That's a gross over-simplification of wealth accrual. Hyper-concentration of wealth will most certainly prevent new entrants from entering the coveted class of the 1500 worldwide billionaires.

Regardless of desires to be wealthy, inequality has a lot more to do with inherited wealth, not the ability to be lucky as an entrepreneur. There are plenty of billionaires (and millionaires, etc) who did nothing but enter the world with the correct surname.

> Montana was also the state with corporate political donations limits that went up against Citizens United.

This is incorrect. Corporations are not allowed to donate to political campaigns, and that's been illegal throughout the US for a very, very long time.

Individuals (like you and me) who are unaffiliated with political campaigns are allowed to make political statements. And we're allowed to spend money to make those statements, as long as we don't coordinate with campaigns at any point. Citizens United ruled that individuals retain this right when they band together in groups to make political statements (again, as long as that group of people remains unaffiliated with political campaigns and does not coordinate with them in any way).

Montana tried to argue that this law didn't apply to state and local elections, but they were struck down, because... well, it was a particularly weak argument for them to make in the first place, from a legal perspective.
Even if they do, since the vaccine is not 100% effective it still helps if other people are vaccinated since it decreases the chance of them getting it in the first place.
I'd love to know the answer to this, if there is one.

Anecdotally: I have seen a couple studies pop up recently talking about how daily value of vitamin D has been wrong for a long time. This makes me think taking vitamin D might be the new fad medical thing to do, kinda like how going gluten free was the big thing a couple years ago.

> I'm not saying it's easy to outlaw temporary contracts but it's worth a try.

Temporary contracts were created to reduce unemployment, because permanent contracts are too expensive. The solution isn't removing them, but making regular labor contracts cheaper.

You're essentially advocating for measures that reduce employment. It isn't worth a try, it has been tried and failed. Every. Single. Time.

That's before we get into the fact that you're trying to deal with the symptoms, not the cause. This is the same as trying to outlaw homelessness. Homelessness isn't the problem, it's the symptom.

I'm not sure a lot of developers make money on iOS. I think it's now larger companies. There are still millions of apps so discoverability is impossible. You can't spend much to advertise a free app, and you can't really charge money.

> Sure, blame them too.

You say, now. After mentioning how Democrats are to blame at least eight separate times in this thread, and mentioning how Republicans are also to blame... none, until this comment.
Thats because the bitcoin network is over relied on and the cyptocurrency space is still infantile and not decentralized enough. Once people realize that bitcoin isn't the only cryptocurrency out there, they will switch to other, less expensive coins and the pressure on bitcoin will, hopefully, be relieved some. Thats the beauty of this space! There can be so many coins and all with unique and improved attributes!

Honest question. Is there a single ICO where one can use the tokens to redeem a good or service which cannot otherwise be procured and which is improved by way of using a token to purchase it instead of cash?

> LN tx's are actually bitcoin tx's.

This is an oversimplification. LN transactions have much different properties than regular bitcoin transactions. Most notably, LN transactions require the user (or someone they trust) to be online in order to verify that they aren't being defrauded by someone broadcasting and earlier state of the payment channel.
Nobody is claiming that they are.

Downvote because while it is true that the math is important, a framework like PyTorch allows for more idiomatic python code.

Vaccines aren't perfect - you can get vaccinated for certain diseases/strains (such as the flu) and still get them. It's the aggregate of vaccines that stops transmission and prevents disease outbreaks. That's what a lot of people (including other people that replied to my comment) don't understand about vaccinations - they reduce the chance of acquiring a disease. It's still entirely possible to get vaccinated, spend a lot of time around infected people, and get sick.

The entire point of herd immunity is to make disease less likely to spread between individuals so that outbreaks don't occur in the first place. Even though the vaccine this year is less effective than normal at preventing the spread of flu, it's still pretty effective, and in a way that means that collectively it's more important to get vaccinated this year.

When people read about "dropping four nukes on Franco's Spain" they will think it means deliberately dropping four nukes with the intent of exploding them.

You may have had a different meaning of "dropped four nukes" in mind, but when the common everyday meaning of a phrase is one thing, and you mean a different thing, it helps everyone if you can be clear and specific about what you're actually referring to.

Some nontrivial percentage of the time, though, the vaccine doesn't take, and this becomes more likely in immunocompromised people (e.g., the elderly). Those people might end up protected from ending up getting infected even though the vaccine won't end up helping them if the people they interact with are also vaccinated and had better luck.

As for nobody at your place of employment getting vaccinated: these days that seems pretty surprising to me, but maybe it's a regional thing or something? My office brings in a nurse to do everybody at once.

