"Doesn't sound good" contributes nothing to the discussion.

It's racist and discriminatory, I just didn't deem it necessary to use such direct, harsh language about what many consider a touchy subject.

it's ridiculous to suggest I "like" Jews more than I "like" white people

I used Jews as an example because Post-WW2 teachings of Jewish suppression would make the comparison more relatable to most people. That plus their relative per-person power distribution is more comparable to whites than, say, African Americans, making the comparison more fair. Use whatever group you like in substitution. The point is that you interpret such messages differently if the person is part of your "tribe."

Your fixation on personal preference shows how little of this you understand.

This moves into personal attack. That's unproductive.

See, this just comes off as reactionary, as if saying "I believe in systemic racism" somehow secretly casts a vote for progressive policies behind your back. Is it really so hard to say "I believe that our institutions are systemically racist, and I believe that egalitarianism is best facilitated by the market"? It just seems strange to get caught up in the "culture war" notions that terms are getting co-opted for agendas and the like, when we can just address the actual issues themselves.

Also, if you believe that institutions discriminate against Black people, is the direct implication not that Whites are privileged over them in these spaces?

And as for school choice, my understanding was that the research showed that school choice worsened racial education outcomes, like this paper claims [1]. I know I've seen other research to this effect, but this is just one of the first results of google scholar. If nothing else, I would assume that any school choice policy must be coupled with a progressive transportation program, lest that choice become determined by geographic disparities, which because of segregation policies both on the books and within people's historical preferences, just bakes in racial disparities.

Regardless, to act like school choice is some kind of underground counter-culture movement to a progressive-dominated education system, when Betsy DeVoss is Secretary of Education, seems misguided at best. I don't know why you feel the need to dance around terms like "systemic racism" as if it will inadvertently empower a progressive movement when that progressive movement isn't even in power.

"failure disguised as success" is a profound insight.

The Silicon Valley version of this is raising a lot of money when you don't have product-market fit or the right co-founder or both. Getting other people to commit millions of dollars to a bad idea or the wrong team is a great way to waste years of your life. It leads to what I call perverse persistence -- not letting go until long after you should have.
If this is naive, then please change my view, since I know nothing about web marketing! My opinion:

> Liquid hydrogen has about four times the volume for the same amount of energy of kerosene based jet-fuel. In addition, its highly volatile nature precludes storing the fuel in the wings, as with conventional transport aircraft. Therefore, most liquid hydrogen aircraft designs store the fuel in the fuselage, leading to a larger fuselage length and diameter than a conventional kerosene fuelled aircraft. This lowers the performance due to the extra wetted area of the fuselage. The larger fuselage size causes more skin friction drag and wave drag. On the other hand, hydrogen is about one-third of the weight of kerosene jet-fuel for the same amount of energy. This means that for the same range and performance (ignoring the effect of volume), the hydrogen aircraft would have about one-third of the fuel weight. For a Boeing 747-400 type aircraft, this would reduce the takeoff gross weight from 360,000 to 270,000 kg (800,000 to 600,000 lb). Thus, the performance of a hydrogen-fueled aircraft is a trade-off of the larger wetted area and lower fuel weight. This trade-off depends essentially on the size of the aircraft. [1]

I fed the beginning of this post into GPT-3 and it came up with these additional thoughts. I’m extremely interested in how voice interfaces can be improved with a language model like this.

Unedited GPT-3 output:
“““
I think this problem is especially bad when you have to use a specific vocabulary, and when you have to speak in a specific order. It’s not just the laggy UI, it’s the idea that your vocabulary and phrasing is not flexible. The laggy UI is an artifact of that lack of flexibility.
I don’t think it’s hard to understand how frustrating that can be.
A lot of people in the voice community are concerned with “flow”. This is the idea that the conversation should just flow, that we shouldn’t have to interrupt it to do work.
Flow can be achieved in other interfaces by turning off prompts, and putting in defaults. But it’s hard to do in voice. First, if you have to wait too long, then you are in trouble. Second, you can’t do defaults, because the only way to get the answer is to wait for the user to speak.
I think that is true. But there are ways to achieve a kind of flow, by turning off prompts and being very responsive. We don’t have to show you all the information on the screen at once. We can use highlights to let you know the computer is paying attention, or make use of non-visual modalities to let you know something happened. If we show you something on the screen, it’s because we are trying to convey something important, and you’ll be able to act on it, but we can’t expect you to act on everything.
Even with this in mind, flow is a design principle, not a technical requirement. I don’t think we should design systems that are trying to achieve flow, because it’s very hard to do. I do think we should design systems that are responsive and forgiving.
Voice systems have a unique capability: they can communicate with you without being able to see you. This is the key to being able to make an AI feel more like a person. If I could have a computer read my mind, that would be much more powerful than if it just read my words. This is the reason that voice is so compelling, and why it’s so interesting to implement it.
Flow is a principle of interaction design, and it’s about putting in a lot of work to make a system seem less work. Voice does not make interaction feel less work. In fact, voice can be the opposite. It is work. Voice requires us to work harder, and because it is so personal, we feel that more.
Voice is a more intimate interface. You are using your voice to speak to a computer.
There is a large class of problems which are better solved with a screen. I believe this to be

