People who think wealth inequality is a problem are being short sighted.

>wealth inequality that is caused by things that are seen as inherently unfair, like the family you are born into.

I, like my father before me, am making sacrifices to benefit my future generations. It's not unfair, it's called being responsible and thinking about the future.

edit: changed delusional to short sighted.
Just an interesting bit of perspective - that was written in 1985, 33 years after the detonation of the first thermonuclear bomb, and 33 years before today.

Despite good-faith hand wringing and bad-faith fear mongering, it seems to me we're further removed from a nuclear war than ever. There are valid fears of nuclear weapons in the hands of rogue states or non-state actors, but as someone whose been alive the whole time, the idea of some kind of massive globe encompassing nuclear conflict seems far more remote than it did in the 1980's.
Also look at how little they innovated relative to the profits they were making. Hard to do worse.

If communication or guidance is disabled, aircraft still need to function in a complex combat environment: they need to be able to intelligently identify targets, follow rules of engagement, engage correctly, and weigh the costs and benefits of different courses of action. An automated system will never be able to both practically do these things and also emotionally satisfy the humans in charge of militaries (you will never be able to convince a human officer that a drone will be able to autonomously follow rules of engagement and correctly discriminate friend from foe).
The F.B.I. And the Mystery of the Mummy’s Head
I took the same course as part of the OMS CS[0] program. I wasn't terribly a fan of the lectures, but the most fascinating part for me was the course project: building an AI agent that solves Raven's Progressive Matrices[1], basically a visual IQ test. Really intriguing and challenging stuff... easy to get "easy" problems right, but incredibly hard for any of the harder[2] ones. I do wish I didn't have to mess with any computer vision, and instead spent more time integrating more concepts in KBAI.

In England that's theft. This is clear and unambiguous.

I mean, wouldn’t it be better to say the startup fantasy might make you happier?

It also might make you miserable, I’ve seen both and I’ve been both in the same situation within the same day or week.

We spend a lot of our lives holding out for a future that may or may not happen, and may or may not play out as we intend.

It’s important to strike a balance between the (very important) future planning and the living in the present as best we can.

If you’re truly unhappy you should change something, it doesn’t have to be a drastic lifestyle change, just something that pushes you in the direction of feeling better about yourself and being a whole person.

In reality there’s no time other than the present, the world is too chaotic for any of our beliefs about the future to come true in detail.

This isn’t to quash your dreams, but being a dreamer is presumably part of the bigger picture of you as a contented person.
This is probably the right answer, boring as it is.

That's actually one reason why we've chosen to focus more on rental properties--they're usually in a better location, and they end up being more affordable. We still have a few hotels here and there, though, especially if the rooms are nice.
I think their choice will depend on which business units might be housed in the second headquarter. Atlanta has seen an influx of new corporate headquarters and has a major distribution center already which could help its chance at being selected. The downsides are the local education metrics will differ wildly depending on which area they decide to settle in. The northern section of Atlanta does better than the southern and downtown section, but neither perform to the standards of private schools which is where most affluent residents send their children.

I wonder what percent is correlation and causation. IE if you are losing your health, you might not realize how your cognitive ability is inhibited, and you might make many bad decisions.
IMO cities are crap if you have certain hobbies.

If you want to have a garden, or a wood shop, or race around RC cars or drones, or big pets, a city just won’t work well for you.

Most people are happy in cities because their lives aren’t much more than sleeping, eating, going to work, and then maybe going to some social events or watching tv, which is a perfect description of millennial life so far.

>But equal pay means equal pay for people with similar qualifications doing similar jobs.

This is a wonderful example of a double standard: when a study finds that men earn more than women, people say it doesn't matter that they aren't working in the same jobs because (as they say) discrimination keeps women from getting those jobs, but when women earn more then men, it's fine and dandy because they aren't working in the same jobs or experience levels, so no discrimination exists.
the hard bit is the API key and usage monitoring. you could write the whole thing as Cloudflare workers for $5 per month else.

> We're all getting bored because microconsumption is inherently unsatisfying.

Well said.

> Perhaps we will see a renaissance of long form consumption...

The problem can perhaps be considered one of opportunity cost. In the time it takes to read that long form article, I could read a whole lot of "tiny bits of content". And in many ways, I have spent the last N years tuning myself for those tiny bits. So the long form article has to pay me back for the time I spend reading it, not just at the end of the article, but at least at the rate that the tiny bits of content do. Otherwise, I'll feel like the article is wasting my time, and I'll quit part way through, looking for something more stimulating.

