> an advertising platform that topic matches ads off the content of the web pages

Reading this article I had the exact same thought that I relayed to a buddy of mine. I've built some conceptual search engines on top of LSA.. and my thoughts from the article about brand/keyword targeted advertising is that it doesn't get to the heart of it.

To increase the advertising effects, not just the selection effects, you need to go deeper. Drawing on the analogy from the article a smarter teenager handing out coupons wouldn't stand just anywhere or stand just in line at the store. He would say, okay this is a pizzeria. (Assuming they serve nothing else) The smart marketer should think "Maybe I should advertise at italian restaurants." The analogy doesn't really show the full depth, right? There are many products where you can get some really off the wall potential customers you wouldn't know how to reach based on concept search.

Factoring in "documents" that they're reading online back into the search engine for conceptually similar ads is a good idea.
This was a key insight that I missed as well when I watched the debut of the iPhone. Much of the industry had wrapped their head around the idea that a "smart phone" was really just a personal digital assistant with calendar, email, and notes grafted onto a phone. After all, Palm was super successful with their Pilot and Blackberry dominated this market with their "phone with a keyboard for email."

The iPhone vision of a hand held computer that happened to make phone calls was way broader than I could get my head around at the time. I remember predicting that there were maybe 10 apps that would ever make money on such a device :-).
I won't pay twice the price (disregarding that the restaurant price is probably already twice the price of getting it at Costco), but I may just grab a water.
It's a defense strategy. And it's necessary.
That isn't how it works in tax lien states. The amount of money owed is irrelevant in the eyes of the county, only that you did not pay money owed in the time allotted. And as I said, they are quite clear (at least in my state) about the amount owed.

A property with a tax lien does not go to auction. The property tax lien holder is more senior to all other liens, except a federal tax lien. This includes being senior to mortgages, which is why mortgage companies typically keep your property taxes in escrow (to ensure they are paid).

Once a tax deed is issued, no compensation is paid to the previous owner. The title is not marketable for a period of 7 years. That is, a title company will not issue a warranted deed on a tax deed transfer. To resolve this, the deed holder needs to wait or bring a quiet title suit. The previous owner may get compensated in a quiet title action to sign a quit claim deed or similar to rectify the quiet title suit.
They just wanted a cut of the sales. I doubt he is making 10 bucks a dozen anymore

what? The parent wasn't claiming equivalency of the severity of the issue - instead the brokenness of a society that resorts to this flavor of solution or response.
This is a good idea! TF Object Detection framework takes a lot of effort to use on simple ideas, so frameworks that enable more abstraction the better!
We all certainly have the capacity for it, but by no means can you say each and every person on Earth gives into it. Rise above it or not, its your choice.
well at least his fundraising ability is unparalleled
I doubt it.

All of this tracking by ad companies is overblown in some circles but most of the public don't really care, especially if it helps keeping their taxes down.
This is ridiculous. I already understand many seemly critical software are just unsafe / insecure but people actually running this without multiple layers of safety net mechanisms on a high speed machine that can, and did kill people? The backup driver is one broken safety net, and there are no more working security redundancy?
Is it just me or is Krispy Kreme really trigger happy with its lawyers? I only have two points of data - this and Froggy Fresh.

But still, are there any companies out that that don't care to fire off petty lawsuits when people use their name or resell their product at small scales?

Like, if I made a unicorn called "Hukino" and then 10 years later some YouTuber used that as his rapper name or some college students made "HukinoOS" or someone started reselling my widgets in the arctic... would it kill my company if I just ignored them? Is there a precedent of a company not aggressively protecting its IP getting screwed over?

I'm just trying to imagine a world where companies like Nintendo don't instantly axe projects like Chrono Resurrection/Pokemon Uranium/AM2R/etc. because that's the kind of world I want to live in.
Money adds things

No. What money does is redistribute limited attention.

Information may (or may not) be freee, and nonrivalrous. But its complements, attention, distribution, discoverability, access, reach, are all rivalrous. Time is the ultimate rival good: a second, minute, hour, day, week, month, year, decade, lifetime, spent on one thing is that interval not spent on all else.

"Money doesn't talk, it swears." Bob Dylan.

Money is an amplifier, or at least, provides access to amplification. It can also be an eraser, a gate, a gate keeper, which determines who shall and shall not pass.

The more I read on the nature of monopoly, the more I'm convinced that the critical element of it is not prices or "consumer welfare", but of role as gatekeeper. The monopolist (or monopsonist) faces a constant queue of approaching supplicants. Each supplicant has the best alternative of ... no service. Or at best, extraordinarily reduced service (fewer capabilities, higher costs, most often both). The monopolist, particularly if already at or near capacity, though even at levels of service far beneath that, need only consider the next supplicant.

What people miss out on with money is scale.

The typical US household would be hard pressed to meet an emergency expense of $500. When Facebook purchased Instagram for $19 billion in cash and stock, it expressed a liquidity of nearly 40 million such households -- about the population of California. That is, a single corporate entity, and more significantly, the single individual effectively controlling that corporation, Mark Zuckerberg, has a greater effective voice than the entire rest of the state.

