What is criminal about this? I never heard of someone going to jail for cheating on an SAT test.

And why aren't the admissions boards going to jail for accepting the bribes?
Wow, I'm sure you're going to get snatched up quick. Best of luck.
Yes, that was always the draw of the Nexus and Pixel lines. "Vanilla Android." Really hope that's still the case, though I've switched back to iPhone for a number of reasons.
Matt Levine's trademark... objectivity? cynicism? is perfect for this.

"It is not about fairness; it is about theft. Selective colleges have admissions spots that they want to award in particular ways. They want to award some based on academic factors; they want to award others based on athletic skill; they want to award others in exchange for cash, but—and this is crucial—really a whole lot of cash. Buildings are not cheap.

...The bribery scheme devalued the asset not only by stealing it and re-selling it for less than it was worth, but also by being so explicitly commercial.

...consultants and coaches are misappropriating the asset and selling it for their own benefit."

Wouldn't it be more useful, not to mention less prone to falsely inflaming your fear and still being respectful of your fellow man, to put security cameras and motion detectors inside your home instead?
Why is that a tragedy? So they didn’t go to Yale, Stanford, or USC (?!?). Presumably if they were borderline at those schools they ended up somewhere perfectly fine.

I’m happy these parents are being prosecuted, but I don’t think there were any tragedies here.
Given their current tensions with Pakistan, that seems like a horrific idea
Caring about children isn't about arguing from premises. Indeed if someone claims to need an argument to care about children, it's a pretty good prima facie case for the existence of a psychological disorder.
Nice. I guess I'm 8 days behind on the SOTA...

But I'd note that it is build on top of a CNN base (ResNet or RetinaNet) and that the Attention-only system performed slightly worse than the one including the CNN layers.

Also, this isn't really a Transformer architecture, even though it uses Attention.

But maybe this is too much nitpicking? I agree that Attention is a useful primitive - my point is that the Transformer architecture is too specific.

(Also, this is a really nice paper in that it lays out the hyperparameters and training schedules they used. And that Appendix is amazing!)
Don't think you can do that unless you allow some of those taxes to be passed through to the tenants.
This is exactly why Waymo and Cruise and such believe autonomy Level 3 or so is utterly dangerous and have intentionally skipped it entirely.
Housing is treated as a good investment because it is scarce. Stuff that's affordable is usually not scarce. Hence you can't have both something that's scarce and affordable.

That aside, the reason why people have been using housing as an investment vehicle is because there really aren't that many good investment opportunities over the long term. You have stuff like gold and stocks, but they have their own problems. Housing has the additional utility of the ability to live in it.

I suspect that the reason housing/real estate wouldn't be considered such a great investment if there were a better store of value.
Housing doesn’t have to be a commodity at all. It can easily be an unconditional human right.
> which is a completely legal way to get your kids into a school of your choice.

It may not defraud the university, but that doesn't make it legal. When a university promises its admissions / grading are fair / based on neutral criteria, but in fact accepts bribes and gives preferential grades... that's also fraud. It's fraud against the students who have are paying for an education which is not what they were sold. Bribing the school makes those parents parties to that fraud. Donating a building (for the purpose of getting your kid into a university) is (usually) a crime.

Edit: That's not to say a University can't acknowledge in its application materials: "Yes, we accept bribes!" However, that may may hurt the business more than operating legally.
If the Tesla had a proximity sensor that slammed on the breaks in the last 2-3 meters, would he have survived? I ask because it's a common luxury car feature and would be easy for Tesla to implement. IIRC this crash and the semitruck crash had no evidence of the autopilot hitting the breaks according to the NTSB.

Even if his velocity was only reduced by a fraction, the amount of power involved in the collision would have been reduced by whatever that fraction was.

Edit: So it turns out the Model X does have automatic emergency breaking, but the preliminary report says that the Tesla actually increased its speed in the 3 seconds leading up to the crash. Sounds like a major software bug to me.

Here's a review of the Model S AES compared to other cars, in particular the Tesla AES trigger can't handle when a lead car moves out of way, which is what the NTSB report says happened:

Bear in mind, though, that the US Navy operates in the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans, as well as the Mediterranean and occasionally Arctic. The US Navy often operates far from US naval port facilities.

The Chinese fleet is concentrated almost entirely in the Western Pacific, near its naval ports.
Tesla is the only one claiming to have a working solution and is selling it to the general public.

Everyone else is far more cautious.
If housing prices outpace wage growth than either housing costs will become a larger and larger portion of people's budget or housing quality will continue to become poorer and poorer.

