Now that's getting into some serious philosophy there. In this respect, would we be moral people without it being codified in law? I'd like to lean towards yes, because before state's law it was religious law. Humans have always projected their morals via the powers at be.
I really wish people would stop associating themselves with parties and instead care more about issues. I see it quite often that somebody thinks an issue is good but as soon as “their” party comes out against it they are suddenly fiercely against it too. Party allegiance pretty much stops people from thinking about issues. Instead of doing the right thing it becomes all about winning and defeating the “other”.

I bet on a lot of issues it would be really easy to find large national agreements if the parties didn’t sabotage them for tactical reasons.
> Wouldn't it be more efficient to put the risk on the bank, so that it is the bank that seeks insurance to cover that risk?

No, because the value stored in the boxes differs by orders of magnitude and the bank doesn't even know the value.

$200/yr is just not a reasonable amount of payment to take on a 10s of millions of dollars liability, and most box customers wouldn't pay whatever price would make that liability reasonable.

(Based on the 500x annual cap mentioned in the article you could imagine that the bank would want $20k/yr for a $10m liability)
The only cruise I've been on was the Disney Magic in Alaska. It was a lot of fun for me and my family too.

From what I've been told, one of the nicer things about the Disney cruises is they don't nickle and dime you as much as other cruises tend to. Once you're on the ship, just about all your expenses have been paid for (excepting alcoholic drinks). When we arrived at these little Alaskan towns, of course we're paying tourist prices, but we're there to do tourist things. If we wanted, we could have saved money by staying on the ship.

I agree about how liberating it was to be disconnected from the internet. I think you could do away with the boat and build a resort around the notion of disconnecting from the internet and news media for a week.
Yes it is a lot - T-Mobile charges $20 a month for an iPad data plan. I do it anyway.

It’s convenient not to have to burn battery on your primary device and while T-mobile offers unlimited 512kbps tethering, for $20 a month getting unlimited high speed tethering for us (my wife has a cellular iPad also) even though rarely used, is worth it.

Also, the iPad is an excellent hot spot. They’ve done benchmarks showing the iPad can work as a hotspot for up to 36 hours.
Then go to a cashier. If your store doesn’t have any, go to a different store that does.
Sure. Making an effort to recruit the brightest minds means first of all paying them like your competitors are paying. Giving them similar perks. Giving them challenging things to work on. Giving them good promotion paths within the company. Making the company engineering-driven rather than middle-manager driven. Google and Facebook do all of them. Microsoft currently do none.

Also, you haven't addressed why you think even if my assertion is true how Microsoft's so called revival having nothing to do with tech isn't true.

Seems like it comes down to some investors preferring safety so much that they will pay for the privilege?

One possible arbitrage here might be for the governments themselves to issue more debt and invest it? (Essentially, this is a government bank.)

But, the market seems to be saying that there are too few good investment opportunities. Maybe consumption should be higher? A UBI scheme might do it.
I believe the selling point is that it can run on battery for years, 10+ years sometimes limited by battery's shelf life time.
Forgotten to put reading into that list, I have weeks or months where reading is my goto activity (although less last 12 months). But honestly, despite my curiosity for everything, I don´t believe books can help me become a better version of myself. Books like Homo Deus by Yuval Noah Harari are interesting, but that´t pretty much it. Then you have books about how to be better at something (yourself), by forming good habits and so on. At the beginning (when I didn´t known much about anything), these books had been useful. But now, nothing I read touches me / changes me a bit. It´s all more of the same. Still useful for conversations, though.

Meditation, tried it several times. I don´t get it. Sometimes, nothing happens in my mind and I just sit there for minutes, observing nothing. Other times I can observe thoughts appearing and wandering off, then I refocus on my breathing technique. Both experiences do nothing for me. I feel the same afterwards, I do the same activities afterwards.
Not sure why everyone's giving such bad reviews. Had gotten pre-approvals many times. I did my due diligence and built up my credit to get into the range of their "minimum requirement". with the assistance of a credit expert which I contact (captainspyhacker2 @gmailCOM or +1502-378-7817) to helped me fixed my credit. He helped me pay off my CC debt and improved my scores to 780 in a couple of days Applied, got approved, Took less than a week for the whole process, with funds directly sent to my checking. I had benefited a lot from Captain spy service as I'm presently writing this message in my new house at Texas Thanks Captain!
If Republicans chose the worst person in 50 years of American politics to represent them, you've really got to wonder how the Democrats still managed to pick someone who would lose to him.

