It's a workstation. The following people might make use of all that hardware:

* Game development engineer who needs to test games at all graphics settings;

* Digital artist who needs to rapidly iterate by creating draft renderings quickly before sending the model/scene to a render farm;

* Roboticist developing robotics algorithms that require lots of local data collected in the field that would be infeasible to upload to AWS;

* Physicist developing computational models which should be tested on smaller instance locally before sending off to a supercomputer.

Besides, if you're planning to use a machine for compute for more than several months, it becomes cost-efficient vs renting an AWS instance.
Well US is one kind and possible the only kind of nation on the planet that is polarise on every front.

It had some of the best medical technologies advancement, but also zero social health scare benefits and expensive that you can't afford it. It has some of the smartest people while also dumbest, they have some who are kind, quiet and hard working while others are rude, loud, and I may call them crazy.

Basically US is a nation of both heavens and hell. So focus on all the bad parts of US, some focus on all the good parts.
"But what does it actually do?"

It manipulates 1's and 0's at a rapid rate and high precision.

"If I need that much compute for a problem, doesn't renting the capacity on AWS make 100x more sense? There's no way I could actually make use of all that hardware"

It's probably not for you then, just like the AWS instance wouldn't make a lot of sense for some guy playing Crysis.
Probably not the best idea for the OP to post under their own name in a public forum.

I don't trust a paper whose authors are so invested in burying their ideas in pretentious vocabulary that they are forced to turn off their spellchecker and can't spell "xenophobic" consistently.

Also, the authors definition of "religion" is quite broad -- it's any belief that some unseen force affects the world. For example, "illegal immigrants" or "Russian bots" or any other "bogeyman" fit the authors; definition of a "supernatural" religious target
Granted, I'd rather you only take my speech than my physical freedom and my life. However, if society starts taking away practical freedom of speech, who is going to speak up? Why wouldn't the big companies and the government just pressure Google and Facebook to get everyone to shut up about it? This is why freedom of speech is foundational.
This is extremely facinating for those interested in global IP networks and I recommend expending the time to watch.

There is a lot of proposed infrastructure, but if carried out, it could offer lower latency than existing fiber networks.

Such a network truly brings human connectivity to another level. Previously inaccessible locations could have access to global networks at lower latencies than even fiber could provide. Very remarkable!
Mate just works,
> If you don't own a home, you pay rent, and rent increases over time.
Rent costs are directly tied to property values. Assuming rents will always increase is based off the same assumption
that property values will always increase as well.
This is a pretty blatant example of demonizing mischaracterisation via totally arbitrary metaphor. It's poison to conversations.
Korea has a different system where they don't pay rent, but they pay what's called jeonse (jun-sae). You pay about 33-50-60% the value of the property and live rent free for 2 years. At the end of the 2 years, you get your lump sum back.

The idea is that the landlord makes their money by investing the lump sum, though there seems to be risks where the landlord is unable the cough up the money at the end of the term and needs to find someone else to cough up jeonse money to pay back the original tenants.

Of course many tenants can't come up with 33% of a property, so they are also taking out a loan to come up with the money and making payments on that money to which essentially comes out to rent, but significantly cheaper.

It does seem that rent is becoming far more common in Korea now, so jeonse may be on its way out, but it is a different system, can't say that it's better or worse.
It's interesting that you jump to "aggressive regulation" or "rent control" instead of the solution that has close to full consensus from the economic profession: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_value_tax

Something I've been wondering about: Would it be a good or bad idea to tamp down on the whole concept of housing as an investment?

It seems fundamentally problematic, but is there any alternative workable system that wouldn't have unintended consequences?
David Foster Wallace's imitation of Pynchon strikes again! Wallace's complains about tourists made the rounds on HN last week.
Ok "affinity" it's how strongly it would bind to a receptor.

Then there is agonism or antagonism which can be partial or full.

Full agonism is the "strongest" activation that doesn't have anything to do with affinity because it just means it fully activates the receptor, the affinity is how likely it will be bound to the receptors.

