I'm not sure why the House hearing is getting so much more publicity than the Senate hearing, which is today, actually. Maybe it's because Facebook has bought more members on the House committee and that's the one to take it easy on him, while everyone watches.

This is unfortunately really how it often works.

In Germany there's been quite a lot of debate around this and the more serious green energy providers try to compensate this by saying that they'll have a certain share of their power come from new installations of renewable energy.

This may seem counterintuitive at first, but it makes sense: Ultimately what you care about is not which share of the currently installed electricity you pay for, but how the money you pay shapes the future energy marked.

1.I was at the top engineering school in japan but the deep learning curriculum was heavily based on the popular on line one. Basically the top professor can not spare time to dive into making curriculum. So unless you go to the top tier universities in Germany, learning on line is the fastest.

2. I can not comprehend why you can't learn most of the stuff on the course. basic math stuff are also included in them.
You're right that once you saturate your green cones, the marginal response of other wavelengths will overtake 550nm. But until you hit saturation, the most efficient use of energy is to put everything on 550nm, not spread it out. You're saying that changing the response curve (e.g. by saturating the green cones) changes the optimal wavelength, but that doesn't change the fact that there's always a single optimal wavelength that is the argmax of the current marginal response curve.

In any case, we're talking about displaying color on computer monitors here. If your computer monitor is getting anywhere near saturating your cones, you have a big problem.
> If that money was invested in dividend stocks, they could have over 38K of passive income a year. In the US, dividend income is only taxed at 15%, too. They could opt to withdraw the 600K from the 401K, use that to buy a condo in cash, and live off the dividend income. Retire now, basically, and live a fairly comfortable life.

Yep, I agree. This is my first thought as well. I don't think it necessarily needs dividend stocks either, general stocks should do the trick. My back-of-the-envelope is:

* expected return on investment from US stocks at current valuation [+]: ~6%
* expected inflation rate: ~2%
* expected real return: ~4%
* assumed tax rate: 15%
* annual investment return: (1100000 * 0.04) * (1 - 0.15) = USD $37.4k / year after tax

Assuming you don't have a large family with many dependants or unusually high expenses (medical care, etc) it certainly sounds doable, but perhaps with a dramatic decrease in annual spend for non-essentials (overseas holidays, living in an expensive part of the country, etc).

[+] Compared to historical prices, US stocks are currently very highly priced, hence expected real returns (~4%) are lower than historical average real returns (~7%). See e.g. http://www.philosophicaleconomics.com/2018/01/future-u-s-equ...
There are enough anomalies in dating methods to question them. At the time scales we are looking at, we have little or no knowledge of the actual circumstances of the environment at the time. Every kind of dating methodology that goes outside of human history relies on very specific assumptions. If we are wrong about any of those assumption then our dating methodologies become unreliable.

Even inside human history, we make various guesses about when various events take place. The extant records that we use to date any particular item or event lead us, in many cases, to a best guess. How accurate this guess is - well, who really knows.

Quite often, there is conflict over when or even if certain events have occurred in the past. This is the nature of the lack of easily obtained records of the past. Even when there is extent documentation available, there is still conflict.

I take all the prognostications of dates in the far past as a guess, since we don't really know.

> However, we humans are also incredibly good at finding clever, credible ways of inferring things from indirect clues.

We are not as clever or even credible in a lot of what we do as humans. We are far too biased and political even in the fields of science and technology. That is just a part of our nature. If you looked at all the controversies over the last, what, 300 years, or we could look back over the last 2500 years and we'll see this rear its head many, many times.

I have stated the position that we should not be concerned that we are certain, but put in the efforts to keep investigating all areas for insight and further knowledge. It really doesn't matter if our models are incomplete and wrong as long as we keep moving forward. It's when we are certain that we lose the ability to move forward. In many areas in science (even in technology) we have become "certain" that our theories and models are correct. This is a problem and we need to address this.

I more or less left full time work when I was 39 to pursue startups. The reasoning was exactly on the lines of what you have described. It's been 2 years and the journey has been fraught with failures. One, it's become really hard for me to find a co-founder. Almost none of the guys in my friend circle are willing to take the risks associated with startups. I've attended a pre-accelerator to find a co-founders but haven't had any luck in finding the right person.
Two, I'm just getting lazy because of the financial cushion. I mean, it's not much but still some sort of lethargy has set in since I don't have a pressing problem to solve. Until I get to the stage where things kick off, I bet this is going to be the norm.
On one hand I have a financial cushion, on the other I know that the cushion won't mean much in the next 10 years. So, I'm constantly thinking about self sufficiency down the line.
So, a combination of no cofounder + no exponential idea + procrastination = My life has become quite miserable. I mean, sure on the surface I project an image of it's all good, if you know what I mean.

There are a number of ways that property taxes could be handled so as to not force people out of their homes as property values fluctuate. Just one example, there could be a maximum on percentage of income that can be charged as property tax. Pegging those taxes to prices that are literally decades old seems like the least efficient and most distortionary method. Nevermind that handing that benefit down generation after generation is the surest way to create a form of aristocracy.

Oh and let's not forget the many, many problems it has caused for the education system you so respect. Prop 13 is often named as one of the reasons why CA's public education system is under such financial duress at every level.

Why can't we just admit that we need far, far more housing stock, far, far better public transportation systems, far, far better infrastructure and that CA's unique property tax system has essentially stymied all of those efforts. I find if hard to believe CA wouldn't be better off without Prop 13.

On another note, this post strikes me as incredibly hostile toward anyone moving to California. "Stay away, this place is ours, and if you come and can't buy, then don't complain, because this place was ours first." "Oh, and you're a tech person, so bugger off, we don't need your kind anyway!"

