Except for the part where mom-and-pop stores were competing with large retailers operating out of state, who could undercut them because they weren't charging sales tax.

I suppose we should continue that state of affairs, because heaven forbid we hurt the mom-and-pop online stores... Which make up a tiny fraction of overall commerce, compared to physical mom-and-pop stores.

Absolutely. One of the biggest problems in autism advocacy is high-functioning people (like me) and (the guardians of) low-functioning people constantly talking past each other. Some people are perfectly happy as they are and don't want to be changed, some people are desperately unhappy and could really benefit from treatment or even a "cure". The spectrum is far too broad for a single approach to work.

> I've had people get mad at me for saying that I have a son with autism when I apparently should have said that I have an autistic son.

I honestly can't remember which one of those I'm "supposed" to be. I could make a case against either: "person with autism" might sound like it's some outside affliction, "autistic person" might sound like the condition matters more than the person. But extreme concern over small details is a defining trait of autism, and I do it too on other subjects, so I suppose I can't be too judgmental...

Writing is one the best ways to learn something. It doesn't follow that that writing should be published.

The problem with blog tutorials is that it is democratization without meritocracy. There is no curation mechanism to bubble the good stuff to the top. Search engines rank by popularity, not quality. At least with forums and Q&A sites, there are natural feedback/reputation mechanisms to achieve some semblance of quality control. Blogs don't have that (they only have commenting, which depends on someone caring enough to comment).

This results in very low signal to noise, and a tragedy of the commons situation happens. In most systems, there is a cost to high-volume low-quality content because it discourages participants. (I don't know if you remember MySpace...)

You can't stop people from publishing low quality content, but if only there was a way to curate such content based on some standards (not gatekeeping... but curation). Quora tried and was successful in the early days because it started with a high quality contributor base, but that base has now been diluted and the platform no longer offers an enjoyable experience.

it is very hard for television providers to carry ESPN without also carrying a massive bundle of other marginally-popular ESPN channels that few people want. This is because some cable channels base their advertising rates on the number of subscribers, not the number of people watching a program

The reason you get all the ESPN "Ocho" channels is because ESPN requires cable companies to carry them in order to offer ESPN at all. Cable companies pay ESPN for the privilege.[1]

It's not that I'm plot-focused — some of my favourite novels don't have much of a plot at all — but I expect a novel to provide a certain structure that has a point to it.

To me, Dance comes across as an immature sketch, an example where Murakami had lots of things he wanted to include, but he didn't know to create the architecture around which themes could come together. Some of the plot points seem like Murakami wanting to burrow into a kind of Lynchian Hollywood reality, with serial killers and weird hotels. I didn't find those as being interesting ways to explore the character's "internal journey".

Dance doesn't "click", whereas the Wind-Up Bird Chronicle is extremely satisfying in the way it does.

you don't need a blockchain or other distributed ledger technology to do it, yet the community built around those DLT projects are much more supportive and more economically aligned and are cheaply acquired

- kickstarter style consumer-product fundraising

it doesn't matter if thats an agreeable stance, that is the reality right now. If you don't like it, then a series of tools have to be made to compete, good luck bootstrapping your community around that goal.

The Dow Jones index being a poor index (as well as being a price index) does not mean the idea of a stock market index is a poor one; the title of the article especially was poorly chosen by the editor. The S&P500 Index is another stock market index and is far from meaningless -- its level reflects expectations about the future profits of the largest 80% of American companies. The S&P500 has its own weaknesses because it does not fully capture the stock market (use something like the CRSP Total Stock Market Index or the Dow Jones U.S. Total Market Index) and because it is a price index (compare to the German DAX which is total return-based).

The article overreaches in its conclusions.

You are disputing the most basic fact of CO2 being a greenhouse gas. This is why we say "skeptics" can't be bothered to understand the science.

If CO2 isn't a greenhouse gas then go write a paper about it and claim your Nobel.

Note that we put "skeptics" in quotes because cranks aren't skeptics. A skeptic would consider that the one guy who failed to replicate an experiment may be wrong, as well as the possibility that all the other people who ran the experiment were wrong.

I agree with this approach!

Actually, the federal government should oblige each member state to provide the algorithm, and sign it cryptographically and have it expire every X fixed time interval, and have signed algorithms for the current and next time interval, so that software can automatically fetch and stay up to date.

Then the "business opportunity" of navigating FUD evaporates. Currently any such enterprise charging for such a service can spend a fraction of their budget lobbying against harmonization...

Since it would be an obligation of the states to the federal government, these algorithms (provided by each member state) should be hosted on a fixed federal government site.

Some of these seem to weaken the case for blockchain for two reasons:

1. They ultimately require some kind of real world authority. For instance a land registry requires the authority to accept the transaction and then enforce it.

