Just look at tensorflow. It masquerades as enabling open source ai, while really pushing people to pricey, proprietary google cloud compute. How these ppl can keep a straight face, I have no idea.
No.

But I still think short selling is absurd and I don’t understand why we allow it. If you don’t think a company will do well then don’t buy their stocks. Simple as that. I don’t know why we allow seemingly infinite market gambling that benefits no one except the gamblers.
Which books are you thinking of? The one on that list that most obviously sticks out to me as religious is A Canticle for Leibowitz, and I would say it leans much more in the direction of making us contend with the failings of humanity in a cold and empty universe than in the direction of body horror.
Thanks for clarifying. I don’t see why the Paris Agreement is a useful analog for a carbon tax. A carbon tax doesn’t depend on the good faith of partner countries, but the border adjustment itself incentivizes other countries to reduce their emissions (they want to trade with us). The more wealthy countries who implement a carbon tax with border adjustment, the stronger this incentive mechanism becomes. There is a political problem in getting a larger block of wealthy countries on board, but it’s not unrealistic to think of Europe and North America forming that initial block, and surely there’s enough wealth in those markets that it would incentivize other countries to get on board.

In whatever case, I can’t imagine an environmental solution that won’t have the same (or worse) political problems. As far as I can tell, border adjuster carbon tax most neatly and efficiently aligns incentives.
Humans are what, about 99.9% similar to each other on average? So that gives me 3 nines belief that yes, if I can understand, then you can understand; we're just humans after all. I think that you're being sarcastic; once we define categories, Cartesian closed categories, and elementary topoi, then categorical set theory is a straightforward sequence of diagram schemata. But I understand your point!

You're super-close to a deep realization: all words are only sensical to certain subcultures. IOW there's no absolute meaning to any word. In that perspective, we're both right; "1" is meaningless and 1 is categorical, and it's just a question of pointers vs. names.

Another quick and deep corollary is that reality is socially constructed; whenever a quorum of humans is mutually intelligible during a conversation, then they are agreeing on the local nature of reality. Humans can't construct global maps of reality, though, since they can't observe the Universe all at once. Indeed global maps of reality are forbidden by the Kochen-Specker Theorem.

Edit: To clarify for the audience, I have no appeal to higher categories here, and the definitions of category theory are not some sort of categorization or classification process, but axiomatic definitions akin to set theory.
A tale of two political systems (2013)
Why not present them in black and white ways?

Greyness comes with crafting a collage of black and white?

Why must my personal position take into account a composite greyness if it means being put into an office setting I am not productive in?

Why bend myself to an arbitrary greyness?

Our social laws should acknowledge the greyness and avoid empowering a uni-culture that leans towards one choice? Efficiency != resiliency.

Rather than commit to the one size fits all dragged in the direction of currency holders. Complete lack of acceptance a nations currency is propped up by the greyness in opinions

I don’t care who has memorized what facts. The fact remains they’re not a god
This is interesting to me

I watched some videos of Trevor Milton. He has ZERO signs he is faking

HOWEVER

A) Just because someone's body language and presentation is PERFECT doesn't mean they are telling the truth. They might have convinced themselves of the lie

B) The Truck Video is SUPER DODGY. It's shot from an angle that makes it impossible to tell what the incline angle is. It could VERY easily be just a truck with no engine rolling down a slight incline

C) The walkthroughs etc. Trevor Milton does are SUPER DODGY.

Elon Musk with Tesla talks about crazy things that might never happen (Full Auto Pilot Level 5 Driving) but half of the crazy stuff he DELIVERS

Trevor Milton seems to be just as good as Musk at promising things, but so far has not delivered anything

*

On the one hand, it would be great if Nikola delivers a great truck

Competition for Tesla

Death to these parasitic short sellers

ON THE OTHER HAND

Don't see what exactly is the VALUE Nikola is providing. GM is building everything. So is Nikola's contribution selling a great story ???

