I was flat out unable to use the family sharing feature of YouTubeTV. Support from gooogle was helpful but they didn’t have much to offer in the way of a workaround. They researched it and basically told me to get gmail accounts for everyone in my family or share my google account with my kids (!!!). Interestingly, I asked if I switched email providers if my account would revert to one that would allow family sharing. They couldn’t guarantee it.
What are you asserting? That the world will be uninhabitable by then, so we shouldn't try?

Microsoft CEO defends US military contract that employees say crosses a line
Market economies work great in textbooks under idealized conditions of perfect competition, where all participants in the market are fully informed and have the option to enter or exit the market freely. In reality demand for housing is highly inelastic, significant informational asymmetries exist, the market is fundamentally constrained by the supply of land and the varying demands resulting from demographic change, and other factors.

Economic analysis that does not take these factors into account is not worth very much. It also fails to offer any useful solution for the underlying problem of rents rising faster than incomes.
Is there local regulation or NIMBY-ism that prevents the market from providing new housing?
I always have one question about such discoveries. Is it that the some mating pairs of the species somehow escaped being seen and were thought to be extinct or is it some magic of nature that the species got reborn somehow!! May be there is an XKCD line about this already :)
I think the end game is probably something resembling electrical grid markets. Electrical power is bought and sold in real-time by traders, as the supply and load fluctuate. There are many players in a competitive market, like nuclear plants, gas plants, solar, wind, etc. There are even complex derivatives (like “swing options”) traded in the electrical markets. Someday computing resources will be bought and sold in this way too, with a large number of players in a competitive market, which will drive down the currently inflated cloud computing costs. We can already see an embryonic version of such a market in the form of AWS “spot instances” and the AWS reserved instance secondary market. AWS is fighting tooth and nail to avoid or delay such a commoditization of computing utilities, which is why they announce 50 new vendor lock-in software products every week instead of focusing only on the hardware resource.
>there is not any concerted pressure to shut down existing nuclear plants in this country.

It's making a comeback. The initial released documents for the Green New Deal called for phasing out all nuclear power within 10 years.

Not at all what I was expecting, but a great read nonetheless.
Can you point me to data about a period of non-warming since this paper was written (1983) that coincided with a change in terminology? These data from NASA seem to show a consistent warming trend over that time period https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/global-temperature/
Very cool! Someone should update Wikipedia and add this as a Gopher server implementation.

Perhaps soon there will also be a Revival section to add, if enough interest is generated. My curiosity has certainly been piqued!
1) Yes, unless it somehow implements protected class discrimination, whistle blower retaliation, etc. And you waive this every time you sign an NDA, discuss company internal info, read one of those "this email is intended only for its intended recipient" emails, contribute to FOSS with a Code of Conduct, etc.

2) I don't see how it's a terrible. Musk is breaking federal laws as CEO and putting the whole company in jeopardy. It's no different than a rogue firstline worker speeding down the road drunk in a company vehicle.
Public housing is hardly a libertarian's dream, but even from a laissez-faire viewpoint this makes vastly more sense than rent control.

If you want something, and the market isn't providing it, you subsidize the supply or you buy it directly. That might distort prices relative to an independent market, but if your public policy is stable they'll still reflect relative demand and supply. Subsidizing purchases or constraining prices doesn't just alter the market, it degrades the signal - and usually doesn't fulfill the goal except in the very short term.
And yet the Green New Deal does not include nuclear in it's mix why do you think that is?

I am not complaining about anything I am simply point out the obvious. If you are claiming that environmental organizations are not mostly against nuclear you are ignoring the facts.
The sooner we completely phase out CFCs and other stratospheric ozone depleting gases, the sooner we can go back to the good old days where you could enjoy that sunshine.

Could use some editing but brings up some interesting points.
What do you mean by vacancy controls leading to reduced rental stock and lowering property values?