(Unlikely third option: Wages begin to represent a smaller portion of total income)

5% annual return is significantly higher than wage growth.
I've experienced somewhat the opposite. From 18-30 I had Saturday night AD&D every weekend, then people had kids, got different jobs, moved around, and now getting everyone around a table together is near impossible. We still spend time in person but it's usually one on one for a quick beer or chat on the patio with whoever happened to crop up. I also just have tons more family engagements; nephews and nieces to take out for birthdays, graduations to celebrate, dinner at my wife's parents one weekend, dinner with mine the next, siblings coming in from out of town. When we do get a free weekend we usually travel or go hike. Growing up has killed my tabletop life, but it's still a good life.

Luckily my computer gaming friends still have time for a match here and there, and games that are part of series we really enjoyed(like Borderlands, or Diablo though that franchise doesn't really grab us the way it used to) can usually bring a few of us together at odd times in the evenings. And double luckily my wife loves Rocket League and we usually squeeze a few matches in before we wind down for the evening.

So if renting shouldn’t be legal, what do people do who can’t afford a home or who don’t want to buy one?
I was also surprised that the OP scoffed at the 30%. If you sold a drug that did that you would be an instant billionaire.
This is true, but it goes so far beyond that. Lack of mixed use zoning is also a big factor, as are little details like speed limits, road widths, pedestrian islands, cut throughs, plazas, walk/bike paths, size and placement of crosswalks, placement of traffic signals, etc.

Something as small as the curve of the corner of the sidewalk at the intersection, most people will never think about, but it absolutely impacts walkability (the larger and less 'sharp' the curve, the less walkable it is).
The amount to donate a building probably covers the cost to expand the student capacity of a university by several dozen students. With the donation they could easily afford to accept everyone they otherwise would have accepted and also accept the one rich kid and still come out way on top. So I'd be surprised if they did this -- though not shocked.

We follow "Jira methods".
I feel like the solution here is to not bribe your children's way into school.

If your children aren't academically talented and you don't have the money to publicly buy a building for the school you should accept that and just let them live off your money and power as is traditional.
I was just darkly joking about the possibility that it's not all about us. That, for all the millions of other species going down, we're not that distinguishable from the Chicxulub asteroid. Some of them might even be conscious, on long timescales.
You think that tenants are currently paying less than the maximum amount the landlords can extract from them?
"Fascism" is used today to refer to "bad thing I don't like".

It's a mistake to interpret diction literally. Yes, it would be lovely if people used the word "fascism" to refer to right-wing, ultra-nationalist, authoritarian political movements. But that's not how people use words and the ship has long since sailed on that particular word. According to George Orwell "fascism" has a been a synonym for "bully" since 1944 - http://orwell.ru/library/articles/As_I_Please/english/efasc
I think another important consideration with respect to modern web development that this article does not touch on is the sheer quantity of dependencies, and their often ephemeral nature. Even a relatively simple web application might have hundreds or thousands of transient dependencies via npm (or similar), and on top of that may well depend on other live services running elsewhere on the web (such as SaaS, APIs into other sites, or other services built by the same author as the webapp). I feel that for many web applications today, a sizeable chunk of the modern internet is effectively a dependency of that application to run as it should.

It would seem that the house of cards must collapse eventually. At some point, either these problems must be addressed, or the ecosystem will begin to lose developer mindshare in favor of easier and more performant solutions.

On the other hand, I think that HTML+JS has become so popular for applications development because targeting a single codebase to many platforms is quite difficult. There is little in the way of "write once run anywhere" UI libraries, and HTML+JS fills that niche well enough that people are willing to use it. I think that most people would prefer tools that are faster, smaller, and easier to develop for than Electron (for example), but if you want to run properly on Windows, Mac, and Linux (let alone mobile), there aren't a lot of really compelling options at hand. At the end of the day, if you want to build a end-user focused GUI program accessible to a layperson which will run on Win+Mac+Linux+Android+iOS, web technologies, whatever their flaws might be, have little in the way of competition.
> No, you said "Communities have the legitimate power to do what you describe so long as no individual rights are violated." That is not in fact a principle of classical liberalism, which favors individual rights but is not controlled by them.

You missed a “not”, and yes it is a core principle of classical liberalism; indeed, classical liberals tended to see powers of government as legitimate exactly to the extent they served individual rights, as they perceived those rights. Locke, for instance saw the realization of the rights to life, liberty, and estate (which he collectively labeled as “property”, thought that term often is used equivalently to how Locke used the “estate”) as both the motivation for entering into government by the people and the function whose service defined the legitimate role of government.