For opioids that are full agonists potency and affinity can be used essentially interchangeably these are all primary pain relief opioids and fully bind to the receptors in the same manner essentially, opioids which are mixed agonists or even antagonists such as those used to treat addiction or withdrawal can have very high affinity but low potency because while they bind to the receptor very strongly they don't fully activate it or even deactivate it but as their affinity is high they can beat other opioids to the binding and block the receptors.

As this drug is a replacement for fentanyl it's a full agonist opioid which means that if it's more potent it has to have a lower Ki value which means higher affinity at a matching ratio.
If you’re single or a couple with no dependents who doesn’t mind moving every now and then, renting isn’t so bad. You avoid the risk of dealing with damage to the structure, fixing things, labor markets being disrupted (like factory towns or smaller towns everywhere in the US). Take all that saved up money and put it in a low cost index fund, you very well might come ahead, and be liquid when you need to move because the jobs disappeared. And rents definitely don’t always go up.
No you aren't. You don't get to decide what the other person's argument is and then rail against that. It's a pretty fundamental rule of reasonably civil discourse. I'm sure you've seen dang berate people about this but in case you haven't:

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. I want my children to be able to afford to live near me if they want. I own a house and would gladly relinquish my ability to sell it at a profit if it meant keeping prices affordable for young folks. I’m not sure what the real solution is, though.
If you take the riffraff from the pub and inject them into the library, you're going to have a bad time.

According to Kevin Creehan, his grandson, Irish fiddler Junior Creehan was always amazed that Irish Traditional music became a thing for pubs. To him, it had started out as thoughtful people gathered around in their kitchens playing music together. I can attest that a trad session can be a contemplative and even a bit trance-like.
>Tolerance is to live and let live.

This is one reading of tolerance, but there are multiple (as expounded by Popper and Marcuse too, for instance). I don't think considering an idea badly because it's used as fuel is a good thing. A quick counterexample to the idea that tolerance means to allow anything and everything is that if I were to tell you I tolerate your presence, but you begin to make annoying sounds continuously, my tolerance would quickly change to intolerance.

Tolerance is a democratic principle, since it relies on the idea that nobody has an absolute claim on the truth, but as critical theorists as early as the 60s pointed out, this democratic idea depends on an informed populace to distinguish ideas as they are - to that end, in society we don't tolerate some views, such as the teaching of creationism in schools.

A good essay on this is Marcuse's "Repressive Tolerance". Regarding your mention of Orwell, Marcuse made another interesting point; nowadays, the contradiction is hidden within the noun itself, rather than "war is peace", the word "freedom" itself, understood in the context of its ideological use by various proponents (particularly on the libertarian right, I've noticed) already contains the contradiction; the idea it represents is contradictory. Similarly with misleading names and terms.

I do not want to live in a society in which tolerance is absolute, and I doubt many people would.
What is "the narrative"?
If speech therefore has negative value, capitalism has the imperative to censor or prevent that speech from occurring.

False. There is a lawsuit where a company owned this mining company town, including all of its roads and sidewalks. A Jehova's witness won a lawsuit on the basis of the First Amendment, enabling her to walk about that town and distribute her pamphlets.

Originally, it was widely recognized by US jurisprudence, though property rights and freedom of association are important, the First Amendment was even more important.
> I'm sure that you can find a Soviet study indicating that certain of their programs had an effect against Bourgeois oppressor thinking and activity for some number of years.

Again, no gulags here. Just Twitter, Reddit, and bad clones of the aforementioned. It's also worth noting that the Soviet Union, at its best, simply was not a liberal democracy. The position that I'm taking is nonsensical outside of a liberal democratic context, so comparing it with various inhumanities under a non-democracy is unconvincing at best.

> Conditioning a society to accept the practically suppression of free speech fundamentally conflicts with the notion of liberal democracy.

We're talking about the scope and structure of liberal democracy itself, a discussion that's been going on for as long as liberal democracies have existed (others have brought up Popper, but Popper cribbed the idea from Immanuel Kant). There's no conditioning going on.
This is part of the regressiveness of the US tax code. That’s a $40,000 transfer of wealth from those who cannot afford to own rental properties to those who can.

Not that I blame your friend for taking the tax break, I would too. It’s very hard to convince people to forgo benefits like that for the sake of society.
I worked for a prominent hedge fund (20B USD AUM at the time) for 9 years and never first hand witnessed any excesses.

