How does the math work out here??

The total income of the top 1% is $2 trillion: https://taxfoundation.org/summary-latest-federal-income-tax-...

Meanwhile, there are 130 million full time workers: https://www.statista.com/statistics/192356/number-of-full-ti...

The chart in the middle shows that top 1% incomes would drop by half in the counter-factual scenario. If you redistribute that to 130 million full-time workers, that adds $7,650 per worker across the board. So how can you get $30,000 more at the 25th percentile and $40,000 more at the median?

The basic problem seems to be that the study assumes that taxable income should scale with per capita gdp growth. But it ignores that there are a bunch of other things in GDP besides personal income, and the proportions of each component can change over time: http://lmi.mt.gov/Portals/193/xBlog/uploads/2016/10/26/GDPvs...

There are a lot of things included in GDP that are not taxable personal income: social security contributions, net government transfers, etc. The RAND study looks at just taxable personal income. So if nothing else changes other than the fact that the government prints a bunch of money to pay for welfare benefits, or if the income from rents skyrockets, or if benefits grow faster than wages, or if corporate profits sit undistributed (all of which are true) the share of total GDP going to median income earners will go down. (Note they do include investment income and distributed corporate profits.)

The study’s problem isn’t methodology, per say. It’s overlooking that there are other things in GDP besides taxable income to the bottom 99% versus the top 1%. The article draws the conclusion that reductions in the percentage of the economy going to the median earner means that they instead went to the top 1%. Obviously that’s false because the money could go somewhere else. Under the RAND model, both shares could even go down, because a larger share of the economy is comprised of GDP components that aren’t taxable personal income.
Why wouldn't you just sell one program as a service at that point instead of making custom software for each client?

Also everything you said here is extremely generic, it doesn't address the initial problem of finding a problem that a company needs solved and will pay for, but wouldn't solve themselves internally.
If only we could get the NSA to publish their archive of public data.
I've been running 14 beta for a couple months. Never had this problem either.
The part about how food insecurity causes obesity is hard to understand. Its well documented that poverty leads to unhealthier food. Its obvious that poverty leads to food insecurity. Still, wrapping ones head around how not having enough to eat leads one to be obese is tough to grok. Really emphasizes just how bad cheap is for you.

The part about how 12 states have averages above 35%... didn't make sense to me if the national average is 42. Maybe I missed something.
I got downvoted in the other thread for saying this. Ppl are surfacing all sorts of bugs that I wouldn’t wanna deal with. So what that one or two guys had a relatively bug-free beta experience, generally software has bugs these days during its initial release.
Could you source or back up your claim that there are generational differences at work here? I don't really follow.

Hi, I don't have a comprehensive guide or anything like that, but I can quickly answer your questions:

1. Delimiting your text with 
 lets the code know where the boundaries of your text chunks are. It makes sure that during training you're not inadvertently continuing past the end of a chunk of text into a totally unrelated one. However, it seems like there is a bug with this re how the nsheppard fork works: https://github.com/openai/gpt-2/issues/222

Even if you're not doing this, you shouldn't be getting gibberish, so you likely have another issue in your set up.

2. Finetuning just means training on top of a somewhat already trained model. GPT-2 is a language model, which means it's trying to learn (and generates from) a probability distribution over words (actually tokens). That probability distribution is going to be different depending on what corpus you're working with (wikipidia articles vs news vs reddit). GPT-2 (the models you download) is trained on a particular corpus but you as you fine-tune on your own corpus it's going to start pulling the learned probability distribution towards that of your dataset's.

I think the best way to play with this stuff is to run the code, like you're doing. When you get something that doesn't make sense, dig into the code/paper. There's also a lot of information in the readmes/issues for these repos.
I call it the “COVID 19”.
This is probably it. They see all those free users and think of them as "potential customers." They just don't realize/care that their "potential" is like $20-40 out of maybe 10% of them. And well, it's pretty hard to sell a product the the public for $20 then turn around and sell it to enterprises for $20,000.

Adobe at least offers lower cost products for their less sophisticated users.

That's an extremely unfair read of the situation. The extension doesn't even ban anything. It is a research project attempting to understand why the YouTube algorithm recommends the videos it does. Whether or not you think Plandemic (a nonsense conspiracy theory video) should be banned or not you can still see research into the YouTube algorithm as a worthwhile endeavour.
CloudFlare (yes they are a registrar now) or Gandi are my go-tos! Never had an issue.