If high rent is the issue, vacant units should be pushed to the market instead of artificially limiting supply. Cities and residents would mutually benefit from a vacancy tax like Vancouver or similar, where international speculators are not using the units for anything useful to anyone in the city.
Musk is salaried. There is no "off the clock," and that's inapplicable because he isn't being asked to do work or constrain his personal life. He can call people pedos and all that all he wants as far as the board is concerned. He just can't commit federal crimes in such a way that the company is liable, by voluntarily making false material statements about it.
>Do you have a link to an example?

Like I said, on Craigslist/Kijiji/etc it is difficult to find such a price, or when it goes online, it disappears very quickly. A price like this can be found by walking around and finding "à louer" signs and calling the number.

But here is one for $650CAD (492.47USD):

But when she dies (probably not far away), the place legally must be rented at the same price (+ inflation of one year), assuming no major renovations are undertaken. And if it get's renovated, the price can only rise to a certain point unless the whole building get's demoed. So someone will get it at about that price, eventually, unless the landlord illegally raises the price (which happens).

I was just wondering if music instrument store employees would be affected by everyone playing.

There's a whole article which we are commenting about a rent-control policy being passed. Why don't you consider the reasons stated for its passage in the article, instead of asking people here to restate them for you? Sealioning isn't a good way to have friendly discussions.
I think the term "climate change" became preferred, because "global warming" over-simplifies the threat. It's not just about a warming planet. It is also about more devastating storms, longer and more dangerous fire seasons, changes in precipitation and weather patterns, etc.
Because your suggestion is theoretical while Twitter exists today.
What you are suggesting would result in all renters being kicked out of the city.

Now, if you want to live in a city, you have to Shell out hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Berlin would only be for the rich, as no renting company would be willing to rent anything to people.
It doesn't appear to be impossible.

Setup a transmitter at earth which emits a signal at uniform intervals containing current time (seconds since kanye west's marriage). An observer can then deduce current time if it knows where it is. I don't think relativistic dilation would effect this method.

With multiple such emitters synchronized with each other, one might even be able to 'triangulate' the current time. (I haven't worked out any details)

If you insist on such a narrow definition of the term "trust" then yes you're technically correct. But it also reduces your entire argument into one of semantics; there's no security impact to adding a new "trust anchor" as you're defining the term.
I don't care how much it would reduce traffic fatalities. I am absolutely opposed to this level of nanny state overreach. And I trust that enough other Americans agree with me to prevent this kind of nonsense from making it into law.

What I would support is a further reduction in the allowed BAC, and stricter enforcement of traffic laws in general.
I'd save yourself the trouble and throw it all in the garbage.

This is a fundamental misunderstanding of everything to do with neurology. There is simply no way to write a point by point rebuttal of how much is wrong in this article.
> the market is fundamentally constrained by the supply of land

And constrained by how the government allows that land to be used.
Economists also universally agree that free trade creates the most wealth. But this assumes that distribution and dislocation effects are ameliorated with wealth transfers on the side.

Nobody disagrees that rent control increases the average rent. The question is whether it's a worthwhile trade-off. I tend to see it as a tax on the young for the benefit of families and the elderly. In a city like San Francisco a worthwhile trade-off.

In reality, turnover tends to be relatively high in cities, and especially in San Francisco. For large apartment buildings the marginal increase in rents induced by rent control are very small. For smaller apartment buildings the risk to the landlord is greater (potentially less turnover, fewer opportunities to reset baseline to market prices). This is why I think that rent control should go hand-in-hand with density.

Rent control also increases the appeal of renting relative to purchasing as it provides the same ongoing expenditure stability. If we get rid of rent control we should simultaneously remove all incentives for home ownership. But we all know that the latter is politically infeasible. Why should we expect rent control to be any less politically infeasible? Because we tend to perceive the proponents and beneficiaries of rent control as starry-eyed liberals?

