I know people who do this, and I have to resist the urge to bait them. Frankly, I find behaviors like this manipulative, and have enough of a cantankerous streak to manipulate back, if I notice it and become irritated enough.

Another side of this is that I've seen people do this when frustrated, and after a while it can start feeling nasty and passive-aggressive and difficult to respond to. Or be around.
They did not go to zero. They did not even go as low as 2009. The water crises started in Apr 2014 resulting in a brief drop of typical sized followed immediately next quarter by a record breaking rise to record high prices even though sales were low before it.

That is an interesting perspective. Do you think a lot of people think like that? Or whether it is more likely that people simply purchase their homes in youth, go on with their lives, grow old there and one day find out that their community is desirable and thus their property taxes have spiked? And that they might be kicked out of their homes only because they are now living on fixed incomes and hence cannot afford increased taxes?

I bet more people will be in the later bucket than the ones who analyze things like you do. Since (property) tax policy depends on politics, which is driven mostly by emotions rather than reason, how would you persuade people to think like you? And if one cannot persuade them and simply try to impose one's preferred tax policy by whatever means, then we will see a tax revolt similar to what happened in 1978 with Prop 13.
I’ve paid to use Google services before, and had the most miserable customer service experience with a company ever. Contact information difficult to find, and walled behind accounts you have no knowledge of potentially, and policies designed to be explicitly hostile (I had them admit that outright to me) - I ended up out of $500+ as a result, for which they only were willing to refund $20.

Google seems to just be an exceptionally bad actor - I’ve been starting to move away from dependence on them as a result, as they’ve proven to me that I cannot rely on them to be honest/transparent in the most important ways.
It's a different handshake now. They change it every time someone claims to know it.
IPv6 is faster on Centurylink Fiber than IPv4, by a good 25 to 30ms (eg: local servers will be 2ms to 3ms over IPv6, or 27ms to 33ms via IPv4). This is primarily due to much more open peering policies for IPv6, they peer with Hurricane Electric in Seattle on IPv6 (but not via IPv4), HE has established itself as a critical peer for IPv6 (which benefits me greatly!).
We're VERY high latency here. only 3 sub cables and only one of those is a North American link that first stops twice in Greenland. We need better connectivity.
12TB? Is this a business or a residential service? How do you use that much data?
So this guy moved into Kreuzberg a full year after the last time I was in Berlin. And this is now historic. Man, I'm old. East Berlin was a scary place, if you ever took the U-Bahn, went through pass control, and popped up on a street that might as well have been 1,000 miles from West Berlin. Mostly I would just go to the Communist's liquor store on the U-Bahn platform and buy some good Eastern European hard alcohol for cheap, get back on the next train. Good times.

Well too late now but this is why you either hand it in to a human and get a receipt or you send it via certified or registered mail because that'll hold up in court.

It's unfortunate anyone has to go through so much trouble to prove to Century Link what their inventory system is probably telling them anyway but it's always best to protect yourself.

I am a little disappointed he hasn’t released the source, but I am also sympathetic. He wants to be free to change major things about the language while he’s designing it, and that’s harder if other people are using it.

That said, if you want to know what Jai is about, I recommend starting from his first video: https://youtu.be/TH9VCN6UkyQ

The first couple dozen videos are all pretty dense, with him presenting the basics of the language pretty efficiently. (His more recent vids are more like development vlogs) Yes, videos are slow, but for me I don’t think I would’ve appreciated his design choices without all the context.

I also found watching his process for inventing the language extremely instructive, just as a programmer. It has substantially formed my own process and thinking over the last few years.
Perhaps it is time to chip away at Prop 13 bit by bit?

- remove Prop 13 protections for non-people owners (i.e. corporations, trusts etc)

- remove Prop 58 protections (inheritance benefits) for non-primary residences

- remove Prop 13 protections for non-primary residences

Let's inundate California voters with ballots which will start removing Prop 13 protections from those who don't deserve them. Some ballot initiatives will fail, but some will succeed and things will be better for them.

> The title of this article seems to imply that face painting was intentionally used among Juggalos to deter computerized facial recognition...

I find it so interesting how we all interpret text so differently.

As I said in another comment, Knowing how many discoveries throughout history were completely accidental I actually interpreted the headline to mean they “stumbled upon” a method to beat facial recognition.

Its neat how we all infer our own meanings from headlines, at least here in this community we generally assume good faith rather than jumping to assumptions that the authors are bad people.

