Say hello to Android 9 Pie
I was turned away at a theater early this year when they tried to strongarm AMC by denying customer access to the top 10 AMC theaters.

I love going to movies, but I don't love struggling to fit a company's now constantly shifting criteria -- especially when I have higher priority time consuming hobbies that don't leave much in the way of flexibility.
While I don't quite appreciate your sentiment, I do appreciate your honesty. What you say is quite true, and most people are unwilling to admit that in public. However, if most people internalized the fact that your POV is pretty much the norm I think many folks would be much better off. So again, thanks.
How the U.S. Saved the World from Financial Ruin
"Individuals are likely to get divorced in the years before bankruptcy and then remarry. Income falls before bankruptcy and then rises after bankruptcy."
In the midst of an otherwise depressing read, this is actually good news. It indicates that people stuck in a downward spiral of stress and bad financial decisions, are able to break out of that spiral by declaring bankruptcy. That is exactly what it is designed for.
Considering that medical businesses are free to set their own prices, and occupational licensing prevents doctors from cheaper English-speaking countries (India, UK) from moving in and setting up a practice, how far are you willing to take that maxim?

* Everyone should get medical care when a routine physical costs $100?

* Everyone should get medical care when a routine physical costs $1,000?

* Everyone should get medical care when a routine physical costs $10,000?
> If I had a choice between burning my kids’ estate to sneak out a year in agony or die with dignity, I know which I’d choose.

It's a false choice. The U.S. is the wealthiest country in the history of the world, and other, poorer countries provide universal health care. The choice isn't between providing health care to old or to young people, but between providing health care to everyone or (putting more money in some people's pockets? probably not even that when the cost of uninsured, unhealthy people is factored in).
I guess. Sex, drugs and cheap thrills ;)

And some of us went further. We didn't have kids.
>You can make a photovoltaic panels fab with the money that goes into a nuclear power plant, and complete it faster.

We already have dirt cheap PV thanks to China. Panels are not the problem. Storage and transmission is. Until ultra-cheap grid-scale batteries are a reality, solar will only ever be viable in certain areas at certain times.
You're not disagreeing with each other
During the thread from the competition there were a few comments suggesting that the neural network could easily be run on a personal computer.

Given the massive network architecture linked in the post (https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/openai-assets/dota_benchm...), I am rather curious what hardware was used to make predictions for the Benchmark match. Especially due to the 2048 unit LSTM.

The model outputs are also interesting; they're all discrete actions (even movements), no continuous outputs (aside from win probability).
A bit off topic, but: What is the postmodern stance on lies? If "all {opinions / stories / facts / utterances} are viewed as equally meaningful and important", does that leave any place for saying that something is a lie?

If not, that's a huge problem. If your philosophy/epistemology doesn't understand that some things are simply lies, and some statements are simply intending to lie, that leaves a huge vulnerability for liars to exploit.
They are, and I'm sure they are great places to live. But the person I responded to was hoping Midwest can compete with NYC/SF/SEA/DC/etc, so I offered the reasons why I think there's a structural reason that you don't see that headline, and not just because some VC fund hasn't offered money to people in the midwest. It's because the people the VC funds want to invest in also want to live in the cities with high rents.
Are you sure it's that unlikely?

Yeah, I'm hopeful that we will reverse the dependency, but I think it needs to be more organic/grassroots than the Sierra Club can drive. We need to come to a collective understanding that we want more alternative forms of travel, for safety or economy or health or just to escape traffic jams.
> Yes but only because Intel hit the wall first.

I fail to see how that's relevant. What matters is what products are available in the market and how much they cost, and AMD's offering is both cheaper and more performant than anything Intel managed to put together.
from the paper:

"[...] learnable network parameter that is iteratively adjusted during the training process of the diffractive network, using an error back-propagation method. After this numerical training phase implemented in a computer, the D^2NN design is fixed and the transmission/reflection coefficients of the neurons of all the layers are determined. This D^2NN design, once physically fabricated using e.g., 3D-printing, 3lithography, etc., can then perform, at the speed of light propagation, the specific task that it is trained for, using only optical diffraction and passive optical components/layers, creating an efficient and fast way of implementing machine learning tasks."
So who determines which companies have the rights to exclude others and which doesn't?

Considering the Cali coast has the highest cost of living, doesn't that mean it is where many people want to be?

Boston/NYC have the benefits of being in very highly populated areas with very old institutions, especially with reputations like MIT/Harvard/Columbia/etc and there's already a lot of money floating around, so that makes up for the weather part a little. It's not just one factor, it's a combination of all of these that unfortunately make some places more desirable to live in than others. And who knows, may be it will change in the future.

