I think trying to not put yourself too high about everybody else is a cherished ideal in Scandinavian countries.

His anti-tax setup makes a lot more sense to me now. If I had build a company from nothing just to seen the government getting so close to stealing it away from me, I would also do my best to make sure they will benefit the least amount possible from it.
I have also thought about this, and whether I could live with myself after making a huge pile of money to relentlessly annoy every other human on Earth.

I conceived it as video bloggers setting up a dynamic replacement volume in their scenes, and compositing a 3-D scene for the sponsored product into it as the stream goes out. One viewer might see an open Coke bottle. Another might see a half-eaten package of Oreos. Another might see framed photographs of adoptable rescue pets. All the vlogger does is avoid entering the ad-volume and the software does the rest.

Inserting into old movies would require a bit more sophistication, I think. You have to discern the geometry of the scene, model it, then discover the insertable volumes, match the camera movement in software, and finally use a shader to match the object textures to the film grain.

But let's not do this. Please.

My prediction: Bitcoin will be remembered as the first successful application of a new wave in decentralized technologies. However Bitcoin itself will not be used except in museums, like the first Google server.

The revolution is how decentralized technologies from the past (BitTorrent, GNUtilla, DHT, etc) met with cryptography and game theory. Even more revolutionary is the wave of consumer-facing cryptographic identity tools, libraries, and browsers. By tying the notion of Public-Private keys to the metaphor of wallets (hence value) incentivizes end-users to keep and protect their keys. Decentralized Internet-level consensus combined with widely distributed cryptographic tools is huge!

Bitcoin's durability for years demonstrated the resiliency of these tools under the pressure of a hostile open Internet. It was the first serious test. And it passed with flying colors.

I DO believe that forks from the Bitcoin network will proliferate for a while. Bitcoin's technical and governance problems will doom it, but the value it has now will be distributed to finance other projects (e.g.: Ethereum) that will move the space and technology forward.

Amazon only counts the revenue they make from third party sales in the actual transaction cost (small percentage of sale price). Alibaba counts everything even though they give most back to the vendor. They're very different numbers.

>It's very strange to describe Amazon (at least engineering roles) as a sweatshop considering how well compensated employees are.

With a company as large and complex as Amazon, many things can be relative, but if you work as an engineer or programmer at Amazon, chances are that conversation doesn't apply to you, or at least, that it applies less to you than to others.
The longer time goes on, the more you realize that what companies can get to the public in a year for $1000, takes 10 years and a multi-billion dollar contract for any government (other then priority bureaus like NSA) to obtain. Like good luck getting anything through government bureaucracy and shitty subcontractors.

The Digitization of Everything
I experienced the same with my kids. Over the years, I purchased Bloxels, LittleBits, Lego EV3 and many other random tech toys. Unfortunately, the novelty wears off and they see little usage without parent intervention. Over the past decade, only the "big box of random Legos" is consistently used.

I find persistence is a big problem with most tech toys. For example, if kids invest a lot of time building and coding an EV3 robot, they never want to take it apart and start over. Once you finally disassemble the project, it takes a while for them to gain interest again. Although Lego Technics and EV3 have a steeper learning curve, they're still great toys and both kids and parents really do learn a lot. However, the simplicity and creative possibilities of basic Lego bricks appeal to kids for many years. Legos, by far, have the highest "return on toy investment" in our house :).

Well compensated? Amazon pays significantly below other mega cap tech companies, and as a PhD student in machine learning with a lot of friends interning and applying for jobs I can confidently say Amazon is nobody's first choice due to low salaries and working conditions.

I'd rather say I am amazed they get anyone great working for them because it really is clearly and painfully obvious that almost everyone would rather work for Google, Facebook or Microsoft regarding machine learning.

Have first hand knowledge of salaries. Amazon offers 30-50% less than other top tech companies for machine learning. There is literally no silver lining or upside as far as I can tell.

In that context, it does not matter if Amazon pays more than <other job> in <other industry> or treats employees better than <other company> in <other industry>.
For Microsoft, profitability depends quite a bit on people not leaving their comfort zone of "runs any old software thrown at it".

That's a good distinction, I agree with you. I hope that some day it's practical write code for browsers that is statically analyzable.

I feel like the programming community was quick to give up static typing when CPUs got fast enough that the performance hit was irrelevant (for many uses), and now we are starting to realize that types were a good idea for correctness too.