In a city like San Francisco the biggest culprit of high rents, aside from sheer demand, is zoning and the arduous approval process. All this finger wagging over rent control is counterproductive and tone deaf. If we remove rent control the biggest problems will remain. If we address the biggest problems then the "problem" of rent control will largely recede.

The same logic applies to Georgist Land Value Taxes. Conceptually they're the best way to maximize efficient use of land. But we know that they're politically infeasible. No Georgist LVT system has ever survived without exceptions and loopholes making the system honored only in the breach. We cannot underestimate the social value of price stability for something as important as housing. If you ignore the fundamental need, bad things will happen like Proposition 13.
given US is one of the biggest contributors in absolute terms and also is incredibly high in per person terms, surely that's the best place to start.

"Both of the terms in question are used frequently in the scientific literature, because they refer to two different physical phenomena. As the name suggests, 'global warming' refers to the long-term trend of a rising average global temperature ...

'Climate change', again as the name suggests, refers to the changes in the global climate which result from the increasing average global temperature. For example, changes in precipitation patterns, increased prevalence of droughts, heat waves, and other extreme weather, etc."
You should be upfront that this app is limited to 30 "articles" (or partial listens). Your app description makes it seem that the premium version adds only: "Subscribe to create your own playlist, download for offline listening, or browse through playlists that are tailored for your interest to discover new articles."

Premium is required beyond the 30?
Listening to 5 seconds of an article counts as a play?

That vast majority of human beings worldwide understand CO2 causes climate change whatever their view on other environmental issues. So the question reduces to: what percentage of humanity thinks nuclear power is a good idea.

Singling out environmentalists as hypocritical is as unreasonable as singling out Japanese who are overwhelming aware of climate change but dislike nuclear.

Harmful change is the most significant result of the warming. We could instead call it "North Carolina Estuary loss" but that would not capture the issue adequately. Heating, coastal erosion and change are all happening whatever the name and some of that is more important than other.
Trump didn't commit securities fraud on Twitter. Yes, his Tweets are outrageous and absurd, but very few if any break the law. Him blocking people on Twitter was found to be unlawful and reversed by a court--for the same reason as Musk's activities, because he has repeatedly used his "personal" account for his job.
Whether or not it's a valid argument, that does seem to be the SEC's argument here.

Unicellular in the form of bacterium may in fact not be that much of a jump. It may even have happened twice in the form of archaea and bacterium.

While it’s true that rent control is Econ 101, what’s being proposed now a days is not a strict price cap.

It allows for increases above and beyond inflation, and generally above the kind of returns one could get on the stock market (in Oregon’s case it’s 7% plus CPI).

There’s also a carve out for new construction. That incentivizes capital to go to increasing supply, as opposed to the current situation where flippers add a new coat of paint, buy some stainless steel appliances and then jack up the rent.
I suggest you form your own assessment and see if other people find it plausible and actionable.
After 4 years in a Fortune 100 as a contractor, I was burnt out. I took a year off to jump into indie game development. Eventually I successfully shipped a product on the PS4 store, but to get there was a deep scary dive, with no real net and constant self doubt. It made me appreciate how easy contracting is. Now I'm back from my sabbatical, contracting full time and loving to sip on my latte not worrying about the cheque.
It’s also funny how people are totally fine with dumping the nuclear waste to 3rd world countries or third world states (Washington State and Nevada). As long it is not in your backyard it’s fine I guess.

Looking quickly at the backing paper, it's all about higher-order derivatives. As I see it, the grindy-axe is about where and how one makes the hand-off from algebraic notation to actual computation: keeping the calculation in algebraic form allows efficient algebraic manipulations, which can then be translated into low-level computations.

The question, then, is:
a) whether the space of problems where you have good algebraic notation lines up well with the total scope of TF problems, and
b) whether the extra complexity of supporting the full computer algebra system is 'worth it.'

