> Idol-worshippers like Hindus are considered beastly and low-life. So don't expect foreigners to accept what Hindus says as our moralities are going to cut through their doctrinal abhrahamic morality though they are separate religions.

Once you start telling people your opposition's views, you're stepping into territory that weakens your own argument. This is a textbook example. All you've done is spread the rhetoric of your own side about how the other side views you, which is propaganda.

In the US, this would be akin to BLM stating that anyone that disagrees with their movement is racist and sees them as sub-human, or the police stating that the defund the police movement is about disbanding the police entirely. While there are obviously subsets of people that do believe those things, those are not the stances of the respective groups and do to convey the overall aims of each.

Why should your self-serving statement that vilifies your opposition be viewed any differently?
I'm on my third. It's definitely worth it, but it's also, if done well, a long, hard haul.

I think it's probably good to go into the project with an idea of why you're doing this. Are you creating what's basically an extended business card? Are you trying to help a particular kind of person that you know very well? Or are you chasing the goal of matching up a slice of knowledge with an eager audience?

There are other goals. For instance, a lot of disparate experiences in your career can come together to help on a certain section you're working on. This allows you to personally gain some synthesis from your experiences you might not otherwise. You can find new depth in ancillary areas as you go through and footnote, adding more depth to the things you're talking about both for yourself and the reader.

It's good to have those goals, even if you end up delivering a different kind of book than you had planned, because as a sole author something's got to keep you motivated for years. This isn't a software project, a job, or even a romantic commitment. Whatever you write, if it's worth writing, becomes a part of you. Like one of the other commenters says, if you have people on your team with published books they're likely to be busy responding to and helping folks interested in those areas. That doesn't go away simply because you move on.

Probably the best advice I can give for new authors is that it should be a lot of work, and once you finish each phase you'll say to yourself, "Now comes the hard part". This essay writer gave 50 presentations. Wow! That number of public appearances alone is a non-trivial amount of work. Don't forget contacting bloggers, podcasts, tech publishers, and so on. No matter where you are in the process, next up is the hard part.

None of that is any reason not to do it, of course. You just should be aware that if you're going to do a good job it's a major commitment. Prepare your outlook accordingly.

They could, but what's the benefit? Apple is currently innovating by being closed.

(Android is a more complicated story; if you mean "The Android ecosystem tied to Google Play Services and controlled by Google," I can agree. There's a whole chunk of Android not meeting that criteria, and by many people's estimates, it's behind the 'closed' one for features and reliability).

To me it seems obvious that there should be an income floor.

The problem with these experiments though is that there is no possible way to make it universal with budgets in the same universe as we have now.

And if you study universal basic income, you will eventually learn that the universal part is actually critical.

But I think that UBI is actually necessary. Since it's completely unsustainable with our current system, I believe we need a new system with money that is much more high-tech.

> Once that happens, the value of those networks will rapidly deteriorate as people will seek out more authentic experiences with real people.

Will they? People interact with these things because they are giving the brain what it wants, not what it might need. How many people would flock to a verified minimal bias news site? How many people would embrace so many hard truths and throw off their comforting lies? How many people could even admit to themselves they were being lied to and had formed their identity around those lies?

Do people want authentic now? The evidence says no.
No. The problem is that social media is like gathering all the people you know into a single room and shouting your thoughts at them. That's not how socializing is done. Not how the encouragement to seek out differing opinions in college works. Those things are done individually or in small groups. That works great, there can be a give and take where people can listen to each other. That's where social media badly breaks down.
Founded in 2019, Ascender.AI brings together powerful machine learning tools to change the way we interact with and discover information. A powerful and flexible ingest engine allows us to work with any data source.

Our goal is to transform search into an interactive experience. Our visualization allows you to drill down and refine results, and always preserves the original document. We process videos and tag them using facial recognition, translate documents on ingest, and cluster them.

A touch driven interface turns data search into true exploration.

The rendering of text in the experience is driven by Named Entity Recognition, part of speech tagging, and text summarization.

Clustering is performed by topic based on BERT embeddings in a force directed graph.

The engine is written in typescript and python. We use data from several proprietary media monitoring platforms.