"We're literally doing the opposite."

Some people (I know one of them) carry their pokemon from the first generation, so they can still catch'em all. My friend's case is a mix of nostalgia and just knowing what they will get from the experience.

But Pokemon is not just about collecting pokemon, there's the competitive scene for one, where people will welcome new pokemons to shake the meta and not always care about a mon being available or not.
I guess it's bifurcated, like too many other things in our society are becoming.

People are either doing no physical activity, or they're doing triathlons.

People either have multiple degrees, or they didn't finish high-school.

People either buy a house in their early 20s, or they're renting all their lives.

People either read a book a week, or they never read a book at all.

(Obviously there are practically many people in between these extremes and people are free to do whatever they want and many people are happy and successful on both sides of each of these spectrums.)

> The thing about the EU is, it's not a democratic government. It's atreaty organization that sometimes takes on responsibilities like a government.

what? This opinion seems to be highly uninformed about how the EU and it's actual bodies work.
i can vote for EU elections and representatives in the european parlement. Also the european commision and the council consist of either parties elected in the national elections, or national leaders themselves.
Also, the european parlement uses quantitative representation, which means smaller nations have a larger say compared to larger ones.

>This dual identity has been a boon in some political situations in the past, but it is also a serious liability. Von der Leyen got the job in a usual way for a treaty organization, but she is much more political than some technocrat. There are factions that like it each way, and her job is to play both ends against the middle.

What dual identity? The european community has had a parlement since the 70's, and the european project has been a political union since it's very beginning in the 50's. You seem to assume that van der leyen has vast political power on her own, but the EU is far to decentralized for that. The EU is is a complex political system because it is highly decentralised. (which in terms is happening because all it's members are sovereign).

>You don't need a democratic mandate to appoint the head of a civil service. You definitely do when choosing the leader of the (de facto) government!

This democratic process exists, as explained above. not having direct representation is not the issue here. The way of elections in the EU is roughly the same as what happens in most if not all EU member states. (with the exception of mainly the UK).
I found it less click-baity and more a sly reference to the perception of the theory by its contemporaries (particularly Feynman in his QED book):

"…is technically called ‘renormalization.’ But no matter how clever the word, it is what I would call a dippy process! Having to resort to such hocus-pocus has prevented us from proving that the theory [...][...] is self-consistent. It’s surprising that the theory still hasn’t been proved self-consistent one way or the other by now; [...][...] What is certain is that we do not have a good mathematical way to describe the theory of quantum electrodynamics: such a bunch of words…"

Why not increase your prices and target larger customers then?
I love http://domains.Google

You get free email forwarding (even wildcard), free domain privacy, free website forwarding (with ssl), Google infrastructure behind all of that and the authoritative DNS they offer.

Cloudflare also offers a registrar service and its good.
Gave up Godaddy recently, after 10 years. Overpriced ssl, old php version and no sign for upgrades and improvements.
I doubt it's any sort of deliberate act, just the normalization of people looking bigger and bigger and that becoming "normal". People who were fat a generation ago are now normal because the window has shifted. I don't think that the movements for obesity normalization has had as much of an effect as just seeing larger people around.
As always, it depends on the problem you're solving.

A 2x speedup in the inner loops of a game can be a very big deal. And for business workloads, I occasionally spend time babysitting clusters running batch jobs. A 2x performance increase in the right inner loop might save a couple hundred dollars per run.

So certainly, profile before you optimize, as the article demonstrates. But 2x speedups can be worth applying a "struct of arrays" transform.
The tradeoffs aren't worth it.

That's why people left Pittsburgh en masse and other cities have larger populations. Ultimately if it didn't make sense to go to big cities people would stop because of the costs - clearly the market says it's worth it.

Not everyone wants to live in the midwest with terrible food options just so they can afford a house built in 1940 with knob and tube wiring. These costs are never considered because people just want to say things like "lol move" without considering why people just don't move.
DNSimple is great for domain names.
And thank god for it. Trying to explain to end users why their site was not, in fact, always online on account of the creaking behemoth that plodded along in IAD barely managing to successfully cache and serve anything ever was never any fun.