There was always the third hand accounts of something happening. I did work in backoffice IT and not for one of the desks, so not odd I wouldn't have seen anything firsthand.

Probably closest I saw to show of wealth would be the rare occasions I drove in and parked in the building. You'd see a few Ferraris parked even in the middle of winter in Chicago, and that's not counting the CEOs cars that were kept behind a keycarded garage within the garage.
> If you don't own a home, you pay rent, and rent increases over time.

That's not necessarily true. I live in Japan. While the price of land may raise, the price of houses only goes down. As for rent, it looks flat.
People commenting on something does not make it 'on topic'. I'm guessing people flagged this because it's the Nth iteration of the same discussion which, by this point, is quite repetitive and tedious. It's a dupe.

In any event, I'm not really all that into discussing the details of flagging with you - they're not important although I understand you're annoyed this got flagged. Your 'update' header doesn't really make sense - you want user actions to serve as indication of the quality of your piece - 'rapid rise', lively discussion, whatnot. But user actions you don't like are 'ironic' and deplatforming. Can't have it both ways.
> ...but open source hardware it is not... and the claim about it being manufactured in Colorado seems a bit specious. Maybe they're milling the cases in Colorado and installing the parts? The real parts that do the computer part seem to be the same as the real parts in any PC.

They tell you exactly what they mean in that paragraph:

> US-sourced wood and aluminum are formed, finished, etched, and built by artisans in our Denver, Colorado factory. Premium components from around the world are then assembled to your final specifications. And to offset environmental impact, every Thelio sold plants a tree with the National Forest Foundation.

So yes, they make the case in the US and assemble the parts in the US.
But can't you also just sell the 7 years worth of equity you've built up over the start of a 30 mortgage almost as well?

I will concede that the downside risk is higher with the (initially) higher priced property.
Difference is the built in tax advantages in RE.

I have both android and ios devices. Android is far superior for file management. Ios is a joke in that regard. Folders weren't broken but somehow ios managed to break them. Now if I want to save a random file on my ipad I have to choose a directory related to some unrelated app!? Why can't I just create a directory like I do on every other device I own?
Huh, I recall seeing an article at one point (can't find the link) where it said or suggested that ML was involved. Of course this could have just been a journalist failing to make the distinction; I've seen everything from linear regression on up naively lumped into the ML bucket.

In any case the results are damned impressive -- can't say I've seen anything like it before.
There's no conditioning going on.

The general population that grew up online in web forums is very much conditioned to accept totalitarian dictates about who can say what, where. Even to the point where they concoct ideology about it.

a discussion that's been going on for as long as liberal democracies have existed

The US government coming in and telling a private entity, no you must tolerate free speech on your property is historical fact and precedent.

There is a lawsuit where a company owned this mining company town, including all of its roads and sidewalks. A Jehova's witness won a lawsuit on the basis of the First Amendment, enabling her to walk about that town and distribute her pamphlets.

You don't have to restrict access behind an email to improve signup rates.

Have a simple landing page asking for an email address when someone first visits, but provide a way to bypass it if they don't want to give it out.

A simple direct ask up front is more effective than having lots of distractions on a page.
I don't understand your point at all. It seems to boil down to: "Something can be a good investment while simultaneously increasing in value at the rate of inflation if someone gives you free money to hold it."

Everything is a good investment if you pay nearly zero interest and its value goes up. It's a tautology, and it has no bearing on practical solutions to this problem.
This is awesome thanks!!
It would be a good idea. 2008 went a long way towards disabusing a lot of folks of the notion that buying property is always a good investment.

But given the way my mom still talks up real estate there's probably some more room for tamping down.
I don't think considering an idea badly because it's used as fuel is a good thing.

An idea that demolishes a foundation idea by melding it with its opposite is a very insidiously bad thing.

"War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength."
As much as Popper and Sartre (and the other left intellectuals) were diametrically opposed, they seemed to have found some agreement on this issue; here's a nice quote, using Sartre's example of anti-semitism:

>“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”
It’s weird how I’ve managed to write so much reliable, production code at my work without “sum types” and “real generics”. Man, all those people who wrote OS kernels in C or mobile apps for iOS in Objective-C need to just throw away their work - it’s all garbage written in non-real programming languages.
Housing is a good investment for natural reasons: as population increases, housing near developed communities becomes scarcer.

