Not in economics they are not. Negative Income Tax is a poverty prevention plan, designed to ensure people are not living in poverty

>>> We tried to fix healthcare with a bipartisan policy, and you all threw a hissy-fit and decided to do everything in your power to make it fail.

Well first off lets get one thing perfectly clear, I am not Republican. I am Libertarian. Republicans want far more government than I do, and I believe all income based taxation is theft. I want people to be able to protect their marijuana gardens with fully automatic machine guns. So my positions do not align with either Republicans or Democrats as both parties are generally Authoritarian in nature simply arguing over what area's of my life they want to control never arguing if they have the ethical or moral right to that control

As to "fix healthcare with a bipartisan policy" which of those exactly where suppose to fix Healthcare? Certainly not ACA.

yes socialists have always been a part of the Democrat party, a minor one. Even Bernie Sanders from 2016 and Bern Sanders in 2020 is WIDELY different having shifted FAR to the left on many issues including immigration (in 2016 is was very much against open boarders, in 2020 he is now not only for Open Boarders but giving everyone in the world Free Medical Care paid for by stealing money from US Workers if that is not extreme left well...)

Could someone quickly summarize how a stateful game is best implemented in a purely functional language, like here?

Is there a main tail-recursive function which takes any inputs that have appeared since the last iteration and adds them to the arguments for the next recursive call? The global state would evolve as the arguments of that tail-recursive function over time?

Any state-evolution would need to be made by creating new data-structures out of existing ones, not by modifying the existing data-structures, to be "pure". So in essence the whole state of game-world would need to be copied for each iteration? What's the trick that makes it efficient enough to be usable?

As in they're under a license agreement that prohibits open-sourcing?

Presumably unless it's specifically prohibited then they could release their code with holes where the licensed content goes, which would bump the problem up the chain to the next layer of owners and allow people to focus on them? Or let people adapt the codebase to work around the other libraries (or whatever)??

There is no argument for why the LSH would work well, especially at the beginning of training. As the weights are initially random, bucket assignment would be random as well. If predicting at position A requires info from position B, but they are not in the same bucket, there will be no gradient to get the query embedding of A closer to the key embedding of B. The reversible layer trick is neat though.

I can't really follow your logic there. In my mind for something to be predatory it should be your pretty much only option while promising you the world, an end to your tough situation. If you have a choice and you end up worse off, you just got into a bad deal is all. The deal is fair because both parties thought it was a good deal, no one was forced or desperate. There was no scam involved either (everyone got what they were promised). I can't see how that can be predatory, or even unfair.

I was a RoR developer for two years and immensely enjoyed coding in Ruby, well technically, RoR(Ruby on Rails). It was in a startup and features were being developed at a rapid pace and it really felt like the right choice. But I also noticed that as companies grow they have problems with the maintenance of the code as well as the performance like twitter moving away.

Great name and interesting business.
I mean affordability as in people will do it and cover other expenses.

It’s clearly a huge cost, but you need consider it as part of a larger lifestyle. A 30 day unlimited subway ticket only costs 127$. By comparison it’s difficult to spend that much under 500$/ month on a car including taxes, insurance, financing, maintenance, fuel, maintenance, and depreciation (aka the actual cost of a car every n years).

Which makes it comparable to ~950$ a month rent + car which is still around 100$ over your suggestion, but not the insanity it may seem like. After graduation I was in a roughly similar situation at my first job with a 1050$/month apartment with a car in Fairfax VA on a 38,000$/year salary that included heath insurance for 150/month. This was 2003, but I also had student loans to pay back.
The "Max problem" is not the specific engineering defect that happened to manifest with the 737 Max.

Instead, the "Max problem" is the set of organizational, cultural and managerial issues that cut corners, misled regulators and prioritized profits over safety.

MCAS defects are not the problem, they're a symptom of the problem.

And these messages about the 777X are more symptoms of the same problem.
I am curious how you achieve encapsulation this way, please elaborate (I tried to find uses for this pattern. Even the author of the code I'm talking about, and other much better C++ programmers than myself seemed to call this an oversight rather than intent).

I have myriad issues with the personal ethics of the owners of Chick-fil-A - but their model does make sense to me.

They're clearly not just wanting to sell their brand - they're wanting to own their brand.

The 10k is just a token - It's maybe more than you have in your clearing account, but a figure that most people could likely produce and is just an indicator that "you're serious"

Important part is that they put you through the grinder to make sure you're the person they want to run their store. To be honest just looks like a regular job interview - with the exception that they charge you to join the company, but you get a cut of the profits.

Not even sure if they're in the UK yet, but you can see the converse with Subway that keeps appearing all over the place, despite not having any customers.

Isn't the primary reason why games don't get release to avoid them competing with modern games for gamers focus. Like if I spend time playing older games then I'm not going to spend as much time on newer games so I don't need to spend as much money per hour of game time.

This is a proof that copyright terms are too long IMO.

Unless someone is actively selling a work, ie you can buy it, then the work should lapse in to the public domain. The appropriate IP office could issue a decision, on request and payment of a fee, saying who the current seller is or that no seller was found and so the work is PD. Indications could then be presented in the relevant countries IP journals saying "work X" will fall into PD on $DATE which would allow interested parties to intervene before the certificate was issued (ie saving their copyright) by saying where the work was available. Test purchases could be carried out to ensure companies don't hide their saleable works.