It's like Musk's ability to sell stories, but lacking Musk's abilities to

A) get subsidies from the government
B) actually deliver products

Trevor Milton and Nikola are getting money from the stock market. That comes with a lot of dangers which government contracts and subsidies do not

> And that's one of the key reasons why China has been able to catch up... he thinks the US is still ahead of China in tech innovation, for now. But that the gap is narrowing fast.

Which is awesome.

Because framing it as "ahead" or a "gap" is completely backwards. Innovation isn't a competition or zero-sum game.

Innovation coming out of China benefits the world, just like innovation coming out of the US does. What matters is the total.

How about we be thankful that there are now so many more scientists the world over contributing to research and knowledge? How amazing is that for the human race?

Now, if there's an article that actually proves US innovation is slowing compared to itself in the past somehow, that actually measures total results rather than government-funded inputs (e.g. including private funding and taking impact/effectiveness into account, not just # of papers published)... then I'd be very interested in that.

But this article isn't that. This article is just cheap nationalism. Ugh.

I am not a grammar nazi. I am not even a fucking native English speaker, but what the fuck??? Why is this mistake so prevalent these days?
I'm a little curious about the (allegedly?) rigged demos.

There's dozens of youtube garage tinkers who could slam some off the shelf parts into a random salvage chassis in under a week. Maybe they won't meet many performance targets but they'll at least be able to show something moving under its own power. The point is, making one electric or H2 vehicle is a very low bar now. Making one manufacturable, and a production line to do it, is the hard problem.

So why show a nonworking sham?

I'm not blaming Intel "for being a monopoly." If anything, I am blaming Intel for letting a dominant position that benefited the US slip away.
Good explanation.

To expand on that, earthquakes and volcanoes are the result of those plates colliding and separating.
> Even the giga-factories don’t look anything like the designs they promoted. They look like, well every other car factory.

It turns out there's a reason factories look the way they do.

Much better to design the production process first and then fit a building around it than to try and fit the production process into a pre-designed building that's made too look pretty.
Did you believe short sellers are "parasites" before Elon Musk started ranting about them, or did you get this idea from him?

If I had a dime for every time a big company I've worked at has investigated the licenses of the software it uses, I'd have fifty cents.

People tend to forget that big companies are really just collections of normal people who are not lawyers and don't even think about licenses. If 5 levels of managers haven't all been explicitly instructed to read random software licenses or they're fired, the engineer's not gonna do it unless they feel like it, and most don't feel like it. It mostly only comes up when legal goes out of their way to make a stink about it, and they're not just continuously demanding license information.

Agreed, but I still don't think people should have to. It should just be default. It feels like saying, "if you didn't want them to rob you, you should have written 'can not rob me' into the contract"

> I don't think that was the problem this law is trying to solve.

Also agreed. It seems clear to me what the law is trying to solve. If Uber/Lyft win this, then there's no reason for any company to not just reclassify every employee they've ever had as an independent contractor.

If Uber/Lyft win this fight, there's zero reason for McDonalds to not say, "oh, our franchisee's don't have any employees. Those folks in the kitchen are all independent culinary artists, who use our Nationwide Mealtime App Platform to bid on various 4-hour shifts across our network of franchise-owned kitchens. Each one of those people are absolutely all their own employers, and fully control their means of employment, so long as they produce McNuggets and BigMacs to our exact specifications (which are so precise only for your own health and safety and freshness, of course, and definitely not because we are some sort of employer directing their labour)"
> TikTok provides a large amount of useful data that can be converted into a machine learning dataset or used for manual analysis. Also, media research allows an understanding of trends dynamic for creating the most popular account.

My crystal ball forecasts that a data analyst or brokerage company will use this to harvest mountains of data and it will be placed on an unprotected and exposed S3 bucket on the internet.

Wait 3 - 4 months and a security researcher later finds that it has been already breached and this data trove discovery will make it top on HN. TikTok will apologize for this (again).

