I'm a fellow GE developer working under one of the businesses, and I agree with what you've said here.

The team I work on was never sold on the benefits of the platform, but we were told to use it. Arbitrary targets like "get 150 apps to run on Predix" were set, but because there were no clear advantages to doing so, these targets were internally de-prioritized compared to working on features. They spun the numbers to give the appearance of momentum, but over time people talked about the platform less and less, and it became obvious that the emperor had no clothes.

GE has pockets of good developers; the grassroots culture that you mention is evidence of that. I'm hopeful that Flannery's renewed interest in the business verticals will enable those developers to focus their effort in places that actually deliver value, instead of wasting it on grand top-down initiatives to become some kind of industrial AWS. The sooner that happens, the sooner the company will get out of the miserable slump that it's been in.

I'll acknowledge that harm and poison require a reference for where the harm is done, but I don't think it requires human interaction necessarily.

We are able talk about harm being done to insect populations or coastlines or any other inanimate objects. Again, humans, and their politics, aren't necessary.

To be cynical regarding that link, there are 2 separate facts presented but not a good explanation of why the two are related.

1) A chinese electricity company began collecting wireless sensor data in 2014

2) In April 2018 their profits were up $315M

Did they begin doing more business? Did their competition remain the same? Are they subsidized by the government somehow?

So many reasons why a utility company could be more profitable, they should explain the connection between the monitoring and profitability, otherwise someone can probably show you evidence that switching brands of office coffee increase profitability 200%.
"Well, perhaps no systems are attainable, but the search for a system is very interesting."

This is the heart of so many things that do not have easy answers, especially philosophy. I see the field dismissed frequently as an exercise in the generation of hot air, but there is so much value to be had in the act of the search, even if the destination is unclear, or even unreachable. The process of description is simultaneously a process of understanding, and while the ongoing philosophical dialectic may not find an answer, it has presented so many ways to possibly represent things such that the answer becomes apparent. Or at the very least, such that it is apparent that some given system cannot contain the answer. These systems of logic, of discovery, then become models useful for all kinds of pragmatic thinking, or if nothing else stand as monuments to the limits of our understanding, and possibly to our ability to understand.

Borges says he's not a thinker in the interview. But I dunno, even if his influences are clear, his ability to understand, and then convey these ideas in such a way as to make them self-evident is in some ways the greater act of philosophy than the raw conception of the ideas.

What a phenomenal interview.
It's really your problem not theirs. It would cost very little for the IRS to do this and — if you're in the simple case where the IRS already has all your info — make filling your taxes as complicated as clicking "OK" on the IRS's website. And even if you're not in the trivial case where that suffices, it would save the aggregated taxpayers ungodly amounts of time and frustration.

That's basically how it works in many european countries. Filling is finding 10mn to log in the tax service's website, verifying that nothing looks out of whack and validating.

Likely, he wouldn't. The window in which the universe was roughly room temperature is very narrow in astronomical terms, so even if life did form during that period, it probably would not have been able to form even animal life, much less intelligent life.
No, I don't feel that way. I solve complicated problems because I need to earn a living, not because it gives purpose to my life.

If I was feeling that way and was having trouble dealing with it, I'd probably try figure out some other way to earn a living.
Just so we're clear: exercise is moderately better than doing nothing unless you only include good studies, when even that modest benefit disappears.

Exercise as a treatment for depression does nothing for most people, and has only a tiny effect for the rest.
> that's it, i think. the idea is to have a bank that is rock solid (even when compared to other banks) and profitable for customers. maybe only offer one type of account, and have no minimum deposit. no fees, and offer ATM cost refunds. no personal loans. no credit cards. maybe offer a mortgage package, but probably not. no branches, obviously. customer service would be top priority.

You're basically describing Fidelity to some degree. Their . cash management product basically has all of those features. They do offer a credit card, but word is they lose money on it to capture brokerage business.

The issue is all of that is subsidized by brokerage clients, where the fee structure is still reasonable depending on what you're doing, but still mixes retail and investment banking, which I take as an implied no-no in this thread?
Much of our terrestrial pollution took place in "uninhabited areas" which decades later became inhabited. Your comment is reminiscent of 19th and early 20th century attitudes toward pollution.

Not OP, but I'm a former academic still doing research, and I appreciate peer review as gatekeeper. When I was younger, I wrote a lot of garbage on a blog that I wish had been better filtered. Worst case, if I publish a paper and it turns out to be garbage, I can pin the blame on the journal.

I find it especially important if the paper has any danger of being perceived as crackpot material. For example, my paper "A type of simulation which some experimental evidence suggests we don't live in" [1], recently featured on the HN frontpage, took years to prepare and finally publish, even though it's literally less than one page in the journal. With something as 'pop' as whether we live in a simulation, I wanted to be sure what I wasn't just deceiving myself or something.