Of course, the flip side is that all those tiny bits of content have their opportunity cost, too. The problem is that, for each one, it's just a tiny opportunity cost. But add them all together through a day (or worse, a year), and I lose a huge amount of time and mental energy on tiny little searches for stimulation.
It could be like that, but the new generation has proven to be very different from the baby boomers, so who knows.

Other countries seem to get by just fine with living in cities and having kids.

There is a debtor/creditor relationship after you've walked out of the shop with the goods without paying. But if you left some money, you paid, so the debt is settled.

I don't know if this argument would hold up in court, as it can easily be gamed. But what are they going to have you do? Go and get the cash back and then pay it to the shopkeeper in court?

EDIT: On coming back to this, I agree with everything you said. I thought you had replied to my other comment in this thread where I proposed a way to pay with cash even where cash "isn't accepted", by just walking out of the shop "without paying", but leaving the correct amount of cash on the counter.

"they want to nationalize all private banking." -

I'm not sure where you got that from. Whats on the cards is to create a central bank based system of payments. I'm personally not in favour of having to pay a fee to VISA every time I make a payment. I would envisage that this would work along side existing payments system.

"trusted to manage financial transactions despite the massive history proving they can" in peacetime yes. Beside that its a common good not under democratic control. Sweden as a state has small but very real risk of being invaded. There is a lot of work in Sweden at the moment to remilitarise the country. For example mandatory conscription has been introduced.

"For example, if only the state was allowed to process financial transactions, we never would have gotten credit/debit cards" - debatable conjecture. Still no one is looking to get rid of payment systems that are currently in place.

"If they had nationalized after this development, we would not have NFC payments or chips in cards" - again debatable conjecture.

"The state is anti-innovation (think about how slowly government infrastructure has developed) and anti-consumer (imagine the DMV in charge of your money). " - I'm not sure how to respond to this but I'll give a try. For an American example you can take a look at NASA, It is general acknowledged that you have something like a 14$ return on every dollar spent. This: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA_spinoff_technologies does not look like ant invention to me

"This whole notion of "the state knows everything" and "only the state cares about you" seems completely dystopian." Well in a functioning democracy the state has the potential to be serving its citizens. It works fairly well in Scandinavia, but less so in Russia or China.
Just today on Reddit, there was a "shower thought" that being a Millennial is like starting to play monopoly where there is a hotel on every property. My response is that, of course all the properties in the major cities have hotels and are expensive, but there are many properties still up for sale for cheap if you move out a little. The first rule of negotiation is being willing to walk away.

Seems legit, considering so many people view money as a need, rather than a strategy for meeting needs.

I currently am choosing to live in a way that minimizes the amount of money I make/spend, as well as property I own. I meet my needs through the supportive community I've found, by asking for what I need, work-trading, and signing up for government services.

My life is better than it's ever been, but I had to change my entire mindset. An old friend in the same community hasn't adopted my approach and hasn't worked on leaving behind the scarcity mindset. They worry about everything, including keeping their job. It leads them to act in ways that keep them employed, eating right, and socializing.

This kind of self-imposed stress we adopt over money isn't productive.
I don't think @CydeWeis was dismissing the revenue motivation, but rather stating that the engineering resources themselves are being poured into other innovative products that users love, not just into AdTech, even if these products are primarily motivated by ad revenue for Google, the company. Individual engineers, like Jeff Dean, may also have different motivations than the publicly traded company for doing the work they do. It's likely the engineers working on Maps, etc. and the underlying tech would not see their work as simply "AdTech."

> But firing comments from the hip derails discussion even worse

The proper response, then, is to downvote the derailing comment, not to respond with an attack. Downvotes are HNs tool for maintaining S/N ratio, attacks making ascribing what you presume caused the poster to post in a way you find less-than-worthy don't deal with any problem, they just exacerbate it and fill HN with toxic noise.
Oh yeah! When I showed up at my current employer, I had a laptop with 32gb and 2 PCI SSDs in RAID0. Almost immediately, I had to upgrade to 64GB.

I'm a data scientist and regularly work with multiple datasets simulataneously that require the RAM usage. Both Python and R rely on in-memory processing. Loading on/off disk is substantially slower and does not fit with what I am trying to do. For really large datasets I also have a 28 core Xeon with 196GB that I can remote into, but it is nice to not have constraints on my laptop.

