Google has been "looking at" AMD for decades, including rolling out an enormous fleet of AMD machines spanning several generations. They have a big platforms group and plenty of engineers to dedicate to trying to make the TCO pencil for any platform, even POWER and ARM. The existence of a new AMD part that could actually work is not a new development in the relationship between Google and Intel.
Thanks mindcrime, that's a really interesting answer. It is fair to say that some things normally associated with capitalism depend on growth, e.g. equities.

On the topic of corporations, I can see the point about liability. There could be a world without corporations, and instead use partnerships with pass through liability. I wouldn't take that trade though, because if anything the world needs more innovation, and for the most part the liabilities are financial, and the counterparties are aware of the risk. Some liabilities do seem unfair to limit liability, for example environmental ones, because it hurts people who never agreed to assume any of the risk.
>>>You dropped this when you quoted me. I wonder why...

There was nothing particularly egregious about that particular statement. I didn't feel a response was necessary.

>>>To think that we should resort to violence instead of using the systems in place for peaceful negotiations is insane.

Soap box --> ballot box --> ammo box.

There is a spectrum of methods for effecting change. If people are reaching for the ammo box, it SHOULD only be because all attempts to utilize other methods have already conclusively failed.

>>>Also, interesting how you only quoted slave-owning inspirations of Southern Democrats

They were the first ones I came across in a 30-second Internet search for "Founding Fathers on the Second Amendment" or "Founding Fathers on tyranny". A further search for non-slaving owning Founding Fathers reveals [Thomas Paine, Samuel Adams, John Adams].

"In a state of tranquility, wealth, and luxury, our descendants would forget the arts of war and the noble activity and zeal which made their ancestors invincible. Every art of corruption would be employed to loosen the bond of union which renders our resistance formidable. When the spirit of liberty which now animates our hearts and gives success to our arms is extinct, our numbers will accelerate our ruin and render us easier victims to tyranny." ~ Samuel Adams[1]

Thomas Paine doesn't have many juicy tyranny/2A quotes. John Adams seems to take the position that the militia should be an extension of the state security apparatus (my reading of his quote).[2]

But anyways, this is all getting away from why I replied at all: you stated there was "no such thing as an American spirit of defending yourself against tyranny" and implied anyone stating such is a liar. That is a blatant falsehood. Positions from the nations founders on tyranny are so easily accessible and, IMO, fairly clear on the subject. So what sort of information have you been exposed to that would ever lead you to hold such a strong, and objectively erroneous, position?

> Amazon does not pay taxes from salaries.

for the one millionth time, it doesn't actually matter whether you pay income tax or your employer pays it for you. [0]

if you want to be precise, amazon doesn't pay income tax, but it does have to pay payroll taxes for each employee, which is proportional to the income they are paid.

> Amazon, if you moved to Mars, shouldn't reduce your salary because you're not paying tax to the UK.

amazon changes payscales based on local COL at all if it's offices. if enough employees lived in a zero income tax environment to matter, amazon (or any other large company) would absolutely shift salaries down.

This reminds me of California's ban on selling some products in large size containers. A person can buy 1 quart cans of some wood finishing products, but 1 gallon cans cannot be sold. Of course, this means if that person really wants the product, they can just buy four 1 quart cans for every 1 gallon can they would have bought. This at least makes that person weigh the decision to use the product versus an alternative that is preferred.

How does that work? How can a firewall tell that a TLS connection is a WebSocket and not just an HTTP session with a server experiencing high load?

your assumptions and blanket statements about everyone doing things is just wrong. Its like someone who promises anything @ 100%... you know they aren't truthful, because nothing is 100%. How would you know what info the other guy gave you isn't a fools errand rather then useful info? Counterintelligence is a thing.

Lots of companies don't pay attention to their competitors aside from just passing glances. Sometimes your competitions action is not in any way visible to you, for instance when trying to win top secret gov design contracts. When you are on the bleeding edge or the only one working on something, there is just no need. I could come up with a lot of reasons why spying is useless(not saying it doesn't have a use, just not useful in every case as you propose)... but i guess i am confident in things, rather than paranoid. Worrying about what someone else is doing is just wasting time, unless they are coming for you.
The president of the US is roughly a 1770s British monarch, with broadly similar powers to George III, except with election and limits on length of service.

Capitalism may appear to be going obsolete only because our society has been corrupted with too much corporatism.

I think Steven Pinker's case for capitalism is strong; still, it may be that a significant portion of that progress derives from "cooking the books" with regard to externalities like ecology, the social fabric, and quality of life. (The fact that things seem to keep getting better on average also obscures the possibility that we're "leaving money on the table" in terms of how much more life could have been improved, in the absence of rent-seeking, perverse incentives, etc.)