In a land dedicated to the principles of liberal democracy, that seems inimical to its very foundations.

As to the touted ineffectiveness of political advertising, the arguments would ring far truer if 1) the parties claiming such reflected the belief in their actions and 2) would not protest so loudly efforts to either curtail or 3) clearly identify those doing the advertising and spending.
Yubikey's use the standard keyboard USB driver so they should be hot pluggable on any linux system that is configured to enable hotplug.
I might have phrased it incorrectly but the message I was trying to convey is that those that perform better and produce more results should be rewarded more (as expected) because they put in the effort to achieved better outcomes, rather than giving someone a head start because of their race or economic status (ie affirmative action) which is inequality.

I would strongly hope that studies combining meditation and psychedelics will be targeted as explorations of specific interventions for clinically diagnosed conditions and not as lifestyle practices. Otherwise all the cautions you mention are very valid.
> Toronto seems like a bit of an unfair example when you compare sheer ridership because it’s bigger than all but five US cities

Actually the metro area pop. is only beat by LA IIRC, so your point is even understated
Uber should have added a camera which watches the driver and checks if they're paying attention.

If not it alerts, turns the warning lights on and slowly stops the car.
I believe the device performs it's biometric verification entirely on device. The operating system should see the key no differently that a regular non-biometric key.
r>g is broadly equivalent to the ζ parameter in this model

I don't find the model itself especially compelling as a broad model of the economy myself, though it's nicely written exposition of how variance can wipe people out and largely agrees with my biases. The fact that a curve with three arbitrarily-set parameters can be made to fit empirical Lorenz curves doesn't particularly impress me, and the concept of rich people enriching themselves through wiping out poor people in zero sum trades as opposed to having the ability to transact with a lot more people in positive sum trades doesn't ring especially true of a modern economy.
I love a skyline dotted with wind turbines and solar panels, especially when the current alternative is not being able to see the skyline due to the fumes and toxic particulates from fossil fuels.
Should have been doing that from the get go, but better late than never.

I'd like to see specifics though, how often do they plan to do these verifications?

What happens if someone puts up a listing just to get verified, then cleans it out and goes about business as usual?

What about hosts that let their place fall into disrepair over the years? etc
I meditate daily, sometimes sober and sometimes after doing a j... both are valuable, the experiences are 90% the same, the remaining 10% is an interesting object of observation in and of itself. I've meditated on shrooms too. There's value in observing how drugs change your conscious experience, and I've found that value carries over into sober meditation.
Wishing you guys well.

Over time we're seeing there needed to be this sort-of middle ground license for companies, which is essentially, "anyone can use it as a dependency, but you can't use this product, slap a different label on it and then compete directly with us" and it seems that this and related licenses are going to accomplish that.
To address your unrelated tangent, as a pedant (as I think many techy types are), I personally appreciate the extra effort put in to qualify the statements.

Your "you’re 100% right that all bottled water is functionally identical" makes me bristle.

I only drink tap at home, but I know that bottled water is drawn from very different sources, and certainly some has quite different taste and taste is certainly a function of water </pedantic>

Fortunately you yourself mounted an effective defence against pedantry by qualifying that with "for the purposes of this discussion".
Can you give some examples of that? Most of the poor have no wealth in the first place.
It would be great if your tool integrates popular object detection frameworks such as TF Object Detection API. Would save people a lot of headache installing and configuring in order to begin finetuning
I think you made great points in your comment above, but I would point out that the thought experiment indicates that the resources they control are actually not that vast, compared to the wealth that would actually be required to raise everyone in the world to, say, the current average American standard of living more than temporarily. It may be moral to take that money and put it to better use, but it would run out a lot faster than most people think.
>> There is a reason the many eastern religions that were the inspiration for a lot of new age ideas forbid drugs and alcohol.

That's taking a very narrow point of view on the subject. While modern, mainstream, orthodox eastern religions forbid drugs and alcohol the traditions that inform them used a wide array of tools to reveal and tune the instruments of perception.

A man with a broken leg benefits from a crutch until the bone heals.
That's a fallacy. It doesn't consider Knock on effects of that money moving very rapidly to pay debts and trade
The key difference here (well a key difference) is the coaching. Having a 3rd party who isn't your boss (the competition) or you who looks out for your longer term health and ability is incredibly valuable.

In software, I guess we call that a mentor? But a mentor is much less involved, day-to-day, than a coach is, so I'm not sure the metaphor translates. Could a great (not just good) boss play that role?
You are very correct. But what I always wonder. How long can this system perpetuate?
I work for about 8 hours every M-F. If there's something that I want to check out or do (except for meeting up with friends after work), then it's easier on the weekends.

For instance, there's a world music store that I've been dying to check out. Since it's closed on Sundays, Saturday's the absolute best day for me to go. If I had to I could go after work, but I'm typically pretty tired by that time (not to mention the fact that it's in the opposite direction from my apartment).

