I should start using this exact same method, but my problem is to fragment activities in smaller ones, which I find hard and sometimes even too much time consuming.
It’s not about competition for them, it’s about lobbying and squeezing their monopolies for everything it’s worth.

That is correct. It is our policy to use the tool I mentioned elsewhere in the thread which only contacts the references provided by the candidate -- I'll check internally to make sure no one is deviating from that process.
A small suggestion: I think the way you're describing this as "context" might be misleading. You'll probably want to try the same thing on the output of a BiLSTM or CNN model instead of just the word vectors. I think this is more like an attention mechanism --- like tf-idf, you're learning to downweight words which are less informative. Your method is also very similar in effect to the LexRank line of work, which is more computationally expensive and complicated.

The proposition "there are inherent psychological desires of humans" -- and I must say desires to distinguish from more flexible characteristics like rationality or sociality -- is supported by a variety of good heuristics such as the evolutionary origin of people, the existence of significant similarity in social structures across cultures (with stronger similarities in literate cultures), and observed failures in many attempts to manipulate desires (most notably David Reimer). However, the prospect of determining what these are is difficult, the justifications behind the best theories of inherent desires are usually both complex and epistemologically imperfect, and the game of telephone that relays scientific information to a popular audience tends to oversimplify the findings, overestimate the appropriate confidence level, and distort the conclusions to better comport with the preconceptions of the audience. As a result, colloquial discussions of how human nature impacts our lives are a huge minefield of pseudoscience, narcissism and utopianism that rarely support better understanding of any situation. Most useful applications of psychology depend on the application of empirical data describing some settings to other closely related settings, rather than the great theoretical leaps in the reasoning applied in the natural sciences. As such, when a thinker is prone to making such leaps (eg Jordan Peterson) it's a red flag that they're a charlatan, or (eg "Dr. Phil") are willing to distort what they do know scientifically in order to gain notoriety.

I've long felt that intelligence is a property of the group rather than the individual. Language is inextricably linked to our conception of intelligence, and having someone to talk to is a prerequisite.

I feel like this is very important and seems to be missed in modern AI research. I think of most of today's systems as monoliths, lone individuals raised in isolation (receiving training data does not constitute communication/language development), forever stunted in all of the more "humanist" facets of intelligence.

Is there research going into more "social" systems of multiple "actors" that are able to interact/communicate with each other? Perhaps even develop their own language, one that we might not be able to understand? (How would we even identify such a thing? Think of dolphins - we know something is going on there, but we haven't been able to translate it.)

Async is for the area between "Slack" and "Documentation" -- it covers things like project statuses, requests for comment, new feature discussions, company announcements, Friday updates and lots more. You can think of it like a cross between a blog and Twitter feed. We're starting to add more Reddit-like features for customizing the experience and sub-groups but that is pretty early still.

I don't think Async solves the problem you mention -- that is more of a cultural thing. We expect folks to message each-other frequently (preferably in a public room with an @ mention) but set the expectation that you don't need to respond immediately. The public aspect is important as you will often get "drive-by help" from someone else on the team!
It’s currently fashionable to reject the idea that the functioning of the human mind is influenced at all by genetics.

Some famous philosophers of the past, despite lacking the wealth of scientific data we have today, managed to conclude more or less the opposite, which (we now know) is correct: our minds are both programmed by our environment AND come pre-populated with a wide array of firmware modules thanks to the phenotypic expression of our genes.

For a really great in-depth exploration of these facts, check out Steven Pinker’s 2002 book “The Blank Slate”.
The problem was discussed several times across different courses for us. Essentially this is all based on Friedman's book Capitalism and Freedom, which says:

> There is one and only one social responsibility of business – to use its resources and engage in activities designed to increase its profits

That is the basis for the argument your professor made. However, the passage in its entirety is:

> There is one and only one social responsibility of business – to use its resources and engage in activities designed to increase its profits so long as it stays within the rules of the game, which is to say, engages in open and free competition without deception or fraud.