Is the person who just bought property at market rate today more entitled to complain according to your metric? They will have paid more in taxes than the person who bought in the 70's cumulatively paid over all those decades within just a couple of years. Would they then be more Californian somehow? Entitled to more of the state's resources? How about those people who have rented here for 30 years? If you don't/can't own property are you less Californian?
I would, but I'm not sure what the right format is for saying so. Are we all supposed to reply with "yes" or "no"? That could lead to a very awkward comment thread!

To your last point: sounds like it should change, but not that it necessarily will. I can’t fathom the cloud providers would allow an independent third party come in and take this business from them, despite how much easier it would be for the customer.

I think you have a powerful base for building posters on the fly.
Take image A, crop the background, take the colors from your algorithm and use the ones that the regular algorithm wouldn't consider (the ones that stand out more but appear in less quantity) for generating headers and subheaders of the poster. You have a color balanced algorithm made poster with just an image and a background as an input from the user.
As expected, the "100%" claim breaks down when it comes to the manufacturing, which mostly relies on suppliers. They say they have "commitments" from 23 suppliers but I'm sure there's more than that and the ones they do mention mostly seem to be the ones manufacturing raw materials (leather, plastics, etc) rather than parts (looking at you, Foxconn).

EDIT: Of course it's still quite an accomplishment but it should be clear that this does not translate to "Apple products are environmentally friendly" in any way (not even energy-wise).
> Give me a credible scenario that brings us from strong AI to the annihilation of our species without handwaving about recursive self-improvement and selective idiocy and I'll reconsider my position.

What kind of credible scenario are you looking for? You're obviously knowledgeable about the subject, I'm sure you've read various stories, but it's quite easy to dismiss them all as "not credible" or "just so stories". E.g. A good story is Tegmark's story at the beginning of the book Life 3.0, but again, can be easily dismissed if you don't specify acceptance criteria for the story.

I mean, simple scenario - AGI gets built by a farming company, gets programmed to farm more corn, but there is no stop condition programmed in, so converts ever available land into corn fields. Is it likely? No, of course not - no specific example is likely. But why is this something that fundamentally can't happen? More importantly, can you specify criteria for a scenario which you would deem acceptable? Cause if not, you're literally saying that there is no possible way to convince you that this is a possibility, which seems to me not to be a good position on pretty much anything.
Sounds like a crackpot to be honest. QC doesn't work yet because of practical limitations, but individual blocks have been shown to work separately and even small computers [1]. In looking at his wording he may be addressing a straw man, because QC has never aimed to be a general purpose general computer.

The universe is usually thought of as not deterministic. The deterministic interpretations out there come with huge problems: non-locality. Basically, that all particles in the universe are connected with a wave of sorts that acts instantaneously no matter the distance. But this is a philosophical distinction at best. Quantum computers work just fine.

This is not necessarily true. This is especially because tasks that we ultimately find fulfilling, are not often ones that we would define as "fun". Fulfilling, deep, concentration often requires hard work, and forceful concentration, on difficult things. The number of things that are fun, and deeply fulfilling are few and far between.

I totally agree with more housing stock. I am a huge fan of Wieiners bill, except with the exception that some cities should not have an 8 story maximum. He is modeling it after Boston, and I've lived there, and huge complexes near transit stations is not a good thing in small cities with 1 railway station.

But do that and keep prop 13 in place, please. We don't need the state to hire a bunch of new tax assessors; it's doing just fine destroying itself financially already.
nontechdude1, I think I can blame both tech companies of this current generation for their sins AND people of generations past for theirs, and that includes their exclusionary housing policies. It’s not an either-or situation.

Regardless, after the declining baby boomer population finally loses their political influence, millennials will step in and fix the problem themselves —and they will, it’s not like any of us can afford those houses (even the ones who grew up in the city and aren’t in tech, which you seem to imply are more important or valid).

That’s just democracy, after all.

Skimming text doesn't work the same for everyone. The eyes literally scan a page for (basically random) nouns, buzzwords, verbs etc to kinda guess the content, regarding the context. The associative power of the brain (which is different in every person) fills in the gaps and usually guesses everything correctly. But when there is a context switch in between... well, the wrong guess can turn out catastrophically bad.

I think, when my mind wanders off while still reading that means I got "bored" with the text by already knowing what's going to happen and I switch to associative thoughts instead. That's a problem for people who think highly associative instead of sequential. They need to apply or follow sequential logic actively instead of just doing it automatically, and that occasionally bores the hell of them, or exhaust them, because often they just know how things are. Hence the wandering mind in this case is a different one compared to the cases in the article.

In California it mostly comes from the States general fund. Income tax and sales tax. Most of the local property tax also goes to the state to be sent back to the schools on a per student basis, but this is about 25% of the funding. See here [1] for a good explanation of all the crazy details of California school funding and its history.

Prop 13 limited prop tax to 1% of the assessed value (actual property tax also includes many parcel taxes). About 100 school districts out of about a thousand in California have such high property values and/or low number of students that the 1% tax is enough to fund the schools at a higher per student rate than the standard for California. These rich areas are called "basic aid" districts and don't give their prop tax to the state, keeping it local and funding schools at a higher level.

The rule of thumb with these regulations unfortunately for the most part is: Better safe than sorry.

These regulations tend to get abused by shady lawyers who specifically target small business that supposedly don't comply with the rules.

The same kind of reasoning for example applies to the notorious legal notice requirement for websites in some EU countries: The exact requirements for these documents are still not entirely clear. People and companies go to great lengths to implement (hopefully) legally compliant legal notices for their website while many of them are really just cargo cult intended to appease powers beyond one's control.
