It's hypocritical of YT to be selling the dream of ad based revenue for their content creators when YT themselves are trying to get away from it.

If YT is moving to subscription services, shouldn't the content creators be thinking like that too?

It's also ... unright to be moving toward MSM when they are supposed to be the people's way to share video content.

YT is becoming NBC or HBO, but without all the regulations those MSM distributors have to follow. I want real closed-captions on all my content for example, so I can listen to my own music during the video instead of whatever music the content creator preferred -- like I can with TV.

Of course YT would say, "There's too much content, we can't be expected to CC everything."
Why did you decide on this business model (essentially downside insurance paid for by equity if I'm understanding it right) over something simpler like, say, subscription access to a newsletter?

What's to stop someone from signing up for the list and just buying a property on their own? (i.e. What perks are you offering that make it worth doing the deal through you? Negotiations? Acting as a buyer's agent?)

As a data point, I used to have a ruby script that would take a bunch of MLS IDs and go pull a ton of facts from Zillow and a few other sources. I would have my realtor set up a high-level search (i.e. SFH in these areas under $500k) and then take their daily emails and run them through my script to identify potentially "undervalued" properties. I still had to hand-check them after, but it was a pretty useful second filter (the MLS search being the first).
Good point. Will add keyboard support.

So in a hyperinflation scenario, money could be losing value faster than the negative interest rate, so you're basically paying someone else to take on that risk/loss.

That makes sense, although another commenter said inflation in Denmark is very low right now, so it doesn't seem to apply here.
Descriptivism breaks down when encountering jargon.

Consider the phrase "begging the question", for example. The phrase means something specific when discussing logical syllogisms, and was coined by academics as a piece of jargon to refer to that particular concept.

Even if everyone who doesn't know what a logical syllogism is, now thinks that "begging the question" means something entirely different from what those academics mean, that doesn't mean that the phrase has lost its jargon meaning. You can't redefine away jargon. Jargon gets written down into scientific papers and people continue to read and cite those indefinitely, so the jargon use of the term gets promulgated in academia indefinitely in order to understand those papers.

Yes, there is a lay-term "introvert" that now means something pretty much non-differentiable from "shy." But that's irrelevant when the useful term isn't the lay-term, but the jargon term.

To think otherwise would be like expecting a biblical scholar to stop using the word "apocalypse" to refer to the set of apocryphal texts of the Bible, just because the lay-term refers to an eschaton event.

Yes, lay-people will think you mean the wrong thing. But the solution to that is not to abandon the jargon word, but rather to specify that you're speaking academically and that you intend words to have their jargon meaning; and to terminate the conversation (or, grudgingly, teach an entire intro course to the academic subject to your interlocutor) if they don't know the appropriate jargon.
Excellent answers. Thanks!

Right, all three of these things were a direct result of the second industrial revolution, as was the rise of communism.

The first industrial revolution was punctuated with the American civil war. The second industrial revolution was punctuated with the great depression and World War 2.

Just imagine what the digital revolution is going to be punctuated with.

We are in for a hell of a bumpy ride.
This might not be the case everywhere in the country, but typically, the seller is responsible for the agent fees. This means that if we recommend an agent for our customer, who is the buyer, that agent is actually paid for by the seller.

We have the relationship, because we do have customers who are very inexperienced and this would be their first purchase. So, a lot of them still want to have to ability to talk to an agent and ask questions about the home buying process.
A typical full time content creator creates a new video per day. To go full time you'd need a couple of thousand per month, lets say $2,000. With these numbers that is 500k to 8 million views a month, or around 15k to 350k views a video. That might not sound like a lot, but given that it is for the entire world you can fit basically any niche within those numbers.

Go full time crushing things with an hydraulic press? Yes! Go full time discussing medieval weapons? Yes! Go full time building things with no tools from scratch in the woods? Yes! Go full time trying to beat Super Mario as fast as possible? Double yes! And so on.

My point is, this revenue is more than enough for interesting content to be produced, content that would never exist without this kind of monetization scheme. It might not be the best model for high end documentaries or movies, but it works for a different set of content which is still highly sought after.
Not sure how this wouldn't be considered price fixing or anti-competitive behavior.

You don’t think the men who have been President haven’t been through stressful situations before their time in office? Bush, Governor of Texas, Clinton, Governor of Arkansas, Bush, World War 2 Veteran and Director of the CIA, Reagan, Governor of California, Carter, Governor of Georgia. Despite those experiences, all to a T came out of office looking worse for wear.

