Easy, you know that they aren't and will ever be entirely correct for complex enough ML problems, just like humans.

I'm sorry if you took offense at any part of my comment, and I've tried to streamline it a little bit. But I think that some things should not be left unsaid - Trump has been called "the worst president in history" for all sorts of reasons, many and perhaps most of which are just about partisan bias rather than substance. Focusing on some of the actual policies he's taken credit for, and their real-world effects is probably more helpful.
No, aluminium in your body will make the microwaves burn you even more. They attract microwaves. That's why you NEVER put aluminium in a microwave oven.

That's also why the government is spraying chemtrails in the air so you breath it in, they are full of nano aluminium particles. This way you'll be more receptive to the 5G microwaves from the towers. They're going to burn citizens who don't obey the government.

I don't need to provide evidence of misuse. The terms of the telemetry programs of the most popular mobile apps and modern destkop apps are far too broad. Just like I don't allow my government more power than it needs, not waiting around for proof of misusing unlimited power, I don't need to wait for a dozen major scandals related to telemetry. But certainly, there are dozens upon dozens of cases of people getting damaged by data leaks from other companies (see Equifax), which is a directly related problem.

The overreaching abuse of telemetry and ToS is a known thing, it's public consensus among those who actually read these things, and so the onus of proof is on you to prove otherwise, not me.

Otherwise I would have to provide a collection of different examples every time I explain to someone that an object in motion remains in motion until acted upon by an outside force. At some point, you have to accept consensus as fact unless you can prove otherwise.

Yeah, but realistically I only use the BC2 tip. I've also got a TS-I tip in a box somewhere but I've never bothered to get it out.

I picked up a T12 shovel tip, which extends comically far from the handle, but works just fine: https://www.flickr.com/photos/myself248/49284798441/ and https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07V7DY8YQ/

I wish I could get shovel tips like that in the shorter TS100 form factor, but no luck. I've thought about picking up one of those knockoff stations that takes the T12 tips, specifically one with the FX9501 handle, specifically for the added versatility, but I don't think I'd use it enough to justify. But here's the one I've been looking at: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07PQ1GJZ5/

The native TS100 tips are all over the place. But the ecosystem thereof is still very small.

It's functionally shows up as a cost, but that doesn't make it a tax.

Consider: if a company had no profits at all, then for some period of time it would still (1) pay its employees (2) pay the payroll tax on behalf of those employees. The amount of payroll tax is 100% determined by employee compensation, not corporate profit (even if those two are indirectly connected).

You're more or less arguing that employee compensation is a tax too, since it also "raises the price the company has to pay and thus lowers profits".
All What You Need About Travel in One Place
I don't buy this argument. Let's pretend for a moment that there are currently 5-20 intelligent species in our galaxy, and everyone except us developed deep space ships and successfully colonized thousands of other planets (make up almost any numbers you want here; the results still hold).

What would our telescopes see? It seems like we would most likely see exactly what we see today.

The probability that one of those ships happened to fly anywhere close to our solar system, while we were looking, is still vanishingly small. Omnidirectional radio transmissions spread so quickly that they fall below the noise floor almost instantly over interstellar distances.

Space is really really really really big. We can see stars. We can just barely see some planets in a few very specific configurations. We can sometimes make coarse estimates of the chemical composition of those planets. And that's about it. We don't really know how to detect life on extrasolar planets. The ones we've already found could be teeming with life and we wouldn't know it.

It seems to me we go through life with little exceptional circumstances all the time, and go right back to normal pretty easily.

Is it that hard to imagine having a holiday not disrupting the weekly rhythm of your life? For example, there's a group I go to every Wednesday. But since Christmas and New Year's are both Wednesdays, it's being skipped two weeks in a row. On the other hand, if Christmas and New Year's "didn't count" then we could carry on without changing the schedule, getting in the way of other standing plans, etc.
I think it's time we stop looking for life near other stars and start saving our own. This planet is completely neglected. You want to live on Mars? That should be fun, without a magnetic core. Living underground, like rats.