The original Always Online infra was long unloved and probably kept on life support far too long for lack of want to deprecate an early feature.
You should have bot the Domain Name insurance!

You can work out and still be obese. It's all in the diet. On the same subject, bodybuilders don't fit into BMI parameters, so body fat percentage is a lot more accurate to determine obesity, but it's much harder to measure, so for the wide population BMI is used.
It does keep you full and likely will help you avoid eating too much. But don't go tricking yourself into believing it's "ideal" for your body with that as your only data point.
Since it's sqlite...not sure how many tables or joins. You may just be able to dump to csv (and json) using sqlite3's built-in (and add-on) exporter
GoDaddy has been a bad actor for as long as I can remember.

This thread is a good indicator of how/why they keep doing it though. Every time I start to think people have finally caught on an realized how GoDaddy treats customers and potential customers, I see a new case of someone seemingly unaware of their vast history of stuff like this.

We think it is easy to disseminate information on the internet, but in the end it is really hard to really get anything into true general awareness.
I've been using Porkbun for a few years and have no complaints.
Yes there is plenty of entitlement in software, mostly from folks who have never run a software business. Queue video-game enthusiasts that think the $60 price of the game somehow facilitates providing content updates, bug fixes, and hosting multiplayer servers until the heat death of the universe.

There is significantly distorted public perception of the true costs of software. The hidden subsidies of advertising monetization and data collection have done an excellent job of this. In Autodesk's case, it was enterprise customers paying tens and hundreds of thousands for license seats, so that private parties could use it for free.

The alternative for autodesk may be to show Ads in the software, or collect data about what you're designing for ad profiles. I'm sure people would love that as an alternative.
It was a typical startup: somewhat disorganized, but with some interesting technical questions.

I didn't know nearly as much about reversing back when I interviewed as I did now. Most of the questions were on the order of "come up with better ideas than we have", which IMHO is probably not the best way to interview.

Yea if you want to live in a crap, run down neighborhood with a crappy school district and a house built a century ago that isn't code and will cost 50k to fix. I lived there - these statistics are nonsense. They don't tell the whole story.
Rice, beans, sugar, and bread are cheap foods -- if you are trapped in poverty then you will be eating a carb-heavy mostly plant-based diet and you'll probably also be consuming a lot of sugar. Carbohydrates are what lead to obesity. Cutting carbs out entirely is a healthy way to cut weight, but that would mean eating only meat, which is comparatively expensive. This is why poor people are fat.
I often find myself saying "never do at runtime what could be done at compile time".

There is a scientific consensus that being obese reduces your life expectancy.

I didn't write about this because it wasn't toward my exact point about FP, but you're totally right. This will be equally as chilling for new web frameworks.
Here's my rough list of games that you can play on a 3DS that are not necessarily 3DS games that I think are "must play" type games. Does not include all games that should be on the list.

1. LoZ: Ocarina of Time
2. Super Mario 64 (ds version)
3. Donkey Kong Country Returns
4. LoZ: A Link To The Past
5. Shin Megami Tensei: IV (maybe not "must", but you should give it a shot)
6. Earthbound
7. Super Mario World
We use AWS Route 53 for domain registration. Works like a charm.
Classic "virtual surround" works like you've noticed in VLC. I believe the new spatial audio formats (including Apple's) all use a standard HRTF (head-related transfer function) that approximates an average person's ear canal shape. This lets you be placed in a virtual space surrounded by audio sources/objects.

Sony's Mark Cerny had a fascinating talk on PS5's spatial audio implementation. Sony might even support importing a custom-measured HRTF for even greater sound placement accuracy. No idea where you'd get it measured though!

That’s true. I was half joking because public opinion might differ.
That must be why India, with one of the lowest meat consumption rates in the world, tops the obesity charts.
I use ipage for domains and hosting and never had a problem with it. I am looking at my past bill and I paid $96 for a year of hosting. I don't use it for much, just static HTML. I use ftp to push changes. Dead simple.

Maybe this works presently, but under the hood whois must still be querying some server who could use your query to buy it? I guess the purchase intent is lower with whois, as you may drown in other queries.
> What is the preferred way to do this in Rust? Is there something better than using indexes?

I don't think so.

