This is a great idea, good luck with it!

A few small suggestions:

1) Often times, I find myself in a car or in an area with heavily limited internet (i.e., the subway). I think it would be beneficial to allow a "listen to the audio only mode", reducing bandwidth and/or ensuring I keep focusing on the drive (maybe like a "team podcast" :-) )

2) In a similar vein, speech could be converted to text to make it searchable. When I worked in a fully remote team, we had meetings where someone said something that turned out to be important later on. Sadly, looking through months of meeting footage is not something anyone of us wanted to do, speech-to-text could be handy here.
That's more an issue of how US society is presently structured.

Money (spent) IS speech.

Want to speak more or louder? Spend more money.

True, community efforts to agree socially on something also matter, but it takes much more social capital than it does cash capital to affect such changes.
Actually, you can copyright facts, or more specifically a work produced via a significant effort to compile facts:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_in_compilation

This is precisely why mapmakers introduce deliberate errors, so they can prove that a plagiarizer produced a copycat atlas not by recompiling from the basic facts, but rather used the compilation as a starting point.
You have a mandatory insurance provided by private companies in Switzerland and the prices of services outside of your insurance as well as the one billed and covered by insurance are still reasonable.

There is something else which makes American system not working. I suspect high barrier to entry, huge lawsuit risk and heavy regulation for entering the market. If there is no real competition to provide cheaper services it's no wonder existing players charge ridiculous amounts.

Maybe this applies in normal markets, but in Puerto Rico the grid is both shit-tier reliability and horribly expensive. Rooftop solar and lithium batteries in an off-grid format are both far more reliable and far cheaper than the grid, assuming a 5% cost of capital. I might throw in some LP or diesel generation capacity too, but solar plus battery is an easy choice.

$AAPL needs to be $207.0425 to be $1T company
I think there's three big reasons.

Reason #1: Apple has 243.7B in cash right now. That'll already push them to nearly Samsung's valuation.

Reason #2: Samsung's business is more vulnerable. Most of their profits came from the chips division:

https://money.cnn.com/2017/07/27/technology/samsung-profit-a...

Samsung sells components to many companies, including Apple. In fact, Samsung makes more money from iPhone than they do from the Galaxy S8:

https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2017/10/2/16404430/s...

As an OEM, Samsung has a much more vulnerable moat. What happens when Apple starts to make those components on their own? They already started doing it with processors. What about memory? They buy a ton of memory from Samsung.

Reason #3: reality distortion field :)
This is a fantastic explanation of the differences with really good analogies. Thanks.
I'd wager that somewhere in their organizational past is a burned down building and an appliance connected to the mains with a wire hanger, at which point they decided that nothing is so fool-proof that a sufficient fool cannot be found.
G was just a shortform to bundle commen extentions, it was never defined by the foundation as 'the base ISA for linux'. That was just what the first released version of RISC-V spec had in it.

I would assume that the V,B,J and possibly P extentions will all end up in the most used linux profile.

However I think the RV64GC will still be the relevant fallback that most distros will over to cover a very large range of chips.
LineageOS Summer Survey 2
Well, the tools are free and open source, and other pretrained models are available for download. All that’s missing is an expensive PhD or two to make sense of it all, so that option is also available. You can do ML/DL on Google Cloud too in a completely portable way, using, for instance, Facebook’s PyTorch and pretrained models for it. You will discover, however, that it’s much harder and much more expensive to get anything usable that way, without Google doing most of the yak shaving for you, even though PyTorch is much easier to use than TF.
> Apple doesn't make money to support governments.

Sure, but governments do support Apple and its employees.
That’s debatable. There are a number of ways to calculate GDP. One is the sum of value added, as in the value of the end product minus the value of input. Another is the total sum of income from labor and assets. Since it includes time spent it is not really net profit but it’s not turnover either. It’s some hybrid but, I would say it is closer to net profit.
remember the guy who gave up his Apple founding stock?
The most impressive part of Apple getting to a $1T valuation is that they did it with a P/E ratio of about 20.