2. They're just using crypto

> if the compiler is permitted to assume that [...] nonaligned reads/writes work

One of the most popular architectures for "a reasonable UNIX on a reasonable modern machine with a single flat address space for code and data" is the x86, and on it, some nonaligned reads/writes do trap. Certain optimizations can be done only if the compiler is permitted to assume that the data is aligned.
> Wire transfer fees are a set amount, usually around $40, not a percentage of the total amount transferred. You can do the math to figure out at what dollar threshold sending wire transfers through your bank becomes cheaper than using Transferwise.

Absolutely do the math, but keep in mind that fees are not the only fees when doing FX: few banks will use the spot FX rate for wire transfers, they'll typically add a spread of about 3%.

This question is asked and discussed rigorously any time a study that involves animal testing is proposed. At least it is in a scientific research setting in the US. There are boards dedicated to ensuring that the potential scientific benefit is sufficient to warrant whatever suffering the animals will endure. Obviously this is subjective, but the point is that these issues are considered in detail.
Similarly, despite the existence of LLVM and the simplicity of the various assemblies, tons of languages target C, mostly to facilitate easier interop with native libraries and because pretty much everything has a C compiler. Perhaps there were similar reasons to compile to Elixir, but I honestly can't think of any. It might just be for faster compiler development, at least until the featureset of Elchemy begins to significantly diverge from that of Elixir.
I was really hoping this would go into some of the tax implications as well.

I was semi-recently denied a fully remote job because my state of residence would have caused the company to have a "sufficient physical presence" in the state, and meant that they would have to do a lot of extra work as well as paying extra sales taxes for sales in that state as well as setup the infrastructure to send the required taxes to that state.

It was enough of a hassle and cost that they decided to go with someone else over me, because they were in a state that the company already had employees in (at least that's what they told me...)
> Everyone else would be financially better off if they worked for a large company instead.

To be fair a lot of the change is because large companies are paying people so much these days. Barring large amounts of funding, a Series A- startup (based on the company being 0-2 years old definition of the article) simply can't compete with salaries.

Perhaps startups should start offering far more equity to early employees (I'm surprised you don't see more seed stage firms offering ~5% to senior devs) to compensate for the cash loss.

I've done homelessness in between jobs for this very reason (I used to work for Oracle lol). It was awesome. And I don't mean to imply that I was on the streets, needle in my arm, skid row type homeless. Those men and women and kids are going through really rough shit.

I mean that I was sleeping in my car in the woods or at national parks or in corporate parking lots (not Walmart, more like Regional Shipping Corporation INC after 7PM and all the employees have gone home).

It was the most liberating and freeing period of my life. I came back to work because I want more money and I thought I could save enough money to put an actual roof over my head (and my gf's too). Apparently I'm wrong- this is the most expensive housing market ever, and many cities/towns/counties don't want to let me put a pre-fab house on any piece of land in their jurisdiction...

Short answer: dental school is expensive (average $91K/year), he's an orthodontist (which requires 3 years of specialized training on top of 4 years of dental school on top of 4 years of college), tuition went up significantly when he was at school, and compounding interest is brutal when you owe a lot over long periods of time. He's also on IBR, which means the sum will keep compounding and the principal will just be wiped clean once he's made payments for 25 years.
> can’t be readily explained

It works "pretty well"
in well-defined complete-information domains like Go.

The training in that case is actually about improving the next dataset from which higher-quality patterns are extracted.

1.We have a NN that doesn't know how to play and makes random moves.

2.Blank slate dataset filled from random games.

3.NN learns to produce better games by weighting wins vs losses, making losing moves less likely and winning moves more likely.

4.NN produces slightly better dataset.

5.Repeat #3 until you have covered a large chunk of go openings and have pretty good estimation for move quality.

6.NN becomes the condensed statistic pattern data extracted
from billions of games, able to estimate value of a move more accurately than humans.

Still in some rare cases it "condensed pattern database" will make mistakes due gaps in data or wrong correlation that NN hallucinated from its connections.

Funny, I hear anti-competitive not business opportunity.

It's a business opportunity now, but as with many government laws, in the future businesses end up depending on government forcing their markets existence. So then they lobby for the government to keep the system, even if it's out dated or badly thought out. We can't stream line anything, because entrenched businesses don't want anything to change.

It makes me sad the world is this way.
The US system of local sales taxes doesn't look awesome ever. If there were one economic reform I would push in the US it would be advertised price is final price (i.e. if you say "I'm selling this for $9.99" then that's all you pay, and the taxes are all inclusive) this would pretty much force underlying tax reform as businesses lost their shit having to deal with the insanity.

Note that the disaster area that is US regulatory overlap means passing a law like this is probably impossible without constitutional amendment.

Right now in the US it's often difficult, and sometimes impossible, to know how much you'll actually be paying in any transaction. It's ridiculous, and from a pure Econ 101 perspective it's a first order problem in the market.