Of course, you could go with Hadoop or Spark to process some of these datasets, but that requires quite a bit of overhead and its easier (and cheaper) to just buy more RAM
Then, there is the positive feedback loop. You lose money, you start drinking, now your decisions are worse, you lose more money, you drink more, your decisions are worse.
Yes. Most people who point to low standardized test scores in Southern states, and snicker about sterotypes, are probably unaware that the region is unusually insistent on high school students taking either the SAT or ACT.

Many Southern states require one or the other as a requirement for high school graduation, period, whether you're planning for college or not. And many others that do not require it pressure all students to take it by default:

https://magoosh.com/hs/act/2017/states-that-require-the-act-...

So of course your statewide averages will be lower than the national average, when the testing population in other regions is limited to college-prep students only.
I would suggest to try freecodecamp.org first.

My process, that I considered very successful, was:

1. Total focus on freecodecamp.org only, until I complete the first certificate (Front End)

2. Start building small, modest projects following tutorials and documentation - I think it is important to build them completely, including making it functional and available, deploying it.

Only after that, I went on to read good books like You Don't Know JS and Eloquent JavaScript.

I think this worked for me because I learn better coding (freecodecamp.org and codecademy.com's code-on-the-browser style) than reading books or watching videos.
Also because I was focused on learning to get a job as a web developer (I did!).

If you think this could a be a good path for you, you can read my post "Learning to code" at my personal blog: https://rodrigohgpontes.github.io/

One is a local application, one is a Ruby script, one is a client-side browser application which doesn't send any data. Only one app listed on this site so far needs to bring your data to a server, and they at least say they don't retain it after processing.

I did notice that the one client-side only one says they're working on building a storage app, which presumably, the client-side browser app will eventually be usable as their import tool.
The app is a wrapper around a mobile site. A better question is what value-adds does the app provide over Safari/Chrome? Particularly as now notifications can be enabled straight from mobile browsers.

Calm down. You're free to block whatever you want for your instance. That's not my concern. If you want to ban certain politocal alignments or specific opinions then your free to do that as well. I disagree with painting such broad strokes like the early mastodon servers did because it leads to quiet/dead instances. It happened to the one I was on and I switched.

There is a market for closed instances, as some people don't want their opinions challenged or to see things they don't like and it's awesome that there's a way to get that. It just shouldn't be the norm because it discourages federation.

Edit: FWIW judging by your blog post and block list you arent an example of what I was talking about so don't take it that way. There are plenty of reasonable Mastodon servers now that repect dialogue it just had a rough start.

You're right, that specific stuff is not on sf-86. But was pessimistic that more than just sf-86 was exfiltrated. From the wiki saw "that OPM systems containing information related to the background investigations of current, former, and prospective federal government employees, to include U.S. military personnel, and those for whom a federal background investigation was conducted, may have been exfiltrated". I read that as notes from people doing the background checks, which would include some of that kind of information.
It is not circular logic.

My premises are:

1. Classical physics cannot predict the results of at least one physics experiment. This should be uncontroversial because otherwise the field of quantum mechanics wouldn't exist.

2. The results of said experiment can be observed at a macro scale. This should also be uncontroversial because the publication of experimental results is observable at the macro scale.

It follows directly from those two premises that there is at least one macro scale phenomenon that classical physics can not predict.

>The state is anti-innovation

Let's look at "innovation" in consumer banking:

-Debit and credit cards physically show numbers that give full access to the accounts 40 years after modern public key cryptography was invented

-A very modest improvement to this system, known as PIN and chip, came to the U.S. recently after years in Europe and Asia; the Wall Street Journal has called this very basic change a "nightmare" more than a year into implementation, doubling average transaction times to 13 seconds (!!) in an informal test. Only 28 percent of merchants supported the technology.

-Checks physically show numbers that give full access to accounts

-The standard consumer "friendly" way of moving money electronically, ACH, involves banks FTP-ing massive text files to one another, batch processing them overnight, and clearing transactions in 24 hours or more.

-There is no used standard for peer to peer consumer electronic transfer

-Massive data breaches by banks have become incredibly common

-The response to endemic fraud is to revoke cards and mail new ones and/or to repair and monitor credit on an ad hoc basis