For the latter, keep in mind that algebraic derivatives can get cumbersome/expensive when you have an exponentially complex piecewise linear space (eg: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1711.02114.pdf); the linked paper makes no mention of ReLUs... things might be fine with sigmoid activations, but they're the exception, these days...
Nah, it's generally not very economical to do so. They serve primarily as a evening/weekend social hub, much like a restaurant. If you want to get plastered, you're much better off doing that in a private residence, in my experience.
The term "climate change" predates "global warming", and according to google ngrams it has always been more common.

That had nothing to do with it.

Terminology changed because "global warming" was too simplistic. And because it encouraged simplistic thinking.

Sure, increased greenhouse forcing from CO2, CH4, etc will lead to increasing global average temperature. But the specifics will be far more important.

For example, polar temperatures will increase more than equatorial temperatures. And generally, winter temperatures will increase more than summer temperatures.

More importantly, peak winter and summer temperatures will increase more than averages. And weather variability will increase. Mainly because there'll be lots more water in the atmosphere, and so lots more energy available to drive stuff.

Edit: There have been periods of global cooling (mid 60s to mid 70s) and ~stable global mean temperature (late 90s to late 00s). Even though atmospheric CO2 levels have been increasing, the whole time, at an increasing rate.

So how can that be? The key factor, I believe, is changes in SO2 emissions. SO2 reduces greenhouse forcing through increased cloudiness (and so increased reflectivity) and stratospheric haze (and so increased absorption and IR emission at high altitude).

SO2 emissions decreased dramatically during the late 50s to early 70s. So that allowed greenhouse forcing to increase, commensurate with atmospheric CO2 etc levels.

And then, since the 80s, China has ramped up coal use, and released increasingly massive amounts of SO2. So that counteracted, somewhat, increased greenhouse forcing from CO2 etc.

The fit will seriously hit the shan as China implements emission controls on coal plants. So we'll still get their CO2, but much less SO2.

In comparison to the alternatives, nuclear has the fewest environmental drawbacks.
The problem with Drupal has been that every time one version reaches end-of-life, it's never a clean process to just upgrade to the next version.

It's almost always a total tear-down and re-platform.

For the most part, CMS-based sites are always a tear-down after 2-5 years anyway, but I've never seen a clean / smooth upgrade of Drupal to the next. There's always some custom code that won't work, or a slew of modules that have to be changed out / re-written.

The biggest gain AEM or Sitecore have over Drupal is that, even if they cost more, they rarely hit a point where they're simply at the end of life. Means you can still keep applying security patches until you're ready to do a re-launch, not have to run your re-launch around their schedule, or run your CMS without patches for a bit until you're ready to do a re-launch.

Anyway Drupal's fine if you know that every 2 years you'll be tearing it down and re-building it from scratch. If you go into it with that mentality, Drupal is great.
I am not very exercised about draft documents, and given the huge subsidies and externalities in the nuclear power industry, it's not too surprising that people are skeptical about that. I'm not anti-nuclear but those are legitimate problems nuclear advocates need to address instead of complaining about how hard they have it.
I appreciate the authors calling out #2. ImageNet and CIFAR are both "solved" benchmarks, to the extent that state of the art algorithms by now are likely overfitting to the specific dataset details. In particular, objects in ImageNet are nearly always in canonical pose, with no occlusion, few confounding objects, illuminated, and in a semantically-obvious configuration. For some applications this is acceptable but as an industry benchmark ImageNet is not informative (user generated photo distributions are never this clean).

Even more damning is the recent BagNet paper (nice summary here: https://blog.evjang.com/2019/02/bagnet.html), which indicates that ImageNet can likely be solved with no global features (i.e. model doesn't have to learn anything truly abstract, just configurations of textures, shapes, colors). I thought the author of that blog post put it nicely:

"As someone who is deeply interested in AGI, I find ImageNet much less interesting now, precisely because it can be solved with models that have little global understanding of images."
Ugh... This list seems like a mishmash of actual bad practices and active areas of discussion labeled 'myths...' which seems pretty harmful to me.