I used to pay my very old landlord with personal checks for a chase account. At some point somebody, (I suspect the part time janitor) got my account number and tried to commit check fraud nearby. This was unsophisticated, an inkjet printer sort of attempt, but nevertheless forced me to close the account, get new numbers, and update all of my direct deposit and bill pay settings on other accounts. It cost me many hours and at least one late fee.

So the obvious feature I would like from a regular, boring checking account is one-time random numbers for everything. Every check should have a unique, completely opaque number. Every time anyone wants an account number for direct deposit, wire transfer, bill pay, or anything else, I should be able to instantly generate a new, disposable number that works until I chose to retire it.

Here in the Netherlands, and I think also in other places in Europe, 130 km/h is the normal highway speed limit, though in places it's at 120 or 100 instead. This was raised from some time ago, when the normal maximum was 120 instead of 130.

So it seems that 130 km/h (81 mph) is not all that excessive.
It seems that the word literally is literally never used in its literal sense.
That's unfortunate. I suspect it's a supply-and-demand thing: SF probably has more residents per capita who want to buy from farmers' markets than anywhere else in the country, and so prices rise accordingly. That definitely isn't the case in most places though (not even Seattle), so I stand by my advice for everyone else.

I feel worse for the people whose actual, involuntary problems they are trivializing by presenting (true or not) their situation as a "lifestyle choice".

If it helps, some other comments in this thread indicate that there's no need to file a tax return on yearly income under ~$10,000 so this person and others in their situation would likely qualify.

I don't think the IRS should give amnesty for past willful nonpayment in light of present circumstances though. We have a different mechanism for that; it's called bankruptcy.

According to Wikipedia:

“In 2012, physicist Harold White and collaborators announced that modifying the geometry of exotic matter could reduce the mass–energy requirements for a macroscopic space ship from the equivalent of the planet Jupiter to that of the Voyager 1 spacecraft (~700 kg) or less, and stated their intent to perform small-scale experiments in constructing warp fields. White proposed changing the shape of the warp bubble from a sphere to a torus. Furthermore, if the intensity of the space warp can be oscillated over time, the energy required is reduced even more.”

Grover Norquist tries to stop measures like this because he absolutely hates the very concept of taxation and has made it his life's work to make taxes as painful as possible so others will as well. There is nothing benevolent to Grover Norquist, the man is an intellectual terrorist trying to make countries fail entirely.
It is a straightforward answer:

This is because the IRS would make less money. It is like a poker game. Their number can only be smaller than yours. If you go under their number they penalize you. If you go over their number they keep the difference.
Taking the following steps should help:

1. If you imagine the knowledge in your field as mountains (like the Rocky Mountains, or the Alps), then you need to describe very clearly where exactly your contribution is located. Which summit do you elevate further? What are the neighborhood summits (alternatives to your solution)? Pointing this out in the introduction shows the reader that you are part of the community. It doesn't matter then that you have no formal academic position.

2. Choose the venue wisely. There are two factors to consider: a) it makes sense to publish where the work you build on and/or compete with was already published. You know these venues if you have done step 1. Some authors of your 'neighborhood' papers will probably be your reviewers. b) if you think that you have a significant contribution, select a tier-1 venue to maximize impact; if you think you have a minor contribution, it makes more sense to go for tier 2. Seek advice by a researcher in your field which journals and/or conferences in your field belong to which tier, and ask them for their opinion which venue would be suitable.

3. When you have chosen your preferred journal/conference, identify the 10 most-cited papers from the past 5 years, and carefully analyze their structure and the used methods. Use them as role models for your own paper, together with your 'neighborhood' papers from step 1.

4. Your paper will likely be rejected initially. Read the reviews carefully. Some reviewers are crappy and just "don't like" your work, but many reviewers raise helpful and constructive points. And even the crappy reviews give you hints on how the community works, so you can revise your paper and try again somewhere else (or the next year, for a conference). Don't give up quickly, but also expect that you will have to invest significant effort on improvements.

My experience is about publishing in CS, not sure if my suggestions would also apply to other sciences.
You do realize all those things COST banks money in the past right?

some 30+ years ago, when banks were on COBOL mostly, the system analysts would try to lower costs because you couldn't charge a fee, and if you didn't provide services that cost the bank money, the clients would move to your competition.

In that time, banks had the concept of Client Acquisition Cost. Today banks uses fee for everything and everyone is ok with that, so they now have the concept of Recurring Fee Profit Per Customer. If you don't pay many fees, they treat you like garbage.

So yes, it is very possible to make a profit by not only having those things but having that without fees. You will just have a harder time getting institutional investors because now they will only ever invest in predatory banks because they provide a return much faster.

And some will even go as far as basing it off of the demographics of the driver. We would never tolerate a speed limit that allows difference races to go different max speeds, but allowing selective enforcement by cops enables any cop to do this.