To tamp down on that concept would be really difficult. You'd probably have to artificially limit the ROI of home sales, which would likely increase the number of renters. Then what? Rent goes up, so you have to artificially limit the price of rent. So how do you choose the limit?

Then once you've chosen the rent limit, will RE firms have an incentive to build?

Free markets work pretty well for settle prices. The problem is that not everyone can participate equally. If we artificially brought people out of poverty instead of artificially fixing housing markets, the housing problem would be a lot less severe.
Live frugally and retire early
Your friend will have to repay those taxes when he sells (assuming there is profit above the then-depreciated value). Seems like a lot of people don't know this.

Yes it is true that the tax rate is capped at 25% (which is sometimes less than the normal marginal federal rate you would pay) and there are ways to defer the tax bill further but it's not just like free money that the government gives up on collecting from you.
I'm pretty clear about what is the other person's idea, and what other ideas that idea is parallel to. In that case, I'm not misstating the other person's argument. I'm clarifying the idea's implications.
The CIA put their top-secret info on the public Internet, because password-protecting it was too inconvenient. Then adversaries found the info. US intelligence services treating foreign informants as expendable, as always. Also seen when US abandoned Afghan translators to be killed by Taliban.

The instant someone signs a mortgage it becomes in their (cynical) economic best interest to try to keep others from being able to do the same.

The only solution I see is state level zoning standardization around pro-density zoning and limitations on NIMBY power.
His personal aesthetic care mantra has been repeated, unironically, all the time amongst some people I no longer hang out with. It's the "Gym Tan Laundry" (GTL from Jersey Shore) of its day.
The solution is to get rid of zoning laws. Baring some breakthrough in public choice theory allowing us to break out of this mess, I predict we are stuck with this until the robots take over.
> Most successful deplatformings are Pyrrhic victories

Big fat citation needed on this. You speculate as to how they may become pyrrhic victories, but it's far from concluded that this will be the case. Previous deplatformings (Milo, Alex Jones) haven't produced any visible negative consequences for the platforms. There's little reason to think this will either. Surprisingly few people care if a den of hate speech has trouble finding a DNS registrar. Especially, surprisingly few important DNS registrar customers care.

The small one only has 2 DIMM slots, hence a limit of 32GB (which has a base price of $1k). The more expensive ones you just mentioned have a maximum of 128GB and 768GB.

Am I reading you correctly? You found a 2,900 sqft property in the bay area, 9 years ago, for 129k? Or is there a zero missing, and you meant to write 1.29M?

Because if it was really 129k, that's a factor of ~20 times cheaper per square foot than current residential real estate around Cambridge, MA right now.[1]

People choose to buy in neighborhoods they like (if they have a choice). It doesn’t make them cynical schemers if they then don’t want the neighborhood to change.
I was surprised to learn that MongoDB can have multiple of the same key in the same document. So you might have a "map" that looks like this:

{"a": 1, "a": 2, "b": 3}

"a" maps to 2 different values in this case. Depending on how your languages driver works it's often difficult to see this is happening. In some languages you'll get "a" mapped to 1, and other languages will show "a" mapped to 2.
Yeah. It's a nice change from anything out there that isn't a fully custom build. Black, beige, white, gray boxes, often with lots of LEDs or plexiglass windows.
We did that with the American dream of suburban home ownership, which broke the bad old landlords and tenements.

Prices are wacky because the market is wacky. We subsidize loans, subsidize unprofitable commercial property via taxes, restrict supply of higher density housing and set a price floor for housing with subsidy programs like section 8.
I want you to cite the part where it is widely recognized by US jurisprudence, because we've seen similar cases arise (see: Cyber Promotions vs AoL) where it was argued that a company does not have freedom of speech rights to send unsolicited emails to another company's users.

Additionally you make a large mistake in assuming that a company using the government to censor someone is the same as the company itself censoring someone. If we were to take your argument to its logical conclusion and apply that ruling to individuals, I would not have the right to tell people to leave my property. If they stuck a sign in my lawn, I would not be allowed to remove it lest I am censoring them.