And you’re right about the CVDazzle, the cyberpunk nerd in me desperately hopes something like this becomes a fashion trend.
IMHO, they sure were. It could just as well have been MailRabbit and TaskChimp, and we wouldn't have cared.
Most countries in Europe have their own distinct national culture since our borders were mostly made to match cultural and language differences. Americans might not appreciate what it means to have a shared national culture with unique traditions and strongly shared values fostered over millennia but to us it matters a lot.
That's what I do with Google Drive?

If I were to get banned from Google, I'd still have my folder as a backup which I can then upload to Dropbox or whatever alternative.

While I'm waiting for the piece of Unifi kit that does PPPoE and DHCP, I've got their switch plugged into my old router - straight away the switch was able to work out that this was a WAN connection and none of my other traffic gets routed through that. To set the same thing up on LEDE took hours.

Not really... It's just about a 4th degree argument I'm making.

-1st degree:Real wage growth doesn't happen, because investor behavior wants the most money back to them from a company.

-2nd degree: A company will try to trim "waste" by cutting immediate liabilities to the lowest they can to maintain requisite Talent.

-3rd Degree: Talent is going to go where the biggest bucks can be made, and that will be the biggest market behemoth which exists currently. The infusion of investor capital exaggerates buying power to acquire and retain Talent which would be necessary for smaller competitors to get a leg up against the behemoth"s entrenched position. This leads to value deserts, which adversely effects industry as a whole.

-4th degree: Smaller competitors die in value deserts. supply goes down, demand stays the same or goes up. Prices go up, profit goes up, return to 1st degree.

Wal-Mart captured a great deal of investor capital. In order to keep itself looking tempting to investor's it has to grow (diversify), cut liabilities (minimize wage growth, decrease employment/payroll via automation, and minimize benefits expenditures through scheduling shenanigans), or do BOTH at the same time by vertically integrating their supply chain and using loss leading's attendant benefits to undercut small producers; this pushes them out of the market, jacks up prices on the commodity when supply goes down, thereby increasing profits, thereby drawing more investment capital. Start the cycle again with the next industry.

It's called a positive feedback loop, and in nature, if they aren't compensated for, bad things happen. It just so happens that this one has a multi-generational period, so no-one has lived long enough or paid enough attention to get upset about it. If they did, I just haven't found their paper, bit I have the feeling people are starting to notice, even if they can't articulate it.

It goes back to wage growth because of the link between 1 and 2. 3 and 4 are what cause the actual societal\market damage. You can't "solve" the problem without fundamental rethink on the axiom that kicks off all of this, which is "the best investment is to dump as much money as possible into the fastest growing company", which has a sub axiom of "growth without bounds is acceptable and to be encouraged".

It ain't straightforward, but nothing about economics seems to be. If there is a glaring flaw, please enlighten me. I REALLY want to improve my understanding.

I feel like Horoscopes and Zodiac signs do this, in a sense.

How about Heinlein's take? It starts out as a godforsaken penal colony, but then turns into a libertarian paradise for the self reliant.

Here's the most compelling reason for starting settlement off planet: Polities that exist in a larger context will come to dominate human culture. A solar system wide culture based on relatively primitive, inefficient O'Neill colony habitats could still support a human population in the trillions with only known resources, solar power, and only small extrapolations from current technology.
Thanks for clarifying. I feel bad for jumping on you so quickly. There is a growing anti-free speech movement that scares me and I come down on it hard even at the hint of it. I've lost good friends over it.

I agree with your point (if I'm understanding it correctly), you can't use software to encode human values.

Piracy is an interesting example. Companies implemented DRM to try and stop people from copying information they own, and it failed. Now people are attempting to do the same to stop companies from copying their information. It didn't work in one direction, why would it work in the other?

I do teach compassion. Mainly to people who need it in their relationship with themselves and their children.

It has a lot to do with un-teaching (self-)oppression and habitual cruelty.

Hmmm. Am I allowed to ask why this is on HN?
Went to the comments to say exactly this. It's a much simpler setup!
If that was the case we would live in a very different world. Discipline is necessary for children, they cant reason, why something is supposed to be in a certain way, so speaking to them like they do at an age of 5, is the real danger here.

As they grow older and understand more complex concepts you can start to educate them on the nuances and reasons but in my experience, they will automatically start asking you at the right age and you should be able to just use that as your trajectory IMO.