The DNC didn't want to listen to those of us in the party who were practically shouting at how unelectable Hillary Clinton was and the party got what it deserved, IMO.
What if consumers decide at that point to withdraw their money and keep it in a safe at home?
To balance that, add all dem congresscritters who blame Russia for election tampering but seem unable to pass laws about anything to prevent said tampering in the future. I think their voters would like a fix for those perceived problems.
Besides that, the whole article feels like a collection of platitudes.
950Mhz/860Mhz is fine, 315/433Mhz is even better for longer distance but it seems Europe/USA are mostly 950/860Mhz only.
When you loan money you risk it. Unless you are under the FDIC insurance limit, the bank is allowed to lose your money by lending it out wrong. FDIC insurance is actually a progressive redistribution program because people with more money pay into the system without receiving proportional protection.
The point made earlier is that most images are "buttons and logos", and while not part of the main text, understanding what they say is important to e.g. the navigation or context of the site. For that reason, it's no more clutter for users of screen readers than it is visual users.

The "printing a page" example doesn't work, because we still need to navigate pages, see logos, etc.
Wisdom is not anticorrelated with profound depression, unfortunately.
It's if you're using on the server side, all packages/dependencies included and running on your nodejs-backend have full access to your network and filesystem, even if it's just a css styles library, if updated it there's no permissions stopping it from grabbing files or monitoring the network.

Instead of wrapping security layers around it ourselves with docker, selinux configs etc, it's safer to let gcp or aws filter that out for you because they're likely to have way better security.

Serverless ( there's still servers/containers ) just means that you don't touch the devops and scaling. You can still have your DB and APIs separately in order to be cost effective.

In your case your servers are not using node on the backend to run the servers thus you don't have this vulnerability.
Not really, you kind of have it backwards. Most wear skirts and heels.
With negative interest rates, it truly will make financial sense to put all of your money under the mattress, so to speak.

In reality, keeping liquid cash will no longer make any sense whatsoever, and further push all other assets up in value, property and equities for example.
Can someone explain the basics? Why buy a bond if it loses money? Why not hold cash?
I don't doubt that Nadella is humble, and so is Microsoft under him. But my point is they're not in the least bit ambitious technically. They are not trying to make any product that's the best in the world. The old Microsoft, and the current Google/Facebook/Amazon all have that ambition.
Works with creationism then.

But, interestingly, there may be a symmetry between people who overestimate the amount of creationists and creationists who underestimate their numbers.

So maybe that technique is actually valid. It spots an asymmetry in people who think the majority is wrong on something.
There is still a serious linguistic disconnect here. You’re talking about what are essentially suburbs. Big cities are mostly apartments and condos. This is true throughout the developed world including in the US, but for some reason in the US we ended up calling every group of houses and a general store “city”.
Google “gpt-2”.
There is a joy in sharing, but is it really sharing if we're shouting into the void? People want to be part of a community, even if it's just a tiny one. We need that part of the web back.
Just a hobby so not really.

I have some half-related product/service ideas but nothing concrete at the moment.
It's interesting you cited the fictional cage situation. You should do some research about the photos and cages.

What on earth? Do they mean the smokestack (as the singular is used) or the two masts each of which is higher?

I know this is a joke article but still...
Another Tokyo resident here.

I can't stress how much these things helped when I first moved to Japan long time ago. Nowadays, you can do real-time translation of kanji just by pointing your smartphone at the signs, but back then you had to copy those kanji by hand to your electronic dictionary, and wrong stroke order means the right character just won't show up.

These simple typography helped me guess the correct stroke order to understand where I was and where I am supposed to go.
never thought LoRa can transmit video, isn't the bandwidth too low for that, I can not even imagine 320x240 video/mjpg using LoRA.

Not weird at all. You lend your money to the bank, the bank operates with them and you get paid for that.
Can you give me your money so that I invest with them and I will give you less what you gave me in 10 years? Thanks!
Possible but highly unlikely; they could literally keep money in a sack under their bed and get better returns. Not much difference between a sack under the bed and a bank account if you don't tell anyone about the sack.

I'm guessing it probably either speculators buying bonds assuming that they can be onsold to a central bank, or people who are forced to buy for whatever reason (eg, maybe some savings schemes are forced to put x% into government bonds). I've bought bonds exactly once on the assumption that I could on-sell them for a profit when government lowered interest rates. People like me don't have any impact on the market, but if the incentives make sense at the small level maybe it works out the same on the large.
Is it weirder that this was essentially the case for decades upon decades?
Estimating success of re-ID in incomplete datasets using generative models

GNES – a cloud-native semantic search system based on deep neural network
How can anyone make this argument in good faith? The people being caged, the reasons they're being caged, the conditions they're kept in, the utter depravity of it all are on completely different scales. I don't recall simple asylum seekers or American citizens being caged under Obama.

