I think that's a really good question. IMO this is an essential part of any pipeline aiming to do that, but there's a bunch of hurdles with neural networks that's haven't been crossed yet. The first one that comes to mind is that I'm not aware of any work which would try to teach neural networks to imagine what someone would look like from different angles (aside from relatively restricted settings like facial frontalization). Second, you talk of videos. That means the person needs to look 'consistent' from frame to frame. This isn't a solved problem either, especially when it comes to GANs. I'm sure there are a few other areas that need to be solved.

No. They are just cherry picked. There are very few scenarios now where the consumer benefits from saying "no" or "less" to their doctors. Single payer doesn't solve that. They just have an unelected government official saying no. And the patient doesn't benefit in that case. I haven't heard any reply about the moral hazards of turning healthcare decisions into lobbying efforts. Do we not think the well-connected and otherwise favored will still benefit over people in poverty? I'm skeptical.

The dictionary I have close at hand claims:

1 [ mass noun ] the state of being aware of and responsive to one's surroundings: she failed to regain consciousness and died two days later.

2 a person's awareness or perception of something: her acute consciousness of Luke's presence.

When I went from freelance developer to managing a team of 20, I went through many of these challenges, especially of feeling like you're handing off a project that won't be done as well as if you did it yourself.

But when you find great people and the project is done as good or better than you could have done it it feels amazing as you're accomplishing more than you ever could have by yourself.

There is no safety concern here, it's purely bureaucratic and political. Many GA planes are 100% legal and safe to be flown with one pilot. The question here is whether or not this was a commercial (part 91) operation or a charter (part 135) operation. If passengers (friends and family) were not paying, it seems sensible to treat this like any other general aviation (private) flight, but the FAA is notorious for not being particularly sensible. If there's even a remote opportunity to pursue legal action, the FAA will do so.

What's problematic here (and with many FAA cases) is the total lack of due process. The TapJets case hasn't even gone to court and the FAA has already punished them and issued a public statement before TapJets was even able to argue their case. They are guilty until proven innocent.

The "emergency order" used here is intended for actual emergencies, such as if a carrier was flying planes that weren't physically safe. A dispute over whether compensation occurred over a year ago is not an emergency and the use of such an order seems like an abuse of power.

Note: for all flights with paying customers (not friends and family) TapJets states that they operate according to the rules of any other air charter under part 135.
I really don't see why we should have semantic tags to begin with, since semantics isn't obviously the psychological API by which future colleagues are going to operate on your code. Think about the interface by which colleagues wish to edit your code.

Do they care more about its structural position? Then name it by structural position. Do your teammates care more about a component's logical relation? Then name it by its logical relation. Do they care more about the actual content? Then name it the EULA component.

But one way or another, based on the modern way of web dev where an interface is divided into components, any team inheriting a project will need to understand Y components explaining X pages no matter what. Naming is helpful, but the distance from good naming to great naming won't be a big force multiplier.
It really doesn't matter, because the rationale you provided was essentially: it is wrong because I don't like it. To keep with your utilitarian line of thinking, a position against cannibalism based on disease transmission would make more sense. Personally, I prefer the classic argument of it being the ultimate violation of personal space - but that is likely because I favor Locke's theory of property and the mixing of labor.

Tax avoidance is the avoidance of the required tax (an alternative name is tax evasion), tax minimisation is paying one's required tax and no more.

From the perspective of tax collectors, avoidance is evasion and not minimisation. Politicians also use the term "tax avoidance" as a synonym for "tax evasion" when it is useful to them.

Having friends who worked at various stages for various kinds of bureaucracies (including tax collection), they have spoken of the distinct terminology used and why it is used.

It is not a matter of re-interpreting the "tax law" but creating the appropriate internal definitions as to what that "tax law" means. The problem that people face is that legal definitions quite often do not match the general populous understanding of the words used.

We can always argue over whether or not "tax avoidance" is the same as "tax evasion" or "tax minimisation". The reality is that each of these terms has a definitive meaning dependent on who is using the term. Taxation collection organisations will have one set of meanings, politicians will have another, the general population will have another.

The only meanings that are relevant are what the taxation collection organisations assign to those terms in their internal working processes. I am using the definitions of those terms as shared to me by my friends in taxation.

One of the reasons for using tax accountants these days is that many years ago, I was audited by the relevant tax authority. The upshot was that they disallowed the claim in question and in my last conversation with the auditor, he made the comment that the deduction was allowable but he wasn't going to tell me how to claim it. I have used accountants since then. I let them deal with the complexity of the taxation law. A good accountant is worth the cost just to avoid having to deal with the "insanity" of current taxation regimes.

I don't have a problem with taxation per se, only with the insane level of complexity that has built up in modern times. When tax law goes from say 80 pages at the start to 30,000 + pages today, one has to ask why? YMMV.