The vaccine is still >30% effective. And you may be confused regarding how vaccines for things like the flu work: they have varying efficacy against different strains but getting vaccinated for a certain strain does not at all mean you won't get sick with that strain - it reduces the likelihood.

Imagine all the people in the world as a graph with weighted edges representing the probability of one person transmitting the flu to another. The more people become vaccinated, the less the weights of the edges, and the less people get sick overall.
Evolution has provided viruses with an incubation period - the time required for the virus to develop in the host - during which you don't feel sick but you can be spreading it to the others.

It seems like healthy people that tend to power through the flu are the ones most prone to spread it far and wide, especially to those most vulnerable.
> it improves the search time by approximately halving the number of items to be searched (i.e. AES-256 is reduced to 128 bits of security, AES-128 is reduced to 64, etc).

No, "halving the number of items to be searched" would be a constant factor (1/2) change, which would be trivial. Computers get that much faster in a year.

Rather, using Grover brute search to crack a hash reduces the effective number of items to try by a square root. Each bit of AES increases cracking time by a factor of 2, which is why decreasing the cracking time by a square root is equivalent to halving the number of bits of security: sqrt(2^N) = 2^(N/2)

>This idea they have that private enterprise naturally evolves toward the most efficient system is laughable.

This is a straw-man, nobody claims that private enterprises are necessarily more efficient than government organisations. What is claimed, however, is that a free-market system invariably leads to better processes and products, compared to a government monopoly, because there is a competitive advantage in optimising overheads.

To suggest that government organisations are "often" or even "occasionally" more efficient than private organisations is quite chuckle-worthy.

So they're now going to rank news stories based on the reported (i.e. subjective, not objective as they claim) familiarity and credibility of the source. It's hard to know how this would help without more details. Does anyone have any more information on precisely how this heuristic is defined? I have my doubts that this could even work at all. It seems the whole lesson of recent events is that the average person is not qualified to judge the credibility of hardly anything.

The market system is a competition, so by definition everyone is (at least potentially) trying to stop you from achieving wealth. Just ask anyone who started a business, for example. Saying that the only obstacle is in the individual is, at a minimum, disingenuous.
I think for a lot of them, it comes from fear - if you don't speak the language as fluently as natives, or with a noticeable accent, you are very often aware of it, and sometimes reminded explicitly.

In terms of impedance mismatch, I wish the PyTorch API was more similar to numpy. eg: using .shape instead of .size, using the same method names where possible. Seems like a small detail, but it could make PyTorch a little bit more intuitive.
It's certainly better than the alternative, but some folks, who foresaw the coming cold war and the arms race, and the chance for complete annihilation, argued pretty hard for preemptively attacking while the US had a nuclear monopoly. That could have gone quite badly. After the end of the monopoly, the game theory around the world almost led to catastrophe more than once...
This gives an inaccurate assessment of the cost. Obviously you are paying for the shot by paying more for insurance (either directly or via taxes or via taxes spent on that rather than some other government service you could take advantage of).

My point is that you can't say something "is worth it" without considering both costs AND benefits (I have recently seen friends get so ill they almost got fired because doctors ignored the side effects of prescriptions). Also, costs aren't zero just because they were prepaid or deferred.
Good thing your country has state rights.
Yes, they exist and aren't that common/severe. I mean at the end of the day it's a personal decision and if you're already unhealthy I understand why you wouldn't want to get the side effects. The problem is one of ignorance: people don't even know what herd immunity is and why it's important. In my opinion the side effects pale in comparison to the effects of getting the flu and are not a big "sacrifice" to make whatsoever - but you need to understand the importance of herd immunity to make a truly informed decision

It may "waste" cycles in the rare case of a failed install, but it isn't dangerous.

Announcing Alte.Capital – Weekly what changed – January 2018
Yes that was our most recent national claim to fame in politics. Gianforte is not a good representation of Montana politicians. He is a party boy and his campaign was nearly a replica of Trump's in a time of political uncertainty. He went up against a very weak Democratic candidate and a very week Libertarian candidate. That event also took place on the night before going to the polls after most Montanan's had sent in their ballots through the mail. When it boils down to being a red state, you'll see more party line voters. However if you were to sit down with these red staters you'd find they're mighty different.
The point is only reasonable when divorced from all context of Trump's Russian contacts, Russia's interest in getting sanctions overturned, Russia's known past disinformation campaigns, DNC hacking, wikileaks, etc. Within the proper context it is entirely unreasonable to even posit some other actor working to influence the election.
