Don't discount the alternative possibility of an opponent buying followers. Someone pulled that on Roy Moore:

> It involved a scheme to link the Moore campaign to thousands of Russian accounts that suddenly began following the Republican candidate on Twitter, a development that drew national media attention.

> “We orchestrated an elaborate ‘false flag’ operation that planted the idea that the Moore campaign was amplified on social media by a Russian botnet,” the report says.

"There are companies with heavy non-native English speaking populations, for whom it be a greater cognitive load to constrain themselves to prose, whereas they might be good at explaining things pictorially interpersed with terse text."

I don't think giving a full, narrative structured presentation beyond the capacity of a non-native speaker given effort. While certainly other communication-approaches exist in other cultures - as well as in our own, I don't think one can really say full narrative structure is Western specific.

Moreover, I'd say the intent of asking for a narrative argument is to require a significant cognitive load from anyone putting out an idea. You definitely don't get a "brainstorming" effect, where lots of idea appear at once, from requiring a full narrative description.

"Sometimes distillation and condensation can lead to more precise thinking too."

Indeed. But the principle is a well written long-form narrative consists of a sequence of precise, condensed statements and not merely blathering on.

It might seem unfair to ask non-native speaker to reach a level of long and precise utterances. But currently, American education is poor enough that writing a coherent narrative document would be quite hard for a fair portion of Americans.
NYS likes personal income tax. 25,000 high-paid employees who aren't in financial services yield revenue and diversification. NYC likes property tax. Raising property values in Queens makes the city significant amount of revenue.

Dropping it in Queens maximizes benefit to NY, as you're less likely to lose households to New Jersey or Connecticut.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this whole National Enquirer event that was the straw that broke the camels back. Between AOC, all of these protests and then this insane blackmail event, Amazon leadership may have achieved “Fuck NYC” levels of agitation.
> "Domestic servitude" is a poor way to present homemaking

It is when you are absolutely economically dependent on the outside of the home work, from which you are functionally excluded, of a partner for survival, when even searching for an alternative in the same line is grounds for termination without support, and where the one on whom you are dependent has a legal right to use you sexually without consent (criminalization of marital rape in the US began in the mid-1970s after the mass entry of women into the workforce)? I think “domestic servitude” is an overly positive euphemistic description of the condition women were generally trapped in before their out-of-the-home work became normalized.

Just follow people you personally know.
If the experiment was committed by people with an agenda to show UBI doesn't work (or even by people who were neutral on the idea and genuinely interested in its net impact) they'd have picked a random sample of people to pay $8K per year to whilst increasing their personal taxes by a substantially larger amount, in order to make transfer payments across the whole programme net to zero. Suspect that cohort's impressions of the programme would have been less positive...
For now. Spotify has removed so many useful features from their desktop app over the years, I won't be surprised in the slightest when they remove the ability to listen to local files.
>Pandora and Google Play Music ... put ads in the audio stream

Why would you want to encourage Spotify to adopt this horrible practice? I don't WANT ads injected into the audio.
Yes, but one of these things is increasing freedom, and the other is restricting it. In an ideal world, homeowners would be able to rent their place son AirBnB, and we'd have enough housing for everyone. The reason we can't live in that world is exclusionary zoning.
I wish there was an option to pay a per-day rate. I like Spotify for what it does (it would be nice if I could purchase the CD of the music I listen to - alas), but there are times when I go for days or weeks without listening to it.

I'm still debating on if I want to spend $10.00 a month on something I may not use often enough to justify it? For now, in the spirit of everything, and to not be blocked, I turned off my ad-blocker. I can deal with it for now.

One thing I think about that is analogous is the fact that every month I donate $5.00 to my local NPR station - but I haven't listened to it in months! But - those are tax deductible (or at least once were? I'm not sure how it works now this tax year), and I do like the station, but I can only take so much of it at a time.

Maybe if Spotify weren't a paid service, and instead were "listener supported" with tax deductible donations - I could more readily get behind it...?

Ten dollars a month isn't that much, sure - it's something I need to think about more (it would be nice if there were an easy way to track when you use Spotify and for how long; that could help me too).

I always thought the high prices in the US was because of not having universal healthcare - when you are buying for millions of people, you can have lower prices? It's not like the US is the only country that regulates drugs?
There's actually a decent-sized group of people in queens that oppose Amazon moving in. Anecdotally I've known some people in queens who've had rents raised mid-lease and more that are looking for new places to move to. There's also concern about what's going to happen to the public housing in LIC.

As an aside, regulation is necessary, the trick is finding a balance. Regulation is very necessary, it's why if someone has wronged you, you're able to take them to court. It's why your medicine is likely to actually be what you purchased and reasonably effective (look at historic curealls for the alternatives) and why fires are relatively small nowadays (ie a house or two are burning down, not the whole district or city. Regulation has probably added 20 years to the average life. On a semi-related note, http://confreaks.tv/videos/devopsdaysnyc2018-the-history-of-... is extremely worth watching.

My cofounder/CEO used to work for Jeff Bezos as a GM and the most valuable lesson he imparted to us is the six pager. Before a high-level meeting begins, everyone grabs a red pen and reads/annotates the six-pager for 20 minutes. The discussion that follows is between informed participants, and has more structure. It is a highly effective technique for decision making, and a practice I would certainly carry forth to whatever I work on in the future.
This also works as a mechanims for two other benefits besides conveying quality information. The written narative benefits the writer as an excellent way to shape ideas in to coherent arguments and conclusions. Its useful to the team for forcing explicit consideration and decisions.