Furthermore, one side is loudly advocating against it as a practice, now, because its horrible, not simply because it is Trump doing it. It was bad when Obama did it too. And yet, the other side is actively encouraging it and often outright cheering it.

Furthermore, and this highlights an ideology that I've rarely seen hold untrue, liberals are more than happy to openly, vocally criticize Obama. And yet, in this case, faced with abject horror all we hear from the right is "whatabout Obama".

In my opinion, this argument is completely disingenuous and is merely a gotcha-style deflection.
I think philosophically this has merit (see Riba[0]). Economically, I feel like it makes perfect sense to get paid for providing a service (i.e. loaning money).

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riba
Makes more sense if you think about it as being paid to forgo consumption. Your being paid not for having money, but for not using it right away and letting someone else use it instead.

Of course, if no one else has anything better to do with it, the value of this "service" drops to zero, as seems to be happening now.
Spammy post of questionable value from a company slinging 'anti malware software' with a 'powerful AI', whatever that means, for osx.

Sounds like a bad move to me but it also sounds more like political spite than omg the rainforest is gone.
How Hong Kongers deal with tear gas
I don't think so. It's not saying anything about how highly confident the correct are. It's about how they know that most people are incorrect. It's about misconceptions.

There is this core part of the unpopular-but-correct answerers that knows that the incorrect answer is popular.
The larger this core part is, the higher the "score" of the "surprisingly popular" answer is. It's about finding something that is "mistakenly popular".
> so the reference is not just to the show but the time we watched it and reacted to it together.

But you're talking about actual friends and actually shared experiences, and I think internet memes are something else.

Often enough there is no "together" there at all: when someone reproduces an internet meme, they may mean something they can't or are too lazy to put into words, but it may get interpreted completely differently, or not at all (yet may still get "agreed to" for the sole reason of others also knowing the reference, or at least having it seen used a lot... as in "I don't understand this or know the origins, but I know it's 'official' and roughly know how to use it"). The point is, nobody cares enough to even follow up to check if the message was received, and generally many people just suddenly start saying things because everybody says them now, like a rash.

Sometimes, the message isn't even fully formed in the mind of the sender though, and "oh, you know what I mean" actually means "don't make me reflect on what I'm trying to say here, and if it makes any sense". That's not particular to interwebs memes, but there it's considered almost uncouth to call nonsense out, being a spoil-sport, or proving lack of humor by not finding funny what has been decreed objectively funny by the invisible hand of the hive mind.

> The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.

-- George Bernard Shaw

Picture me in front of a diagram: "People are so lonely, they mindlessly repeat things this stupid just to belong." Harsh and obviously not 100% true, but sometimes it's really just that. Even just YouTube is a giant abomination of a testimony to people talking and listening on auto-pilot, if you just care to cast a cold enough glance.

I don't think language is solely a social phenomenon: the ability to reflect on it, and to use it precisely when thinking, when using it "between oneself and oneself", is just as important.
> Motive attribution asymmetry makes us unwilling to cooperate. When we hate our neighbors, we lower our defenses against the virtual invaders who detest the United States’ pluralist and classically liberal values.

Mentioning motive attribution asymmetry, and committing it in the very next sentence - hilarious. I dare say those people don't detest 'classically liberal values', but US foreign policy and influence (such as imposing seed patent law on invaded countries).

Of course this policy isn't driven by the US people as a whole, but by a handful of special interests. But it is very convenient for them to use the US as a shield, and remain discreet themselves.

That said, I can't really disagree with the rest of the article.
Imagine Venezuela before the hyperinflation.
Portals Are Lit
The producers of this season were clever in that most of the bushcraft 'experts' they found were from the US South and Eastern US/Canada so they struggled so, so hard to make fires and were humbled by the wet environment.
It's extremely long range for low-power devices. LORA is mostly used for sensors, trackers and other miniature, usually battery/solar powered devices that need to run for months or sometimes years unmaintained.
I think they are coming to the wrong conclusions. They lost the plot at 7, so 8 is based on bad data.

If the Time Value of Money has disappeared, then I suggest it is the money that is not worth the time. We have many historical case studies that show what happens on a broader time scale when a society's money is debauched.

Time is the one true scarcity we all face. I am working at using it wisely... What have I got to lose? :)
Have you looked at primary sources (statements from McConnell, his office, or Congress) for more about why they blocked that funding? Your inference sounds like it’s based on one-sided reporting and the asymmetry described in the OP article. There may be another explanation that doesn’t assume the worst.