I thought it was interesting how many of the wrong designs were similar to the lead image, with one central triangle and all other elements sprouting from it. It's tantalizingly close to the "standard" design, yet still incorrect.

I wonder how many of those people would insist that their sketch is correct, even when confronted with the evidence of an actual bicycle for comparison...
The AMC Stubs A-list plan seems better to me in that there is a price cap (no peak pricing), and it works for IMAX and 3D movies:

> See up to 3 movies every week in IMAX®, Dolby Cinema, RealD® 3D, digital and more for just $19.95/month (+tax).

I'm honestly surprised that site's still up.
> I expect the court proceeding dealing with your arrest / punishment would be sealed.

Sure, but at a certain point, surely they will have to come and pick you up? What if there are journalists present who ask that you are being put away for? "We can't tell" surely isn't an answer they won't accept? That's eerily close to arbitrary detention.
I have no problem finding documentation for google cloud which has a similar naming scheme.

I don’t use a search engine though because they have made a good documentation site.

If you scroll down, the designer has produced images that match some of the ideas from the sketches. They are beautiful and mesmerizing.

At first I thought he had actually built out the physical bicycles from the sketches, but it turns out they are just computer renderings. Nonetheless it shows the power of "mistake" driven design, to generate novel ideas.
I think we need a few things to win the war:
1) A few more technological solutions to make the switch to carbon free energy painless (think grid scale batteries, hopefully fusion power someday). In reality people won't want to give up some of the great benefits of a carbon-intensive lifestyle such as travel and convenience.
2) A political movement to make the case that the switch will be not-so-bad.
3) A social movement to focus on what people actually need in life (health, friends, family), not material wealth. And to consider their place in the world on century time scales.

Thanks all ;).
This is not good advice. Enough people have given away all their assets to qualify for Medicaid, that there are rules to prevent this:

>...To prevent candidates from simply giving away their money or resources to qualify for Medicaid, the federal government implemented the “look-back period”. This is a set period of time prior to the individual’s application during which the Medicaid administering agency reviews all the financial transactions that the senior has made. If a transaction is found in violation of the look back period’s rules, the applicant will be assessed a penalty. Penalties come in the form of a period of time that the applicant is made ineligible for Medicaid.

https://www.payingforseniorcare.com/medicaid/look-back-perio...

The "lookback period" is usually 5 years.

Also since nursing homes lose money on medicaid patients they tend to have limits on how many medicaid patients they will accept. If you are on medicaid, you might not be able to to find a reasonable nursing home that will accept you.

A better answer us to buy long-term care insurance. If you go into a nursing home and you eventually have to go on medicaid, it is illegal for them to kick you out.
It's almost as if someone wanted turn burn a few billion to verify the economic model that dictates current movie ticket prices. IOW, with the new restrictions, it sounds a lot like the "dollar cinema" we had growing up: for a dollar, you can watch 2nd-run movies. Lot's of restrictions around that, too. Usually only one movie showing at a particular cinema, showings are usually only in the evening, etc. But, because first-run movies are priced as they are for some good reasons, to make it cheaper there were some corners cut.

But I didn't need billions in VC money to come up with that one my own when I was 16 and watching the first Friday the 13th for $1.
Musk's Mars plan depends on reducing the marginal costs of launching so much that SpaceX could with minimal expenditure chuck dozens of rockets at Mars every year loaded with supplies and crew.

This is important to keep in mind when wondering why a corporation would continue pushing its costs down after obtaining an effective monopoly. As long as Mars is the goal SpaceX won't turn into a ULA or Ariane. But if for some reason SpaceX ceases to pursue Mars then it would likely recapitulate the same business decisions of every other spacefaring corporation.
Sure, but that's also why children are dying because their parents didn't vaccinate them after they listened to a bunch of fools.

They had their ups and downs. The athlon 64 was a masterpiece in both performance and power consumption, in part because they made power management an integral part of the platform not just for laptops. At the time it was released Intel was busy pushing the pentium 4 to its limits, making it a great replacement for central heating during winter.

Then Intel was on top of the game again with the core architecture and while bulldozer (iirc) improved in that regard again Intel was still ahead, especially as bulldozer sucked pretty much in every other regard. Ryzen seems to be about on par with current Intel CPUs (performance per watt), depending on benchmark.

It sucks that we're in such a bad place right now, but I'd probably bet money that there are going to be some big geoengineering startups in the next couple of years.
That same level-headedness and sense of responsibility can be a liability when it comes to startups. Most successful startups are insane when people first start working on them; if they weren't, someone would already have done them, and the market opportunity would be filled. (I had a Boston-based mentor who's already had two successful exits tell me once, "The only startups I've ever seen succeed are the ones where some engineer figured they could do something thought to be impossible.")