> American conservatism draws from classical liberalism, for instance.

Both Americans conservatism and American liberalism draw from classical liberalism, without being entirely within it, but I'm not sure what your point is in raising that about American conservatives, since explicitly echoing Locke’s position on the legitimate role of government (with perhaps a narrower understanding of property and thus individual rights than Locke stated) is a central refrain of American conservatives, especially those most likely to explicitly cite continuity with classical liberalism.
Unless you're starting as a small child, you will never pick up words that do not occur frequently just from listening and interacting. Or it will take many more years than it ought to get to a given level.

Knowledge of a large number of these words is required to become competent, because, as a category, those words are coming at you all the time. Problem is, you don't know which one of the many thousands is coming your way next on any given day. The author of this article makes the same remark, basically:

> But there’s also an enormous amount of low-frequency words and syntax that even native speakers might encounter only once a year. Knowing any one of these “occasional” words or phrasings isn’t essential. But in every context — a book, an article or conversation — there will probably be several. They’re part of what gives native speech its richness.

If you don't know these words, you don't know a lot of what you're listening to. You might have this explained to you, and so then in that session you are okay with those words. However, without follow-up repetition, those words will soon evaporate.

I live in a highly multicultural country, Canada. Here you can encounter immigrants who have been here 25 years or more, whose English still sucks; and it's not always due to only associating with speakers of their native language. They use English everyday and interact with English speakers, all right. It's simply due to not mustering the academic wherewithal to study properly.

Good idea. I'd support lending Bumblebee to Vietnam if his existence can be kept reasonably under wraps. Possibly also some of our Grey tech like the blackout gear and non-newtonian recon craft. And finally I'd like to personally extend a wider, international appeal to Madame Vastra, Jenny Flint, and Strax to make themselves available on call should anything more nefarious be afoot, in the sense that the future of mankind hangs in the balance.
In the US the public universities are the only schools that can't be bought into at any cost.
It's perfectly possible to build very devistating weapons without computers. For example Little Boy & Enola Gay; and Fat Man and Bockscar. The Uranium, Plutonium, and Hydrogen bombs we're built without and do not contain computer. Ditto for the P38, B29, F104, &c.

Software makes our world go round, but it's not a necessity.
Anyone that started developing in the IE9 era or later cannot comprehend how painful it was to develop for IE6. You simply have no frame of reference whatsoever. Any gripes you have about IE9 or later sound like a joke in comparison. Even IE8 was a huge improvement.
No, not the way I think it should, but the way they promise they do.

If a university promises fairness and that's a lie, then it is fraud against the students / applicants.

I think self driving cars should have both high dynamic range cameras and LIDAR and maybe time of flight cameras. Input from a LIDAR system would be much more likely to detect that barrier, and computer vision via a camera much more likely to be fooled. I think an investigation into why the computer vision system failed to detect a barrier under clear daylight conditions will show the negligence on the part of Tesla. Lane lines are frequently not well marked, and sunlight glare is a difficult problem for cameras. However, you have to be able to detect a concrete barrier, in the worst of conditions. Does Tesla have in place some kind of determination of its lane detection accuracy and then alert the driver that it is turning off auto-pilot when accuracy is low?

The tradition is nepotism and bribes. It's a relatively recent thing for the state to go after the moderately wealthy for doing what they've done for millennia.
In most cases, a home isn't going to be rented forever. At some point properties get liquidated by the owner. If it's an individual, most likely at retirement or when they don't feel like managing the properties anymore. For a company, it's when it no longer profitable or when the company goes under.

My point is that properties, even rental houses, turn over at some point and there is typically enough turnover that it's probably not going to tie up affect the long term percentage of homes for sale.
Schools also have an incentive to keep acceptance rate as low as possible as it’s an (extremely bullshit) signal of value.

I absolutely agree and personally feel that incarceration as vengeance is immoral and incarceration only becomes a moral action when it is a deterrent to future actions. If you were omnipresent and knew that a murderer would never murder again - and that the jailing of that murderer would not prevent any future murders - then I'd consider it to be immoral to jail them.

Unfortunately a lot of America is on the vengeance path when it comes to punishments for crimes. We need a lot more criminal justice reform but, please, let's not start by giving the elites a pass - justice is already inequal enough.

I wonder what tier of income this service is intended for. It seems that those wealthy enough to warrant a personal chef would have a private one on retainer, and most others would elect to eat out at an upscale restaurant than hire a personal chef.

Requiring ingredients to be on hand also limits how far a personal chef can even elevate the meal.

That’s fair and the struggle for all regulators I would imagine (though the stakes are higher with human health).