Which is a pretty major caveat.
> Yes, their total tax bill is ~$17,000 more a year than today’s median household income...

Glad to see the author pointed this out. Regardless of what you think of his budget, this basic taxation fact remains true.
Such a claim wouldn’t be taken seriously by scientists who are also, say, deists or Christians though (there are, perhaps surprisingly to some, quite a few).

The claim makes a ‘category error’, supposing that science and religion are trying to answer the same questions. This is not necessarily the case for all faith systems.

For example, I think it was Oxford mathematician John Lennox who said that he didn’t believe in a “God of the gaps” but a “God of the whole thing” - that he expects anything (within the limits of scientific explanation) can be explained by science and mathematics, but simultaneously believes the whole system was authored and is continually sustained by God.

For Christians and Jews at least, I wouldn’t expect that many people ever believed in God just because science couldn’t explain things (in comparison, I think a lot of polytheistic belief systems came out of trying to explain physical phenomena). It’s more the idea of revelation (through prophets etc.) and later the historical person of Jesus that would be the basis.

Yes, if a person steals property that property can be replaced / victim made hole via restitution, it holds no value to society or the victim to place that person in a cage, a cage that also must be paid for by taking property of others in the form of taxation.

If someone takes $1,000 from me, I would much rather have $1,500 in restitution than $0 and the person go to jail

I certainly don't know the answer in this case, but to understand why sacrifice might be rational, you have to really contort your thinking and imagine your cost vs. benefit analysis when depriving your thought from centuries of advances in philosophy of science:

For the early humans many things obvious to us now were simply not known. The idea of an omnipotent sun god who controls the seasons isn't a priori crazy or anything. Why would it be? The normalization of how the solar system works only seems rational now because it's been scientifically presented to us.

In that sense a prediction that some entity controls this phenomena isn't necessarily superstitious. It's a fine prediction. But how do we get from there, to sacrifice?

Well, if we don't understand the mechanism of action for how these systems work, we can still try to make inference on them using statistics. For example: Sacrifice someone, then observe if anything changes. Before anyone ever ran this experiment, it's not obvious it wouldn't work. It's only obvious to us now because (a) we know the mechanism of action has no plausible link to human sacrifice, and (b) because people ran the experiment before, and it didn't work.

At the time, however, the benefit to this working would be huge, and the cost to society as a whole relatively small. This type of proto-statistical experimentation is, I think, what eventually led humanity to its core discoveries. In that sense we can't retroactively say the experiments that didn't work were superstitious or irrational, but the ones that did work were clever. For example, much of modern medicine arose from vast amounts of superstition and random experimentation.
The core of the argument here seems to be that the current downtown is more 'financially productive' than the mall, but it also seems that the entire reason the downtown is financially productive is that it isn't retail. As the article notes, the downtown retail shops all went out of business decades ago because they weren't making any money. Why would downtown retail magically be super prosperous today if the mall hadn't been built back then? The entire brick and mortar retail industry is collapsing right now. Presumably most of what's left is office space, and of course office space would rake in more money per acre than retail.

> It would be worth a test - an old-style incandescent on one side of the house, a contemporary LED on the other, see which one attracts more bugs!

There's already a surprisingly lot of solid info on that out there [0]
The gist is pretty much: Most LED don't emit UV and produce less heat, as such they are generally less attractive for flying bugs.

LED ability to change color is an extra advantage, as flying bugs prefer some colors (cool white) over others (warm yellow) and some they supposedly can't even see (red).

I've played around with what color of light to use in my office at night, where the window is pretty much always open due to heat and monitors tend to "collect" all the bugs.

Using only red light really reduces the number of bugs coming in, but then you are sitting in red light all the time, feeling like you are hunting for Red October.

Someone I know just today described breaking an electronic device as "letting the smoke out".

Those four simple words are funny and beautiful, simultaneously absurd and reasonable. To me this is poetry. Elegance, in the mathematical sense, only the problem space is describing things, rather than proving them.