If I had an extra day off during the week then I could check it out sooner.
> maybe having given too little weight (pardon the pun) to the qualification "inside the horizon" just before your close paren

That qualifier is indeed crucial.
Right. If you're trying to metaphorically reach the peak of a mountain, psychedelics are like a helicopter that lets you fly around, find the path and even reach the top.

It's possible that you'll grow to rely on the helicopter to climb the mountain, but hopefully what you take away from it is that there is in fact a path (or accept that there's not - and you might has well climb a different mountain).
I’m way past accepting ad-network ads. If an ad shows for a product I’m really interested in I’d rather google it on a different browser/device than click the ad. But mostly I’m disappointed that the company in question even uses ad-network (ie tracking/targeted) ads.

(I’m from the 70’s and TV didn’t have ads when I grew up, that could make a difference I don’t know?)

I want to be shown no ads or ads for products completely irrelevant to me because seeing (well-)targeted ads makes me feel watched and tracked.
Vehicular smash and grabs certainly happen, and I suspect that's the reason for most store bollards. Going through my local shopping center, the grocery store has a couple that are clearly for pedestrian protection, the pet store don't have them, and the electronics, clothing, and toy stores have bollards only useful for security. (Far from the curb and in front of windows.) That seems to be pretty consistent on the value/density spectrum to me.

Here's an Apple store without bollards: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=od5YG6kBrJs
He's saying these feel good stories only exist because of terrible situations to begin with. The company C&Ded him but after public backlash changed that heart. The hospital gave a patient an $800k medical bill after the insurance company refused to put her baby on the insurance but they magically could after publicity. The ability to get publicity and bad press should not be the arbiter of fair treatment, fair treatment should be the norm not the outlier.

It should be self-evident that the accelerating inequality we’re witnessing is not the natural inequality of competition and the power law, easily explained by simple arithmetic.

An accelerating and historically high broad societal effect is naturally a product of broad and unique properties of the current regime, rather than fundamentally consistent properties, which would naturally be seen across all time.

What is more broad and far-reaching than manipulation of the money supply itself? “We have found that inflation (1) worsens income distribution; (2) increases the income share of the rich; (3) has a negative but insignificant effect on the income shares of the poor and the middle class; and (4) reduces the rate of economic growth”
http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.295...

It’s not difficult to see why - under an inflationary regime, those holding currency lose out relative to those holding assets, because the former’s wealth is not preserved; and low income wages are facing a constant headwind that their earners are less equipped to navigate.

We in the US have been engaging in an experiment since 1971, which has resulted in a marked discontinuity and a shift in to whom productivity growth accrued:
https://wtfhappenedin1971.com/

This is not necessarily the true or only explanation of our accelerating and historically high inequality, but it has the properties of a realistic explanation, in that it identifies a broad, historically distinct cause.

Fossil fuel based energy sources dramatically lowered the cost of food production in terms of how much human effort was dedicated to it. Where the next breakthrough will come from is anyone's guess. That's the nature of capitalism. There isn't a five year plan, and production quotas, but we get there.

Because it's no more risk than just driving a regular car on the road? Uber employs/contracts thousands of regular people to drive customers around and I'm sure some of them have had accidents as well - they just don't make the news as much.

There is this secondary issue that partially autonomous cars give the driver a false sense of safety but that's not unique to this case either.
I was going to say how associated software is not required to use some features, but I see that what you quoted continues with:

> The key seamlessly integrates with the native biometric enrollment and management features supported in the latest versions of Windows 10 and Azure Active Directory, making it quick and convenient for users to adopt a phishing-resistant passwordless login flow.

So I'm also curious if this indicates that biometric enrollment is not going to be added to yubikey-manager or yubico-pam.

Equity in the private equity sense refers to the financial term equity [1]. It should be contrasted with public equity, which is equity that is listed on an index which allows it to be purchased on the open market.

[1] Definition of equity

2a : the money value of a property or of an interest in a property in excess of claims or liens against it

b : the common stock of a corporation

c : a risk interest or ownership right in property

d : a right, claim, or interest existing or valid in equity

Evicting Jeff Bezos from wherever he lives wouldn't help a shack-dweller unless you gave Bezos' old house to the woodsman. So, I would say that the woodsman doesn't care about inequality, instead any benefit he could get would come from an improvement in his own fortunes (irrespective of what happens to anyone else). If inequality was the problem, then bad things happening to someone would help everyone who was worse off than them, but if Bill Gates gets cancer, nobody is better off.
> Compared with placebo, psilocybin enhanced post-intervention mindfulness and produced larger positive changes in psychosocial functioning at a 4-month follow-up, which were corroborated by external ratings, and associated with magnitude of acute self-dissolution experience.

It seems there was a measurable positive outcome after 4 months. It gets the desired result of enhancing human experience, so does it really matter whether there was chemical assistance? At this point it is just a drug that enhances mediation.

Tides don't rely on the sun's gravity. It does affect them, but if the sun disappeared there would still be lunar tides, which are the majority of tidal activity. Well, I suppose the subsequent frozen oceans would be detrimental. The gravitational tidal forces would still exist though.