Where (In the US) to Hide from Mother Nature
Living in a VAT Post-Soviet country, I am not sure if that argument about "hitting harder the poor" is true, if VAT system is not specially aligned against the poor, which was the case in my country earlier times of Post-Soviet transition, but has changed recently.

The thing about VAT is that it is multilateral, and applies to many types of business-to-business transactions as well to business-to-consumer, so all the suppliers in the chain pay their share, not only the consumer.

And, given by pure numbers, the value provided by VAT paid by business is pretty significant. In some implementations (such as my country one), business share of VAT can not be less than final consumer's VAT, because consumer has paid VAT only once, while any producing business, was paying VAT for any transaction by any supplier.

The argument about aligning VAT against the poor, is that, given corrupt government being in power, some business can easily avoid paying VAT, or pay only small percentage of it.

This was (and, to some extent, still is) the case in my country (Ukraine), due to existence of so-called "VAT Refunds" scheme, which allowed many oligarchs to concentrate big amounts of value during 90s-00s.
The scheme is easy as using non-market practices such as paying less VAT than their competitors, and being not punished then due to law loopholes passed by cronies in the state legislation.

The new governments, after 2014 Maidan revolution, being pressured by country's civil community, and also the international community, have started to remove many types of "VAT Refunds" scheme loopholes.
That's why many oligarchs already went bust, and many are going to, just because their enterprises are now required to pay their share of VAT, and can not survive competition in changed reality.

So in reality, implementing proper VAT system requires powerful government, and also VAT does not survive lobbyism and cronyism.
My problem with UBI is

1. It's not fair work-sharing, if people can live on it.

2. There's no economic mechanism that guarantees we'll have enough money to fund it every month.

I propose another solution. Accessible, high paying jobs. If someone is unskilled, train them. Once they are skilled, guide them to useful work.
If this is all you need use age with a password/passphrase (scrypt). It does exactly what you want.

Answer is: never. The average person in the West has already surpassed the comfort and standard of living of the average monarch a couple centuries ago, but instead of settling we want more: traveling, more and more advanced tech, vast amount of entertainment, etc.

Consider the multi-billion dollar media productions (games, TV series, movies, music, books, etc.) that you can access at the command of your voice vs. the same ol' jester, resident poet or occasional travelling theater company that were the only option for a monarch not so many centuries ago.
Certainly one plausible future is that, if your video isn't making them money after some period, you either pay them some ongoing fee to keep it live or they delete it. After all, that's the model for most other hosted content.

Exactly. Whether or not you think that Facebook is a monopoly, none of the Democratic candidates (or at least, none of the candidates that are serious) are talking about making a bunch of Facebook clones.

They're talking about reversing mergers that many people claim were problematic (WhatsApp and Instagram). They're talking about forcing companies to give up the benefit of 1st-party access to the platforms they maintain.

That's a much more narrow, targeted change than saying, "let's just make another Facebook", which is what I see people interpreting it as.

> If you're using a regressive VAT tax to pay for UBI you are not redistributing wealth

Sure you are. Joe Teach pays $5000/year in VAT and gets a $10,000/year UBI, $5000/year is being transferred to him. Carlton Moneypenny pays $50,000/year in VAT and gets a $10,000/year UBI, $40,000/year is being transferred away from him.

> much of which will be lost as the prices of goods increases to match equilibrium

But then you would collect more VAT at the same rate, which would fund a larger UBI. By the time that reaches steady state it's a wash.

On top of that, VAT is great for people who are in debt (i.e. the poor), because no more income tax means they can pay down their existing debt with money they would have otherwise lost to income tax.

> Amazon won't "pay the tax" it will pass the tax along in the form of higher consumer prices.

The party who pays more of the tax is the party whose alternatives have gotten worse instead of better. For an individual, saving has just gotten more attractive relative to spending, so Amazon will have to keep the price of that stupid knickknack lower in order to get people to still buy it instead of banking the money and collecting interest on it to spend next year.

Meanwhile it's now the case that the tax applies to Amazon and not just their smaller, less international competitors, so Amazon would start losing business to them if they don't keep prices low by eating more of the tax.

> If the primary concern is tax evasion, there are many ways to improve this while still maintaining progressive taxation.