(I’ve been complaining about election security for twenty years, but this issue has become a political game since 2016.)
One of the interesting points that the media neglects to report on is that the migrants are free to return to their country. They would be given a ride to the border for free and allowed to go their merry way.

Migrants in "cages" is only a perception that certain people have.
There are temperate rainforests in the U.S. as well. I've been to the Hoh rainforest on the peninsula of Washington state, and it's probably similar to the rainforest in this story. Quite a lot of logging has been happening for a long time in the surrounding area that you can see while driving through, but I'm not sure they're indigenous trees as they're tree farms explicitly for logging.
It’s insane to me that you could buy a 10 year treasury around 1980 that paid 17%.

That’s more than double the long term stock market return, and it’s (basically) risk free.

I'm making what I believe to be an observation of reality and a logical inference from that observation. I honestly don't know what to do about it, but I would be willing to personally bake a chocolate cake for every person whose mind I could change. All I'm saying, is that we judge people on their actions, not their intent.
That's right, but tracking what you can't ignore is effortless, the opposite to shooting a moving target.

Bank accounts are only FDIC insured (or equivalent) up to some limit. If you have hundreds of millions and would otherwise stuff that in a bank account buying bonds are a safe alternative

>How do you reconcile this hypocrisy?

It's like when a toddler has a hard fall and looks to the parent to see how to react. As a parent, if you look horrified and make a big deal about it, the child starts bawling. If you look normal and brush it off, the child has a minimal reaction. It's the same fall, but the network of people they take leadership cues from dictated the nature of their response.

It's the same with people (on both sides of the aisle), their social networks, and the press. People underestimate the power of the press and the influence it has on giving cues about when and what to be upset about.

It's not so much that the hypocrisy is reconciled, it's just ignored.
Beijing says millions of tonnes of U.S. soy shipped to China in trade consensus
> very naive and young. either way, you’re no liberal.

Likely, but about on par with other claimed liberals here in NY, given my experiences the last few years.

I considered myself to be extremely liberal, but the new left would view me as far right. I feel politically homeless and I hear a lot of the same sentiment from peers.
> notary of their own

I have never heard that such a thing as private notary exists.
So yes, 15 years ago I got a few items for free. I didn't act to get around their system - their system was just straight up broken, moving items to the have-paid-for-them area without counting them. I don't think it is a customer's job debug a store's system and manually move items back from the have-paid area. You're trying to push a paradigm wherein the store can shirk hiring even a single person to oversee their side of the transaction, yet make the customer responsible for applying diligence for both sides. Give me a break.

I guarantee you the store doesn't analyze their situation in such inflexible absolutist terms, because they could literally never do anything ("can't just put stuff on the shelves, someone might pocket something!!"). Rather they look at cost/benefit. The cost they incurred there was part of the development of the machines, which seemingly has paid off for them by now given that the machines are still around. That is how they chose to handle their half of the responsibility, end of story.

I myself only brought up the detail to make that point that even with the machine's obtuseness leading to missed items, the frustration of it grinding of my gears was still greater! Place the item here, place the item there. no, you did something wrong, go back. no, go back. okay now I am finally ready to take your money. bills first, sorted by serial number! And every time I have tried the machines in the following years, I find that same obtuseness. If you can't take the judgment of valuing my personal convenience over wasting my effort to get free stuff as an indication that I am not a thief, it only demonstrates how useless your paradigm is.

So get off your high horse. Maybe next you can write some grandstanding general comment about the countless other occurrences where something was wrong on a receipt but people didn't go back afterwards because the error was in their favor. Or I can even give you some fodder - I also defraud the stores by changing out my surveillance nym every few months. Meanwhile you can continue missing the forest for the trees and letting slide the emergent-complexity abuses caused by the wholly logical implications of absolutist morals and laws.

I bet you're one of those people that actually waits in a line to exit the store, so that the security guard can recheck your receipt and give you a gold star. How many are you up to now?
I don't know when ellipses started signalling an old person, I used to use ellipses in my teenage years all the time (25-38 demo here).
Inflation was nearly that high, so while the nominal rate was high, in real terms it was more in line with historical returns. Mortgage rates were often in double digits too.
That seems like one step too far.
If there are only 0.1% of flat earthers, why would 10% of people think it to be the most popular answer? That does not seem realistic at all.

Or did you interpret the question as suggested by bena in his sibling answer, ie as an estimate for the answer distribution (that would then have to be averaged) instead of a choice of the most popular answer (as was done in the wiki article)?