If you want your office management contractor to use a cleaning company that pays a living wage you can... put that in your contract with them!

I think some companies literally do this already.

We already have solutions to these problems!

And if your contractor says it cannot comment on something and you’re not happy with that response, go with someone else.
Does anyone have issue with the name of company besides me?

I mean the largest EV manufacturer is Tesla and they name their company Nikola?

It’s like years ago when public companies would rebrand as blockchain companies and see their stock soar.
If Hindenburg weren't financially incentivized to uncover this fraud, it seems likely they would not have bothered and many more people would get scammed by Nikola.
They do have drivable prototypes now (of the Two, not the One) and there's plenty of videos. How well designed/built they are is another question.
I think the mantra of "Make simple things easy and hard things possible" applies here. These tools all do a poor job of the former.

Now, if you're writing a low-level tool (in git's terminology, plumbing), that doesn't matter as much, because it's designed to be wrapped; maintainability and (interface) stability probably take priority over being maximally intuitive. But if you're writing a tool for end users (including developers), some focus on UX is warranted.

(How much each of these tools are intended for end users, can be argued separately, not by me)

Endless babel from that region of the US we care the least about: NY
As someone living in Germany, I also found cars in the city to be shit but they're a necessary evil for those who need to commute long distances not covered by quick and frequent public transport(like subways) since it's not like the city/government will build bike paths and public transportation to fit everyone's home2work route.

There's a bus to my workplace but it's every 30 minutes, so if I miss it, that's 30 minutes of my day wasted waiting for the next one. Or I could get a car and get there whenever I can/want and have more free time for myself at home. The choice wasn't difficult.
I've often found people praising WFH during CoVid times by viewing it as an opportunity to pursue their pass-times, I love the great outdoors/traveling and have found the CoVid restrictions stifling my pass times. I'm at a point where I don't hate WFH but I hate WFH during the CoVid time. I see a lot of articles extrapolating the WFH during CoVid time to WFH in general, I think these are two different things.
I run tensorflow on my laptop for small jobs, and AWS for big ones or in production. Not sure what the "push" is supposed to be.
Sure, but their goal has always been to simply appeal to their base rather than to evangelize the gospel of the GOP. They're far too partisan an institution to be attempting a shot like that.

The difference is that the left-leaning news institutions make up the bulk of the "mainstream media" and they're now just a mirror-image of fox news. And their winning strategy in 2020 is not to become the clone of the right's repugnant rhetoric. The winning strategy should be to convert the moderates or those slightly right of center; yet the more they assume the shape of Fox News the less disingenuous they appear, which makes this task ever less likely. I literally have friends who were life long liberals 4 or 5 months ago who got sucked into some strange corners of the conspiratorial right wing web and many of their grievances are against the mainstream media. Many of which are hard to argue against.
Heh, how did I know you are going to appeal to infinity-categories at some point?

"defining categories" and their respective categorisation rules is the process of classification. They don't account for the classifiers themselves.

You are super-close to a deeper realisation even.

If any notation is meaningful (even one that uses symbols like ∞), then it's Turing-recognisable.

Type-0 Chomsky grammar. In formal languages syntax is semantics.

In so far as understanding (comprehension?) goes, you could say that I subscribe to the axiom of unrestricted comprehension. It's rather un-Mathematical doing so.

> The US Government spent the money and effectively donated trillions in profits to the rich elites of today.

Those rich elites being everybody who uses a computer. Basic scientific research is the paradigmatic case of where the government should be spending money. The rich don’t get better iPhones, they barely get better computers considering how fast the state of the art advances. There may be fields where something resembling your argument has some truth to it but basic research in computing and computing hardware isn’t it.
What argument from authority is being made by anyone?

The GP decided, out of the blue, to accuse the author of never having written a line of C code in his life. That's kind of inappropriate in any context, IMO, but just downright laughable when the author is well-known for singlehandedly writing several compilers and a whole new language.