Not really. The primary problem is that shifting profits to other jurisdictions with lower taxes is easy to do and hard to prevent, and then there are no "profits" in the jurisdiction with the progressive tax, which turns the "progressive" tax into a massively regressive tax since the richest pay nothing.

The best way to fix it is to make everyone pay the same rate (so the rich can't avoid it) and then make it progressive by giving everyone a fixed refund (UBI), which gives you the effective rate curve a progressive income tax is supposed to have except that international corporations can't avoid it by declaring profits in Ireland.

> The world is full of capital

Wouldnt that same argument apply to people fighting for democracy in the age of monarchy? Why try to get rid of the king when he will just be replaced by a president? Dont even bother.

Obviously power structures and concentration of power always exist in some form, but that doesn't mean we should never try to rein it in on occassion.
> I often find myself saying "we can easily look that up".

Maybe I need to clarify, with "you can't lookup informations" I meant a meeting (or an exam) it's not the place and moment where you verify if a piece of information is valid or to learn something completely new, it's the place and moment where you put what you already know about something at work.

Knowledge is mainly about recognising patterns, if you know something can be solved with a certain formula you can look it up, it's not easy to keep everything in mind, but you have to already know what to lookup (at least the general domain of the problem)

In my experience if I attend a meeting about (for example) implementing the new company SSO component, I go there assuming we all know what an SSO component is, what it does and that each participant understands the problem for their angle (business, technical, legal etc. etc.)

This would make the days of the week always cycle synchronously with the days of the month.

If you are going to redo something like a calendar, ending up still having different length months and weeks that drift against them seems like a non-victory.

I have my own problems with UBI, but as far as 'fair work sharing', the presumption would be that the work is done 99% by machines, where you don't need to be 'fair' & the remaining 1% could be highly compensated.
That doesn’t satisfy the requirement “only do string processing and substitution on the numbers”.

One can do this as follows (edit: spot the bug; this algorithm is broken, but can be easily fixed):

- Take the number as a string : "13565172345474789047"
- remove all 0s, 3s, 6s, and 9s: “155172454747847”
- replace all 4s and 7s by 1s : "155112151111811"
- replace all 5s and 8s by 2s : "122112121111211"
- sort the string’s characters : "111111111122222"
- replace all ‘111’ by ‘’ : "122222"
- replace all ‘222’ by ‘’ : "122"
- replace ’12’ by ’’ repeatedly: "2"
(you have to do this at most two times)

(proving that none of these steps changes the sum of the digits of the number (mod 3) is easy, as each step changes the sum by a multiple of 3)

⇒ that number is 2 (mod 3)

Correct. The hard threshold is 40.
I have a somewhat nihilistic theory around the Fermi paradox. What if all intelligent life annihilates itself before reaching high enough technical proficiency to achieve widespread inter-planetary travel (or time travel). The idea is that intelligent life emerges from the process of evolution (natural selection) where the stronger survive. But that leaves you with people who have the tendency to kill each other and themselves off. As the technological ability to completely annihilate ourselves increases the probability that it will eventually happen goes up over time. As technological prowess increases and population increases, intelligent species eventually destroy themselves by using up all their resources or ruin the planet with climate destruction before achieving inter-planetary capability. Similar to how yeast will reproduce until they all kill themselves off in their own waste product (alcohol). It is possible that this is a universal axiom, hence intelligent life does not spread across the galaxy. I know this is a depressing thought but it's an idea that has haunted me once it occurred to me.

The Power Law and Your Career
When you tax corporations, they don't simply make less profits, they embed the tax losses in their prices and pay less to workers. You, as a consumer or employee, end up paying that tax.
The thing is, why "5-20"? That's a super narrow range. The parameters would have to be tuned to a very small degree to produce just a handful of technological species in a galaxy.

A much larger range of the parameter-space could produce either thousands+ of technological species (which we have pretty good evidence is not the case) or less than one on average pretty galaxy.

So we have the options:

Lots of species (contradicted by the evidence)

A handful of species (inherently unlikely)

Very few species (current best bet)