It's very hard to justify devoting years of your life to working on something believed to be impossible or a waste of time if you have a family to support, and a deep-seated belief in using your time productively.

Cost of land and rent prices. If we're talking about the people who work at startups, whose labor is among the most in demand in the world, they can basically choose to live wherever they want to. I know some of it is due to most employers being in urban areas etc etc, but I also think a lot of it is people wanting to be in those areas.

> Please interpret the word "Congress" to mean something other than the government. I'm not arguing what it should say, but what it does say. And what it does say is pretty clear.

That's neither here nor there. I wasn't making an originalist textual argument in my comment, but actually the opposite. The modern world, with such powerful "private" entities that can engage in censorship, doesn't map very well onto the world of the founders in many ways. Therefore, to preserve the original effect and intent of the First Amendment, the law perhaps needs to be modified.
This totally sounds like 'Manna' the book by the creator of HowStuffWorks.
This can actually be done, but only over the course of a few years, or the government will insist on their cut (or deny you benefits). I honestly don’t know why there aren’t riots over the state of healthcare (and elder care is the worst part) in the US. It’s not like this isn’t going to happen to all of us who aren’t lucky enough to die quickly.
They also had an advantage up until a few years ago by not collecting sales tax in most the country, so part of their margin advantage was due to that as well.
FastMail is amazing; there were a few hiccups early on with the native iOS productivity apps but its been smooth sailing for years now.

If you can, definitely try to run your own mail server for the experience but start of gradually, e.g. relay outbound email through an smtp service, and slowly add the different layers such as spam analysis, filtering, etc.

There are /so/ many layers to email these days that if you try to do it all at once you'll spend way too much time on just keeping the wheels from turning.

Where did I imply that I liked it or thought it was good and/or moral? I'm just saying that the incentives are not to vote for what's good for the nation when the alternative will make a lot of money for a lot of people in your state, some of whom will bankroll your election campaign.
Modularity helps cutting production costs, but that's just a lower bound. Prices are set based on marketing strategies and on how much the company is able to get for a product.
Just because they can do so and legally doesn't make it any less of a screwing.

I'm pretty sure you can legally ask them to pull out at any time, especially if contract terms have changed. They must have a cancellation procedure (that I'm sure is quick and easy /s).
We could study this, right? Simply ask soldiers what the their combat experience was like and also what they think about nations starting wars, and see if there's a relationship between how much they've been exposed to the "horrors of war" however you define it and how they feel about war in general.
Is it possible that you and I may be operating under different definitions of what it means for a system to be decentralized?

Their best option is to simply ask the foreign government to do something to their own citizens on its behalf because they have evidence of some sort of potential criminal activity. Quid pro quo ensues, no extradition needed.
The number of times I reinvented something due to lack of knowledge, assistance, training, or from being thrown into a tech stack I am unfamiliar with, etc. was quite maddening. I'm pretty sure that's how most CS courses are designed really, "Figure this out. Did you get? Great. That will never be useful because you can just do this now." Teaching people to think, blah blah.

We are currently in a weird place where, while compensation is growing, it's not growing fast enough to keep up with the rising property prices. There's been a huge surge to build luxury apartments in the downtown areas, but outside of that, available land is at a standstill and we are starting to see the same problem that SF has. Nothing is affordable anymore, and no one in the state/city government is really putting in an effort to slow things down.
I recommend (and already mentioned) journaling. In the journal, I visualize attaining the goal or write about ways to keep going.

Watch, listen or read stuff that motivates and uplifts you. And keep on doing it every day.

Try to motivate yourself every day and find what works. This quote sums up what motivation is, it is not something that is only done once:

"People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily."

> So who determines which companies have the rights to exclude others and which doesn't?

You misunderstand: I wasn't commenting on which companies have rights or not, but about which rights companies should have at all, and where their rights stand in relation to those held by individuals. Corporations are not natural persons, they're creatures animated by legislation and can be regulated by it or abolished entirely.
To me, the icons are far too abstract to mean anything. They all look like the results of someone playing around randomly in a 3D modeling tool. For example, look at the CloudFront icon. I'd expect something more evocative of clouds or similar, but it's just a cube that's been cut and exploded with the rear two subcubes removed.

That said, they're probably extremely easy to generate procedurally:

Ironically this is sort of why I supported the 'Bernie or Bust' movement, I felt in order for us to get a social democratic leader, we needed Trump to ruin things and push us more towards a dystopia. I'm in utah anyhow, so red state doesn't matter, but as a principle it still mattered to me.

Not trying to hijack and turn things political here, but it was just an observation. Sometimes you need some chaos to bring about change for the good...sometimes the thing we fear most is what we NEED to happen in order for those in power to pivot and change their ways.