Yes. As a grad student in ML, on a few occasions I worked with sponsors under the US military trying to help them use some code from projects I'd open sourced, and it was always a struggle.

Frankly, the suggestion that government agencies -- let alone local police departments -- have sophistication in AI/ML years ahead of publicly known work from academia, industry, or even side projects on reddit, will verge on comical to anyone who's actually worked with these folks.

I've already encountered a minor version of this with the film "Demolition Man": when I first saw it on UK TV, it mentioned Pizza Hut at one point, but more recently it was on again and that line was overdubbed really badly to say "Taco Bell".

It's a weird thing to watch an film turn out differently to how you rememebered it when you're not told it's a different cut. Feels like low-grade gaslighting.

(Another example is the translation of "天下" - Tianxia - in the film Hero, which is both critical to the film and translated differently in different versions)

There was a thread on /r/machinelearning titled "Is it legal to use copyright material as training data?" https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/4qrgh8/is_...

But the issue here isn't whether training on copyrighted face images is legal. You can totally take copyright-free photos of anybody as long as they appear in public.

The more interesting question I think is whether you own the copyright to the 3D capture of your face. For example disney won't let you get away with using models of their characters. Don't I have the right to not let anyone use the "model" that I spent my literal life growing?

"Dancing mania (also known as dancing plague, choreomania, St. John's Dance and, historically, St. Vitus's Dance) was a social phenomenon that occurred primarily in mainland Europe between the 14th and 17th centuries. It involved groups of people dancing erratically, sometimes thousands at a time. The mania affected men, women, and children who danced until they collapsed from exhaustion."

The complexity of human behavior never ceases to amaze me. The more I learn about it, the more I realize how little I know. Here we have numerous documented instances, over several centuries, of people dancing maniacally, unable to stop themselves until they collapse from exhaustion. WTF?
One doubts those narrators would approve of the little people doing what it would actually take to rein in big business. In any case, it seems impossible to be both uninformed and complicit.

For all of Google's talk about their syntactic tail call proposal, they haven't cared enough to implement it -- only to remove their PTC code. FF and MS are in the same position. At this point, I don't really care one way or the other, they need to quit the excuses, quit the petty power struggles, and do something one way or the other. Every year they wait is another year before we can use it.

EDIT: I'd also add that the performance impact in the real world seems to be close to zero.

Would second Derek Lowe. For newcomers to the space I'd also suggest:

-the "six rules of reproducibility" -- with software, in general if someone writes code that works on their system you can use that code and get the same result on your system. This is far from the case in biopharma, especially w academic findings. Failing to understand the dangers of the "reproducibility crisis" is a common pitfall for non scientists: http://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2012/10/01/six...

-"software eats the world, but biology eats the pipeline" is a professional drug hunters take on the a16z bio thesis. This post references once by Bruce booth. Bruce booth is far from a Luddite and has invested in several computationally driven drug companies (nimbus being one example) but he suggests that there is a ton of potential, but you need to know the dangers before diving in: http://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2017/04/28/sof...

I call this "virtual travel", and I also use Street View as part of my prep for travel. I survey the area where I want to travel, and make sure that the potential destination is worthy of site-seeing. It does lose the element of surprise, but I'm risk-averse, so I'd rather do this than have a negative surprise. Often, I'd see a lot of beautiful photos on the travel website, but the reality is often different. For example, if I see a hotel I want to visit, I check the surrounding, to see if it's suitable for jogging or biking, and also to make sure the area is not too seedy.

Engineering review is not the same thing as reviewing and writing code. I've seen countless projects with sound designs riddled with implementation bugs due to people not fully understanding the intent of certain systems.

Sitting in a room during a high level engineering review falls squarely under "limited overlap".

You seem to forget who got those legislators elected. Of course they intended it.

The real problem is that the corporate tax shouldn't exist. It's too easy to fuck with and manipulate a profit tax by being creative with what counts as revenue and what counts as expense. And tax incidence studies have repeatedly shown that the burden of corporate taxes fall disproportionately on labor, not capital. The better idea would be to eliminate the corporate tax entirely, taking the world's entire corporate tax avoidance scheme with it, and instead tax personal income, dividends, and capital gains at higher rates. It would actually be more progressive and far less avoidable, and mountains less complex.
It will make things way worse, since politicians from now on can and will plausibly deny any video evidence about them. Candidates will literally rewrite history instead of merely suffering from amnesia and any real evidence will end up in battles between one TV show 'expert' against another.