News articles and videos are from several sources.

NewsAPI.org provides broad headline news coverage.

Our partner company AppTek captures many Arabic language broadcast TV news channels from satellite, which are speech recognized in Arabic, machine translated into English, and used as multilingual content for our system. We scrape many text news sources from the web.
> Looking at evidence from developed countries and their central banks, they are unable to generate an appreciable amount of inflation from monetary policy (significant quantitive easing operations)

Since QE operations were not designed to produce inflation (and were arguably designed specifically to not produce consumer price inflation), this isn't exactly surprising. They did, however, affect prices of the assets the government bought up as predicted.

Suffice to say, there's a massive difference between monetary expansions in a time of deep recession - economic policy orthodoxy since Keynes - and the assumption that inflation isn't a thing in developed countries.

It's much the same as a startup can pay for stuff by emitting more equity: pay for the right stuff and the value of the company might actually rise and there are many examples of valuations leaping afterwards, but you can't just assume these examples and the infinite divisibility of the cap table means no startup needs to worry about dilution or impact on future valuations.

> Spain is experimenting with something not quite UBI [4] (but close enough for this comment I will refer to it as such), and their inflation rate is currently negative [5]. Something to follow.

Spain reforming its benefits system to create a new payout to 5% off its population to be funded by debt and taxes isn't remotely similar to Spain reforming its benefits system to pay its entire population newly printed money, so the fact the former has little immediately evident inflationary impact in the middle of Covid tells us very little about the latter.

Uber or Lyft would provide local point-to-point transport once at the long-haul destination.

If you're making extended or multi-stop day or multi-day trips at a destination, you no longer have a simple long-haul transport need. A local car hire, group tour bus, bicycle rental, transporting your own bike, or similar arrangement could satisfy this.

Boeing 737s and Airbus A330s would be equally or more handicapped under such circumstances, though a Cesna or comparable bush plane might be appropriate in some regions.

>The thing about state dependence that I don’t like is that that means the state has power over you. Follow our rules or you lose benefits. What, you’re against X? Sorry, come correct or lose your privilege to those benefits.

I don't understand how this would be a valid reason to not give a benefit. Even if that benefit comes with strings or can be taken away, isn't receiving that benefit for a period of time more helpful than never receiving it at all?
In my experience, not all masters are created equal. When looking at resumes I like to differentiate between research track MS (basically, the first years of a PhD) and "classes only" masters. The former typically ends with a thesis and for CS the latter is typically aimed at folks doing a career change after an unrelated undergrad.

Now, there's nothing wrong with doing a CS masters to make a career change, but these masters indeed tend to have lighter curriculum than the undergrad version of a CS diploma.
>How is the first example any less creepy than the second example?

It's not. The whole concept of 'read receipts/tracking' in general, whether it's email or messaging or whatever is starting to get to me.

I've never actually heard of a positive use for them and I know they've personally caused me stress before as well as people I know and people's stories i've read.

I honestly can't see the desirability about a feature that allows you to see when others have read your message.

Even in your examples, they cause stress, the marketer and the love letter writer are stressed waiting, the person receiving the letter if they knew reads were being tracked would be stressed.

It really creates a strange conversation dynamic and the more communication methods that have it, the more uncomfortable I find communicating to be.

How to Avoid Building a Shoddy Data Architecture
The PS4 is full of ads for apps. I find it to be less enjoyable of an experience than the PS3. It's good to hear that their TVs haven't been corrupted yet.
Something I learned very quickly the first time I started a business doing online sales to a global market is that while it might be very un-PC to talk about entire nations or cultures with stereotypes, there certainly are patterns in how people from different countries behave, and there certainly are some places where it may be economically justified to decline all sales because the risk of fraud or other abuse is so high.

The UK has never been a particular problem for us in that respect. Maybe that's because it's our home country and we are somehow more appealing in how we present ourselves. Maybe it's the market we're in. Maybe our pricing model makes it less worthwhile to try to rip us off if you have a typical UK income. Unfortunately there isn't any truly reliable way to determine why people from some places are so much higher risk than others. But the numbers don't lie.