Fc Barcelona will be paying out of their own pocket to renovate Camp Nou.

I'm not aware the barbaric culture of billionaires using tax payers money to build a stadium and then keeping the profits from it anywhere outside US.
That's not an actual problem. You simply have 2 trains each broadcasts it's location. It's unexpected separations that might be a problem, but those are currently very rare and dealt with seperatly than static signals.

It's like you need to design a nuclear reactor to deal with an aircraft hitting it. You don't need to automate the response becase that's a rare situation.
Jeremy from fast.ai here. Thanks for the thoughtful summary. A few more clarifications which hopefully are of some interest:

- Sylvain tried AdamW + 1cycle on many different datasets and with different architectures. The 5-10x improvement over regular SGD and LR annealing was not a rare occurrence, but was the most common result

- Accuracy was always at least about as good as the regular approach, and usually better

- So our main result here is to strongly suggest that AdamW + 1cycle should be the default for most neural net training

- The goal of this research was to improve the fastai library, not to write a paper. But since the results were so practically useful we figured we'd take the time to document them in a blog post so others can benefit too

- fastai is a self-funded (i.e out of my own pocket) non-profit research lab.
I have my own domain, and use gmail for free. Because I'm cheap, not because I care. One day I'll find a better solution, one that avoids Google (paid or unpaid) altogether.
JRuby 9.2 already included some general improvements designed to help Graal optimize, and 9.2.x will continue that process. I have already landed logic in 9.2.1 that will "right-size" objects based on observed instance variables, and I'm hoping to land a 64-bit long/double version of Array that will reduce the cost of numeric algorithms that use arrays (e.g. matrices, image manipulation).

I don't know that we will really need to ever ship Graal; if you get OpenJDK 10+ you'll have it available. However we may at some point detect that Graal is available and turn it on for you. In the short term, the JAVA_OPTS env var is pretty simple to use, or just run on the community version of GraalVM that uses Graal JIT by default.

I'm a bit confused as to what your thesis is, but perhaps it's because I'm distracted by the fact that there seems to be a misunderstanding of what the data show.

FTA:

>The concept used is the total number of hours worked over the year divided by the average number of people in employment.

(emphasis mine)

My understanding is that the stereotypes are about "Germans" and "Greeks", which implies total populations (presumably defined by residency or nationality or something similar), but that data uses, as a denominator, only that portion of the population which is employed.

The inclusion of the population at large, or, more importantly, the population that could be employed, is discussed elsewhere in the thread (outside of the notion of stereotypes) as being a more useful indication of something like labor output (at least as compared with potential total output), especially when compared with GDP.

I have Century Link fiber in Seattle and the internet experience has been good. They do keep charging me for 2(!) modems, though--one that I mailed back and one that I never had. Every six months or so I call them up and they credit the erroneous charges back to my account and remove the modems. Invariably the modem charges show back up 1-3 months later. I'm pretty sure this is some sort of procedural dark pattern meant to rip off everyone audacious enough to bring their own modem but not routinely check their bill.
For those arguing that cash also has costs: cash usually doesn't cost the poorer classes of people, but cards, even when used by relatively wealthier people, make things more expensive for the poorer classes. The title of a different article, written by someone who uses cash, could be "We're all subsidizing people who use cards", and it would ring higher on the moral scale.
It appears to me that Google’s blog post admits guilt of the accusations. No?

> There is certainly no way you can run your own email server for $50/yr (or even a few hundred per year)

If you're talking about self-hosting at home, then probably true unless you're using something like a Raspberry Pi to run the server.

You can get web hosting including email at your own domain for somewhere around $50/year, though. I think I'm paying $26/year for hosting and $13/year for domain registration (or thereabouts, it's a trivial amount anyway) which comes with as many email addresses as I want at the domain, 10GB storage, and some amount of web traffic (50GB/mo maybe?) that's never been an issue.
> There's a pattern parents are supposed to follow now. When a child does something undesirable, you criticise the individual action. When they do something desirable, you praise the overall quality.

I have been seeing this advice a lot lately.

I wonder whether some of the value of that you get from following this advice as a parent is that you consciously decide to minimize the impact of the fundamental attribution error (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_attribution_error).

Being on the receiving end of that kind of error can feel unpleasantly unfair and can hurt your relationship with the person who makes it ("when X bad thing happens to me, I was unlucky; when it happens to you, it's your fault for being unprepared").