Assuming Trump still is fairly rich (even if it's a much smaller rich than Trump would like to project), the fact remains that he is just not a very good businessman, and that he has held onto whatever money he does have in spite of his business acumen, not because of it.

Put another way, if I were given $100M by my dad back in the 40+ years ago, and managed to grow it to, say, $500M by today, that would be nice, but I wouldn't consider myself "good with money". And it looks like the real figure for Trump may be north of $400M[0], which makes even $1B -- if he has that today -- look not all that impressive.

We're talking about the US President here, someone we should feel comfortable with influencing/managing the fate of trillions of dollars. Trump is not that guy.

Sure it's inconvenient. It's inconvenient to staff anyone in the government. If I could have ordered employees like pizza on any staffing vehicle, I would have staffed them regardless of nearly anything else and never looked back.

Right now I can go on Mitre's website and look at their hot jobs postings. Right there is PM support in the army acquisition core, COTS integration, and several software engineer postings supporting BMD and THAAD. These are not part of their FFRDC line up. A cursory look shows about 1/3rd of current Mitre posting appear unrelated to FFRDCs. These sorts of positions will place Mitre employees in government offices and labs doing the same work along side other contractors hired by other contracting vehicles and along side government engineers doing the same work. It's not wrong, it's just the truth of the matter. There should be more firewalls legally speaking but they often times get broken down just so work can get done. I think that trying to dress Mitre up is not very helpful to someone trying to understand it from the outside. Statements like, "Mitre benefits most when you establish an ever closer relationship with the government agency and people therein. The higher the governmant authority you report to, the more valuable you become within Mitre," sound downright dystopian.

Mitre fulfills multiple rolls. It runs several research centers and fills government positions based on current government contract awards. They treat their employees well and pay a little above average for defense work. Mitre is heavily focused on technical positions or systems engineering. Mitre is a non-profit corporation and does not produce a commercial product. They are prohibited from engaging in manufacturing without special permission from the government.
> But it is also true that Tumblr was bypassed by native mobile applications like Instagram and Snapchat where it was even easier to post about your life.

This. It's understated how much Tumblr's clunky composing hurt it as a platform. I know people connected to Tumblr, and from what I hear there was a lot of ideas but little direction.

There was a time when Tumblr was bigger than Instagram— Tumblr could've focused more on making it an amazing photo-sharing service. Snapchat was/is loved by its anonymity and ephemerality, but Tumblr was already an anonymous social network well before it. They could've added features for ephemerality and explored that market.

I used tumblr for consuming a lot of content, and it was great for that, but I always thought it had potential to be better for sharing too.

Think about inventory holding costs. Not only do you have capital tied up in that product in the warehouse, but you also have the opportunity cost of not being able to stock something else to sell.

And to your car dealership point - the way it works for GM at least is that GM sets sales goals for their dealers. Dealer X's monthly sales target is 75 vehicles. They will happily sell lets say vehicles 73, 74, and 75 on August 31st to get their $20k bonus for the month of August. They might not be misrepresenting their supposed price like you think. Also, the same concept of inventory holding costs applies really well for car dealers. It's purely an inventory turnover business. If your lot is full of fusions and you can sell 2 f150s in the time that you can sell 1 fusion at similar profit, you're going to want to get those fusions off the lot potentially at a loss so you can sell more f150s.

> In classic lambda calculus, everything is a lambda term

OO says everything is an object. Even though Java has non-object primitives, we're still gonna classify Java as OO.

> Lambda calculus does not have any evaluation rules.

> The lambda terms in lambda calculus are not inspectable objects, but more just a sequence of symbols.

It's not clear to me why this makes Lisp not in the family of Lambda implementations.

> In the original Lisp, there was a stack of variable bindings instead, leading to something that is now known as dynamic scoping.

That's true. Every modern Lisp (Scheme, Clojure, Racket) has lexical scoping. And Common LISP uses lexical by default.

> Later, many of these ideas were backported to Lisp during the standardization of Common Lisp.

Again this contributes to the notion that LISP/Schema/Lambda Calculus were "discovered", not that Lambda calculus has an explicit pedigree.

Mersenne Twister was maybe the first in a class of random number generators that has lots of state -- an order of magnitude more than previous designs. Each time a number is pulled from it, some of the state is stirred, and the next number comes from mostly other bits, and stirs others. They have to be fast, so you can't touch too many bits per number extracted; taking about the same time for each number is nice, too.

So, one measure of generators is how many numbers you pull before you get the same sequence again. MT's cycle is very long, so in practice you never see a repeat, even if you see the same number many times. (In many simpler generators, seeing 3 then 8 means next time you see 3, the next number will be 8. A great deal of simulation was done with such generators.) The numbers from an MT satisfy many different measures of apparent randomness.