Lastly, if in America, the IRS is bound by those same laws as the citizenry, why are the so many documented cases of the IRS "draining" the bank accounts of so many little people when nothing illegal has been done? The IRS has interpreted the law by their own internal definitions.
Ah. No. To be clear: this line of reasoning is simply not my cup of tea and I feel zero need to take it seriously or justify my preference.

We're a little too proud of "break things" sometimes. "Break things" should not extend to human beings, or fragile aluminium tubes containing human beings.

> Some jobs simply carry with them the understanding you are going to be "used up" by participating. Wrestlers, boxers, hockey players, and now footballers. Some men are willing to destroy themselves in pursuit of wealth and fame, and it's difficult to say it's our job as a society to overrule their choices about their own bodies.

I think one of the more interesting comparisons starts when you look past professions that promise fame and fortune, and start looking at jobs like firefighting, police work, and military service. I would argue that there is a similar progression of personnel (as evidenced by earlier retirement and pension ages for these professions) but the pot of gold at the end of rainbow is less celebrity and more a consistent job and service to one's community. Where do those professions stand on the spectrum?

Every person I know who got wealthy is still wealthy except one (stocks). None of them blew any significant part of their money on consumption. I assume this holds in general, too, if you count all people who get rich, not just lottery winners, athletes, etc.

This "no experience managing a budget" stuff is hilarious, you don't need special knowledge not to blow millions. It is not hard. Let's call it what it is for most people - being trash, living extravagantly, and not thinking about the future. It's far more about character than about financial knowledge.

Don't be disappointed. See it as the benefit of competition.

Competition helps you avoid deceiving yourself. Your competitors set the benchmark and you're either better than the rest or you're not. Once you have a target to aim at you can refine and improve until you match and then beat the rest.

And then they will use you as the new benchmark to beat.

Sweater or loose shirt in a darker color (navy, dark green, etc), black pants, black simple shoes/boots is almost always a safe bet, at least in america. Comfy enough for casual settings, proper enough for more official settings, depending on how you carry it.

Clothing is usually pretty easy once you find the staples; after that its your behavior that makes it. To actually look good though, you need to understand the group's values enough to move beyond the basics.

And of course, you need to learn to have an opinion on clothing, to understand (and deny) other's opinions. At the very least, when some chucklefuck gives you a look for eating fries by hand, you should be able to defend your position
Ultimately markets serve humans, even if the number of beneficiaries is shrinking. And living in a world of limited resources I doubt that AI will have a long term future. It's so dependent on humans to provide: electricity, computer hardware, maintenance, and even purpose.

Humans, at present, also seem better equipped to adapt to irrational markets; especially when they are the source of irrational behavior.

"In a 1990 address, Steve Jobs, a visionary who gets lots of credit for the many things he got right but little blame for the equal number of things he got wrong, said that the 1990s would be “the decade of interpersonal computing.” When he said it, he was talking of small-scale connectivity via LANs, not the wide-scale connectivity that was already being enabled by services like CompuServe and Prodigy, much less the epoch-making invention that would be the World Wide Web. Ken Williams responded, rightly, that Jobs was “thinking too small. I agree that ‘interpersonal computing’ — the idea that the individual computer owner will soon find himself acting as part of a bigger connected computer community — is the next step in the evolution of personal computing. But I disagree with Jobs’s vision of the company office as the birthplace of this technology.”"

For the record, LXC containers are much more cooperative as non-emulated VMs than Docker containers. I'm sure this is also the case with Virtuozzo, etc. (though I haven't tried them). These other container systems function nearly identically to an emulated VM, which is what most people actually want out of containers -- thin VMs.

The vast majority of dollars spent in over-utilization has to do with our culture and is in the last 6 months of life. I wish we as a society could have a moral/ethical discussion about whether we should try every last treatment trying to save 89 year old grandma for two months at the cost of $300k.

Ask any doctor, and there's a reason they personally do not want to go anywhere near a hospital at the end of life. It's usually the children/grandchildren who live far away and never visit who insist that every last thing be done prolonging their grandparents' suffering in my opinion. The ones who live nearby and spend plenty of time are usually okay with letting them go.

> I don't think I am the only one who finds that as a non-prime customer my packages take a really long time to ship.

This is precisely why I refuse to even try Prime. It feels like a protection racket. It's not unusual for them to take a week or two to even dispatch an item. If I don't like it, I'm welcome to pay their protection money.

It's saving me plenty though. Most the stuff I get from Amazon, I can get from China at a fraction of the price. Now that amazon isn't neccessarily faster than China (yes, let that sink in!), I may as well order it from China.

(and note I'm talking about time to dispatch here. I'm not complaining I get default shipping rather than 2-day shipping. I'm complaining it takes them a week or two to pull the item off a shelf)

I agree, but wanted to point out that you are making the implicit assumption that all drivers are going to be replaced by autonomous vehicles. Otherwise comparing to the average driver may be biased as there most likely are correlations in some way between driver safety and likelihood of acquiring autonomous vehicles (desirability / affordability).
