people (my view is US-centric) have the choice of 1 or 2 local broadband wireline providers: the cable company and/or the local telco. This hasn't changed since... ever. Having a third provider is very, very uncommon.