Significant parts of the Wisconsin Foxconn deal were structured that way (such as development of infrastructure, etc).

> Thx - but yes, it's really Chrome and Gentoo (my distro) downloads of course Chrome's blob => weird that I have this problem, isn't it?

Chances are that it's not that weird. If you have enough memory I recommend building Chromium from source. There's probably some library somewhere which is behaving in a way which packaged Chrome isn't fond of (and it seems like maybe the maintainer of the chrome binary package you're using needs to update it in some way).

(Aside: funny enough, Chrome OS is Gentoo-based IIRC.)
Ditto for me. I don't mind the insulin pens or the blood tests - it is the constant monitoring / science experiment aspect of all this that is exhausting. Even if I had a phone app that graphed my levels for the past 24 hours, counted carbs for me, and calculated insulin doses, I'd still find it all irritating and would slack off on the 24 hr a day 'mindfulness' it takes.

Even then, I am still going to die earlier than a non-diabetic. So why should I kill myself for 50 years going to the n-th degree when n-1 or n-2 is ok enough? That is my justification for keeping h1bc below 8 or 9, never mind below 7.

All the effort into projects like tech for snorting insulin is just surface stuff, much like all the glitz in the IT world that accomplishes superficial stuff (but takes lots of VC money). I am reminded of the CueCat... 30 years ago, they said there'd be a cure by now. I am still waiting and am going to die before it ever happens. Snortable insulin is sexy, but not that useful in the grand scheme of things.

#2 shouldn't be a hard and fast rule, especially, with respect to textbooks and, especially, when it comes to subjects like math. A student rating a phenomenal book 2 stars because "...it was assigned and we had to buy our book. But the book is too hard to understand, explains jack shit and totally worthless. I give it two stars only because I bought it at 1/4 the price on sale, otherwise this book barely deserves 1/2 star at most. Believe me, I am not dumb - I sometimes even read straight out the textbook." is not rare.

I read comments only after I'm done with the book.
I’ve personally rolled out a Freshworks implementation, and am quite happy with their products.

> There are plenty of UBI proposals out there that are not universal (you don't get it once you hit a certain income threshold)

Means-tested programs like that are, by definition, not unconditional basic income. So there are no UBI proposals that do that, since a proposal that does that is not UBI.

> and that don't replace other welfare programs.

It's unusual for a UBI proposal not to replace other means-tested benefit programs (though it may not do so immediately absolutely; my preferred implementation would, e.g., merely count as income against other programs qualifications and only shutter each of them completely when the UBI floor had reached above the point where it was possible to qualify for the one of the other programs.)
That's interesting. I've wondered for a long time why non-healthcare industries don't lobby hard for universal healthcare. It's a huge cost and administrative nightmare.

> 2. Nevod matches MULTIPLE patterns against document in ONE PASS. Patters/expressions are indexed by state machine and filtered effectively during matching.

Regexps do that too. Specifically, there is a whole class of "lexers"/"tokenizers" which are regexp-based, and which specialize in matching 1000's of patterns against the text, in one pass.

(You can kinda approximate it in regular regexp by doing multiple rules at once, each in it's own group, and seeing which groups are non-empty, like in "(rule1)|(rule2)|(rule3)" and so on. If your regexp library is good, it will match this in time independent from number of rules. But real lexers will have nicer syntax)
My system: Read the summary, read two reviews that sound vaguely sensible, take a guess. It works out well most of the time.
But there’s a trade off. Fewer ads better placed means fewer people likely to block them and more people likely to actually look at them instead of skim past. It’s also likely that the people who were blocking ads are less likely to click on them and thus (for some advertisers) lower value impressions anyway.

Revenue is (simplistically) the product of impressions and value per impression. It’s not therefore immediately obvious that moves like this actually do increase revenue for them, especially over the long term since one potential side effect of doing this is giving more ammunition to the ‘delete Facebook’ crowd.

Internally, I think PHP is great for prototyping. I have written systems in Go and PHP, and I think each has their strengths.

I like the batteries included standard library and single binary deployment of Go.

UBI itself isn't usually considered taxable income in the proposals, so effectively that's what happens.

Personally, I wouldn't increase pre-UBI marginal tax rates for taxable incomes below (pre-UBI median minus UBI), but I'm not a right-wing UBI proponent, and I favor focusing first on taxing capital income equally to labor income as a revenue source.

This caught my attention so I looked for a source. Looks like this rate is the number of people who are Employed (60.7%) or have been actively seeking work in the last week (4%) out of the total population of people who are 16 years or older, not institutionalized, and not active military.

The source I found doesn't break down the remaining 35.3% of the population much, except to pull out about 2% as marginally attached or discouraged. Basically, people who have given up looking for work. I tried figuring out the makeup of the remaining 33%, but without much luck. How many 16 and older students are out there not working because they are full time committed to schooling? Hard to figure out, because so many students have part time jobs or are at least actively looking for part time jobs. Then, how many people are retired by choice, versus retired because there's no more work for them? How many homemakers are staying home with kids because they can't earn enough to significantly exceed childcare expenses versus those who stay home because they don't need or want to work?
I agree with that. But the conclusion is very interesting. If something cannot be expessed within a language, it also cannot be described used any formal system, or mathematics in general. Which should be very distrurbing to modern naturalists, to whom (to the first approximation) everything is just clouds of particles (whose behavior can be described using mathematics).
Wrt to "How the Mind works": The beginning is really pretty dry, but it gets a lot more interesting in the later chapters.