I would like to see Amazon attempt that.

Replacing means that Apple doesn't innovate further.

RTT is much higher now for me than it was in 2002. Back then we had a T-1 from UUNet that gave us 29ms RTT to major web properties hosted in the Bay Area. Today our connection from CableCo has 200X the download throughput but RTT to major properties (even with a supposedly GeoAware CDN) is around 100ms.
Well, with the SDK, you can build your own gimbal and control the camera's shutter... which I guess is the point of releasing the SDK in the first place - let users make neat stuff that Pentax won't/can't make itself.

Apple reaches $1B,000 value
It’s more about how likely those profits are to continue in the eyes of the market, not what they currently are.
In this case, you’re comparing a company with a massive consumer moat (and massive cash reserves to defend it), where people will continue to buy the iPhone regardless of the suppliers Apple uses, versus a company largely without such a moat. Not saying it’s correct, but I am guessing the brand and moat it provides is a large part of the difference in valuations.

To find the units in a drink you multiply the ABV by the serving size in litres.

One 200 ml glass of wine at 13% ABV would be 2.6 units.

One 330ml bottle of beer at 5% ABV is 1.65 units.

Most people struggle to estimate how many units of alcohol they drink. The "one unit == one drink" thing comes from when units were introduced, when a glass of wine would be 125 ml and it would only be 8%. Those days are long gone.

AAPL allowed us a period of cost-free unemployment for six months. This was back in the days when the stock was more go-go than it is even now. Wife and I had a period of about six months between jobs, and we had a lot of AAPL. We lived off the gains (and probably a call contract or two), and by the time we both had jobs again, we had more than we started with.

> Even putting aside the many methods to understand what a neural network is doing without running it

Name three :).

> neural networks are well tested instruments. That's how they learn-- by testing themselves.

Last I checked, neural networks are well-tested in a sense that if you throw a big database and a shit ton of compute at them, they'll learn to accurately work within that database. Step out of it, and all bets are off. We're better at this than we were 30 years ago - good enough to apply this technology to consumer-level products in which mistakes don't really matter. I'd be wary of applying even current neural networks to safety-critical tasks.

> Obviously it's possible for a neural network to have odd behavior in circumstances not accounted for but that was always going to be possible at the level of complexity we're talking about here.

The problem is that with NNs, the odd behavior is usually totally unexpected, and you can't really inspect the network beforehand to discover the possible ranges of error-generating inputs. Everything works fine but every now and then you get a patterned sofa classified as a zebra, or a car + little noise classified as a toaster. And then there's no obvious relation between multiple misclassifications, because the reasoning structure of the neural network is implicitly encoded in its weights.

> The same factors would apply to any codebase of this complexity.

I think there's a fundamental qualitative difference here. A codebase can be complex, but ultimately it has a structure, and usually (in case of ML) represents a well-understood mathematical structure. Neural networks have simple code, and the whole complexity is hidden in opaque matrices of numbers, where even single changes usually have global effects.

I'm not trying to dismiss NNs in general; I just don't trust them in applications where health and safety is at stake.
The fed’s net worth quantiles are all positive. It’s depressing to learn that I came from the bottom of the bottom tier. Income was median, but my dad bought (mortgaged) an ‘unbuildable’ foreclosed lot and we built a house as a family activity in a rich town. I never knew the difference, didn’t even notice the fancy clothes and expensive cars. I still don’t know what wealth is supposed to feel like, nor do I care. I have zero interest in restaurants and luxury travel. The more free I am with purchases, the more bullshit accumulates in my life that I never use. If I had to choose objectively based on experience, I’d probably stick with being poor. The best was zero money and possessions as a vagabond because I was forced to be social to survive. But I’m not throwing it away just yet, because that next level of wealth is supposed to be oh so much better. Can’t wait for the disappointment on that one.
I think many can agree that there is another level: where money is as abundant as air and dropping $50k is like taking a deep breath.

I'm not sure if you get this but the issue is not about someone getting married to get lower taxes(even though that would be illegal just like married someone to get permanent residency is illegal).