Monte Carlo investigations consume very many numbers. They might use the numbers in a more or less periodic way, so that any match-up between cycles in the problem and cycles in the generator can skew the results. The main MT cycle is very long, so any skewed results probably point to lesser cycles as the bits stirred are later encountered again. But it's hard to imagine a way to detect such cycles deliberately from the bits you get out. Encountering a process that finds them accidentally is amazing.
This goes even beyond "those who rightfully argue that they had nothing to do with the actions of their ancestors."

Whose original sin? I moved to the United States in 1986 from another continent. Not one of my ancestors was in any way involved with US chattel slavery. Because I have fair skin, do I bear this original sin? Does every person in America with fair skin whose ancestors moved to the US after the US Civil War also bear this original sin?

I'm not saying that something wrong didn't happen, but it's not useful or productive to state that there is an "original sin" that all people living in the US with fair skin are responsible for when the overwhelming majority of those with fair skin moved to this country from the very end of the 19th century onwards.
Tumblr is an hidden secret and totally underrated.

I run two niche blogs on tumblr since 2011 with full control of themes and content, https, social sharing, without compulsory ads and using my own domain. SEO was a negative point but nowadays is good enough. All of this for free. Wordpress offer, AFAIK, is not nearly as good.

Thank you Tumblr.
To add to the others, I frequently photograph raves and dance competitions that are strongly (but quite randomly) backlit. I dial it in on full manual to get proper exposure of the face, and then the lights streaming around the performer can come and go and without varying my exposure by a significant amount.

While wandering convention halls getting pictures of cospayers or suiters, the ambient lighting is consistent: I set to full manual and don't have to worry about the occasional light fixture in the background causing sensor confusion.

When I get home, I can bulk-process sets of images as a starting point, because they all have the same curves, then decide what I want to accentuate with each photo.

Source: Photography as a strong hobby for 35 years. I usually take around 20-30k photos/year at conventions and events, and the results are widely appreciated.

Providing links is indeed within this definition. However, cards go beyond that: by selecting one out of the many results promoting it and possibly alterating its meaning by selecting which parts, and how it is displayed goes far beyond merely displaying content provided by others.

Of course, there is plenty of room for google attorneys to wiggle, but in the end the objective for them is to 1) give credibility to a source and 2) to get the benefits of being the providers of information.
I have been running an ad-free web site about a niche hobby since 2002. I've never attempted to do any optimization for search. My site still shows up in the first page of Google results for relevant search terms.

Except lane markings need changing, signs need changing, and most of those aren't directly under your control. Insurers are up in arms because all the cars are set up for driving on one side of the road. Some disability group is sueing because a proper safety study wasn't done, engineers can't guarantee that going on the off ramps and off the on ramps is safe, because they were never designed for that and theres 10000 other assumptions that were made on the basis of driving on one side of the road that are now invalidated, and its your job to point that out to your new boss.

Because mainstream corporate media has trained us to believe “journalism” consists of a media conglomerate regurgitating official press releases, access journalism, and every now and then some intrepid reporter backed by a multimillion dollar company discovering some scoop.

> frame it properly.

define this. Those metaphors certainly do "frame" things, but what criteria is being used to make determination if that framing is "proper"? My view is that it frames thing in a loaded biased way that presupposes the solution, which is atonement. There is a clear and unambiguous bias towards the solution you've already decided upon by using that framing. Basically, you've worked from the solution backwards towards the framing that will convince others to arrive at your chosen solution.
> The articles available so far focus a lot on the economic incentives involved in slavery and how the American economy was boosted because of it.

This is incorrect - only two articles out of twelve (about American capitalism and the sugar industry) focus on "how the American economy was boosted because of [slavery]". The rest talk about medicine, music, housing segregation, and democracy.

Modern day slavery might be primarily an economic issue, but I think it's wrong to only consider American slavery in this context because doing so ignores its "racial component" and its current day ramifications.

I think that pause-by-default is more important than keyboard support. Put another way, I don't think that "play" as in "play a movie" is the right metaphor. I think that by default, the user should control progression forward and back, like scrolling through slides or flipping the pages of a book. Each person is going to want to linger on different steps for different periods of time, because we're all going to want to read different things along with what just changed.
For me, this issue is made worse by the fact that the text boxes can pop up basically anywhere... More than once in watching the first story, I only just located a new text box just as it was disappearing, and I had no hope of reading it.