That seems to miss a point, at least for Rome. Much of the work was done by slaves. Saying that it cycled to "capitalist styled policies" or "socialist styled policies" may apply to the free people, but for the slaves, life didn't change much. Given how much of the economy was driven by slave labor, I'm not sure that the swings changed things all that much.
You ever tried to buy an IBM Thinkpad? There are like 20,000 configurations displayed on the same single website page. It’s a disaster shopping for pre-assembled PC’s.
Most PC manufacturers have dozens of different laptops and about 70% of them should be avoided (bad screen, still using a HDD, etc). I dislike a lot about Apple including the pricing per spec and the arrogance (it took you how long to fix your broken keyboard?) but one thing they usually get right is the simplified selection process within a few categories.
"Five days before the House even approved the articles of impeachment on Dec. 18, McConnell took to television to say he would be in "total coordination with the White House counsel" as the impeachment process moved forward.

"During an interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News, McConnell said that "everything" he does "during this, I'm coordinating with the White House counsel. There will be no difference between the president's position and our position as to how to handle this, to the extent that we can."" (https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/politics/mitch-mc...)

"But it evidently has great value to the president and to Mr. McConnell, who had spent nearly a year preparing for it. From the instant that Democrats assumed power in the House last January, denying that they had any intention of impeaching Mr. Trump, Mr. McConnell, a six-term Kentuckian and the longest-serving Senate Republican leader, directed his staff to quietly dig into the history of impeachments and consult with outside experts.

"“We thought they would finally work themselves up to doing this on something,” Mr. McConnell said. “It has been threatened endlessly. We needed to come up to speed on what actually happens, and that began in earnest last fall.”

"So when Mr. McConnell fielded a phone call from Mr. Trump days before Christmas, he was ready. Stung by the House vote to impeach him on two charges, the president reached out to the majority leader from his Mar-a-Lago retreat in Palm Beach, Fla., throwing out ideas about how to handle his coming Senate trial.

"Mr. McConnell had a reassuring response for the third president ever to face removal by the Senate, urging Mr. Trump to trust him to manage the confrontation." (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/06/us/trump-impeachment.html)

Anecdotally from listening to police scanners, whenever there's an areawide BOLO notice or anything exciting involving a known party, they always say where the last "cellphone ping" was. E.g.

The problem with biofuels in aviation is that the most common available forms have... problems with storage and weight of the system. Because ethanol evaporates too fast, which is the same reason why aviation still uses leaded gasoline, and why ethanol additives are very limited.

Love SOCCER? ML/CV ENGINEER? Read on!!

I’m leading a team of 6 through the development of an AI camera that auto-record soccer games, mainly focused on youth soccer. Our mission is to help young athletes get discovered and improve.

I’m the sole founder of this project, and I feel like it’s time for me to bring on an ML/CV engineer as a co-founder or team member. I’m very good with my time and managing the project, but I’ve come to a point where to successfully and efficiently keep up the momentum I need someone I can count on to spearhead the AI development.

We’ve made significant progress in the last 12 months: Our ML model is around 60% complete. Our video stitching software is nearly finished. Community building is strong on social media. We have interest from local teams to try the product. A local investor (LA) is mentoring us.

If you have extra time in your hands, good at what you do, want to push boundaries in the intersection of sports and AI, feeling ready to become a co-founder, take commitments seriously, and want to make real change in youth sports then let’s chat more about the project and get to know each other.

What agenda is that?

(Additionally, PPP is a model someone can use, but it's hardly agreed upon universally as the correct model for equivalent spend value. It's a "basket of goods" model, influenced by the goods chosen. At worst, Politifact is guilty of making a judgement call based on a choice of metric that reasonable people can disagree on, which is hardly "a lie" that "pushes an agenda").
It's security theater, much like the TSA. The temperature guns used at restaurants at gyms seem hard-coded to 97.7F but at least everyone involved can say they were "doing their part" to stop the spread. Whether it works is of secondary importance to making people feel like something is being done, even though in practice there's very little anyone can do.