The Badger pickup partnership seems relatively safe for GM. At least the traditional electric one.

At the very least they are getting an aesthetically pleasing exterior design and a ready email list of potential buyers. And GM is capable of filling any vaporware gaps.

I share your opinion on the hydrogen semi truck though.
If I were to engage with you in a serious manner, it would imply that I agree with your view that the only morality is that which is in the constitution.

But I fundamentally disagree with that argument. And I mean _FUNDAMENTALLY_. I cannot agree that these practices in a country that doesn't have the 13 amendment are ok. I just can't.

I mean, I understand your argument. You believe these things should be ok in all countries that haven't explicitly outlawed it. But it's why we're fundamentally opposed. I believe it was reprehensible even BEFORE these countries outlawed it.

I mean, I get it, this is "arguing in bad faith"... "THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT". Of course it isn't because it's morally reprehensible. Of course that's not what you meant.

but...........

If the logical implications of your statement results in something morally reprehensible, than maaaaaaybe the statement itself is morally reprehensible...

juuuuuust something to think about from a "bad faith actor".

I saw El ángel exterminador and it was great, but I don't think it hints at any simulation. The phenomenon does not really need any literal explanation, but if I had to provide one, I would rather suggest a mystical occurrence or entity such as the "angel" hinted by the title, somehow triggered by the characters, and the seating solution may be a way of telling the humans to stay in their place.
Very good question!

I never really figured out how to find the good stuff on Youtube, so I simply don’t use it that much.

About 75% of the good stuff I have found was documentaries ripped from regular TV channels.
In this context, "that can't be tricked the way you propose". If you accurately measure the value human society puts on life (that is, avoiding the bias of, e.g. considering only a part of the population that may be privileged) then your only way to trick the metric is by actually increasing the value of human lives.
> - innovation in Europe can only scale if we achieve a higher degree of unity in Europe, including one common language, one common jurisdiction and law framework. Localization is just too expensive in Europe and hinders scaling.

If that were the cost, then it would not be worth the price. Fortunately, it is completely unnecessary. It suffices to look to when Europe was at her best.

Technology is mere instrument. What you describe is Procrustean cultural destruction to satisfy some metric. Technology is not the end, but a means that has its proper place. The destruction of the various cultures that make the world rich is a recipe for monoculture and thus lack of inspiration. A diverse and decentralized Europe permits the exchange of ideas to occur in an atmosphere of diverse cultures. "Scale" is about de facto standardization and standardization is a double edged sword, not an unalloyed good. If anything, scale is what makes monopolies possible.

The solution is not to create a bland mass of rootless "citizen consumers" crafted out of the corporate pop culture, though, to be honest, Europe is practically there already, wearily drifting along, preferring to keep warm. The solution is a fundamental awakening of Europeans to the deep roots of their civilization and what made it great. That's where the life force is. The EU is in practice a form of managed decline perpetrated by delusional ideologues, petty bureaucrats, and ignorant airheads. It is antithetical to a vibrant Europe so looking for a solution there is like asking a dictator of some banana republic what makes a vibrant country.
not only that but the fact that people used to take pleasure in curating less quantity

today is all about more music without having to even try, things done 'for' you, less work..

Can someone point me to these mainstream LED displays? Are we talking about calculators, or were there 80x25 terminals that used LEDs?

(Also interesting fact... "LED" was displayed capitalized on my screen but copy-pasted as lowercase. Indeed, in the DOM, the text is "led". I'm extra confused as to why someone would do that!)

If Hindenburg is correct, I believe they provided a valuable information service to market participants by researching, writing, and releasing that report.

It happens that the economic incentive arose from shorting, but could have just as easily come (less efficiently) from buying naked puts.
Not really. I am proposing a theoretical solution to a philosophical problem. You are the one jumping to imagining how it could be implemented in a biased way.