> Rust doesn't appear to have a way to say "give me the location of this &str in that &str" (even though it seems like it would be safe).

'course there is: str::find (https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/primitive.str.html#method.find)

It looks a bit abstract because it takes a Pattern rather than an `&str`, but a char, a slice of chars, an &str, or a predicate function, are all patterns.
Yeah, worth surfacing!
Modern React meaning Hooks?
Can you expand on this: "AWS healthchecks each kubernetes node, but not your pods themselves".

Are you talking about a keepalive connection to an unhealthy pod which is reused for multiple requests? So the failure modes are, if I understand you correctly, a) the ALB keeps sending requests through an established keep-alive HTTP connection which terminates in an unhealthy pod, but which it sees as healthy because the node is healthy and can route traffic to another, healthy pod, and b) the health of an established HTTP keepalive connection is perceived to be that of the node rather than the destination pod, so nodes which become unhealthy can cause the ALB to unnecessarily terminate a keepalive connection.

We had to switch to using target-type=instance because of issues with pods not being deregistered. I'd prefer to use target-type IP but it seemed like preventing 500s on rollouts required a bit of testing and tuning with a very specific approach. e.g. introducing a longish delay on pod termination with a lifecycle hook and using the pod readiness gate support recently added to alb-ingress-controller.
I've used hover.com for probably 10 years. Pretty great. Simple UI, no upselling/spam and they have customer support. I've never called, but it's nice knowing it's there. I then use CloudFlare for DNS
Is more than OOP. Look at this as the difference between OLAP/OLTP databases: DOD is OLAP(Columnar) that make easy to do "query" by columns but awkward to do piece meal updates and OOP/Row-nar(?) code stay because frankly is the default everywhere. And far easier for make updates.

Iterate by rows is far more common that by just "a column". Also, constant update of the rows is more common that have a static, full materialization of the data that only need to be queried.

So, doing DOD only work in some scenarios, but do "by rows" is the common one.

P.D: I tried to go full columnar building a relational language, but get very obvious very fast that it not work for the general case. Is telling that kdb+ (probably the biggest proponent in the area) work in a OLAP-like niche...
My job as a freelancer is to view the bigger picture of the client. Then discuss things and see what's the best course of action. Hardware, software, operating systems - all these are irrelevant. You advice your client to his needs, not to your " I like web apps so this has to be a web app". So in this particular case the phone had to be unloaded and that's exactly what I did.
MY assumption would be that it's a combination of nice summer weather which makes social distancing easier, and all the super spreading idiots that don't comply are getting sick, recovering, and no longer able to (for the time being) continue to infect others.

The article Principles for Better Design gathers insights on how to solve problems efficiently, but omits a crucial point: how to evaluate other people’s designs. This article focuses on one aspect of assessing the credibility of a design.

Collaboration is essential in the development of great designs, not only because it engages competition, but also because, since everyone has a piece of reality, the combination of parts contributes to the resolution of a more complete reality.

"That puts a ceiling on pre-existing immunity at somewhere around 40%."

No, you're assuming that pre-existing immunity excludes people testing positive for the virus. You can test positive while mounting a robust immune response. In fact given that most infections are minimally symptomatic, it's arguable that immunity is the norm, not the exception.
Body shaming is not a valid method of making people get in shape, so I don't think there's anything wrong in the acceptance of people with more mass. We do have other ways to encourage people to lose weight though, such as sugar taxes, regulating processed foods' contents, investing in making fresh produce widely available etc. which can make a difference.

Yes, you are fat shaming if you mention they are unhealthy and overweight. The idea that you are in the wrong for pointing this out is mind-blowing to me.

While it may not be an effective means of changing their behavior it is a valid means of framing conversations around what is desirable and healthy. If we continue to allow peoples feelings about how they feel override what we objectively know to be good we will be on the fast train to hell.
A calorie's a calorie's a calorie. The food being cheap doesn't suddenly make it more fattening. You can be skinny on a diet of birthday cake if you wanted to.

* Not being sure that the next meal is coming means you have to pack on some lbs to reach the point where you can go a few days without a square meal.

* The not actually getting the next meal makes you ravenously hungry when it comes even if on average you're overeating. It's why people with EDs aren't automatically skinny -- if you restrict and then binge you can/will gain weight.