Rather than not "getting" poetry, I think you can settle for simply arguing that it isn't poetry, or that you don't like it. Surely though, with a degree in creative writing, you've found something to be poetic.

There's a video of someone reproducing this (and not crashing) on YouTube --- he managed to stop the car in time, but still came awfully close to the divider, and this is someone who was likely paying a lot more attention at the time than the typical autopilot user.

To have to fight the autopilot and correct the wrong decisions it sometimes makes is what makes it scarier than manual driving, since in the latter case you don't have to fight where the car goes --- unless the steering/suspension is defective or the road is very uneven, it will go in a straight line with no driver input.

Very unnerving!I have never looked them up or viewed their website! How did this happen? Very creepy!

I don’t think there should be jail time for copyright infringement or counterfeiting (or any white collar crime for that matter). So there is definitely that angle; someone shouldn’t be going to jail for something like that.

That’s unfortunately not the angle WaPo and Tech Crunch ran with. They don’t question the over criminalization, but rather focus on the factual issue of whether he was conspiring to counterfeit or not.

If you haven’t, I recommend watching “I, Tonya.” Did Tonya Harding conspire to attack Nancy Kerrigan? You can definitely present a version of the story where she had no idea, as well as versions of the story where she participated directly. The movie does a great job of weaving in and highlighting the disputed facts in a way that conveys the ambiguity of the story.

Journalists often fall into the trap of taking one of those stories at face value. And I think that’s what happened here.

(Incidentally, this is quite typical in outrage porn stories intended to direct ire to the justice system. There’s almost always more to the story than the articles let on.)

> No one issued an edict saying "there shall be no more mom and pop stores downtown."

In our case, here in Bloomington, IN, that's precisely what happened. The owners (primarily Indiana University Foundation) raised rents on the city square. They tripled rents.

It's knocked 2 businesses right out. They couldn't relocate, because the previous locations were destroyed for "affordable housing for rich foreign students". Read that as rents hovering around $1500/mo. So what did those businesses do? They went out of business. Gone. But hey, we'll get more overly-expensive housing!

> It sounds more like sour grapes from a city planner who resents the commercial taxes going to Baxter instead of Brainerd.

Unfortunately, there's one main topic that dismisses this reasoning. 10 year abatements. I've seen the abatements come up again and again. It's a form of corporate welfare. Where's MY abatements? Where's the small business abatements? Where's the 'small guy' relief?

Well, to put it bluntly, "We don't get no relief". Big business has this hand-wavey ambience that we somehow absolutely want them here, for perceived benefits. But what it amounts to is a shell game with corporate welfare, money exfiltrated out of the community, and a worthless husk in a few decades.

> He mentions the sewer, water, and roads that were built to support the mall location

It's regardless who initially paid for them. Those pipes are there, and will require significant upkeep to keep them in any sort of standard. And those business again, with abatements, aren't paying. And nobody's paying if the malls are dead and shuttered. Those pipes are what I would call a "Toxic Asset". And that's before discussing massive water quality issues we're seeing in small and midrange communities around the country. Flint's the worst, but happening in hundreds of areas.

I used to read source-code specifically to look for security problems. Auditing of code as a small hobby. I found some fun issues over the years.

Reading code has become a habit these days. If I depend upon a library I try to glance at it. If I install a new application I try to have a read of some of it. It stops you from blindly depending on poor-quality software, and sometimes makes you choose an alternative.
There’s a lot of over-summarizing going on in the comments here. The context you need to understand the Strong Towns argument is that this isn’t an appeal to nostalgia. Rather the author is trying to point out that the transition to the suburban centralized retail model was heavily subsidized by local and state governments, and that it actually hurt the local economy in the end.

The problem is that same public infrastructure subsidy program remains the principal model of “economic development” across the US.

The main case Strong Towns is trying to make is that the model does not produce returns (ie local tax income less infrastructure maintenance and public service liabilities) that justify the investment, and thus we need to stop using it.