I think either of these acceptance rates are computed by casting the widest net possible.

Quote the opposite. In a Forbes (or similar business publication) last month it stated that Chick-Fil-A is very selective about who it allows to have a franchise. It gets something like 20,000 applications each year but only awards a few franchises.

Apparently the biggest factor in getting a franchise is whether the owner has a demonstrated history of investment and involvement in the community.

To add to this there are* serious issues with naming. I wrote an app that ran on IPFS last year and throughout testing there was a persistent problem with needing to issue the testers with a new hash/link for each new version because IPNS, IPFS' decentralized naming solution, effectively doesn't work. It's supposed to give each node a unique name which can be repeatedly mapped to different hashes but publishing a new name -> hash mapping can take several minutes and then lookup of that name can take several minutes even on the node that published it in the first place. Names also need to be republished every 24 hours or so or they disappear from the network, which in my opinion harms the claims of decentralization.

Why is that any worse than, say, starting with randomly initialized weights in general?
Here's my experience based off of getting pretty good at playing combat flight sims.

First of all, the propellers on some of these larger planes are pretty huge. Look at this schematic for a Corsair... the propeller sweeps out an area that's like three times larger than the fuselage. You could easily be firing to the left and to the right of the enemy without actually hitting anything:
https://drawingdatabase.com/vought-f4u-corsair/

Actually the problem is even worse than it looks for the Corsair because this is a relatively fat plane with a huge propeller, fighting svelte Zeroes and 109's.

Next, sometimes the guns have to be spaced further out than you'd like them to be because of other constraints like the positioning of the wheel wells for the landing gear. The Spitfire has pretty wide-mounted guns as a result:
https://drawingdatabase.com/supermarine-spitfire/

Regarding the difficulty of making the shot: you're right, it's very hard to hit a propeller-sized target at a relatively close 300m. If you're both maneuvering, you have to lead the target while compensating for bullet drop, gravity, side-slip, g-loading, convergence, etc. So the general approach is to envision a circle where you think your aim needs to be (based on all those factors above), start firing at the bottom of that circle, then gradually pull up and sweep your fire through the middle and top of the circle. The better your aim, the tighter you can make that circle and the quicker you can sweep through it. The poorer the gunnery characteristics of your aircraft (gun accuracy, rate of fire, convergence, number of guns, etc.), the larger that circle has to be--even if you otherwise have great aim.

If your guns are parallel, or set to a convergence that doesn't really match the current distance to the target, the trick above doesn't work. You'll just send a wall of bullets to the left of the target and another wall to the right, but have nothing hitting the tail. You might hit a wing if you're lucky, but wings are extremely thin from a rear aspect and one or two 50cal's isn't going to rip off a wing anyway.

So that's why center-mounted, or at least wingroot-mounted guns are much more comfortable to aim; there's just one less factor to compensate for.

On the other hand, one notable disadvantage of firing through the propeller is that the synchronizer reduces your rate of fire a bit. Whenever the gun is ready to fire but a propeller blade is coming up, the gun has to idle for a bit. Guns mounted further out can just fire at their maximum rate.

(Of course, on the other other hand, mounting heavy things like guns and ammo boxes further from the fuselage reduces the plane's roll rate, which you need to line up the shot in the first place! ... I'll stop here)

The whole state of the game doesn't need to be copied per se - if you use efficient functional data structures then only the parts of the state you modify are copied, the rest of the unchanged data structure is referenced directly.

I'm in the same boat about RoR. I just find its size to be overkill for most uses. Hanami is considerably smaller and lightweight, but not to the point where it's more of a micro-framework (like Roda). I've been happy with it for a number of microservices and some larger websites.
the parent already posted it but it's worth repeating - you're seeing the effect of multiple miles of air between the object and the lens.
You can't really compare it to "any other job", since a franchise owner needs to front (or be able to raise via loans or investment) a cool million or two just to get started.

$150k-$250k/year is a fairly nice ROI for even $2M (though taking on loans or investment changes the math), but the calculation gets a little murkier when you factor in additionally needing to work 60 hours/week, six days/week to keep it coming in.

Put another way, if you already have access to $2M, $150k-$250k/year might not seem all that attractive when compared to what you've done prior to that.

ya know what. when opera presto had feature parity with chrome, developers still walled their websites with useragent checks so for your average joe nothing worked and it created a negative feedback loop of users blaming the browser and devs avoiding supporting it. what else could they do? with chromium engine opera suddenly worked (lol).. there was still a lot of value on top of that, like a native speed dial that wasnt harvesting your data, fantastic bookmark management, a free vpn (yeah not for the ultraparanoid but still useful), tons of customization options, etc. its sad opera was sold and its days are probably numbered
'If you flew, say, 10 times a year rather than 365.25, all on the 737 Max, it's a fraction of a percent chance.'

This works out to around 0.2% (1 in 2000) which is spectacularly poor odds for modern aviation where the typical risk of a crash on a single commercial airliner is around 1 in 5 million (less than 1 in 100 000 for 10 flights per year over 50 years - so basically 50 times less safe).