FWIW, I think the Germans are probably the best customers we've had. IME, they're invariably courteous and very rarely cause trouble. And even on the rare occasion when a German breaks our rules (probably unintentionally due to a language barrier or the like) the response to a polite message informing them of such and asking them to stop is usually a polite apology and immediately correcting whatever inappropriate behaviour was happening. So there are definitely cultural outliers in positive directions as well as negative ones.
You mention realistic forgeries, AI and huge volume as a possibility and that the outcome would be that people would be pushed into the real world but I'm not sure I see the connection.

If I can interact with bots that emulate humans with such a degree of realism, what do I care? You could be a bot, the whole of HN can be bots, I don't really care who wrote the text if I can get something from it, I mean I don't have any idea who you are and don't even read usernames when reading posts here on HN.

At its core this seems like a moderation issue, if someone writes bots that just post low quality nonsense, ban them, but if bots are just wrong or not super eloquent, I can point you to reddit and twitter right now and you can see a lot of those low quality nonsense, all posted by actual humans. In fact you can go outside and speak to real people and most of it is nonsense (me included).

> They're not truth, they're are nothing more than models. The truth can fit a plethora of models.

Models receive past data and emit predictions. We can then see how well those predictions match future data. We call one model "better" than another model when that first models' predictions more closely match future data than the second model's. Not all models are equivalent. The ML fairness people want to make model predictions less accurate because they don't like what the predictions say. Prioritizing truth over pleasantness isn't juvenile: it's the opposite. The mark of maturity is the willingness to accept an unpleasant reality instead of denying it.

UBI might seem crazy to some people, but I'd like to remind everyone that governments worldwide effectively print trillions of dollars and use that money to inflate stock prices.

Governments could instead distribute the money through UBI. The advantage, if you do that, is that people will spend that money on things they need. This seems better, to me, than keeping alive zombie companies that are "too big to fail" and contribute little to no value to society. If you give people UBI, they are voting with their wallets and giving money to companies that produce something useful.

As for the national debt... When the government borrows money from a central bank, it's effectively borrowing money from itself. They might pretend otherwise, but central banks are effectively an arm of the government. The national debt is an artificial construct. Governments could eliminate it with the stroke of a pen.

So what we name silence? Good ambiance or absence of sound?
Hahaha, this is far too true. I think anyone who says "You should listen to other viewpoints" and intends that to be "this is why you should listen to me" has some massive lack of self-awareness.

Listening to other viewpoints is like invoking Crocker's Rules. You can't invoke the rules on other people. Only yourself.

You just don't have the information to determine whether you're worth listening to. Because you will always think you're worth listening to.
This simply doesn’t work in the long run, and/or at scale. For me someone who doesn’t mute while they’re not talking is a dead giveaway they haven’t been doing remote work for very long.

If your child is crying, it’s fine, I understand how things are, and of course I’ll understand you’re distracted. However, I’m not fine with your child distracting all 20 people on the call.

> I'm not so sure that giving folks a small welfare check and putting them in highly subsidized public housing projects is the best solution.

The best solution to what problem, exactly? All of them?

It feels like you're shifting the goalposts here. Are you trying to find some kind of silver bullet where one "solution" solves all of these problems at the same time? Each of those "bromides" offers actual good solutions to each of those individual problems.

Notable also is that the OP did not call it "welfare" checks or "highly subsidized public" housing. Those extra qualifiers make it quite clear what your agenda/already made opinion is, even when you're attempting to hide it in conciliatory/placating language.

> The army does the same thing.

The military has an up-or-out philosophy, where you must achieve a certain rank after a number of years or get forced out. The major issue with this approach is that promotions in the middle ranks heavily favor seniority. So you might have completed all of your course requirements ahead of time and have glowing PMA from your CO, all in preparation for taking your exam after you meet the time in rank, score the best on the exam, but still get passed up in favor of someone else who has been trying for 4 years to get a promotion because their FMS is higher due to seniority, not capability.

I can see why someone would conflate it with the Peter Principal, but I don't really think it's the same thing. The Peter Principal is predicated upon being good at your job at rank N, but doing poorly at rank N+1.