The shareholder model in particular does seem to have two layers of moral hazard: one for externalities to the economy/ecology as a whole, and another for short-termism and fixation on valuations/exits rather than sustainable revenue and relationships. A single owner, even if the worst kind of extractive rent-seeker, at least must take responsibility for their choices (including the potential for pro-social principled choices!), as opposed to getting lost in the crowd of "any other rational actor would make this same choice, so I'm off the hook".

Actually I've considered setting up a company again in Denmark, but really I'm screwed. They've closed down the Danish IVS (the version of a limited liability company) so basically if you want to have a startup you are basically limited to these company types https://www.companyformationdenmark.com/types-of-companies-i... none of which really match what people need to do when running a startup.

But still there is a lot of crap to read about how the government wants to support startups. I don't get it, why lie, it's obvious you don't want to.

Citing Boeing on this isn't really going to get a good answer, of course they think it's an illegal subsidy. You need to define illegal though.

The general interpretation of the issue states that allowable subsidies are, "those which are applied to research and pre-competitive development activities, and others which assist disadvantaged regions" [0]

Tens of billions of dollars in tax breaks and loan guarantees doesn't really seem like it could all fit under that definition, and indeed it looks likely that the WTO will rule that way as well.

The main problem with this case isn't just that AirBus received illegal subsidies. That can be true at the same time that Boeing also received them, making this a somewhat ridiculous thing to argue about, for Boeing to claim to be the aggrieved party here when any grievance or disadvantage has been offset by their own subsidies.

The end result will be additional tariffs imposed in both directions, making consumers pay more, at a time that tariffs and trade wars exacerbate a minor economic slowdown, increasing the chance that it will turn into something more.

No question price was the single biggest mistake in the Fire Phone. It was one of the notable times Amazon betrayed how they usually go after product segments, with relatively low prices and relatively high quality. Going after a very high volume, low price phone at good quality, is exactly what they should have done. Amazon saw the money machine that Apple had and thought they could slice off part of it (just $4-$6b in income would have been huge for Amazon back then); at that time AWS was not yet spitting off a large amount of operating income, so they were still thrashing around for high margin homerun that would give them some operating breathing room (same reason they took shots at eBay in auctions and Google in search). Instead of treating the Fire Phone like the rest of their hardware efforts, they reached for margin.

I'm slightly surprised they haven't taken another shot at a high volume, low price Fire phone. For further device distribution purposes (to layer services on). Why bother to continue with tablets and not do anything in phones. I've been assuming it's because of the stink of that failure, they're biding their time.

In the same way, I'd also recommend Last Chance To See for a slightly different flavour of Douglas Adams. His whimsical style is remarkably well-suited to a non-fiction nature and travel book. I can't say I completely get his science fiction books, but I felt the constraints of a non-fiction book gave me a new appreciation for his sense of humour and his way of balancing that with thoughtful, meaningful exposition. It's one of my favourite books :)

He gave a great talk about it, too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZG8HBuDjgc

I know this is not your writing, and you just stumbled into this, but I am also intersex and am going to call that author out on their BS.

Sex assignment is the official term used for designating a sex to all babies[0] not just intersex ones. As such it is totally correct to use the terms AFAB and AMAB to describe non-intersex trans or even cis people.

The author most likely just has a bone to pick with trans people for using intersex people for their own ends, without sharing their visibility or talking about our issues. Which is a valid grievance, but this is not a valid outlet for it.

And that’s exactly what I mean with the choice that you have to make.

You could do that, and win brownie points with some crowd, but let’s not pretend that doing so wouldn’t have an impact on your work as an AI researcher.

“Nothing more than that” is more than a little bit disingenuous when you take into account the actual work that involved, don’t you think?

It’s something a company like AMD could (and does?) sponsor by throwing paid employees at it. Or big companies like Alibaba who buy enough HW to trade off HW cost vs R&D spending.

But if your goal is to be a deep learning specialist (it’s where the money is today), spending time on these kind of infrastructure issues is a complete waste.

Yes, because there are more factors than the treatment itself, and it is important to be able to ascribe benefit/harm to the treatment vs. the other factors.

As mentioned in another comment, the sad state of Alzheimers patient care today includes infrequent attention. It is plausible that two visits from another human each day would in itself cause the same kind of improvement seen in the study.

Without a control group, it is impossible to ascribe the results to the treatment or the other aspects of the study.
